Part 3 - The kidnapping

Mission type: Encounter
Spacetype: Deadspace with gates

Pocket 1

Three groups at initial warp in, no aggro. All groups aggro independently.

Group 1 (right) @ 25-35k

4x Mercenary fighters (Frigate)
3x Mercenary corporals (Cruiser)

Group 2 (left) @ 40-45k

4x Mercenary elite fighters (Frigate)
2x Mercenary commanders (Cruiser)

Group 3 (middle) @ 45-50k

2x Mercenary wingman (Frigate) (web)
1x Mercenary lieutenant (Cruiser)
Drazin Jaruk (web)

Habitat holds 3x Drazin Keycard - needed to activate gate to second stage.

The Stage holds 11 Omber roids with 15k in each totalling 165k Omber.
As they are behind the acc gate they take a bit more time to do than normally.
The omber is worth more than the mission bonus. But you can(or i did) make in time to get the bonus reward as well. (using 2 hulks)

Pocket 2

This stage varied quite a bit on the 2 occasions I tried. The Zerak Cheryn version is at 10-20k on warp in & in his Gallente cruiser can be extremely harsh at close range and would be best taken out first if you can tank the two webbing frigates.
The Kuran 'Scarface' Lonan version (Caldari based) is at 40-50k on warp in & and is easy to tank.

Single Group @ 20-40k

2x Mercenary wingman (Frigate) (web)
1x Mercenary lieutenant (Cruiser)
Zerak Cheryn (Cruiser) (Ewar invulnerable) or 1 Kuran 'Scarface' Lonan (Cruiser) or Lynk (web) or 'Korrani Salemo', flying a Moa-type cruiser (webs)
