ACT 1 - MISSION 15

Fighter squadron: 74th Templars

Description: ?

---

Background

The Shivans are back. The GTVA is now taking a defensive posture, with the 11th Fleet sortied to defend the Laramis jump node, while the 5th Fleet blockades the Delta Serpentis node. The Vasudan 8th Battlegroup, led by the GVD Khedess, has been tasked from Antares to reinforce the 4th Fleet in Ross 128.

The GTD Seleucus, the GVD Khopesh, and the 74th Templars are assigned to defend the Ross 128-Delta Serpentis Node from a Shivan advance consisting of multiple capital ships.

Walkthrough

The default load is fine for the most part. You can switch the Prometheus for the Subach HL-12 if you want to score faster fighter kills. For Gamma Wing, keep their bombs, but you may want to switch out the Hornets for Stilettos.

You will fly off the hangar, supported by Omicron Wing of Rhea bombers.

Let the Seleucus and Khopesh take out the Savarant. After that, scratch the new Shivans you see. Mu Wing can take care of anyone who wanders near the Khopesh.

An EA convoy will come in. After a lengthy discussion, you will be asked to defend them from multiple wave of Shivan fighters. A Rakshasa will come in. Order your bombers to destroy it while you take out its front beam cannons.

Once the convoy makes it to the node, Beta, Gamma, and Phi Wings will be launched. Keep one bomber wing guarding the Seleucus.

The whole Shivan strike force will come in. Start taking them out.

One Shivan destroyer will get on the Seleucus's blind side. Order your bombers guarding the Seleucus to destroy its frontal beam cannons. (Don't worry about it being driven off, once it's out of the picture, let those bombers join you in destroying the convoy.)

After the convoy is scratched, a new Shivan ship will come in and wreck the Seleucus. You'll see yet another Shivan strike force coming in. Get to the node and get out of there.
