==Blitz==
When the Core Lord Admiral is killed, the mission is complete. Shooting the triggers first to blitz the mission is possible, but not recommended due to very high incoming damage.

== Tip ==
For Missile Folks a good supply of F.O.F may work well while dampened.

== Structures ==
No Loot from Structures.

== Loot and Bounty ==
Loot + Salvage: [[http://evepraisal.com/e/15868918 | ~16.5 mil]]
Bounty: ~18- 22.5 mil

==Additional Info==
Although rare, there could be a Shadow Serpentis Battleship along with the final spawn, with the usual chance for faction items drop and higher bounty.
