Mission briefing

Sure, I've got something. I have terrible news, Hirmuolio Pine. A major personnel convoy carrying countless Amarr Empire members was completely obliterated by Serpentis ships, led by that damned commander of theirs, Xevni Jipon. His reputation as a brutal Serpentis military leader has traveled far and wide these past few years, and it's time to put an end to his miserable existence. I want you to be the bringer of our vengeance, Hirmuolio Pine. Strike him down like the dog he is. When his battleship has been turned to dust, then you shall receive your reward.

You will warp into a large swarm of Hostiles in the first 2 pockets, a MJD is highly recommended to snipe. Groups will aggro Drones, keep a close eye on them.

Tip:

• Xevni Jipon is weak against thermal damage but has high resistances against kinetic and is immune to EW.
• Be careful not to get stuck on the gate and asteroids in the 1st pocket.

Blitz:

• 1st and 2nd pocket: destroy all ships to unlock the gates.
• 3rd pocket: destroy the 3rd group (All ships by the station. Tagging these ships makes it easier). No other kills are needed to complete the mission.

No Hostiles at initial gate.
