Dread Guristas Fleet Staging Point

This article should be cleaned up or improved.
The reason is: What triggers wave 3 in the second pocket? Or does it spawns at the same time as wave 2, just at a different location?

Walkthrough

On warp-in
The massive amounts of signatures you are getting on your short range scan can only indicate one thing, a full combat fleet in station around the deadspace pocket. The Guristas Pirates would seem to be planning a large scale military operation in the area and you should expect nothing but the heaviest resistance should you try to oppose them here. DED Threat Assessment: Extreme (9 of 10)

This site is fairly hard due to large number of ships and neuting towers. It can be done in a group of T2, T3 or Faction cruisers or a few battleships.

Warping to the site lands you at 0 on an acceleration gate.

First pocket

		WD	EWAR	L

Dread Guristas Fleet Staging Point 2
The last Guristas Pirate Battleship sends out a distress signal before it goes down. Luckily your com systems have managed to decrypt the message and follow it to it's final destination.
