(25) Destroy 100% of CN/F CON-F
(25) Destroy 100% of CF

(25) Destroy 100% of CN/C Tube
(25) Destroy 100% of MOB XTS-A [2x]
(25) Destroy 100% of CF XTS-B
* Opponents:
2 Imperial Victory Star Destroyers II
2 Imperial Lancer Frigates
Imperial TIE-Advanced Fighters
Imperial Convoy
* Difficulties:
None
* Tips:
Once the convoy arrives, 2 T/A will be launched. You have 2 options: you use your charged
laser power to take them out or you leave them alone and you use the power to recharge your
shields if necessary.
Anyway, once they are destroyed (if you decide to take them on) you should start inspecting
the convoy. Set the laser recharge level to 0, that way you can inspect the convoy at the
nice speed of 150. Normally, you shouldn’t experience any more trouble. You might take a
bit of fire while you are heading back to the hyperbuoy, but nothing serious if you do
evasive manoeuvers.
Mission 3: Mining Colony Under Siege: Rescue Aeron (Family mission)
——————————————————————-
* Craft: Corellian YT-2000 Transport
Shield Rating: 320 SBD
Hull Rating : 114 RU
* Mission Objectives:
SHPYD Vergesso Base: Board
Return to Liberty
* Bonus Points:
(250) Destroy 100% of T/B Zeta group [2x]
(250) Destroy 100% of T/F Alpha group [2x]
* Opponents:
Super Star Destroyer
Imperial Star Destroyer
Imperial Victory Star Destroyer II
Imperial TIE-Fighter Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Interceptor Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Bomber Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Advanced Squadrons
* Difficulties:
Getting Aeron off the base without dying.
* Tips:
I wonder if any tips would help here, because a part of this mission has to do with luck.
Anyway, I’ll tell you how I managed to get through, but I can’t guarantee it works for
everybody.
First of all, put your laser turret on defensive mode. That way it will target incoming
fighters, but also incoming torpedoes. Now divert all laser power to the engines (maintain
shields). Once the TIE’s engage, don’t hang around too long, just head straight for the
base, the defensive laser fire might even kill a few.
By the time you arrive at the base, you should have a bit of time to dock, without being
annoyed by enemy fire. Once you started the docking procedure make sure you set the
recharge levels of the shields and the lasers at full! In the meantime you can also switch
back to your rear gun turret (press G once) and target any incoming fighters. Remember,
it’s more important to target the closest fighter that has targeted you, than it is to
target the closest enemy in general (which might be engaging some X-Wings). Try to shoot
them out of the sky as quickly as possible, because more are inbound. Keep on fighting them
off until Aeron has boarded the ship. With a bit of luck, you’ll still have your shields at
a reasonable percentage (more than 100%).
Divert all the laser energy to your engines and maintain your shields. Remember to put the
turret back in defensive mode. It will provide cover while you are heading for the
hyperbuoy. With some fancy flying and a bit of luck you’ll be hypering home in no time.

Mission 4: Capture the Freighter Suprosa
—————————————-
* Craft: Y-Wing
Shield Rating: 75 SBD
Hull Rating : 40 RU
* Mission Objectives:
YT-2400 Outrider: Arrive at Kothlis
CORT Outrider: dock
MOB Suprosa: Inspect
PREVENT: MOB Suprosa: Destroy
* Bonus Points:
(250) Destroy 100% of T/B Deta group [2x]
(250) Destroy 100% of GUN Tau group
(250) Destroy INT Claw
(500) Destroy VSD Hunter
* Opponents:
Homing Mine
Imperial Victory Star Destroyer
Imperial Interdictor
Imperial Gun Boat Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Fighter Squadrons
* Difficulties:
No big obstacles in this mission, maybe the INT gives some people a headache.
* Tips:
This is one of those slow paced missions again, because of the Y-WING (you might have
noticed that I’m not so fond of flying an Y-WING). Disabling the MOB shouldn’t be a
problem. Just make sure you stop firing in time, since your wingmates will continue to fire
at the MOB for a while and that might destroy it.
Once you made the jump, head for the interdictor. This is your responsibility! Your
wingmates do little or nothing. Link your ion cannons and laser weapons and make attack
runs with intervals in between them to recharge your shields. I usually attack the weapons
systems on an interdictor, that way I will encounter fewer defensive laser fire in later
attack runs and I do the damage I need to do. If you happen to be attacked by a GUN or T/F,
take them out first, then proceed with the INT. Once it’s shields are down, it’ll make a
run for it.
Mission 5: Abandon Rebel Base at Kothlis
—————————————-
* Craft: X-Wing
Shield Rating: 50 SBD
Hull Rating : 20 RU
* Mission Objectives:
CRV Razor: complete mission
CRS Liberty must escape Kothlis
SHU Fey’lya’s Pride: complete mission
PREVENT: CRV Razor: Destroy
* Bonus Points:
(250) Destroy 100% of ATR Talon group
(250) Destroy ISDII Avenger
(500) Destroy VSD Hunter
(1000) Destroy 100% of Imperial Starfighers
* Opponents:
Imperial Super Star Destroyer
Imperial Star Destroyer II
Imperial TIE-Fighter Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Interceptor Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Bomber Squadrons
6 Imperial Assault Transports
* Difficulties:
Keeping the CRV Razor alive and well.
* Tips:
I must say that the Rebellion has a lack of brain cells from time to time. If I had to lead
this mission, I would let the SHU land on the Liberty in the first place and head out of
there (without all the base transfer nonsense). Now you’ve got to defend the CRV also,
which isn’t an easy task.
The key to succes in this mission is to take out the ATR’s in time. They pose the biggest
threat to the CRV and must be taken out immediatly. Once this job is done, return to your
dogfights with the TIE’s. Make sure the CRV keeps clear of T/B fire. After the CRV has
left the area, the mission is as good as done. The CRS Liberty shouldn’t have such a hard
time escaping.
Mission 6: Protect Imperial Computer
————————————
* Craft: X-Wing
Shield Rating: 50 SBD
Hull Rating : 20 RU
* Mission Objectives:
CRS Independance: complete mission
Protect Imperial Computer
* Bonus Points:
(250) Destroy 100% of Imperial Starfighters
(1000) Destroy ISDII Avenger
* Opponents:
Imperial Gun Boats
Imperial Super Star Destroyer
Imperial Star Destroyer II
Imperial TIE-Fighter Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Interceptor Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Bomber Squadrons
* Difficulties:
None
* Tips:
Once you arrive at the CRV, take on the GUN’s immediatly. While you are dogfighting with
them, the ISDII Avenger should arrive and launch some TIE’s. The ISDII can be taken out,
but not before it has boarded the CRV, so concentrate your fire on the TIE’s for now.
Make sure the E-POD isn’t destroyed and follow the other craft into hyperspace. The ISDII
will follow and the SDS Executor will join the battle. Engage the TIE’s and in your spare
time you can take down the ISDII. Handle it like you would handle any other ISD: take out
both shield generators first and then shred it into little pieces.
If you have difficulties comleting this mission, I suggest flying the B-Wing instead of the
X-Wing. It has greater fire power, a bigger torpedo/missile load and is an excellent dog-
fighter. The ion cannons that are installed on this baby might also come in handy if you
want to disable the ISDII.

BATTLE 5: Mustering the Fleet
=============================
Mission 1: Protect Alliance-Smuggler Meeting
——————————————–
* Craft: Z-95 Headhunters
Shield Rating: 20 SBD
Hull Rating : 14 RU
* Mission Objectives:
Saloon: mission complete
LT 3000 Raw Deal: Board
PREV: MUTR Saloon: Destroy
* Bonus Points:
(500) Destroy M/CRV Vulture
* Opponents:
Marauder Corvette
Toscan Fighters
Y-Wings
Gun Boats
Scout Craft
Imperial Star Destroyer II
Imperial TIE-Interceptors
* Difficulties:
None
* Tips:
I repeat: do not go head-to-head with the Z-95, since it’s an extremely weak craft. The
success of this mission depends on your dogfighting skills. If you do experience
difficulties completing this mission, spend some more time in the combat simulator.
Mission 2: Attack Imperial Convoy
———————————
* Craft: Y-Wing
Shield Rating: 75 SBD
Hull Rating : 40 RU
* Mission Objectives:
Capture Convoy’s Cargo
PREV: Minimize the loss of civilian life
* Bonus Points:
(25) Inspect FRT Toburik Haulers [2x]
(25) Inspect CTRNS Toburik Haulers
(25) Inspect Xiy/T Toburik Haulers [2x]
(750) Captured 100% of the Cargo
* Opponents:
2 Xiytiar Transports and the rest of the convoy
8 Hurrim Preybird Fighters
2 Skipray Blastboats
Imperial TIE-Interceptors
* Difficulties:
Frustrating mission, since you need to have a bit of luck.
* Tips:
The mission itself isn’t that hard, you can easily kill every opponent with your Y-Wing.
The frustrating thing is that you seem to be the only one fighting. I once killed 7 of
the Pry/F but the 8th one managed to destroy another craft of the convoy. What are your
wingmates doing? Sightseeing?
Once you’ve stopped the Pry/F you will still experience the same frustration when engaging
the T/I’s. Ok, so you can order your wingmates to engage your target, but they don’t seem
to listen. So, once again it’s all up to you. The downpart is that the Y-Wing isn’t
terribly fast and you can’t be everywhere at the same time, so … let’s hope you have some
luck.
Mission 3: Break Emon Out of Brig (Family mission)
————————————————–
* Craft: Corellian YT-2000 Transport
Shield Rating: 320 SBD
Hull Rating : 114 RU
* Mission Objectives:
Search the containers for the bomb
Rescue Emon
Return to Dunari’s Casino
PREVENT: MUTR Deadman’s Hand: Destroy
* Bonus Points:
None
* Opponents:
Imperial TIE-Fighter Squadron
Large Gun Emplacements
Imperial TIE-Fighter Squadron
Imperial Gun Boats
1 System Patrol Craft
* Difficulties:
None
* Tips:
Once you arrive at the first station, start taking out the T/F. They shouldn’t be too much
a problem. Once they are taken out, start inspecting the containers. The bomb is in one
of the Pr/Tk’s, so check them out first! After you made the pick-up head for the base where
Emon is located.
Move in closer and drop the cargo between 1 and 1,5 clicks from the base. Don’t be alerted
by the presence of the T/F’s or G/P’s, they won’t attack until the bomb has exploded. Once
the bomb explodes engage every craft that poses a threat to the MUTR. These will be the
TIE’s and the G/P’s in the beginning and later on some GUN’s. You can take the SPC out in
your spare time.
Most of your adversaries are a lot weaker than the Otana, so you shouldn’t experience any
problems. If you do, change your dogfighting tactics with the Otana.

* Craft: X-Wing
Shield Rating: 50 SBD
Hull Rating : 20 RU
* Mission Objectives:
Casino Personnel: 100% Escaped
PREVENT: CAS Dunari’s Rest: Destroy
* Bonus Points:
(100) Inspect ISDII Corruptor
(100) Inspect M/FRG Cerebus
(1000) Destroy STRKC Lament
* Opponents:
Imperial Gun Boats
Imperial Star Destroyer II
Imperial Strike Cruiser
Imperial TIE-Fighter Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Interceptor Squadrons
Imperial TIE-Bomber Squadrons
* Difficulties:
Escorting the shuttles and other transport craft of the personnel.
* Tips:
First take out all the gun boats. By the time you are finished with them, the TIE’s should
be well underway to intercept the escaping personnel, so head for the ones that pose the
biggest threat to them. Once these threats have been eliminated, several more fighters will
come your way. Just hold them off, in the meantime the B-Wings should have destroyed the
STRKC. At a certain point the waves of fighters just come to a stop, that means that you’ve
completed the mission succesfully.
Mission 5: Rescue Smugglers
—————————
* Craft: A-Wing
Shield Rating: 50 SBD
Hull Rating : 14 RU
* Mission Objectives:
Escort the shuttle to safety
PREVENT: SHU Merte: Destroy
* Bonus Points:
None
* Opponents:
Hurrim Prey Fighters
Hurrim Muurian Transport
* Difficulties:
Keeping the shuttle in one piece.
* Tips:
This a patheticly, difficult mission, you are heavily outnumbered (2 to 14 or something)
and you have little time to protect a weak craft like a SHU. The key is not to engage
every Pry/F until he’s completely destroyed. You’ll have to engage multiple craft at once
in order for them to break off their attack on the SHU (and to draw some of their attention
towards you … gulp!). Also don’t wander off, don’t let any of the Pry/F lure you away
from the SHU or you’ll have to restart the mission.
Once the shuttle enters hyperspace, follow it. Once in the asteroid field, it’ll stop for
a moment in order to disable a homing device. The Hurrim will attack one last time. The
best way to handle the situation is by drawing all of the attention to you, by attack the
MUTR. This should give the shuttle a chance to flee.
Mission 6: Recover Family Data Core (Family mission)
—————————————————-
* Craft: Corellian YT-2000 Transport
Shield Rating: 320 SBD
Hull Rating : 114 RU
* Mission Objectives:
Search Containers for Datacore
Emkay must retrieve the Datacore
Retrieved Datacore: 100%
Return to the Liberty
Transfer the Datacore to Emon
PREVENT: MK-09 Emkay: Destroy
PREVENT: FRS Andrasta: Destroy
* Bonus Points:
None
* Opponents:
Raider T-Wings
* Difficulties:
Keeping the Andrasta or Emkay alive and even that is easy.
* Tips:
Search for the datacore in one of the CN/K’s and drop of Emkay. T-Wings should arrive
shortly after you dropped him off. Engage the T-W’s at once. Take out as many targets as
fast as you can, but be on the lookout for fighters which attack the FRS Andrasta or Emkay.
Your own shields can take a beating, they can’t!
My experience with this mission learned me that most fighters go after the Andrasta, I
haven’t seen a single T-W go after Emkay. Which is kind off weird since he has the weakest
defence. The T-Wings aren’t a match for the shielding and firepower of the Otana on top of
that, they are the only fighters that’ll oppose you in this very easy mission.
After you jump back to the liberty, remember to dock with the Andrasta to transfer the
Datacore.
