Guarding the Gate

Aggro from all, 20km from warp-in.

5x Frigate (Pithi Plunderer/Wrecker)
2x Frigate (Dire Pithi Arrogator/Imputor) Scram & Web

Pocket 1

No aggro on warp in. Shoot anything and the entire pocket aggros.

Group 1 (~50km)

5x Cruiser (Pithum Annihilator/Mortifier)
1x Battlecruiser (Pithatis Assassin/Assaulter)

Group 2 (60-90km near War Installation)

2-3x Frigate(Pithi Demolisher/Destructor)
2-3x Destroyer (Pithior Guerilla/Renegade)
2x Cruiser (Pithum Abolisher/Eraser)

War installation drops t1 loot. (Takes a fair amount of damage, dropped some ammo, a meta 2 launcher, meta 3 rail)

Pocket 2

Only Group 1 aggros on warp in.

Group 1 (30-40km)

3x Destroyer (Pithior Anarchist/Nihilist)
2x Frigate (Pithi Plunderer/Wrecker)
3x Frigate (Dire Pithi Arrogator/Demolisher/Destructor/Imputor) Arrogator/Imputor Web & Scram

Group 2 (25-40km)

7x Cruisers (Pithum Ascriber/Inferno/Mortifier/Silencer)

Group 3 (50-65km)

3-4x Cruiser (Pithum Inferno/Mortifier)
3-4x Battlecruiser(Pithatis Enforcer/Executor)

It's possible to shoot the groups in the given order without aggroing the other. However shooting group 3 will aggro group 2.

Pocket 3

Pocket 3 appears to be a random addition to this mission, you might get it, you might not. If you do get it, it is required for mission completion

Group 1

Auto Aggros
4x Frigate
3x Destroyer

Group 2

8x Cruisers

Group 3

3x Cruiser
3x Battlecruiser

Blitz
Group 2 not required for completion. Group 3 can be range-aggressed without pulling Group 2 (however you then get drone aggro from Group 2).

Asteroids
35 x Veld, content not measured

Room 3 includes Nullifiers and something (didn't catch what it was but bet it was a frigate) that scrambles.

Corwin is right, in this mission there can be scrambling. Together with jamming it can be a problem in if your tank is not holding.

Shooting the war installation might be time consuming, its got plenty of hitpoints (350k from what I calculated). The loot is just normal t1-stuff, some chance on a named launcher or railgun. I doubt its worth the time and ammo though.
-- VaLTrantor (2008-12-09 14:53:52)
Room 1: had 2 Dire Pithi Inputor's which webbed and scrambled.

Room 2: the group by the gate aggro'd me as I approached the gate and attacking them did not aggro the rest of the room. The rest of the room seemed to aggro when I got within about 10km of the gate.
-- CorwinPendragon (2008-12-11 07:57:49)
as the last sentence states, group 2 can be identified by shooting at the only "Pithum Killer".
worked fine for me, and my assa frig
-- Micha1980de (2009-01-12 15:07:53)
Please post any named drops from the War installation if you get them. I did not get any named items from it.
-- XennDC (2009-01-25 11:47:55)
just looted a sv-2000 assault misslie bay (plus other random trash) from War installation
-- CileniaBitweaver (2009-01-31 00:25:15)
Guarding the Gate: Arrogators were warp scrambling. And the EW Frigates did not jam me once.

Pocket 1: No jamming at all. War Installation drop no named loot.

Pocket 2: Annihilators & killers were jamming, imputers was warp scrambling (Groups 1 & 2).
-- ReLLiK7699 (2009-02-28 11:24:58)
Room 1: Did not get jammed, however the named EW cruisers were at 42km to 45km rather than 50 to 60 km.
-- CoreBreach (2009-05-25 11:42:39)
36 roids/2.8 mil veld around the Pleasure Hub.
1 roid/82k veld about 65km behind the warp in point (about 100km from Pleasure Hub)
-- PcWizrd67 (2009-06-19 13:51:43)
It appears that pocket 3 has been removed (and the mineable asteroids moved to pocket 2)
-- CorwinPendragon (2009-06-28 21:30:15)
Pocket 3 is still there along with the roids.
-- NicCage (2009-07-05 16:21:24)
The two times I have got this mission, pocket three has not shown up. It may be that pocket three now appears as a random addition to the mission if others are still getting it.
-- Dragonwind2007 (2009-07-10 16:08:09)
I've just completed this mission. There were only two pockets.
-- OwlManAtt (2009-07-22 18:54:27)
Completed today. 2 pockets. No named from war installation.
-- TariRedhel (2009-07-26 05:53:51)
i have done this mission in minimatar and caldari space about 6 times now , the last one today and both have only had 2 pockets , the war instalation i have shot down every time and it is not worth the ammo and time
-- MrNastyUK (2009-07-29 05:20:55)
Just finished the mission, and it had a 3rd pocket.
-- BansheeFlyr (2009-07-31 02:52:08)
I only had 2 pockets on this one also.

Veld count = 2,889,993 units.

Pirates make heavy use of Scourge Heavy Missiles and Bloodclaw Light Missiles. Have Kinetic protection to greatly reduce incoming damage. Kinetic damage seems to be the most effective against them.

Pithum Eraser: 76,875
Pithum Inferno: 74,063 (fires Scourge Heavy Missiles)
Pithum Mortifier: 68,438 (fires Bloodclaw Light Missiles)
Pithum Nullifier: 62,813
Pithum Annihilator: 57,188
Pithum Murderer: 51,563
Pithum Killer: 45,938
Dire Pithi Demolisher: 28,125
Dire Pithi Destructor: 27,000
Dire Pithi Imputor: 19,125
Dire Pithi Arrogator: 18,000
Pithi Saboteur: 18,000

-- ShiggyMoto (2009-09-06 17:23:44)
2 pockets for me.. appears to be random indeed
-- KreTark (2009-09-12 04:34:50)
Only the 2 pockets, and although a reasonable amount of loot from the war installation, nothing names from it.
-- TyTilla (2010-01-22 18:30:55)
completed mission several times (20+) and never had the third pocket
-- ThunderClap (2010-04-19 21:35:02)
Had 3 pockets in mine

War did not drop anything named
-- AnaanHolmfriour (2010-05-29 23:02:41)
Only had 2 pockets in mission and War Installation dropped standard loot, :(
-- DeMichaelCrimson (2010-07-27 13:39:34)
Am so mad. half an hour destroying station and it didn't drop anything worth more than 20k isk
-- BeastlyRage (2010-11-25 16:42:33)
I got 6 non-named meta 0 drops from the war installation.
The accel get in pocket 1 always dropped me at least 35km from the gate in pocket 2, making the veld roids too much trouble
-- DoctorNho (2011-01-29 21:58:43)
Did this yesterday and got rooms 1 & 2 as described. Today (after Incarna) got this:

Pocket 1:
Group 1 - 4 Pithi Wreckers
1 Pithi Plunderer
2 Dire Pithi Imputor

Pocket 2:
Group 1 - 3 Pithum Mortifier
Group 2 - 1 Pithum Mortifier
1 Pithum Inferno
1 Pithatis Assaulter
Group 3 - 2 Pithum Eraser
1 Pithi Demolisher
1 Pithum Abolisher
1 Pithi Destructor
2 Pithior Renegade
1 Pithior Guerilla

Not sure about groups. First strike on a Mortifier aggroed entire pocket.

War Installation was in Pocket 2, dropped 2x 100 missiles, small armor rep, small nos & small energy neut, 1 150mm railgun 1. Not worth the effort.

Pocket 3:
Group 1 - 8 Frigates - Auto aggro
Group 2 - 7 Cruisers
Group 3 - 7 Cruisers
Each group aggroed independently
-- AlphonseDimiri (2011-06-22 00:59:05)
In Pocket 3, Group 2 aggroed with Group 3, but was not necessary for completion.
-- SeieiHana (2012-01-31 14:46:12)
Tried this mission today to get standings up for an alt and got Webbed / Scrammed by the gate guards.
-- TaraStargazer (2012-08-26 02:22:32)
Veldspar field seems to be circa 8000m3 per asteroid, total field estimate 280K m3 or 2.8mil units of veldspar
-- WokkyNz (2013-09-17 06:01:00)
No jamming. Not too bad in a Harbinger with T2 tank, but had to warp out once. 1.4M salvage, 1.8M loot.
-- MohamXiang (2014-05-12 01:42:31)
**Guristas Brass Tag** dropped in second pocket. Worth around 11 Mil ISK. 2 pockets only, very much as reported above.
-- SetYeva (2014-09-08 15:55:40)
This was ok in a T1.5 Myri with T1 drones. Loot very poor <300K
-- AribethThiesant (2015-02-08 19:02:54)
Cruisers and Battlecruisers hold at 35km when aggroed at you.
