Faction: Mercenaries
Mission type: Encounter
Space type: Normal (bookmark works)
Damage dealt: All kinds.
Web/scramble: Mercenary Wingman, Zerak Cheryn
Recommended damage dealing: Thermal
Recommended ships: Onyx
This is a hybrid mission, meaning you will warp to a beacon, but there's no deadspace affecting your mwd, nor will there be a gate.
Single Pocket
Single Group
Aggro from entire group from warp-in point.
2x Frigate (Mercenary Wingman)
2x Frigate (Mercenary Elite Fighter)
1x Cruiser (Mercenary Lieutenant)
1x Cruiser (Ytari Niaga, Zerak Cheryn or Kuran "Scarface" Lonan)
The last rat killed will drop 1 unit of Special Delivery that is required to be brought back to agent to complete the mission. None of the NPCs in the entire mission respawn.
The beacon is 15km from the group of rats, meaning you can try to warp in at 100km getting some distance. But the rats are very fast, and will swarm you in a few seconds.
Note: Cruiser (Ytari Niaga, Zerak Cheryn or Kuran "Scarface" Lonan) have a small chance to drop fraction module ( Dread Guristas Co-Processor from Ytari Niaga) or implant
Structures
The Casino will drop 20 units each of two random types of commodity or perhaps tourists.ISK
Bounty : ~270,000 ISKLoot : ~327,000 ISK (EVE estimated, salvage included)
Standing
2.4% standing penalty with opposing faction to agent.Mining

Not know if this is sort of info info you want but on covering of tracks lvl 3 Ytari Niagra dropped a dread gurista's kinetic deflection amp, only the once i done it out of i guess 10 times.
''Hardwiring - Zainou 'Deadeye' ZMS100' - 3%bonus to Explosion Velocity.
^25m in Amarr
Casino Dropped:
20 - Spiced Wine
20 - Tourists
Nice... Drunk Tourists... What I Always Wanted.
Easy Mission, Took down 55% of my shields and it was over (i'm armor tank)
Also... A Cruiser can do this mission with little/no Issue with proper Tank..
Onyx = OVERKILL
''Hardwiring - Zainou 'Deadeye' ZMC100' - 3% bonus to missile flight time.
From the casino I got long limbed roe and spirits = drunk fish.
Nothing of value dropped.
Resulted in standing changes of:
Minmatar +3.8131% mission completed
Gallente +3.2154% derived modification
Caldari -0.8574% derived
Amarr -1.9351% derived
it is worth knowing that the standing loss is huge:
-9.78% against the corp
-3.15% against the corp faction (Minmatar)
-2.95% against the associated faction (Gallente)
Dunno what rat, I assume the named one.
Thukker Tribe +5.5407% derived.
Minmatar +1.2783% derived.
Gallente -0.3396% derived.
Caldari -0.6266% derived.
Amarr -1.579% derived.
Ran it with an L3 Distribution Agent.
Tried it in a CN Hookbill (with a low skilled toon). Had to switch to a better toon with a T3 destroyer (Jackdaw) and he almost had problems.
The 2 Mercenary Wingman both web and seem to have large shield tanks (or strong Kinetic resists) but the 2 "Elite" Fighter frigs are easy to kill. The 2 cruisers also died quicker than the 2 webbing frigs !
I was using T2 Scourge Furies as I didn't have any thermal missiles and couldn't be bothered shopping for them just for this mission (which I thought would be a little easier, especially for a L2).
The named rat dropped a -703 implant worth around 23.5 mil isk.
