Initial warp in to within 30 km of an Acceleration Gate, no NPC's; use gate to enter Pocket 1.

Pocket 1

Initially there are 5x Container ('Amarr Battleship Wreckage') - Each contains one 'Metal Scraps' and tractor beams do not work on them

Group 1 (Aggro)

4x Frigates (Republic Takan / Republic Baldur)
3x Battleships (Republic Tribal Ymir)

Spawn:
Triggered by destruction of the last ship of Group 1

4x Battlecruisers (Republic Venis)
4x Battleships (Republic Tribal Ymir / Republic Tribal Sigur)

Destruction of Spawn triggers the appearance of a 6th Container, this one called also 'Amarr Battleship Wreckage', but with a different type 'Amarrian Battleship Wreck'. Either use the type or just ignore the other containers to find that 6th container which holds the gate key (an 'Acceleration Gate Authentication Matrix') needed to get to Pocket 2.

Group 1

3x Frigates (Republic Takan / Republic Baldur)
3x Battleships (Republic Tribal Jarl)

Spawn 1:
Triggered by destruction of last battleship in Group 1, appearing at close range

3x Battlecruisers (Republic Tribal Venis)
3x Battleships (Republic Tribal Jarl / Republic Tribal Jotun)

Spawn 2:
Triggered by destruction of last battleship in Spawn 1, appearing at 30k

4x Battlecruisers (Republic Tribal Norn / Republic Tribal Nutia)
3x Battleships (Republic Tribal Jotun / Republic Tribal Sigur)

Spawn 3:
Triggered by shooting any of the battleships of Spawn 2 In contrast to other spawns agresses drones

1x Battleship ' The Mercenary' (Mordus Mammoth)

Killing the Mercenaries completes the mission.

Blitz

Pocket 1 can not be blitzed as the container with the key is triggered by the last ship's destruction. Pocket 2 can hardly be blitzed as you have to remove two spawns to be able to trigger the mission objective.

See my comments for further info (below).
