Single Pocket

The groups will spawn in intervals after you arrive, but it's just a few seconds between each spawn.
The spawns may vary, this is just an example.
Sometimes you may get agro when you warp in, sometimes you don't.
Drones are not attacked by non attacked groups.

Group 1 (23 - 30km)

1x Destroyer (Pithior Terrorist)
3x Battleships (Pith Extinguisher/Destroyer/Exterminator)

Group 2 (30km)

3x Battlecruisers (Pithatis Enforcer)
4x Battleships (Pith Eradicator/Obliterater/Exterminator/Extinguisher)

Group 3 (57 - 80km)

2x Destroyers (Pithior Terrorist)
3x Guristas Spy
1x Battleship (Pith Massacrer/Conquistador)

Blitz
(Read comments) Mission is completed after killing the group with the Spies; attacking them will sometimes draw aggro, but not always.

This is an easy mission to do afk in a drone boat if you want bounties instead of blitzing it.

From Kelsor Starfire:

Doing Gurista Spies Level 4 and the blitz method no longer seems to work. It now aggro's the whole room attacking the spies group straight away. It got very rough, very quickly in my Golem Tech 2 fit. Next time I shall deal with them a group at a time.

I just did this twice in a row, from the same agent, in the same system.

The first run, I warped in, killed the group with the spy's without aggroing anything else and it worked.
The second run, I wapred in and got agro from the group with the spy's and one of the other groups immediately without doing anything.

So both spawns and aggro is random in this mission. Will add that right now so that everyone knows beforehand.

I did it in my nighthawk.
Killed spy group, took all agro, no problem holding tank ( Never passed 60% shield on active tank) Plenty of cap left without cap inj. Returned to agent and delivered mission without killing rest. It still works

When you warp in, wait till everything has spawned, then attack the first group, then the spies, then the last group. I never drew full aggro that way.

I did this mission in my golem with 3 caldari navy ballistic and 1 caldari navy heat
and i only had to turn on my caldari navy xl shield booster 1 time :) for about 15 seconds
-- CallyUk (2008-10-18 13:47:12)
Ran this in Passive shield tank typhoon. No problems.
-- JoshuNine (2008-11-20 01:30:54)
Did this one in my Golem, no problemo!
-- BadIp (2009-01-11 23:59:01)
Completed on Drake (7xHMLt2, 1xInvult2, 1xMagneticT2, 2xHeatDisT2,3xLSEt2,1xBCUt2,2xSPRt2,1xDCt2)
note: do not attack any Spy's -- this will be aggro all. just shot them one-by-one. BTW, Shield never flown less than 70%

-- AlterEgo (2009-04-25 09:57:54)

also no tank issues with a nh either with, 2x pith b type smallbooster, 2x invuln, faction ab as tank
-- ArbiterReformed (2009-10-01 01:43:57)
Flew a T2 fitted Rokh.
Pocket 1: Normal, you get a bunch of agro, so u need to take some of them out.

-- AsCendancy (2009-11-24 23:57:42)
completed easily in a raven, structures dropped no loot, but i didn't destroy the asteroid colony because it has too much EHP

Mission bounties total nearly 7m, guristas loot is guristas loot so don't expect any miracles
-- BossStubs (2009-12-11 10:18:17)
Completed in a classic passive fitted Drake with 150DPS tank. never dropped below 70% Used drones to take out the spies and never caught aggro from the third group.
-- Gunner75 (2010-05-14 23:50:29)
Sentry/Rail Domi. (1x DLA, 1x Omni Link, 2x Magstab)
Wait for EVERYTHING to spawn and settle.
Aggro spies using your guns.
Deploy Wardens. Shoot the crap out of them all. Warp away to the nearest station. Turn in the mission.
Worked like a charm.

Should you get accidental aggro, stay on spies, they die pretty fast, long before anything bad happens to your 5-slot tank.
-- TontoAuri (2010-07-11 00:59:51)
For Blitz it seems like you have to kill the complete third group.
(not sure on the destroyers)
