Mission briefing

For you, my friend, there's always something. One of our patrol teams noticed a suspicious looking craft on its system scanner. I'd like you to investigate the matter. If the craft is hostile, destroy it. Report back to me with your findings. I'll supply you with a bookmark to its approximate location, just be wary of any other hostile activity in the area. I expect a swift return <character name>.

Blitz: Trigger wave 3 by killing the battleship Republic Sigur 100ish KM away from warp in. In wave 3 kill the battleship Federation Xenan that is not part of the main group on spawn ie. the one not next to the web battery.

Notes: The pocket is semi-deadspace. You can use this to ping to an on grid bookmark to get in range of the final battleship. If blitzed the standing loss seems to be limited to -0.002% towards Minmatar for destroying the Republic Sigur.
