Pocket 1
Blitz: The gates are not locked, so you can blitz this mission in a shuttle without a single kill. Go to warp gate, activate it, when you reach the next pocket you are done!
-OR-
Clear: In general, keep moving either towards the other gate or towards a distant object. Every minute, another group will respawn. If you are not killing them fast enough, you can get overwhelmed. There are a couple scramble possibilities, and most of them do damage from a distance (36km). Once they all spawn, it can make things rather difficult for a weakly tanked ship. So be careful.

The Gist Throne battleships inflict very high EM damage, but only at short distances. If you decide to clear the pocket, kill these first while flying away from them.
