All sleepers will auto aggress; Sleepers will switch targets, drones and support ships are not immune.

Astrophysicists studying Sleeper sites have noted that some Sleeper structures are still operational – and by design, no less. Outposts run basic life support systems, engineering stations buzz with running motors, and stations glimmer with light, energy, and mundane activity. No known reason exists for this persistent operation, but a few clues emerge.

This cluster of thermoelectric converters is common around large solar bodies, supposedly for collecting radiation and storing energy for use throughout Sleeper colonies: a persistent generator for a dead race. Even to this day, this structure is operational, although how it distributes its energy and for what purpose is still unknown.

This pocket can be easily run solo by a medium/well tanked Drake. Unless of course someone comes in and kills the Emergent Preserver and then the Emergent Upholder first. Then you need a REALLY WELL tanked Drake with at least an Improved Passive Shield Tanking Certification.

On the last wave I got the 2 BS + 2 Awakened Defender (cruiser). The Sleepless Defender DID web me but only sometimes and he stuck around 20k

The Emergent Upholders in the first wave did RR the other sleeper ships.

The first pocket sometimes spawns 1 Sleepless Defender too.

It seems as though if a BS spawns in the initial group, only to Awakened Defenders will spawn in the first wave.

Killing the frigate first on the first wave as a panic reacion is a REALLY bad idea unless your tank is nuts.
