Solaris - Mission 4: Proschemata
System: Mira
Description: The first shots in a new conflict are fired in a fringe system. The Artemis assaults a Combine base to uncover its secrets.
Created: March 19th, 2018
Released: June 9th, 2019
Background
Several weeks later, the Elam-Qahtadnan war is over. The Qahtadnan Navy is a shadow of its former strength and the Coalition declares victory over its opponents.
The Combine escalates their military presence on the Federation border, preparing for an invasion. Combine politicians openly discuss retaking border systems lost during the Great War and now under Federation control. Archon Sarshar plans to discard the Miranda Accord entirely, ending four decades of hard-won peace. Commonwealth Prime Minister Charles Evans still holds out hope that another Great War could be avoided, but time is quickly running out. Without prompt preparation, the Alban Commonwealth risks being unprepared and at a disadvantage when war comes.
In Akkad, victory celebrations aboard Artemis are cut short as the cruiser is deployed to the Mira system, on the far edge of Elam space. A Combine base has been established there in violation of Elam sovereignity. The aviation cruiser Semper Victoria holds sentry at the base, and must be eliminated.
Walkthrough
This is the second mission flying the Hornet striker, and introduces the Sinarus Combine as the main antagonists of the story. The Combine field high-performance modern equipment, and the cruiser is more than a match for the Artemis.
On mission start, the Semper Victoria moves to close in on Artemis, launching a salvo of heavy anti-ship missiles similar to those used by the Gharial in the previous mission. Javelin missiles are slow but powerful and can take down the Artemis in only a few hits.
