Mission briefing

We can’t go after Vitamala directly. Even though he doesn’t really have a clue about what he’s doing, he’s too well-connected to displace without good reason. I'd expect this sort of thing from the Gallente, but not in the State. A man achieves rank because of his hard work and dedication, not because his father has friends in the bureaucracy. There is another commander I can reassign. The first difficulty is in freeing up his schedule. He’s currently on deployment in a nearby system, busy dealing with a mercenary force we believe to be funded by Guristas Pirates. If you can take out all of the Guristas ships, then I can arrange to have him reassigned to the drone problem. --- The Guristas Pirates have been a thorn in the side of the Caldari State for many years, constantly threatening the security of outlying systems and poorly defended convoys. The Guristas tend to shy away from prolonged and overt assaults, preferring instead to take down weaker prey during opportunistic raids.

Objective
Kill the mercenaries protecting the Guristas facility, then report back to Immuri Asaka - Location: 0.9 Hatakani

Notes
This mission is about as simple as they get. You will warp in at 33km from three Pithi Infiltrator frigates. Kill them, then return to the Asaka's station to complete the mission.

Agent Asaka will then report to you: I’m pleased to inform you that everything went smoothly with the transfer. One of the first things our new commander did was to request frigate and cruiser backup for his fleet. They should be capable of defending themselves if the drones try to fight their way out.
