ACT 2, MISSION 5
Fighter squadron: 64th Raptors
Description: Intel has discovered an NTF rallying point in Gamma Draconis, possibly the location of the Iceni
Background

Walkthrough
Recommendations: Artemis, 2 Banks of Cyclops, 1 Prometheus S, the remaining missile bank for your choice
This is also a bombing run mission. I find it more difficult than the previous one. Your ability of survival is better tested in here than in the previous one. The NTD Vindicator (GTD Orion-class) is directly ahead of you. Target its beam cannons, and take them out. I believe destroying the Vindicator won't mean much trouble. But the thing that happens after this! More NTF warships jump in and attack you.
The Vasudans send in a GVCv Sobek-class corvette (GVCv Hyksos) to assist you. You have to defend this vessel. It's critical that you destroy the Orion's main beams before the Hyksos arrives. Against the remaining enemy ships, the corvette should handle itself, but go ahead and lob a few bombs at the enemy to get kill points. Delta Wing of Artemis bombers will arrive to help you out. There will be enemy fighters flying around, but Delta can take care of itself, and they shouldn't be much of a threat to you.
Tips
As with Slaying Ravana, the Sobek offers excellent flak and beam cover, though in this mission there are too many threats to simply sit back and watch. The problem here is that the Hyksos stands a serious chance of being destroyed by the Vindicator. To prevent this, take out some of the Vindicator's portside heavy beam turrets.
