Pocket 1:

upon warpin, there is just a single rat: Kayzum Mother Drone (BS rat), approx 60km away, no aggro.

The mother drone sends out distress signals at the first sign of armor damage, 75% armor, 40% armor and as soon as she is into hull (4 times total):
broadcast: 'The Mother Drone has sent out a call for nearby worker and guard drones to come to her aid'

Tip: engage mother drone till she calls, disengage. let your drones out, kill 'regulars', call drones to bay, back on mother. etc.

The reinforcements warp in at ranges from 20k to 60k. so while the drones killed the close-by rats, i killed the far ones with the lasers.
Each spawn is in fact 6 drones. The 3rd spawn is 2 devilfish drones, 2 crippler alvi and 2 raider alvi. The final spawn is 2 Annihilator Alvum, 2 Devastator Alvum and 2 Striker Alvatis.
Drones orbit at 1.5-10km, 23km, 27km and the mother at 40km.

The mother drone drops an Elite Drone AI chip.

Remember to loot the Mother Drone wreck before you leave the stage, as it will dissapear very quickly.

Pocket 2:

inside is 3 controllers (BS rats), 1 x bomber, 1 x defeater. auto aggro

2nd room seems static. always same 5 rats. and the drone structure seems to drop loot by random. twice nada, once a loot can. inside is one lowend compound.
