Briefing

You'll recon four potential jump points on this one. We suspect the Kilrathi are running supplies near Nav 2 or 3 so be especially alert in those areas. And keep your eyes open for asteroids there are several rather dense asteroid fields in the area.

Notes
- Lots of rocks in this one, but fortunately there aren't too many enemies. Two Dralthis at Nav 2, one being piloted by Dakhath if he is still alive. They should be easy to destroy so just be careful about the asteroids. The next encounter is at Nav 3. Take out the first two Gratha with your guns, then when the next four arrive use the old strategy of getting behind an enemy, wearing down its shields, then launching a missile. Repeat for the remaining three, then the Dorkir will appear. Simply use your guns and your remaining missiles and it'll soon go down.
Outcome
Success / Failure go to Rostov 2.

Briefing

Your mission will be to engage the Ralari and destroy it. We don't have a tactical report of its escort ships, but rest assured they'll be there.

Notes
- Fortunately the Salthi attack is split in two which will make things a bit easier especially with rocks in the area. You may want to drop your speed a bit to give yourself a bit more time to respond to obstacles, but it isn't essential. Just hammer away with your Mass Drivers at the Salthi since you can fire them faster, and you need to be able to keep up with light fighters. Don't bother with missiles since they may just hit the rocks.
- Once you reach Nav 1, order Iceman to attack one Jalthi and you take the one next to it then repeat for the other wing in the area. When the fighters are gone you can attack the Ralari together. If you don't order Iceman to attack a Jalthi, he usually just heads straight in for the Ralari leaving you to handle the fighters.
Outcome
Success / Failure go to Rostov 3.

Briefing
|
We have a fix that puts her here, near Nav 2. You can proceed through Nav 1, avoiding the asteroid field along the way or you can pick your way straight through the rocks. Tactical says neither route is significantly better, so it's your call.
|
NAV 2
4 Krant
1 Fralthi
BETWEEN NAV 2 AND CLAW
Asteroid Field
4 Dralthi
|
|
Notes
- Despite what the briefing said, when you arrive at Nav 2, the Fralthi hasn't jumped in yet. This gives you a bit of time to cut down the number of Krant in the area, although one of them is being piloted by Khajja. He is probably best left until last in order to cut down the enemy numbers before the Fralthi arrives. Whether you use missiles or not is up to your preference, but remember you have to face four Dralthi in the asteroid field on the way home.
Outcome
Success go to Venice 1. Failure go to Hell's Kitchen 1.
