+This is an escort mission that will require you to dogfight agile enemies.  The Aurora is the preferred ship for this mission because of its ability to cut through the sensor interference; a good loadout is to take an Aurora with an all-Prometheus loadout, plus Harpoons and Tornadoes.  Beta wing is flying the [[Perseus]] by default.
