Hints
Attacking the missile batteries will aggro the whole pocket. When you attack the left group, one of the CM battery will open fire on you, do not engage it!
Don't forget to destroy the manufacturing plant (which drops 100 units of Garbage)!
It's doable with low (40%) EM resist as long as you have a good buffer, the first battleship dies relatively fast.
It is recommended that you bring a salvager to this mission as the tags + salvage actually makes up a large amount of the mission's profit.
If you cannot deal with the ships in the pocket, fit a sniping fit and shoot at the plant from 150 KM+, the ECM should not hit you at all, and if they become an issue simply snipe them first and kite around.
