Mission briefing

Sure, I've got something. I have terrible news, Hirmuolio Pine. A major personnel convoy carrying countless Amarr Empire members was completely obliterated by Serpentis ships, led by that damned commander of theirs, Xevni Jipon. His reputation as a brutal Serpentis military leader has traveled far and wide these past few years, and it's time to put an end to his miserable existence. I want you to be the bringer of our vengeance, Hirmuolio Pine. Strike him down like the dog he is. When his battleship has been turned to dust, then you shall receive your reward.

You will warp into a large swarm of Hostiles in the first 2 pockets, a MJD is highly recommended to snipe. Groups will aggro Drones, keep a close eye on them.

No Hostiles at initial gate.
