Details

Author used a cruiser.
Before you can use the first acceleration gate you need to destroy 8 drones (4 Infester Alvi, 1 Decimator Alvi, 2 Mammon Apis and 1 Sunder Alvi) (a ninth, the Mysterious Drone goes through the gate). Cruiser took no damage. Use acceleration gate.

Author managed to aggro all 14 drones (3 Infester Alvi, 5 Splinter Alvi, 1 Sunder Alvi, 1 Raider Alvi, 2 Silverfish Alvi and 2 Strain Infester Alvi) at once on the way to the second gate. Shields were at about 75% when the last drone was destroyed. You may be able to get smaller groups. Mysterious Drone went through gate again. Use second gate.

Seven drones aggro after a few seconds. The Myserious Drone self destructs. Author did not take additional damage while destroying the six that remained (3 Decimator Alvi, 2 Render Alvi and 1 Wrecker Alvum). Objective complete.
