Single ungated pocket. You must loot a datacore from each of the three science vessels and destroy all rogue drones. There are two initial groups of NPCs which aggro right away. The other NPCs are triggered, when you get close to the science vessels.

Blitz: You must destroy all NPCs, so there is no blitz.

Note: Science vessels can be looted (not salvaged) but cannot be tractored.

Drone Bounties: Battleship class drones have bounties floating just under 1mil (881k to 993k isk).

Total Bounties: About 16M ISK (23rd of March 2021).

Loot: Drone rats don't drop any loot, salvaging all the ships is worth about 1.5M ISK. Each can contains a janitor and three scientists in addition to the mission drop.

Noteworthy: This mission gave a standings gain of 2.25 for the corporation I was doing it for (Core Complexion) and a derived gain of 0.9 for the major faction (Minmatar Republic) at Social IV.
