Mission briefing
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:

Use a target painter to aggro the transport ship. This will cause Wave 1 to spawn, but will NOT cause you to lose any Amarr faction standing. Kill the Imperial Battleship which spawns on the Right Hand side of the room (Should be the Battleship which spawns furthest from you), and the State Battleship which spawns slightly off from the other two - Mission Complete.

WARNING: Killing the stasis tower incurs -2.4% standing loss after the mission, even without killing the transport!
