Single Pocket

Direct warp into ungated deadspace pocket. Full room aggro on first shot.
There are 2 Ship groups and 2 Tower groups. In an attempt at simplicity, the total numbers of hostiles are combined. (I.e., there are only 12 ships per Ship group and 5 towers per Tower group.)

Ship Group

		WD	EWAR	CollapseL
	4 x Frigate Coreli Guardian Protector
	4 x Cruiser Corelum Chief Infantry
	8 x Battlecruiser Corelatis Wing Leader
	8 x Battleship Core Grand Admiral

Tower Group

		WD	EWAR	CollapseL
	2 x Serpentis Stasis Tower
	8 x Serpentis Heavy Missile Battery

Destroying the non-elite (not Guardian) frigates of that spawn causes a random Shadow Serpentis Battleship to appear which must be killed to complete the mission.
After the frigate spawn, there will be another tower spawn.

Additional Tower Spawn

		WD	EWAR	CollapseL
	2 x Serpentis Stasis Tower
	8 x Serpentis Heavy Missile Battery

Blitz: Shoot the initial frigs and the Maulus frigs that spawn in order to spawn the Shadow Serpentis BS. Kill this BS to trigger completion.

Notes

- This mission is easy to solo and the lack of Neut towers makes it active tank friendly.
- The Shadow Serpentis BS can drop Snake implants and several Shadow Serpentis modules.
- Bounties from the rats are approximately 20 mil.
- The Stronghold takes very long to destroy and does not drop good loot.
