ACT 2 MISSION 6
Description: GTVA wings and a GTVI Task Force investigate a pirate base distress call.
Background
A mercenary base, the Event Horizon, has sent a distress call. As much as mercenaries may not be trusted in the Tau Sigma sector, Alpha and Beta Wings are tasked to assist like any other distress call. GTVI crews are tasked with evacuating the station as the staff claim to have valuable information.
The distress call indicates the attackers are not normal pirates...
Walkthrough
- Available ships: Hercules Mark II, Perseus, Myrmidon.
Your starting friendly assets are Alpha (4 ships, the same story wingmen), Beta (3 disposable ships), and Hook (three Myrmidon fighters with fixed loadouts). Bring some Maxim Cannons and/or Trebuchets.
Don't worry about the Leviathan in the first minute of the mission, it is doomed. Tell your team mates to defend the Event Horizon while you scan the Charybdis in the area. After you scan it and find out a plot-important revelation, destroy it. Take out all the enemy Persei and Erinyes you see.
Eventually, the Argo-class transport Swiftsure will arrive on the scene. Tell Alpha Wing to defend it, and you will encounter at most half a dozen Ares fighters. Destroy them before they can damage the Swiftsure.
While the Swiftsure docks with the Event Horizon, be prepared to deal with multiple waves of Artemis and Boanerges bombers.
After the Swiftsure has finished loading the evacuees from the Event Horizon, the Aeolus-class cruiser Hephaestus will show up. The Cypher will be deployed on the scene, so keep your distance and deal with either the bombers or any fighters still harassing the Swiftsure.
When the Swiftsure is near their exit point, the Orion-class destroyer Auriga will show up and wreak havoc on the Cypher and the station. The Cypher will take off, and you will have the order to leave the base.
