Initial warp in to within 30k of Acceleration Gate; No NPC's. Use gate to reach Pocket 1.

Pocket 1

Initially there are
5x Container('Amarr Battleship Wreckage') - Each contains one 'Metal Scraps' and tractor beams do not work on them
as well as

Group 1 (Aggro)

4x Frigates
3x Battleships

Group 2

Triggered by destruction of the last ship of Group 1

4x Battlecruisers
4x Battleships

Destruction of Group 2 triggers the appearance of a 6th Container, this one called also 'Amarr Battleship Wreckage', but with a different type 'Amarrian Battleship Wreck'. Either use the type or just ignore the other containers to find that 6th container which holds the gate key (an 'Acceleration Gate Authentication Matrix') needed to get to Pocket 2.

Pocket 2

Group 1

3x Frigates
3x Battleships

Group 2

Triggered by destruction of last battleship in Group 1, appearing at close range

3x Battlecruisers
3x Battleships

Group 3

Triggered by destruction of last battleship in Group 2, appearing at 30k

4x Battlecruisers
3x Battleships

Group 4

Triggered by shooting any of the battleships of Group 3

The Mercenary (a Mordus Mammoth battleship) - In contrast to other spawns agresses drones

Killing the Mercenary completes the mission.

Blitz

Room 1 can not be blitzed as the container with the key is triggered by the last ship's destruction.
Room 2 can hardly be blitzed as you have to remove two spawns to be able to trigger the mission objective.

See my comments for further info (below).
