Blitz:
Pocket 1: Kill everything
Pocket 2: Only the ships in the group with the Transports needs to be destroyed to complete the objective (don't forget to loot the 10 Militants).
Optional Approach:
I've kited this in an armor tanked Kronos without ever getting into armor. All you need in both pockets is an AB to keep out of their range (70km), fit accordingly.
I've sniped from the warp-in beacon in a Dominix with Bouncer II, starting with closest Hostile (group 2 was closer) only got to 75% Shield.
In the 2nd pocket on the other hand, the hostiles close in fast, either burn off or Micro Jump when the heat gets too intense.
Structure:
No loot.
Loot and Bounty:
Loot + Salvage: [6.6 to 8.7 mil]
Bounty: 7.4 mil
