==Blitz ==
Pocket 1: Kill everything
Pocket 2: Only the ships in the group with the Transports needs to be destroyed to complete the objective (don't forget to loot the 10 Militants).

==Optional Approach==
I've kited this in an armor tanked Kronos without ever getting into armor. All you need in both pockets is an AB to keep out of their range (~70km), fit accordingly.
I've sniped from the warp-in beacon in a Dominix with Bouncer II, starting with closest Hostile (group 2 was closer) only got to 75% Shield.
In the 2nd pocket on the other hand, the hostiles close in fast, either burn off or Micro Jump when the heat gets too intense.

==Structure==
No loot.

==Loot and Bounty==
Loot + Salvage: [[http://evepraisal.com/e/15884441 | ~6.6 to 8.7 mil]]
Bounty: ~7.4 mil
