Description:
Background
The radical splinter group known as the Hammer of Light has been conducting many suprise attacks on convoys throughout Beta Cygni. These attacks must be stopped. The Hammer of Light presence is to be eliminated from this system once and for all.
A Hammer of Light cargo depot which is believed to be the primary supply center for all Hammer of Light activities in this system has been located.
This depot is guarded by a wing of Seth class fighters as well as an Aten class cruiser, the Ramses. The Hammer of Light does not have shielding technology, so this operation should be simple.
Your primary objective is to capture the Aten cruiser Ramses. You are to disable and disarm it with Disruptor cannons, then protect the Omega transports while they capture it.
Do not destroy the Ramses. The crew will be interrogated to learn more about the Hammer of Light.
Once the Ramses has been disabled and disarmed, destroy all cargo in the area. The Hammer of Light can not be permitted to resupply. The containers store Vasudan supplies useless to the GTA.
You are to lead Alpha wing on this operation. Your ships are equipped with our new shielding system. In case of any unforeseen problems, await further orders from Command.
Walkthrough
Once you arrive, order your wingmen to ignore the Ramses. Go destroy one of the Satis freighters to complete your bonus objective. Then destroy all the cargo, one by one. Forget about the Ramses. Soon you will see why. By the time you destroy the cargo, unless you are a speed demon, the Taranis should have jumped in. Order your wingmen to depart. You now have a choice to make, you can either jump out now, or choose to destroy the Shivan fighters and bombers. The Shivan fighters and bombers are no real threat so if your hull integrity isn't very low engage the fighters. If you see that the Ramses is down to about 4% hull or around there, proceed to kill it yourself. Your resume looks better with a kill of an Aten on it.
