You warp right into the mission at a random spot. The respawns is random. It's allways the battleship that is 1x of that triggers the next spawn. If all battleships are similar, the respawn should be when you've killed all but 1 battleship.
Example of waves:
Initial: 5 bs, stasis tower, 3 dessies.
1st wave: 5 bs, 17 cruisers, 2 frigs.
2nd wave: 2 bs, 3 dessies, 1 scrambling frig.
3rd wave: 4 bs, 3 cruisers, 1 scram frig.
4th wave: 4 bs, 4 scram frigs. Mission complete when Core lord admiral is killed.
Heavy dampening in the first wave and some in the 3rd wave. Corelum Guardian Chief Patroler and corelum Guardian Chief Guardian is the heaviest dampners. A unboosted raven gets approx 15km range.
You get notified each time a new spawn arrives, and when you have killed the leader.
Malibu Staceys tip: This mission is very snipable in a Dominix using Sentry Drones. Warp in at 100km to the mission area & deploy your Wardens, makes it very easy (stay approx 90-100km from the stargate). There is the occasional damp though so Sensor Booster(s) may be in order. Popping the frigs & cruisers at range is easy with Wardens & I found once they were gone the BS's didn't ever damp.
