ACT 1 - MISSION 16

Fighter squadron: 74th Templars

Description: Harass Shivan cruiser and corvette groups closing on Delta Serpentis.

---

Background

The SSD Vidyadhar is closing in on major centers of Delta Serpentis. While reinforcements are mustering in Vega and Antares, remaining fleet assets are tasked with evacuating the moon of De Vaas.

The defense line tasked to harass advance elements of the Shivans are from the Terran 2nd Fleet and Vasudan 8th Battlegroup backed by a Mjolnir Beam Battery.

Walkthrough

You will be flying a modified GTB Rhea fitted with an LPAC/Prometheus G gun battery with a bank each of TAG-C Missiles and Cyclops II torpedoes. The rest of the fighter defense line consists of Alpha Wing of Rheas, Beta Wing of Ereshkigals, Mu Wing of Inpus and Nu Wing of Mihoses.

The TAG-C Missiles are your designators for the four Mjolnir Beam Cannons, toggle them on or off with the 1 to 4 keys. The thicker the target (or more immediate threat from a ship's Beams), the more Beam Cannons you should turn on. Once the target is softened, finish them off with your LPAC or Cyclops torpedoes (direct Alpha Wing to destroy the other ship or focus your fire depending on if your friendly capital ships are taking a beating).

Direct your interceptors as you see fit to defend any capital assets or the Beam Cannons from bombers or heavy fighters. Should you need to join the dogfight, the Rhea can maneuver enough to use the Prometheus G cannons.

Once all the waves are cleared, the Kismat decides to crash the party. Return to base once Command says so.
