Faction: Mercenaries
Mission type: Encounter
Space Type: Normal space
Damage dealt: All kinds. Heavy therm/kin.
Extras: Structure deals AOE damage when blown up. (1200 untanked dmg)
Recommended damage dealing: Thermal is best overall. Some cruisers are a little bit more vulnerable to kinetic or explosive.
Recommended ship: Dominix, Typhoon, Maelstrom
Range: If you stay still, then all the ships will orbit from 7km-20km.
Loot: I hauled off 2800 m3 total including salvage.

Single Pocket

The ships are named differently than normal, for example, the Pleasure Hub Sentinel is actually a Mercenary Overlord.

Initial Spawn

Attacking Kruul will trigger 6 battleships (Spawn Two), so save him for last.

3x Frigates, (Kruul's Henchmen)
4x Cruisers, (Pleasure Hub Guardian aka Mercenary Corporals) Orbits at 17km. Use kinetic ammo, but thermal is ok.
3x Battleships, (Pleasure Hub Sentinel aka Mercenary Overlords) Orbits at 4km. Use thermal ammo.
1x Kruul, (Trigger)

I would suggest that you take out the battleships first, then the cruisers, then frigs, and LASTLY, Kruul.
Set your drones to passive so they won't shoot at Kruul by accident and trigger the second spawn.

Spawn Two

This group will trigger spawn right next to Kruul's Pleasure Gardens, and they will want to orbit you at 4km so they can do full dmg.

6x Battleships (Pleasure Hub Sentinel aka Mercenary Overlords) Orbits at 4km. Use thermal ammo.

Blitz

If you destroy the casino before kruul, then this spawn won't appear.

Spawn Three

This trigger spawns when the Kruul's Pleasure Gardens that contains the damsel reaches 25% shields. You have to guess which one of the two she's in.

4x Battleships (Pleasure Hub Sentinel aka Mercenary Overlords) Orbits at 4km. Use thermal ammo.
4x Cruisers (Pleasure Hub Guardian aka Mercenary Corporals) Orbits at 17km. Use kinetic ammo, but thermal is ok.
2x Spider Drone (WEB) Orbits at 7km.

Spawn Four

This will spawn when the Kruul's Pleasure Gardens that contains the Damsel (quest item) is almost through it's hull.

5x Frigates (Seven Death Dealers) Orbits at 7km. Use thermal ammo.
3x Cruisers (Seven Assassins) Orbits at 15km. Very vulnerable to explosive. Kinetic is second best, thermal is third and still okay to use.
1x Battleship (Zor) Orbits at 20km. Easy to kill. He has a chance to web/scramble you but I've never seen him do it.

Once you kill the pleasure garden, it will trigger an explosion (it's not very powerful though).
The damsel will be in one of the cargo containers.
The other one will have some illegal drugs in it. I got 10 crystal egg, 10 drop, 20 frentix, 10 mindflood, and 10 nerve sticks.

Salvage:
2x Broken Drone Transceiver
21x Burned Logic Circuit
44x Charred Micro Circuit
10x Fried Interface Circuit
21x Tripped Power Circuit
