A Paper Wall
Background
The main Shivan armada is closing in to Tau Sigma via Phi Eridani, and Alpha Wing is scrambled to assist in holding back the Shivan fleet as long as possible...
Walkthrough
You and Alpha Wing will be flying a Hercules Mark Two with a Prometheus S, Maxim, Harpoons, and Trebuchets.
Your task is simple: assist any friendly assets in the area by destroying all hostile fighters and bombers, especially those that will be threatening the RBCs and a demolition team deploying a Meson Bomb in front of the armada.
Expect to face off against some Manticores, Nahemas, Maras and the like.
When the demo team comes in, they will drop their Meson warhead, but get shot down by a Lilith. Stay three kilometers away from the bomb, and watch it explode.
Then the main armada comes in, consisting of the Nyarlathotep, a Ravana, and a Demon. Great. And a friendly Vasudan destroyer, believed dead, comes in. Protect it from more Shivan fighters until it jumps out, then when the RBCs try to deal out some damage, the best you can do is just get to the node and get out.
