Proxima 2a : Midpoint Assault		Proxima 2b : Midpoint Arrival
	Proxima 3 : Alien Science Crew

Primary Objectives	Eliminate alien transports Patrol all NAV points
Secondary Objectives	Eliminate alien corvettes
Bonus Objectives	Eliminate 75% of alien fighters
Your Ship	"Black" Devastator
Wingmen	Maestro, Stiletto
Other Friendly Ships	Bravo wing (Vampires) : Zero (wing leader), Spyder, Amazon
Briefing	Cerberus has entered the Proxima system. This is the heart of alien operations in the Vega sector. Our purpose is to control the aliens' stellar-accretion device and thereby keep them from opening a new gate. To do this, we must command Proxima system. Patrol these NAV points and eliminate all enemy forces you encounter. Return to Cerberus for further briefing.
NAV 1 Wave 1 1 Triton 1 Barracuda 4 Manta 1 Devil Ray NAV 2 3 Stingray 2 Manta NAV 3 2 Triton 2 Barracuda 3 Stingray 4 Manta 2 Lamprey

Notes

• This is a straight forward patrol. The enemy forces aren't overwhelming, and there's just a few transports to knock out. As usual, if you forget to knock out the transport's turrets, the torpedoes probably won't hit.
• Remember your superior missile loadout... unload everything you have on the fighters if they dare to attack you. Aim well with the rocket pods and they'll regret it.

Success / Failure go to Proxima 2a.

Primary Objectives	Escort and defend the Cerberus
Secondary Objectives	None
Bonus Objectives	Eliminate 75% of alien fighters Eliminate 75% of alien bombers
Your Ship	"Black" Vampire
Wingmen	Amazon, Spyder
Other Friendly Ships	Bravo wing (Panthers) : Maestro (wing leader), Zero, Stiletto TCS Arkhangelsk at NAV 3
Briefing	The stellar-accretion device is supported by a large carrier force near the midpoint of Proxima system. In order to launch the proper offensive, Cerberus will require escort to this midpoint. Confederate craft from Krieger system will be reinforcing our assault on this carrier group. Escort Cerberus along this NAV route and eliminate all alien forces.
NAV 1 2 Skate T 3 Moray 4 Red Manta NAV 2 4 Red Manta 4 Lamprey 4 Devil Ray NAV 3 2 Skate T 2 Ray 4 Devil Ray 6 Stingray

Notes

• Throughout this mission, you must concentrate on defending Cerberus. Almost everything that gets thrown at you can hurt Cerberus' main components, so eliminate everything as quickly as possible, leaving minor threats such as the Morays and Lampreys until last.
• The TCS Arkhangelsk is under attack at NAV 3, and since it is difficult to defend two capships with such a distance between them, use your NAV map often and eliminate anything which targets the Arkhangelsk, leaving your wingmen to defend Cerberus.

Success / Failure go to Proxima 3.

Primary Objectives	Escort and defend the Cerberus
Secondary Objectives	None
Bonus Objectives	Eliminate 75% of alien fighters Eliminate 75% of alien bombers

Briefing	The stellar-accretion device is supported by a large carrier force near the midpoint of Proxima system. In order to launch the proper offensive, Cerberus will require escort to this midpoint. Confederate craft from Sirius system will be reinforcing our assault on this carrier group. Escort Cerberus along this NAV route and eliminate all alien forces.

Primary Objectives	Ensure carrier elimination Eliminate 75% of alien carrier gun turrets
Secondary Objectives	Eliminate 75% of alien carrier missile turrets Eliminate carrier shield emitters
Bonus Objectives	Eliminate 75% of alien fighters
Your Ship	"Black" Shrike
Wingmen	Spyder, Maestro

Briefing	There is no briefing before this mission. It is a scramble.
NAV 1 Wave 1 1 Orca 1 Triton 4 Manta 8 Squid Wave 2 4 Squid NAV 2 2 Leviathan 4 Moray 8 Squid Plus extra waves of Squid

Notes

• There isn't an extreme amount of fighters in this mission, but if you find yourself hurting, run for the cover of whatever capship you are escorting, if you saved it. The extra firepower from that will help keep the bugs off your back.
• With two carriers, you can't afford to waste any torpedoes or lose any wingmen. You risk not being able to complete the mission otherwise.

Success / Failure go to Proxima 4.

Primary Objectives	Eliminate alien command ship
Secondary Objectives	None
Bonus Objectives	Eliminate 75% of alien fighters Destroy alien transport
Your Ship	"Black" Devastator
Wingmen	Amazon, Zero
Other Friendly Ships	Bravo wing (Vampires) : Spyder (wing leader), Maestro, Stiletto
Briefing	Intel Science Division believes that complete destruction of the device may lead to dangerous long-term effects in Proxima. Your goal is to remove the alien presence without eliminating the device. Follow this NAV route to the aliens' staging ground. Clear the area of all hostile craft and await the arrival of Cerberus.
NAV 1 Wave 1 Accretion Device 1 Tiamat (alien command ship) 2 Triton 4 Moray 6 Squid 2 Devil Ray Wave 2 8 Squid Wave 3 8 Squid Wave 4 3 Manta 4 Moray 4 Devil Ray

Notes

• Waves 2, 3, and 4 arrive if the command ship is still active. Wave 4 arrives exactly 6 minutes after your arrival at NAV 1.
• Time is of the essence on this mission. Take too long and death is the only option.
• Remember, you have to destroy the command ship, NOT the accretion device.
• All you have to do is blow up the command ship and finish off the fighters in the area and you're on to the winning end game scene. Simple.

• Successfully destroy command ship, you see Win-Win ending.
• Destroy accretion device, you see Win-Lose ending.
• Take too long (about eight minutes after you arrive) at NAV 1, you see Lose-Lose ending.

Comments : For the final mission, this one is a cakewalk. Fly in, take out the Tiamat's engines and bridge, finish off fighters, go home happy.

Comments : Go for the transports first, if you want to maximise your mission score. Listen for Maestro's speech in the lose-lose ending - the cutscene is quite pretty as well.

Comments : Be careful on this missions. The turrets need to be destroyed. You can get a mission failed score even if every capship is destroyed.
