ACT 1 - MISSION 14
Fighter squadron: 74th Templars
Description: Investigate a potential engagement between Shivans and Earth Alliance forces near the Laramis Jump Node sector of Ross 128.
Background
Alpha, Beta and Gamma wings are to investigate a distress signal from the Earth Alliance forces in Ross 128 engaging Shivan forces near the Laramis Jump Node. If necessary, the wings are to engage forces from either side.
Should circumstances allow, the corvettes Mako and Punishment are to deploy near the node to provide long-range support.
Walkthrough
You have three three-ship wings: by default, Alpha consists of Rheas, Beta consists of Hercules Mark III fighters and Gamma consist of Advanced Artemi.
Start by destroying the Rakshasa-class Kukudh and Rama wing (five Scorpions). After that, stand by around the node.
The Concordia-class Volturnus and Gaia wing of third-generation Claymores will arrive from the node, attempting to negotiate for safe passage. Command denies. Then a Shivan corvette, the Merihem comes in. Let them soften each other up. The Volturnus will deploy Iross wing of Stentors. Take out Krishna and Shivore wings while you get the chance (Maras and Nephilims).
Once that wave's done, Olympia wing of six Kestros fighters will come in. Whack them all.
The missile cruiser Samosata will come in, only to get broad-sided by the Demon-class Danthalion. Command advises you to just sit back. Then go for the Danthalion: destroy both main beams and their topside beam. Watch out for Arjuna, Vishnu and Agni wings of Manticores, followed by Lakshmi wing of Scorpions. The Mako and Punishment will come in to support with beam bombardment.
The Tyrannos-class Alcibiades will come into the field of play. They claim to be awaiting three transports: the Tabriz, Pherai and Khorram. Scan the transports. Once that's done, Brahma wing of Seraphim bombers will attempt to attack the Alcibiades. Indra wing of Nahemas will attempt to strike the transports. Leave those bombers to Cira wing of Stentors.
Once the Alcibiades is finished, the Tereus-class Empress comes in. Do some damage: take out the beam cannons, soften them up and their wings. Until the Empress calls for a cease-fire and an exchange: crew for intel. Stop the scouting wave of Dragons in Bheema wing, then start assigning your wings to transport cover.
The Orodes transport will get hounded by Sati wing (four Taurvis). Then the Gobryas will get hounded by Kali wing.
Deva wing (of Maras) and Karna wing (of Astaroths) will barge in, clean them out.
The Empress will try to launch escape pods, but a whole bunch of Shivans decide to barge in and make everything a living hell. Get out of the system.
