Initial Group:
Contact’s ship is present at Warp-In at 15km away. But 20 seconds later you are notified in Local that, Oh sh--, “It’s a Trap!” The Contact's ship vanishes and instead a Caldari Fleet uncloaks near the same spot. Ships are 25-40km to the right of Warp-In

5 x Battleships (State Shukuro Nagashin) orbits at 68km **Objective Complete**

• • Caution:** The Nagashins will quickly move out to 68km and do a LOT of dps! Make sure you are tanked or have a logistics ships. 5 of them do over 1500 dps after resists.

Tips:
- Use a Passive Tank or plan a capacitor that receives an additional 120 units/s
- Maximum damage dealing of initial group is 1814 hp/s (EM 58%, Therm 42%)
- Do __not__ shoot Missile Batteries first (unless you can tank over 4000 hp/s...)
- Mission totals 33 Battleships, 16 Battlecruisers, 3 Cruisers, 6 Frigates
- Mission flagged complete when all "Battery 2 (Left)" spawns are destroyed
