EACH ship from the Initial Group is a spawn trigger.
For each ship killed, one Reinforcement Group is spawned. The spawns may target drones/fleet members.

3x Battlecruisers (Siege/Defeater Alvatis)2x Battleships (Alvus Ruler)
Tips
- To manage aggro, do not kill the trigger ships all at once. Eliminate an incoming reinforcement group first, before you trigger the next group (Drones also seem to prefer the trigger ships from the initial spawn).
- You may warp-in at any distance : Inititate the first time warp, cancel it and then warp in at your preferred distance.
- The Alvus Ruler/Supreme Parasite battleships can be sniped or outrunned. Their max attack distance is approx 50-55km, and they move very slowly.
- Mission is flagged completed after the reinforcement group is killed, that is spawned by the drone that was out of order from the initial group (see Blitz below for details)
Blitz
- There are four drones. One of the drones is noticeably farther away from the other 3 drones (and closer to you if you warped to 0 km). Zoom out and change the view around to different angles until you can see which drone is farther away from the other 3. Kill this drone, new ships will spawn, kill the new ships and the mission completes.
- The drone to blitz can be a Bomber Alvum or a Defeater Alvatis. It seems random. So just look for the one that stands out on its own.
