Or
5x Cruiser (Pithum Silencer)

4x Battleship (Pith Eliminator/ Pith Extinguisher) Heavy Jamming (Eliminator)Or
3x Battleship (Core Flotilla Admiral/ Core Vice Admiral) Heavy Sensor Dampening

1x Battlecruiser (Anire Scarlet) Heavy EM/Thermal1x Angel Heavy Missile Battery

1x Serpentis Cruise Missile Battery Heavy Thermal
Group 3 (Auto-aggro, 100km)
4x Battlecruiser (Corelatis Squad Leader/ Wing Leader)4x Battleship (Core Baron/ Commodore)
Despite Anire Scarlet's 5 million ISK bounty and being mission completion trigger, she is no better tanked than any Battlecruiser and is very easy to kill. May drop up to 2 T1 modules.
Last ship killed spawns the next group. Again, spawns may target drones. Keep close watch on them, they tend to go after the Sentry Towers if set to aggressive.
Spawn 1 (80- 105km above Scarlet's Sation)
4x Battleship (Corpus Oracle/ Apostle)Or
4x Battleship (Core Port Admiral/Rear Admiral)
If Group 1 contains Guristas you will get Blood Raider, if Angels then you will get Serpentis.
Spawn 2 (95 - 105km)
5 x Battleship (Corpus Cardinal/ Patriarch)Or
5 x Battleship (Core Grand Admiral/ High Admiral)
Spawn's types will match those received in Spawn 1. Spawn 2 does a ton of incoming damage (compared to all previous spawns in this mission), so be full on cap and hp before triggering it.
In my version spawn 2 was so far away (102- 108km) that I sniped most of the ships before they could cause much damage.
Final notes: It appears there is either two or more specific versions of the race combinations for this mission. One person reports a primary mixture of Blood Raider and Guristas, while I mostly encountered Serpentis and Guristas (never saw a Blood Raider). While I tried to add his non-detailed findings to this page, most of this applies to the version I received. While this mission can be done solo in a Drake (this is what I used) or a Scorpion Navy Issue (used by Roper), be prepared to omni tank and bring along omni damage if you can; you will be fighting a mixture of Angel, Blood Raider, Gurista, and Serpentis.
Structures
Scarlet's Station is extremely well-tanked (~500,000 HP) and has at least a chance to drop ammo (not worth the time).Blitz
You will get this mission a lot. Make sure you always keep one Gate Key for future use; it will not be consumed. Pocket 1 is the only locked gate.My advice is to use an afterburner, gun through each pocket, and pop maybe one high value BS per pocket. Pop Anire in the last pocket for 5mil, and head home. That's 10-11mil for maybe 15 minutes' work.
Mining
8 Veldspar asteroids in pocket 1Loot and Bounty
Loot +Salvage: ~16 milBounty: ~29.7 Mil
