Mission briefing

Yes, I think you are. Listen, our miners have just reported a bunch of rogue drones in the system. Between them and the damned ore thieves, I'm almost ready to give up. They're worse than Gallentean greenroaches – if we don't show them that they're not welcome here, we'll be up to our eyeballs. And I can't send my guys out there if I know they might be in danger. No, we need a capsuleer on this job, someone capable of defending a ship and mining at the same time. I've bookmarked a mining site for you. Go on out there and, if you see any drones, take 'em out. Be caref— well, I don't need to tell an experienced starship captain like you. You know the risks. Then mine whatever Banidine you find out there so I can find out what the damn things are so interested in.

Banidine and Scanners
Most people don't go looking for Banidine: It's virtually worthless, so you won't find it on the market. In space, you may want to fit a survey scanner module to find the desired asteroids. If you don't have one already, you can purchase one on the market; they're located under Ship Equipment Electronics and Sensor Upgrades Data and Composition Scanners.

The Drones are not always there. When they are, they are there when you warp-in.
