Room 1: 3 groups of Frigates, Cruisers, BattleCruisers and Battleships (like some level 4's) They don't all agress when you warp in so you might have to get their attention. The frigates scram and web you.
Room 2: Several Frigates, Cruisers, BattleCruisers and Battleships (possible faction spawn 8+ Million) The frigates scram and web you. Once all are dead focus on station, nothings spawns when shooting station.
Expedition after Shadow kill/Destruction of the Station:
As the bits and pieces from the disintegrated station charge into space, carrying the news of heightened entropy in the universe, your instruments receive an unusual message. It obviously is being transmitted from a Serpentis ship and even though the person on the other end does not introduce himself as such, there is no doubt that this is the pompous accent of a Serpentis topcat. He demands talking in a closed channel and after you have established one, he continues with some congratulations on your brave victory and then he gives you an offer; If you go to three different locations he provides, assassin the Serpentis leaders operating there and gather all loot you find for him, he will pay you one billion ISK. He then gives you coordinates to a location in a "take it or leave it" manner, before saying farewell and adds that he will contact you after this first target is destroyed.
Escalation 1
On Warp In you hit an Newly Constructed Gate with
5 Battleships, one maybe a Shadow Serpentis Rat 4 BattleCruisers
Upon warping through the gate you might get the next escalation.
Escalation 2
You warp in next to a massive rock where there are a collection of Frigates, Cruisers and BattleCruisers with the potential of getting a Shadow Serpentis Battleship Rat.
Upon killing the Shadow Serpentis Rat you should recieve the next escalation.
Escalation 3
Initial warp-in puts you about 30km from the collection of Frigate, Cruisers, BattleCruisers and a few Battleships, one of which may be a Shadow Serpentis Rat.
Upon killing the last cruiser you might receive the last and final escalation.
Final Escalation
The "Warp To Location" from your journal will warp you to an Accelaration Gate. Once you warp in through the first gate you warp in around 30km from another gate with several rats in the first room. You will have 1 Battleship and a few frigates and cruisers to kill before you can enter the next room. The second room will have 4 Battleships and one of them will be a Shadow Grand Admiral, however this is not a Shadow Serpentis rat but an Overseer Rat. When you kill this you will have completed the plex and in the wreck you will hopefully have some Core A-Type Loot. The rest of the room contains several Frigates, Cruisers and BattleCruisers which you do not need to kill but helps in getting that little bit more isk.
I used a Passive Shield Tanked Ishtar with a Basilisk and a DPS Drake to clear the plexes quickly.
Solo'd every stage in active tanked nighthawk.
