Description:


Background

While on the run from the Sathanas, the Aquitaine is disabled by a Shivan warship, just shy of the Gamma Draconis node in the nebula. Fighters are scrambled to defend the destroyer from further Shivan attack while repair teams and components are delivered.

Walkthrough

This is a fairly standard nebula bomber-intercept mission. Just make sure you prioritize your targets appropriately and don't get stuck on the wrong side of the Aquitaine. The ship is three kilometers long, so if you are racing from one side to the other, without completely clearing either, you are wasting precious time that could be spent wasting bombers.

If you clear the area of bombers, even for just a few moments, pull alongside the SCv Abaddon. Even though you can do little more than grind through its turrets, maintaining proximity to the shivan corvette will allow the Aquitaine to bombard it.


Notable ships present

Name origin

Argonautica is an epic poem that describes the events of a ship named Argo. Argo was sent on a mission to retrieve a sacred object called the Golden Fleece.
