You start out with a pretty heavy Mercenary spawn. Kill everything except the battleship. As usual the wingmen hit hard exp damage and the cruisers bomb you with em dmg.

After killing the first bs, you'll get the respawn.

Initial spawn (Full aggro)
6x Mercenary Wingmen (EXP, EM, Kin)
4x Mercenary Lieutenants (Therm, Kin)
1x Mercenary Overlord (THERM), Kin) (Trigger)

Initial spawn

Respawn:
4x Shadow's Wingmen (EXP, EM, Kin) (merc wingmen)
6x Shadow's Grunt (Therm, EM, Kin) (merc commander)
2x Shadow's Goon (THERM, Kin) (merc overlord)
1x Shadow (THERM, Kin) (merc overlord)

Note: The respawn might target your team mates instead of you. And it might target your drones.

HINT: Warp to the beacon in a shuttle. BM,warp out, warp 100km to the bm. It should get you some distance. Move away from the area as the respawn will be at the original BM. Then it's not harder than infiltrated outposts, second pocket.

Respawn

Blitz:

Destroy the Overlord, then the Shadow, done. Watch out for the scrambling Wingman though.
