Faction: Gallente Federation
Mission type: Encounter
Space type: Deadspace
Damage dealt: Therm/Kin/EM
Web/scramble: Elite Federation Lochos/Lixa
Reccomended damage dealing: Therm/Kin
Completed in: Armageddon, Dominix, Raven, Pilgrim, Drake, Tengu

Warp in

Aggro from 7 Frigates

7x Frigates (Gallente Navy Officer/Gallente Navy Delta I Support Frigate)

Pocket 1


The trigger ships will spawn the next wave the moment they are attacked, not (as usual) when they are destroyed. Consider setting your drones to passive to avoid being overwhelmed.


4x Scordite - 25k units
25x Veldspar - 50k units

Spawn 1

Aggro from 1x BS, 4x cruisers and 5x Frigates on warp in (30-40km)

1x Battleship (Federation Covinus/Navis Longa)
4x Cruisers (Federation Praktor Centurion/Legionarius)
4x Frigates (Federation Praktor Harpago/Belos)
1x Elite Frigate (Elite Federation Lixa/Lochos) (Web/Scram) (Trigger)

Spawn 2

All aggro when spawned at about 15-40km from beacon

2x Battleships (Federation Covinus)
3x Battlecruisers (Federation Pezos)
3x Destroyers (Federation Matara/Machaira)
1x Frigate (Elite Federation Lixa/Lochos) (Web/Scram) (Trigger)

Spawn 3

Aggro from a random number of ships when spawned (15-40km)

3x Battleships (Federation Navis Longa/Covinus)
2x Battlecruisers (Federation Calo/Praeco)
2x Destroyers (Federation Matara)
1x Elite Frigate (Elite Federation Lixa) (Web/Scram) (Trigger)

Spawn 4


2x Battleships (Federation Covinus/Navis Longa/Praktor Navis Praetoria)
2x Elite Cruisers (Elite Federation Calo/Bearcus) (Sensor Dampening)
2x Destroyers (Federation Pelekus/Arcus)
1x Elite Frigate (Elite Federation Lixa) (Web/Scram)

Pocket 2


3 groups, warp-in aggro from one random group, no linked aggro. Moving too close to one group will aggro it.
The following ships are not necessarily divided by type into groups. E.g. on warp-in one group will aggro, but this group can consist of 3x Gallente Navy Megathron. Not all 7x Megathron will aggro on warp-in.
Drones are not attacked by non attacked groups.
Bunkers may drop loot.

Group 1

3x Battleships (Gallente Navy Megathron)

Group 2

4x Battleships (Gallente Navy Megathron)

Group 3

3x Battleships (Gallente Navy Orion)
3x Elite Frigates (Federation Navy Orion's Wingman)

From McEivalley:

Pocket 1
1st wave: Sometimes the trigger is an Elite Federation Lochos or the Harpago (also a frig) - I'm not sure about the Lixa but the Lochos scramms.
-- ChepeNolon (2008-05-25 17:05:12)
4 T2 hardeners (Kin/Therm) on a Raven worked very well with a Large Shield Booster and 3 BCS on low.
-- TomSchlong (2008-06-12 22:19:21)
Thermal damage against the Orions in Pocket 2 is significantly better than kinetic, the rest of the mission I was fine w/ Kinetic damage. Also my drones did not draw aggro from other groups in Pocket 2.
-- ZiggySmalls (2008-06-20 17:22:08)
I just completed this mission but in the first pocket I had 4 spawns not just the three, has this happened to anyone else?
-- JoshWilliamson (2008-07-06 15:12:54)
beg to differ with ziggy... navy orion's therm resist on shield/armor is 20/50 and kin resists are 40/80, so therm is clearly better. maybe you got a wacked spawn, but in general stick with therm.
-- BoomShaka (2008-07-09 15:11:00)
also agree with ChepeNolon, i shot a lochos and got spawn 2 immediately, best to just leave frigs for last, no drones
-- BoomShaka (2008-07-09 15:24:42)
Ran this mission solo in a Drake, all T1/Named fittings. The only part that gave me trouble was the 'throns with their defender missiles when they got out to their range. Just keep drones on passive and kill everything before the frigs and there's no problem.
-- FadeXaran (2008-07-22 16:41:19)
today had 4 spawns in pocket 1
-- GrantaviusFowler (2008-08-14 16:22:35)
Confirming what JoshWilliamson and GrantaviusFowler says. I got 4 spawns as well. But the spawn triggers were the same as mentioned in the guide.

2nd Pocket, atacking structure aggros all enemies
It also would appear that re-warp resets aggro for all enemies
-- RyuzakiLawliet (2008-11-30 19:13:55)
Pocket 1 also has several asteroids:
2x Omber - 50k ?
4x Scordite - 25k
25x Veldspar - 50k
-- XentaraVispari (2008-12-29 18:31:40)
Bunkers in Pocket 2 drop ammo and Cap boosters
-- LynXeR (2009-01-10 15:48:35)
the 2 omber roids are 90k each
-- LynXeR (2009-01-10 15:58:29)
Completed using Dominix and Armageddon (on separate occasions), if you want to add that to the list feel free...
-- Peon155 (2009-01-17 09:36:39)
Just as a point of advice, you can pretty much run this mission like a Gallente Navy version of Blockade. Only unlike Blockade, the trigger is always clear - the scrambling frigate.

So kill wave, then trigger, rinse repeat you're done.
-- ForteEXE (2009-04-04 18:04:47)
pretty much afkayd in an ishtar, pulled full agro from all 3 spawns in first room and after killin all frigs pulled ogres and switched to my salvaging char, they never got close to breaking my tank

1 mar, 2 therm, 1 ken hards all t2, 1600 rt
-- ArbiterReformed (2009-10-08 02:14:16)
Mission + Loot + Salvage = ~30mill
Time to complete and salvage= 2 hours

ISK/Hour = 15mill/h


I love this mission chain just based on the isk they give out
-- StrykeZor (2009-11-15 09:15:18)
Mission + Loot + Salvage = 1 hour 5 minutes in Golem

10 Bunkers, 2 Bunkers dropped 100 units ea of M Ammo and 10 Cap Booster 100's
All other Structures dropped nothing

Spectacular Explosions for Control Towers and Customs Ship Scanning Station

Blitz info: the megathrons in pocket 2 do not need to be destroyed
-- SmurfityBob (2010-03-12 04:10:51)
Completed in Tengu (2x Invul II, 1x DG Photon Scattering, 1x Pith B-Type LSB, 1x DG SBA)
-- DavidCarel (2010-06-21 10:29:55)
Completed in about 20 mins using a drake+raven + 20 mins loot+salvage in a noctis neted 39.9mill isk loot+salvage +bout 3mill mission rewar+bonus.
Raven pilot is my main pve/pvp char the drake pilot has below average fighting skills so i wud say actually pretty nice isk done
-- LizoDanska (2011-01-24 17:28:40)
"Blitz info: the megathrons in pocket 2 do not need to be destroyed"
