Mission briefing
A large convoy was spotted in a nearby system, apparently en route straight through <System>. This is a perfect chance for you to show us what you're worth. This convoy comes with a large escort, so you better go out there prepared. I want you to intercept the convoy after it makes the jump into <System>; Destroy the ships if they don't surrender their goods, and bring anything you can salvage back to me. I'll split the loot. Sounds fair eh?

Optional Approach:
I've kited this in an armor tanked Kronos without ever getting into armor. All you need in both pockets is an AB to keep out of their range (70km), fit accordingly. I've sniped from the warp-in beacon in a Dominix with Bouncer II, starting with closest Hostile (group 2 was closer) only got to 75% Shield. In the 2nd pocket on the other hand, the hostiles close in fast, either burn off or Micro Jump when the heat gets too intense.

Blitz:
Pocket 1: Kill everything
Pocket 2: Only the ships in the group with the Transports needs to be destroyed to complete the objective (don't forget to loot the 10 Militants).

1st pocket

Acceleration gate is 28km away from warp in. Gate is locked until all ships have been destroyed.
