Mission briefing
Pirates have set up a blockade near a hidden stargate in Ivar, and are swarming over any passersby, which are mostly merchants and civilians. Pirates tend to create these temporary blockades at ill-defended stargates, usually ones which have been set up by civilians and are not guarded by our forces. But we still have an obligation to protect the citizens of Odengsolf. Therefore I want you, <character name>, to fly to the stargate and eliminate the illegal blockade.

May [Fleet] warp at preferred distance.
Best to set drones to passive.
Battleship triggers may vary between different instances of the mission and can differ based on pocket composition.
Significant amount of target painting in reinforcements 1 and 3 which will balloon your signature radius to over 5x normal size. Strongly advised to kite and snipe target painting elite frigates and cruisers first if you're running a fit that relies on speed tanking, like a Gila or HAC.
