===Single Group (8-32km)===
2x Frigates (Coreli Guardian Initiate/ Scout) **(Web/ Scramb)**
5x Frigates (Coreli Patroller/ Watchman)

====Pocket 2====

==Tip==
Each group will aggro independently when attacked.
Acceleration gate sits at 65-70km. You need to kill all ships in this pocket to unlock it.
Fitting an afterburner is recommended.

===Group 1 (40-50km)===
6x Frigates (Coreli Guard/Safeguard)
2x Destoyers (Corelior Soldier/Trooper)

==Structures==
1x War Installation: Ammo, 1-2 T1 modules
12x Starbase Major Assembly Array: Minerals & Alloys (each worth ~10k)
All other structures: No Loot

**The loot from the War Installation is not worth the time it takes to destroy it (because of the large amount of hit points)**
(One reported destruction required over 1,000 Heavy missiles)

Full pocket aggro upon attacking Group 3.

===Group 1 (30-40km Auto Aggro)===
2x Frigates (Coreli Guardian Initiate/Scout) **(Web/Scramb)**
