ACT 2 - MISSION 20

Fighter squadron: 74th Templars

Description: Capture Penthesilea Fortress.


Background

The GTVA is making gains in Delta Serpentis. The primary target is Penthesilea Fortress in orbit over the eighth planet, Macedon. The Ramayana, Pollux and Lionheart are tasked to counter the House of Spiros.

Walkthrough

You have four wings: Alpha of Euralyes, Beta of Alves, Gamma of Ereshkigals and Epsilon of Hercules Mark IIIs.

Start overdriving and closing the distance to the opening wave of capital ships (the Algol, Corax, Phrygia and Lucia). Focus on the Algol's forward beam cannons. Use Maelstroms to defend yourself in the furball. To extend Beta's chances of survival, have them ignore all capital ships. Epsilon Wing will cover bomber attacks.

Once the first formation of capital ships are dealt with, rally on the Ramayana. Counter the bomber wings attempting a shock strike.

The next wave coming up is a Long Range Missile Strike Squadron. Have your remaining Beta and Epsilong fighters guarding the Pollux while you divide Alpha into scratching the Missile Group. Gamma will deter further bombers.

Take a re-arming break while the Ramayana conducts repairs. The station will deploy the Stormbreaker. Take out the broadside beams and keep the Ramayana covered.

Once the Stormbreaker takes off, the terms of surrender will be forced. Once negotiations conclude, land on the Ramayana.
