-Due to recent successes in the civil war against the [[Neo-Terran Front]], [[GTVA|Allied Command]] can now spare two corvettes to assist in nebular operations.

 This is a mission where your abilities to survive while flying in between beams are tested. The default loadout for this mission should be fine. Alternatively, you can use a [[GTF Hercules Mark II]] armed with two banks of [[GTW Subach HL-7]]s and a bank of [[GTM Hornet]]s.
-You are tasked with the protection of the two [[GTCv Deimos|Deimos-class corvettes]], the Lysander and Actium. As the first two waves of Shivan fighters attack the corvettes, both warships come within sensor range of the Asuras, a [[SC Cain|Cain-class cruiser]]. Ignore the Asuras and destroy the fighters. Both corvettes can take the cruiser out on their own with few problems.

Ignore the ''Asuras'' and destroy the fighters. Both corvettes can take the cruiser out on their own with few problems.
-Once the Asuras goes down, a conversation ensues between your wingmen. You can use this time to rearm if you have used up most of your missiles. Otherwise, continue flying alongside the two ships and listen to the chatter. Once Command tells everyone to stop talking, you will see a few hostile ships on your radar, but too far away to be targeted. A short while later, they will enter your sensor range. Engage the Shivan fighters and destroy as many as you can. When a wing of [[SB Seraphim|Seraphim bombers]] arrive, break your attack and destroy all of them before they release their warheads. Continue engaging the Shivan fighters once you are done. Soon, the Lysander announces that it has detected the Iblis, and it opens fire on the [[SC Rakshasa|Rakshasa-class cruiser]]. As before, leave the Iblis alone, unless if you want to get the kill for it.
