ACT 1 - MISSION 13

Fighter squadron: 74th Templars

Description: Reinforce a strike force in Ross 128.


Background

In high orbit above Ross 128C, the GTCv Dexamene and her strike group had engaged the EA's SR-4 installation. However, the strike has deteriorated.

Alpha and Beta Wings are on scramble call to reinforce.

Walkthrough

You have Alpha and Beta Wings, flying Advanced Persei with Subach HL-12s, Maelstrom and Corinthos missiles.

Uh... uh oh. The Dexamane and her escorts have been destroyed, and the whole battle space is a mess. Also, take a look at the planet out in the distance. Ignore the capital ships on the far side, they'll run off.

In the meantime, start scanning the SR-4 Installation, then scan for surviving ships. The rest of your squadron expresses their worry, and for good reason, including communications disruption.

Once you scan the last ship, if it hasn't dawned on anyone yet, some familiar looking ships appear...

... yeah, that is not good at all.

At that point, start evading and get yourself to a safe distance point. Watch out for beam cannons targeting you and your wingmen. Try to not lose them as much as possible.

Once you get to safe distance, get out of there. After you arrive at Rio Grande installation, you re-establish contact with Terran Command

Start with scanning what's left of the Ephialtes then scan the Europa. After that, scan the Rio Grande's Communications.

Once that's done, the Ravana-class Sammael will arrive to clean out what's left. Command will find out Eleanor Kaprinsky is on-board the Rio Grande. After an argument with Command, she'll provide her intel on the Earth Alliance if the Templars can get her and any survivors out of there.

Start by defending the installation. At this point, the support ship will be available.

Once you hear that the survivors are on the Europa, assign your wingmen to defend that transport. Omega Wing of Alves heavy assault fighters will arrive and assist in the escort.

When the Europa undocks from the station, the Moloch-class Vakteth will come in. Shoot its main cannon out with your Corinthos missiles. Keep defending the transport from assault craft until it can safely depart and follow her out.
