Mission briefing
Oh, not much, really... er, well, now, wait! Actually, that's not entirely true. In fact, maybe this is something you could help me out with ― I don't know why I didn't think of you sooner.

<Pilot>, an employee of ours, Ashur Ylavun, has been acting a little odd lately; he comes and goes at strange hours and doesn't say where he is going or where he's been, but he often takes company ships and disappears for days at a time. We are lucky if he shows up for meetings, and when he does appear he utters the strangest things, completely inappropriate and ... well, just unsettling. We could deal with it if we thought he was just insane, but we are afraid it's more than that.

You've heard those stories about people taken alive into rogue drone hives? Well, one of Ylavun's co-workers claims he heard the man muttering something about “the hive mother” and “the song of the drones.” We need to be sure that Ylavun has not been ... taken by the drones. We had security look around in his logs and they found this location in <system> that he's visited several times in the past months. It's a dark, nasty part of space, though, and I can't send just anyone: Maybe you can take a look and tell us what you find.

Oh, and if you do find anything remarkable there, I need you to get in close and have a good look before you report back to me.

Single Pocket

  • When you arrive the pocket will be empty with only the Drone Structure at 100km.
  • Drones will start spawning when you close to 60km of the structure. Everything aggros.

Notes

  • Thermal damage is initially higher than Explosive damage until Missile Batteries are destroyed.
  • If you trigger the initial groups and can't handle incoming damage: warp out, then back in. The drones within the Drone Structure will not aggro with the rest of the room because they are too far away.
  • If you can handle the damage, you can put the 50km approach time to use by destroying the Drone Structure and triggering Spawn 4. You can kill several ships by the time you reach the proximity trigger of the main groups.
