Habitat holds 3x Drazin Keycard - needed to activate gate to second stage. There are three incase you would need to warp out and back : each gate activation consumes one keycard.

==Asteroids==
There are no more asteroids for mining.

====Pocket 2====
This stage varied quite a bit on the 2 occasions I tried. The Zerak Cheryn version is at 10-20k on warp in & in his Gallente cruiser can be extremely harsh at close range and would be best taken out first if you can tank the two webbing frigates. The Kuran 'Scarface' Lonan version (Caldari based) is at 40-50k on warp in & and is easy to tank.

===Single Group===
20-40km
2x Frigates (Mercenary Wingman) web/scramble
1x Cruiser (Mercenary Lieutenant)
1x Cruiser (Drazin Jaruk/Korrani Salemo (MOA-web)/Kuran 'Scarface' Lonan/Lynk (web)/Zerak Cheryn (ewar invulnerable) (web))
