(Part 1 of 3)
Faction: Amarr
Mission type: Deadspace - No Gate
Web/Scramble: All Frigates
Extras: Energy Neutralizer Sentry IIIs, NOS

Recommended damage dealing: EM/Thermal
Recommended ships: (1) Maelstrom w/ passive tank and (1) Maelstrom w/ Shield Transporters
Direct warp into Deadspace. No gate.
Warp-In
Note: Only the Special Forces Squadron that appears at 8 minutes after warp-in needs to be destroyed to complete this mission. However, if you approach to under 10km from the Ghost Ship, it will trigger numerous additional spawns that are optional to destroy. Realize that sometimes this accidentally occurs at warp-in. The Warp-In Beacon is 12km from the Ghost Ship, and your exact warp-in spot can be + or – 2.5km from this beacon. If your warp-in does not land you within the 10km proximity, and if you don’t want to trigger these spawns, then be sure to head away from the Ghost Ship after warp-in.
