Description:
Background
- The survivors of the Tombaugh attack must be evacuated from the Ribos system immediately. We do not have sufficient firepower to retake Ribos at this time. Your wing's objective will be to escort the Iota transports.
- Other wings will be accompanying this convoy. Alpha wing will be in charge of this operation and will have command authority.
- The convoy must reach the designated check point. Escort from this point onward will be provided by allied Vasudan forces, led by the PVD Pinnacle.
- Hostile forces have been spotted all over this system, and there is a good chance that our convoy will be attacked by Shivan forces. All hostile forces should be eliminated.
- The PVD Pinnacle will be arriving at the designated check point. This Typhon class Destroyer has one of the most skilled crews in the PVE. It will escort the refugees for the remainder of the journey.
- Help the Pinnacle until it has dismissed you, then return to base. Many lives depend on this mission. Good luck.
Walkthrough
You will like the Interceptor a lot, I guarantee it. At first your wingmen will chat. At precisely 1:15 into the mission the GTFR Nelson will startle you and jump in. Quickly order it to depart; press {C}, {1}, {Page Down}, {5} then {3}. The trigger for Vishnu's departure is the destruction of the GTFr Nelson, the above and will thus keep Vishnu wing in the field, allowing you to get the kills for it. After this many wings of Shivan fighters and bombers will jump in and attack. There will be lots of them, so just pick them off one by one, going after the bombers first.
Before you know it, you'll be done or the Pinnacle will jump in. If there are any leftover Shivans when the Pinnacle jumps in, they will jump out and make you fail some directives. Once the Pinnacle has arrived, two wings of Basilisks will attack. They are easy, just kill them and jump out.
Notes
For some in-mission comical relief, pay attention to the mission post mortem (ie. the things that transpire after the mission objectives are done). The friendly wings will stave their way to the jump-out waypoint, with the Pinnacle in majestic tow. Before you know it, however, Sigma wing will do a 180 and subsequently be mangled by the Pinnacle. Why the death wish, you ask? Another one of FreeSpace's mysteries, I guess.
