	Before it can be destroyed however, the installation breaks apart to reveal a warship of unknown class. Despite Command's hasty directive, you have absolutely zero chance of disabling or destroying this ship before it flees into subspace, so don't feel too bad. Once the warship is gone, clear up any remaining fighters, then jump back to base.		Before it can be destroyed however, the installation breaks apart to reveal a warship of unknown class.

 ==Background==
-Command has received reconnaissance information about a [[Neo-Terran Front]] cargo depot, hidden in the [[Deneb]] asteroid belt, which may hold strategically valuable material. Destroying this depot should put a dent in the NTF's offensive and research capabilities, and the 53rd Hammerheads have been given the job of doing so.

-You cannot choose your ship, nor can you modify the loadout of your wingmen, in this mission.
+You cannot modify the loadout of your wingmen in this mission.
-Follow Alpha 2's directives; attack the enemy fighters and let Beta wing move in and scan the cargo containers. The [[GTF Loki]] is a far more maneuverable opponent than the boxy [[GTF Hercules]], and faster as well. Fortunately, they are not as well-armed or as heavily-armored as the latter. Work together with the rest of your wing. Team up on targets, and watch out for NTF fighters trying to come around on your tail.

-After all the [[NTF]] fighters have been destroyed, clean up anything else that Beta wing has not already handled. There are a few sentry guns and freighters. Note that sentry gun fire can occasionally pierce your shields, but the Myrmidon is more than capable of taking whatever damage they can throw at it. Destroy them with your guns, or even collide with them at full speed if they are going critical.
+After all the NTF fighters have been destroyed, clean up anything else that Beta wing has not already handled. There are a few sentry guns and freighters, although the latter may sometimes jump out before you can get a chance to intercept them. Note that sentry gun fire can occasionally pierce your shields, but the ''Myrmidon'' is more than capable of taking whatever damage they can throw at it. Destroy them with your guns, or ram them with your ship if their hull is going critical.
 Once the depot area is clear of enemy contacts, Command will instruct you to investigate an unknown object 3000 meters from your position. Follow Command's directive and head towards the faint, flashing radar contact.
-This will be revealed to be an [[NTF Boadicea|NTF installation]]. As soon as your sensors are able to target it, Command announces that they are scrambling bomber wings, and order you to destroy the installation. As the Allied [[GTB Medusa|Medusa bombers]] appear, so do rebel Lokis. Command immediately orders you to engage the fighters so that Delta wing can bombard the installation. As you engage the fighters, [[Aken Bosch|Admiral Bosch]] orders all Allied fighters to stop attacking the installation. Command tells you to disregard the transmission. A short negotiation begins in which Bosch barters the withdrawal of his troops from Deneb for his safety. Command, however, reiterates their order to destroy the installation.

-* The cargo pods are scannable by your ship if you are facing them from a distance of no further than 150 meters. However, their contents are revealed as "Unable to scan".

 * While highly unlikely, this mission cannot be finished if you are facing in the direction of the NTF Installation ''before'' Command instructs you to locate it. This is caused by a scripted event in the mission file that triggers the appearance of the installation ''only'' if you are not facing it before it appears.
