Warning

The six Shadow's Grunt Cruisers deal a high amount of EM damage.

Spawn may aggro drones.

Initial Group aggro at warp-in.

Warp in to the Mission Beacon places you near to the Mercenary Overlord battleship.

When you kill it, the next wave with web/ scramble frigs and cruisers will spawn right on top of your ship.

Tip

Normal space mission with no gate (you may select "warp-to" distance prior to visiting the mission area).

Single Pocket

Center Group (23km)

1x Battleship (Mercenary Overlord) Trigger Scourge Heavy Missile

Left Group (90- 100km)

6x Frigates (Mercenary Wingman) Web/ scramble

Right Group (123- 128km)

4x Cruisers (Mercenary Lieutenant) Bloodclaw Light Missile

Spawn (20- 25km)

4x Frigates (Shadow's Wingman - Mercenary Wingman) Web/ scramble
6x Cruisers (Shadow's Grunt - Mercenary Commander) Scourge Heavy Missile
2x Battleships (Shadow's Goon - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy Missile
1x Battleship (Shadow - Mercenary Overlord) Scourge Heavy Missile

Tip

To reduce incoming DPS from spawn: eliminate the Mercenary Commanders first. Watch out for any scrambling frigates and shift your primary target accordingly.

Mission is flagged completed after you have eliminated the Shadow. Don't forget to loot the Report dropped (needed to complete the mission).

Blitz

Eliminate the Mercenary Overlord battleship to trigger the spawn. Watch out for any incoming Mercenary Wingman frigates that web/ scramble.

Eliminate Shadow. Loot the Report dropped and warp out.

The Report is not a specific item. This mission can be completed using any Report sold by NPC Corps on the market.

Optional Approach

Warp in, align, kill Overlord, instantly warp out before scrambles lock on, then warp back at 50-100km, make sure you're outside of cruiser's range. Then aggro and use mwd to separate frigs. Count on webbing if frigs come too close! After this keep aligning of course.

Select "warp-to" distance between 50-100 km, kill all the inital ships but kill the Overlord last then pick off the spawn as they approach.
