Walkthrough

This is a moderately difficult mission in single player, and presumably very easy in multiplayer co-op, although I've never tried that. This walkthrough assumes that you're playing in single player and will give you the most efficient way to beat the mission.

Again, the HLT Seti will escape at mission start, carrying away the HoL leadership. Your first directive is to scan the three transports. If you fly something fast and manueverable such as the Ulysses, you can easily evade the blob turret fire that the Satises throw at you. Set engine power to full and get the scanning done quickly. Next, you'll have to destroy several enemy freighters and the HLC Hathor. The freighters and cruiser are widely separated, so you'll have to split your forces between both targets. You don't have time to engage each individually because many, many Vasudan fighters will be moving to get you. The best strategy is to C-3-1 each freighter in turn while you go all-out with Tempest and primaries on the Hathor. The Aten has a poorly defended bottom hull, which also makes for a good missile shield if those Horuses reach you.
