Single pocket with no acceleration gate. When you warp in only Nugoeihuvi Caretaker is present guarding the structure. The rest of the defenders arrive after you approach (100 km) or attack the caretaker.
The mission takes place in single ungated semi-deadspace. Warping from outside always lands you to the warpin point but you can warp freely inside the pocket. This allows you to warp around for awesome kiting, and each time you warp you will break all target locks and cause all the inbound torps to miss you. This method is great for a dedicated sentry drone ship (e.g. Dominix) since each warp breaks their jams so you can relaunch your sentries and assign them to another target before you are jammed again - your drones will continue to attack that target until it is destroyed, at which point you can scoop them, warp to another bookmark, and repeat.)
The incoming damage is quite high and if the frigates get close you won't be able to warp away. Jams from cruisers can add extra annoyance to the fight.
Blitz: Create bounce bookmark as you land from warp. Kill Caretaker and scram frigs, grab family and warp. Since the pocket allows warping inside you can pull the rats away from the structrure and then warp to the structure when the area is safe.
