Auto aggro from initial group at warp-in after several seconds.
Each ship from the initial group triggers one of the spawns below.
For each ship killed, one reinforcement group will be spawned. These spawns may target Drones and Fleet Members.
Important Notes:
- As of October 2014 you may warp in at any range and snipe.
- Note the ship type pattern for the four reinforcement groups - Frigates/ Destroyers/ Cruisers/ Battlecruisers.
- The ship numbers in a group will randomly vary between 2-3 for each type.
- Reinforcement groups will target and attack any drones out when they spawn, keep an eye on your drones.
Initial Group (Auto-aggro): (20-28km)
4x Cruisers/Battlecruisers (Bomber Alvum)/ (Defeater Alvatis) Trigger (each ship)Frigate Reinforcement Group (Auto-aggro): (23-27km)

2-3x Battlecruisers (Striker Alvatis/Enforcer Alvatis - Siege/ Defeater Alvatis) (Pre-QR in Italics)2-3x Battleships (Supreme Alvus Parasite/Alvus Ruler)
Tips
- To manage aggro, do not kill the trigger ships all at once. Eliminate an incoming reinforcement group first, before you trigger the next group.
- You may warp-in at any distance : Inititate the first time warp, cancel it and then warp in at your preferred distance.
- The Supreme Alvus Parasite/Alvus Ruler battleships can be sniped or outrun. Their max attack distance is around 35 km, and they move very slowly.
- Mission is flagged completed once all ships from the Battlecruiser Reinforcement Group have been eliminated.
- You do not have to kill all ships for this to be marked complete, just kill the ship circled above and the reinforcement group and the mission will be complete.
Blitz
- No blitz since the Dec 2015 Update, you have to kill all drones to complete the mission.
Mining
- There are 2.221.119 units of Veldspar to mine.
Loot and Bounty
No loot.Salvage: ~2.2 mil
Bounty: ~8m to 10m (depends on spawns)
