 This is, canonically, the first mission in the main campaign that will test your skill in bombing runs against warships. You may encounter problems the first time playing this mission, so watch what you are doing.
 A recommended loadout is the [[GTB Medusa]] armed with three banks of [[GTM Cyclops|Cyclops torpedoes]].
 When you start the mission, you will have the ''Ravana'', as well as the ''Khenmu'', a [[GVCv Sobek|''Sobek''-class corvette]], on your escort list. Hit your afterburners, but do not attack the ''Ravana'' right at the beginning. There are some [[SF Basilisk|Basilisk-class fighters]] near you. Take them out with your guns. Once they are destroyed, attack the ''Ravana''.

 * The ''Ravana'' has weak spots at the front and the rear, the front because it is guarded only by a few laser turrets, and the rear because it is guarded by a single anti-fighter beam and flak cannon.

If the ''Ravana'' hits you with an anti-fighter beam, press R and hopefully, the attacking turret will be targeted. Approach it and fire another salvo of [[GTM Cyclops]] at it. Switch missile banks as soon as you fired a pair of bombs from that bank. This allows you to fire another bomb salvo immediately, without having to wait for the current missile bank to reload.

 ==Tips==
-* The Khenmu parks itself at one of the Ravana's weak spots. If you desire, you can provide bomber cover for the corvette while it batters the Ravana to destruction with its frontal beams.
