Background

Morgan Technologies somehow had a jump on a GTVI convoy whose contents were classified. An investigation is underway...

Walkthrough

  • Available ships: Perseus, Myrmidon, Hercules Mark Two.
  • Available weapons: HL-7, SDG, Morning Star, Prometheus R/S, Lamprey. Rockeye, Tempest, Harpoon, Hornet, Tornado.

You have Alpha (three ships, default Perseus) and Beta (three ships, fixed Perseus).

You will see a damaged convoy right in front of you. One of the ships is intact enough to escape, escort it until it gets out. Then some hostile Myrmidons will show up. Kill them.

An Argo class transport will head for the science vessel. Destroy it. Then deal with the multiple waves of Artemis bombers (by this time, the rescue crews and Beta will show up). Cover the rescue crews in evacuation, meanwhile, you're going to have to deal with multiple Vasudan fighters (Taurets and Serapis fighters). Then some "stealthed" Horuses will show up, kill them.

After the evac vessels clear out, a GTVI cleanup crew comes in with some Boanerges and Ursa bombers. They'll kill one of the cruisers, then Command will tell you to destroy the convoy craft, so they don't fall into the wrong hands. You can then return to base.
