ACT 2, MISSION 8

Fighter squadron: N/A

Description: Evacuate the Sopul Fleet Headquarters.


Background

With the Akrotiri's fleet reunited, Command has begun the evacuation of the Sopul System.

The Lucifer, escorted by the Demon-class Titivillus are moving in to destroy the Soupl Fleet Headquarters, whose personnel are evacuating to the Akrotiri.

Bombers are being deployed to stall the Titivillus as the station evacuates...

Walkthrough

This is a bombing mission with two four-ship bomber wings and two four-ship escort wings. Have a bank of Quasar cannons: they are musts when chipping away at all of the turrets.

Ignore the Lucifer. Start by taking out the Titivillus's Cannon Turrets. The ones you have to worry about are on the bow (next to a Flak Cannon and Missile Launcher) and on the "conning tower." Then, start disarming the large laser and missile batteries (you will most likely not have enough time or endurance to destroy the Weapons subsystem, also they will cause roughly 10% hull damage if they connect). While you're set on destroying it, watch out for multiple waves of Basilisk and Scorpion escorts.

A Moloch-class corvette, the Gader'el, will try to assault the station. The fleet will send two Kavousi cruisers to intercept. Send your bombers to finish it off once you're done with the Titivillus.

You will succeed if the station deploys all ten transports before it is destroyed. Once the Lucifer trashes the station, you can depart.
