Pocket 1

Auto aggro from Spawn 1 after several seconds. __New spawns will appear at an interval between 60-90 secs__. These spawns will start from the three Shipyard structures, each about 20-30km from the warp-in point.

• • Structures** drop no loot.

Drones will get aggroed by the later spawns, so retrieve/deploy them as necessary to avoid damage.

__**Warning**__ - Once Spawn 1 has been initiated, the Shipyards will keep spawning ships regardless of your location. If you had warped out, there will be a full gang waiting when next you warp-in.
- The full gang's DPS estimate is 900-1100dps.
- The loot from the battleships is generally rather good (usually about 2m/each).

1x Elite Cruiser (Elder Corpum Dark Priest/Shadow Sage) NOS
1x Battlecruiser (Corpior Phantom)
1x Battleship (Corpus Pope/Patriarch)

Tip:

- You do not need to kill any hostile ships in this pocket. The warp gate is unlocked and sits about 24km from the warp-in point.
- You can use any fast frigate/cruiser (over 500m/s) to evasively tank Spawn 1 and quickly cover the distance to warp off through the gate.
- Mission is flagged completed once you have activated the gate and warped into Pocket 2.
