Mission briefing

A large convoy was spotted in a nearby system, apparently en route straight through Weraroix. 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 Weraroix; 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?

Blitz:
Kill Group 3 (including the Blood Raider Personnel Transport) of pocket 2 and loot the Militants.

1st pocket

Acceleration gate 60 km from warpin. Gate is locked until all enemies destroyed

No aggro on warp in. Proximity aggro on groups 2 & 3 when within 6km of the gate.

Tips:

• Attacking Group 1 OR 3: Aggroes whole pocket.
  
• Attacking Group 2 OR 4: Aggroes Group 1 & 3 only. The last group will remain neutral and can be aggroed separately.
  
  

You can Eiminate both groups 4 and 1 without drawing pocket agro but it gets a bit complicated. you need to fly your ship off to the side putting the station ruins between your ship and groups 1 2 and 3. after your within range eliminate group 4 this will draw group 1 agro. if you wait for a few minuts after destroying group 4 you will notice that group 1 will be stuck in the station ruins unable to get close to you. additionally they will have drifted out of agro range of the other 2 pockets. at this point it should be safe to eliminate group 1 without 2 and 3 agroing you.
