+
Single pocket with no acceleration gate. When you warp in only Nugoeihuvi Caretaker is present guarding the structure. The rest of the defenders arrive after you approach (100 km) or attack the caretaker.  
−
* The following NPCs will spawn when the facility is closer tan ~125km: 9 Frigates, 4 Cruisers, and 6 Battleships.
+
You can warp inside the pocket including to the target structure but any warp from outside of the pocket will land you to the warpin point making this pocket an oddly behaving deadspace. This allows you to warp around for awesome kiting, and each time you warp you will break all target locks and cause all the inbound torps to miss you.  This method is great for a dedicated sentry drone ship (e.g. Dominix) since each warp breaks their jams so you can relaunch your sentries and assign them to another target before you are jammed again - your drones will continue to attack that target until it is destroyed, at which point you can scoop them, warp to another bookmark, and repeat.)
−
* Cruisers have very strong jams and range > 170km - expect to be nearly perma jammed.
 
−
* Frigates warp scramble (2 warp strength).
 
−
* With one meta 4 ECCM (96%) it is possible to avoid most - but not all - of the jams.
 
−
* Because of the jams F.O.F. missiles might be effective. With good missile skills you can use FOF Cruise missiles from 200k+ which is well out of range from the NPCs.
 
−
* Alternatively, equip a sensor booster to be able to target the jammers from outside their range.
 
−
* You can also bring a friend in a fast frigate to draw their scrams and jams while you take those out.  If the frigate maintains at least 600 m/s then it should be able to self-repair the reduced missile damage, but there is some more-sophisticated AI in this mission so the NPCs may switch targets anyway.
 
−
* Very heavy damage is dealt by the BSs, which fire very long range torps - I had to warp out several times in my Raven.
 
−
* If you warp to the facility at close range and get full room close-range aggro, expect in excess of 4000 pre-resistance DPS, primarily kinetic.
 
−
* You can warp within the mission to structures.  (In fact, since there is no aggression until you start to close the distance to the office facility, you can come in first with a MWD frigate and set up some bookmarks to use during combat. Then you will be able to warp around for awesome kiting, and each time you warp you will break all target locks and cause all the inbound torps to miss you.  This method is great for a dedicated sentry drone ship (e.g. Dominix) since each warp breaks their jams so you can relaunch your sentries and assign them to another target before you are jammed again - your drones will continue to attack that target until it is destroyed, at which point you can scoop them, warp to another bookmark, and repeat.)

−

−

Main article: Penumbra

The Bottom Line is the third and last chapter of Caldari epic arc. The decision you made in first chapter will dictate what missions you are offered in here. If you chose to side with Hyasyoda you will start with mission "The Knowledge to Act", otherwise you will start from mission "A Difference of Opinion".

Single pocket with no acceleration gate. When you warp in only Nugoeihuvi Caretaker is present guarding the structure. The rest of the defenders arrive after you approach (100 km) or attack the caretaker. You can warp inside the pocket including to the target structure but any warp from outside of the pocket will land you to the warpin point making this pocket an oddly behaving deadspace. This allows you to warp around for awesome kiting, and each time you warp you will break all target locks and cause all the inbound torps to miss you. This method is great for a dedicated sentry drone ship (e.g. Dominix) since each warp breaks their jams so you can relaunch your sentries and assign them to another target before you are jammed again - your drones will continue to attack that target until it is destroyed, at which point you can scoop them, warp to another bookmark, and repeat.)

The incoming damage is quite high and if the frigates get close you won't be able to warp away. Jams from cruisers can add extra annoyance to the fight.

Blitz: Kill Caretaker and scram frigs, grab family and warp. Since the pocket allows warping inside you can pull the rats away from the structrure and then warp to the structure when the area is safe.
