Note: The number of ships in a group will vary. This variance will be indicated in the ship numbers.

The number of frigates and elite frigates will vary, but the sum will always equal the total frigate numbers as reported.

No Hostiles at initial gate.

Pocket 1

Auto aggro from Group 1 at warp-in. Group 2 remains neutral.
Drones can be safely deployed to attack Group 1.

The warp gate to the next pocket is about 35 km away.
The gate is locked until you have eliminated all hostile ships.

Pocket 1

Group 1: Drone Bunker (25km)

3x Frigates/Elite Frigates (Sunder/Raider/Strain Splinter Alvi) (Web/Scramble)
3x Cruisers (Viral Infector/Bomber Alvum)
1x Battleship (Swarm Preserver Alvus/Alvus Controller)

Group 2: Drone Bunker (48-52km)

3x Frigates/Elite Frigates (Decimator/Sunder/Raider/Strain Splinter Alvi) (Web/Scramble)
2x Cruisers (Viral Infector Alvum)
1x Battlecruiser (Defeater Alvatis)

Tip

The drone bunkers in this pocket are not part of the mission objective, so they can be ignored.

Fitting an Afterburner might be useful to burn to the gate.

The Gate to Pocket 2 is at 32 km from warp-in.

Pocket 2

No aggro at warp-in.

Attacking Group 2 (or its bunker) will aggro the entire pocket.
Attacking either Group 1 OR 3 will aggro Group 2.

Drones can be deployed safely, with one exception: Drones that get too close to any remaining neutral group will be attacked.

Second pocket

Group 1: Drone Bunker (45-50km)

6x Frigates/Elite Frigates (Sunder/Raider/Devilfish/Barracuda/Strain Splinter Alvi) (Web/Scramble)

1-2x Battlecruisers (Enforcer Alvatis)
