Pocket 1
Auto aggro from Spawn 1 after several seconds. New spawns will appear at an interval between 60-90 secs.
These spawns will start from the three Shipyard structures, each about 20-30km from the warp-in point.
Structures drop no loot.
Drones will get aggroed by the later spawns, so retrieve/deploy them as necessary to avoid damage.
Warning
- Once Spawn 1 has been initiated, the Shipyards will keep spawning ships regardless of your location. If you had warped out, there will be a full gang waiting when next you warp-in.
- The full gang's DPS estimate is ~900-1100dps.
- The loot from the battleships is generally rather good (usually about 2m/each).

- You do not need to kill any hostile ships in this pocket. The warp gate is unlocked and sits about 24km from the warp-in point.
- You can use any fast frigate/cruiser (over 500m/s) to evasively tank Spawn 1 and quickly cover the distance to warp off through the gate.
- Mission is flagged completed once you have activated the gate and warped into Pocket 2.

You will receive the mission completed message/journal update.
You can just warp off without needing to kill any hostile ships in this pocket.

Spawn 2 was 3 frigs and 3 E Cruisers.
Nice loot on this mission. 25 mil total. including 7.6 mill for salvage with agent at effective quality of 52.
Spawn 1 had 3 BS's, Spawn 2 had Cruisers with different name: Elder Corpum Arch Sage.
EM cruise missiles (paradise) exceed thermal missiles (cataclysm) in damage by about 30%. Use faction at first, then drop down to standard as the room clears.
I used figures from Grismar's rat db, no idea if it's using the latest data
dump.
