Bliz: Clear the warpin area. In second room destroy the Ringmaster's Pleasure Hub, blow up The Ringmaster, loot his wreck and complete the mission.

Warpin

2 NPC Groups: Group 1 auto aggro, Group 2 remains neutral until attacked. You should attempt clearing group 1 before engaging group 2 as the damps are quite strong. Single damp from Lustadores cruiser will reduce your targeting range by 50%. The area has multiple habitation modules that drop commodities such as "Tourists" and "Long-Limb Roes".
