Faction: Angel Cartel
Mission type: Encounter
Space type: Deadspace with Gate
Damage dealt: Exp, Kin
Recommended damage dealing: Exp, Kin
Web/Scramble: Arch Angel Frigates, Gistum Break (low chance web only)
Recommended ships: Dominix, Raven, Myrmidon, Tempest

Pocket 1

Easy to aggro the entire room.
Attacking the leftmost group aggroes also the foremost group. Drones should not cause any aggro, use caution.

Group 1 (60 km) (center front): (Will aggro entire room)
2x Battleships (Gist Commander, Gist General)
3x Elite Cruiser (Gist Marauder)
2x Frigate (Gistii Raider)

Group 2 (85km) (right rear):
3x Cruiser (Gistum Defeater, Gistum Phalanx)

group 3 (80 km) (far left): (Will aggro group 1)
3x Cruiser (Gistum Breaker, Gistum Defeater)
2x Battlecruiser (Gistatis Legionnaire

Group 4 (90km) (mid left):
3x Battleship (Gist Commander, Gist General, Gist War General)
3x Cruiser (Gistum Crusher, Gistum Smasher)

Gate is 28km away

Pocket 2

Attacking the solo Frigate group did not draw aggro, firing on another group drew the entire room.
Stuff in Italics needs verified.
Attacking the rightmost group will not cause any aggro either.
You can attack the top groups and ignore the bottom group of annoying frigates. My drones didn't aggro them either.

Group 1: (60km) (Down right) (Draws no aggro)
4x Frigates (Gistii Impaler, Gistior Seizer)
2x Elite Frigates (Arch Gistii Rogue, Arch Gistii Hijacker) Web/Scramble

Group 2: (90km) (Far Left)
2x Battlecruisers (Gistatis Tribunus, Gistatis Praefectus)

Group 3: (60km) (Front) (Aggros entire pocket)
4x Battelship (Gist General, Gist Warlord, Gist War General)
2x Battlecruisers (Gistatis Praefectus)
2x Transports (Angel Cartel Personnel Transport)

Group 4: (70km) (Back Right)
4x Battleships (Gist Commander, Gist General)
2x Battlecruisers (Gistatis Praefectus)

Structures

No loot is dropped by the ruined stargate or the cathedrals.

BLITZ

Pocket 1: Kill everything
Pocket 2: Only the ships in the group with the transports needs to be destroyed to complete objectives. Don't forget to loot 10 marines.

How to avoid stage-aggro:

1. Approach the group with the transports, fast ship recommended. Don't shoot first.
2. wait until the ships in that group start shooting you. Now you can safely return fire on these 8 ships without drawing stage-aggro.
I think you only have to wait until they start targetting you. Worked for me, anyway. -- KimbeauSurveryor 2010-12-27
