Important note:

If needed destroy any scram Frigates and warp away.

At Gate (25-50km)

(No aggro until within 15km of gate)

5x Frigate (Ammatar Navy Soldier)
5x Cruiser (Ammatar Navy Maller)
10x Battleship (Ammatar Navy Armageddon, Ammatar Navy Apocalypse)

Tips

Apocalypse Battleships use short range weapons and will quickly close in to 6km range.

Mission completed when 1x Blood Obsidian Orb (0.1 m3) is removed from container.

2,461,000 units of Veldspar within a radius of 15km.

Blitz (Avoid Negative Standing Hit For Ship Kill)

At Gate area, lure NPC's away at least 150km and then quickly double back to access Gate.

Apply same strategy inside Pocket 1, lure NPC's away from the Chapel at least 150km, then double back and hack container.

Fitting a Micro Jump Drive will help a lot.

4x Battleship (Ammatar Navy Armageddon, Ammatar Navy Apocolypse)

Tips

NPC's are spread out within the mission area making it very tough to avoid ship kill or to blitz this mission.

Best to quickly destroy all ships first due to amount of Relics needing to be hacked.

Possible Avoidance Of Ship Kill

Lure NPC's away at least 150km to 200km range and then quickly double back to hack Relics.

Repeat as needed until all Relics are hacked and mission objective is completed.
