The specific depth of alien concentration in the Ella system remains unknown. Fighters from Cerberus will patrol the immediate area to determine the strength of alien resistance. Lead your Alpha wing along this NAV route. Eliminate all enemy craft you encounter and return to Cerberus.
Ella starbase is within range of our coded transmissions. Patrols from her defense squad report a Destroyer-class alien vessel in this area. Follow this NAV route and eliminate any capital ships you encounter.
The TCS Tereshkova, a Plunkett-class cruiser, and two Murphy-class destroyers will be jumping in from the Vespus system shortly. Patrol the area between the Cerberus and this jump point eliminating all hostile forces encountered. Rendezvous with the Tereshkova at the jump point and escort her back to Cerberus.
Cerberus will now attempt to jump into Cygnus. Alien forces are in pursuit and may over-take our position near the jump point. Escort Cerberus along this route as quickly as possible. If Cerberus can reach the jump point before the majority of the alien fleet arrives, we will be able to enter the Cygnus system undetected.
