You have to test the new [[GTF Pegasus]]-class stealth fighter in this mission. You fly against them. If yoo are lucky and extremely skilled, you can save the Oberon for two minutes. But you can leave Delta wing to take down the Oberon. But of course, trouble comes. [[Shivans]] attack the [[GTD Aquitaine]] ([[GTD Hecate]]-class), and you have to defend it. I cannot write much about how to defend it effectively. Take down the bombs before they impact the Aquitaine and concentrate on the bombers!
