ACT 1 - MISSION 9

Fighter squadron: 74th Templars

Description: Defend Aenaes Station from an EA destruction attempt.

---

Background

The 74th Templars are called to assist in the defense of Aenaes Station in Delta Serpentis, and ensure any stranded civilian vessels can leave.

Walkthrough

You have two three-ship wings to start (Alpha wing by default are Ereshkigals, Beta wing are fixed Advanced Persei but weapons can be customized).

Start by taking out Audax and Risa Wings. Then go reduce the Archimedes transport to scrap. You can ignore the Raven's Claw from that point on.

The station will deploy Delta and Epsilon wings. Assign all four of your wings to defend the station or the perimeter ships as needed. If any aggressors attack the civilian convoy, assign Alpha and Beta to Engage the Enemy: they will cover the best amount of space. Watch out for a variety of strikecraft front-loaded with Claymores, but pay special attention to any Aetna bombers: their Ripper cannons can and will destroy any of the convoy if you're not paying attention.

Boarding transports will try to hijack the station, coming in a pair at a time: use Epsilon Wing to help them down (any fighters defending the station will automatically cover). The Actium and Samar can use their plasma cannons to soften the transports up.

After that, assist the defense line in driving off the Eganatia and Rabin. The Rabin will try to use their bow beams: disarm those weapons. You may want to wait for the defending capital ships to drive off the Egantia before making your move.

Once any other Earthers have been driven off or destroyed, jump back to base.
