Blitz
Kill all the trigger Battleships. You will need to snipe as the waves spawned will put out an incredible amount of DPS.Kill the final Corpus Pope Battleship. Done.
Tip
A Spawn's trigger is usually the highest bounty or single named Battleship, but not always.Group spawn locations are in respect to the Minmatar Merchant Gate in the center.
It is recommended that you fit Heavy Capacitor Boosters with Cap Booster 800 if you are unfamiliar with this mission.
If the 1st Spawn is composed of Corpus Oracles the last one killed is the trigger.
If the 2nd Spawn is composed of Corpus Monsignor the 1st one killed is the trigger.
Mission is flagged completed after you have killed the final Corpus Pope battleship.
Additional Information
A very rare Dark Blood Battleship may be part of the final spawn.Structure

IDK if it ever doable in L4, but I think it not worth trying. Bounty+loot+salvage worth way more than mission reward.
officer fit, 2 core b type EM hardners, 2 core b type thermal, DC2, Enam, corpum a type armor rep, 2 aux nano pump.
lvl 3 marauders skill. lvl 4 could swap out enam for cap power relay and nos wont be a problem.
Pocket 1: Flew away from them in my T2 fitted Rokh. Read the guide and follow it!!! (normal difficulty, because of the distance i get). Good to loot.
The same applies to Angel, Serpentis, Sansha. There's no level 4 Guristas Blockade. Or if there is, CCP has never seeded it long enough for info to surface.
Sidenote, Nightmare/Paladin = easy mode for this. Usually completes in 30 minutes. Just make a habit of primarying the HACs first.
Guess I was missioning in the wrong region, getting all those Sanshas. :)
There will always be one single BS, that trigers the next wave.
Most of the time, this trigger-BS will spawn in another group than the other BS of the same class. If it doesn't: good luck at guessing!
So for the Blitz: aim for the single BS, for a full run: aim for the groups first unless you can tank 2-3waves simultaneously.
