Faction: Angel Cartel and Sansha's Nation
Mission Type: Encounter
Space type: Deadspace with gate
Damage dealt: Kinetic/Therm (Angels) - EM/Therm (Sanshas)
Recommended damage dealing: Kinetic/Therm (Angels) - EM/Therm (Sanshas)
Recommended ships classes: Battleship, Battlecruiser

For this storyline you are asked to retrieve a misison objective (Salvaged Electronics, 20 m³).

After destroying the whole group present, a new spawn will appear.
In total there are one initial group (Angels) and three waves (Sanshas) equals four groups.
All groups will autoaggro after some seconds.

Note: On an omnitanked drake the first group of Angels did significantly more damage than the upcoming groups of Sanshas.
As I always retrieve my drones after having killed an entire group I do not know if new groups target them.

Single Pocket

Initial Group (auto-aggro)

Angels
3x Gistii Raider (Frigate)
3x Gistum Marauder (Cruiser)
6x Gist Warlord (Battleship)
4x Angel Heavy Missile Battery

After destroying all ships, the waves start. This is indicated by a message about a Cynofield opening.
The Cynosural field opens about 25 km from the initial warp in point.

Wave 1 (auto-aggro)

Sanshas
2x Centi Enslaver (Frigate)
2x Centus Mutant Lord (Battleship)

After destroying all ships, the next group spawns.

Wave 2 (auto-aggro)

Sanshas
2x Centum Hellhound (Battlecruiser)
2x Centus Savage Lord (Battleship)

After destroying all ships, the final group appears.

Wave 3 (auto-aggro)

Sanshas
3x Centatis Wraith (Battlecruiser)
2x Centus Savage Lord (Battleship)

After having killed all ships you receive the following message:
Cloaked Cache
The automated base defenses register that combat has ceased, uncloaking a nearby cache of valuables.

You'll find a now revealed Bunker labelled "Cloaked Cache" which contains scrap metal and the mission's objective (Salvaged Electronics).

Structures:
Destroyed Bunkers may drop T1 module(s) and scrap metals.
The Watchtowers didn't drop anything.
The two Battlestations have a lot of hitpoints so I did not kill them.

Blitz:
No Blitz as all the ships have to be killed in order for the cloaked cache to be revealed.
