Mission briefing

We’ve been working tirelessly over all the intelligence you delivered to me. A lot of it we already knew, but after some cross analysis, we discovered that there was a particular location that only Lieutenant Kirus and a few others had access to. Kirus caved when he saw that we knew the coordinates to his employer’s hideout. This guy’s alias is Izia Tabar. He's a battle-hardened smuggler baron; CONCORD’s wanted him for a long time now. We have his location, Capsuleer. Can we rely on you to end this? I’d expect his place to be well defended, but if we lose him now it all counts for nothing.

Objective
Assassinate Izia Tabar located within the Hek system.

Notes

(Update 6/10/2020: The below note about both waves spawning may no longer be accurate. In three runs today, the second wave did not spawn until first wave was eliminated.)

Warp into the encounter. Be cautious. At first, you will see a pack of five Mercenary Rookie ships in about 20km distance. Engaging them will cause the second pack of five Mercenary Rookie ships to show up. 10 ships all locking onto you will soon melt your shields. It was manageable with my active armour tanking Rifter. After all 10 ships are destroyed the named ship Izia Tabar will spawn. That is your mission target. Izia Tabar is harder to kill (shield tanking?) and very fast. Kill and you will have completed the mission.

On turn in Keita Eslin says: "You have done exceptionally well, XXX. Our teams will head over to Tabar’s compound now and comb the area for further evidence. Get back to me when you are ready for one last assignment. It is about time the Minmatar repaid you for all you’ve done, and I have some information about how we can make that happen."
