Primary Objectives	Get information from Kilrathi ships
Your Ship	Dralthi
Wingman	Jazz
Other Friendly Ships	None
Briefing	We've equipped these fighters with communications computers that will simulate a real Kilrathi pilot. When you touch base at your Nav points, the computer simulation will begin transmitting and will contact any capital ships to request certain information. Once the computer's acquired the data then get out of there fast. We don't know how long these computers can deceive the Kilrathi. We think there are several capital ships maneuvering through your Nav 1. You'll fly to that Nav point, transmit to the capital ships, and then get the hell out of there.
BETWEEN CLAW AND NAV 1 6 Hhriss NAV 1 Wave 1 4 Jalthi 2 Snakeir Wave 2 4 Krant BETWEEN NAV 1 AND CLAW 5 Jalthi

Notes

• The Dralthi are a nightmare. Your first time in this flimsy fighter and you're faced with 19 fighters and 2 carriers. You'll be fine as long as you remember you don't have to fight. Just afterburn past the wings between Nav points. When you reach Nav 1, afterburn in, target each Snakeir, then afterburn home. Of course you can try to take out everything if you really want to.

Success / Failure go to Corsair 2.

Primary Objectives	Get information from Kilrathi ships
Your Ship	Dralthi
Wingman	Jazz
Other Friendly Ships	None
Briefing	Stay alert when you're flying this course---you'll probably run into Kilrathi patrols. If they realize you're Confed and attack, then you should defend yourself. Otherwise, don't blow your cover. Go to Nav 1, and your comm computer will automatically begin to intercept the comm data. Then return via Nav 2.
BETWEEN CLAW AND NAV 1 3 Jalthi NAV 1 3 Dralthi 2 Rapier NAV 2 Wave 1 2 Jalthi Wave 2 2 Rapier

Notes

• Another session in the Flying Pancakes. Fortunately this time the enemy forces aren't quite so overwhelming so you just need flying skill here. The Rapiers are unexpected, but a missile or two will soon sort them out.

Success go to Near Firekka 1. Failure you lose.

Primary Objectives	Defend the Claw Patrol the area
Your Ship	Raptor
Wingman	Hunter
Other Friendly Ships	None
Briefing	We're launching all wings immediately. Clear this area of any fighters and then patrol your Nav points for any enemy capital ships.
CLAW NAV Wave 1 5 Dralthi Wave 2 5 Salthi NAV 2 Wave 1 3 Gratha 1 Ralari Wave 2 3 Dralthi NAV 3 2 Jalthi 1 Snakeir

Notes

• There are no surprises in this mission, just take out the enemies however you prefer. The biggest challenge is defending the Claw so that is the best place to use your missiles.

Success / Failure go to Corsair 4

Primary Objectives	Destroy Kilrathi troop ships
Your Ship	Raptor
Wingman	Hunter
Other Friendly Ships	None
Briefing	Launch and cruise to your Nav One. That's where you'll probably find the first enemy troopship. Whatever you do, make sure it doesn't mini-jump. If it does, track it to the next Nav point and destroy it. Check the asteroid field at your Nav 2, then return home.
NAV 1 Wave 1 5 Salthi Wave 2 5 Salthi NAV 2 Wave 1 4 Dralthi 2 Dorkir Wave 2 Asteroid Field 2 Hhriss

Notes

• Ten Salthis is a lot to take on at Nav 1, but since they aren't your main objective you can always just run away to Nav 2. At Nav 2 you'll need to fight for a bit since one Dorkir only arrives after a while, but the Dralthi shouldn't be much of a threat anyway. Once you've taken out the Dorkirs, handle the fighters in the asteroid field, hit the Nav point, then head home.

Success go to Corsair 5. Failure you lose.

Primary Objectives	Locate Confed troop ships and escort them to the Claw
Your Ship	Dralthi
Wingman	Angel
Other Friendly Ships	Drayman at Nav 1
Briefing	You'll fly to your Nav 1, destroying any enemy ships you encounter and then return immediately to the Tiger's Claw.
BETWEEN CLAW AND NAV 1 4 Gratha 1 Ralari NAV 1 4 Krant BETWEEN NAV 1 AND CLAW 4 Salthi

Notes

• Although it would be nice if you could take out the Grathas and the Ralari, don't feel you have to. When you arrive at Nav 1, two Krants will be after you, the other two will be after the Drayman so take them out first. All of the Salthi usually go after you so hopefully you won't have to worry about the Drayman when you get to that point. Unfortunately you can't just run past the Salthi because that would leave the Drayman behind.

Success / Failure go to Corsair 6

Primary Objectives	Destroy all Kilrathi encountered
Your Ship	Rapier
Wingman	Angel
Other Friendly Ships	None
Briefing	Follow your programmed Nav course. You'll rejoin the Claw at the rendezvous point.
NAV 1 Wave 1 4 Salthi Wave 2 3 Hhriss BETWEEN NAV 1 AND 2 4 Gratha NAV 2 Wave 1 2 Krant Wave 2 2 Jalthi BETWEEN NAV 2 AND 3 4 Salthi 1 Dorkir NAV 3 3 Jalthi 1 Fralthi CLAW NAV Wave 1 3 Dralthi Wave 2 4 Krant

Notes

• There's a huge number of enemies in this one and you need to destroy every one. Fortunately none of the wings come in completely overwhelming numbers but you won't have enough missiles to last all the way. At least you're flying a Rapier for this one.

Success go to Charon 1. Failure you lose.

Mission : Any Dralthi / Hornet missions in SM2
Comments : Who said Origin didn´t make the "Maniac Missions"? What about flying Pancakes and Hornets against whole Kilrathi fleets? If you don´t want just to run, try luring some Kilrathi away so you´ll face less fighters at a time.

Comments : Strange. I flew this one several times, always only 1 Salthi at Nav 1 for me... This mission is easier than it seems at first, so don't be frightened cause of the huge number of enemy ships ;)

Comments : The Kilrathi Saga version of this mission has less fighters. Only 1 Salthi, and 2 Krant. And, if you don't kill the Drakhai and let them escape, the 2nd wave doesn't come.

Mission : Corsair 3
Comments : Note that fighters which retreat from the initial tangle at the Claw (there may be several if you go after the Drakhai first) will show up when you come in to land. (This always happens when you revisit a nav point, but it doesn't usually come up)

Mission :
Comments : actually, in my run, if I let even one ship escape me, i go to charon, so to go on the winning path of the game, I had to visit all the nave points again, to finish the job on the guys that escaped me, including the 2nd wave of khriss at nav one (coming after salthi). The biggest problem for me was running out of fuel, even more than missiles, becouse without it, you're sitting duck.

Mission : Corsair 4
Comments : There are actually 5 Dralthi (2 being Drakhai) at Nav 2, not 4. One of the Dorkirs at Nav 2 jumps out fairly quickly, so it's best to not get too caught up with fighting the escorts. You lose if either of them escape. Drakhai in Dralthi aren't exactly deadly but they can take some time to take out. Best to just zoom past them and strafe the Dorkir, then mop up the escorts afterwards.

Comments : Didn't want to leave any cats alive. Buuuuuuuuut, at the Tiger's Claw, the Drakhai ran away, so I went back to Nav 3, then back to the Claw, but the Claw wasn't there! Had to eject to finish the mission (still passed it, I guess, since everything was dead. Weird, tho...)

Comments : Well...begin was really easy - destroying 3 Dralthis, one destroyed self, and one was routed. After this ,Im goping pas asteroid field, and then, assault on Grathas&Ralari. It was big battle, but Ralari was toasted. Next attack on Jalthis defending Snakeir. Snakeir was tough, but was destroyed too. Return to Claw..and I see 3 Dralthis attacked Claw - destroyed it, and then...5 Salthi - Oh my God..

Comments : Gosh,. another hard mission. It is really hard destroy with flying pancakes 3 Grathas, Ralari, 3 Krants, 2 Salthis and bring Drayman (almost) intact to Claw...but I've did it. I don't know. Either missions in SM2 are really hard, or my nerves are weaken...
