EISEN
Confed Intelligence tells us that the Kilrathi presence is growing here in the Orsini System. You and your wingman are to fly a routine patrol of these three zones and sweep the areas of any hostiles you may encounter.


EISEN LOOKS UP FROM THE DISPLAY TO BLAIR.
Let's get started, Colonel.

EISEN POINTS TO THE MAP DISPLAY.
Understood?


BLAIR<BR>
EISEN (V.O.)
Completely, sir.


EISEN<BR>
One of our tracking stations reports Kilrathi activity in these regions. I'd like you to run a patrol through there and sweep the areas.
Very good. You leave immediately.

==The Authorized Combat Guide to Wing Commander III==
===A Word From Colonel Hart===
This is your first mission onboard "Tin Can Sally." She's old, but she still has a lot of spirit. More importantly, because this is your first flight with a new Wing Commander, there's no need to toss you into the middle of the Kilrah system. We'll start this one nice andeasy, a milk run.
{Picture: Eisen} ''Welcome aboard the Victory''
===Colonel Hart's Tactical Analysis===
You will have three conversations in this mission: Hobbes in Flight Control, Rachel in Flight Control, and Maniac on the Bridge.
This is the easiest mission in the entire game. The best tactic is to order Hobbes to break and attack, and then clean up any ships that he misses
Use your missiles accordingly. If you need practice with the game, have Hobbes form on your wing and try to take out the Darkets alone.
{Picture: Hobbes) ''Make sure you chat with your old friend.''
===Objective for Success===
Destroy at least 3 Darkets.
===Colonel Hart's Counsel===
The Hellcat is your only choice for this mission, and you can't change your missile loads. I recommend you take Hobbes as your wingman.


==Origin's Official Guide to Wing Commander III==
==Origin's Official Guide to Wing Commander III==
===Orsini Sector===
The war is going badly, and you're assigned to an older carrier, the TCS ''Victory'', under the command of Captain William Eisen Now that you're in command of a fighter group, you're responsible for assigning routine patrol and cargo escort missions to your pilots. Aboard the ''Victory'', you meet new pilots and several old acquaintances, including Hobbes. Your first assignment as a CFG (Commander Fighter Group) on the ''Victory'' is to assign your pilots and fighters to a patrol sweep of Orsini Sector.

* Before you autopilot from the ''Victory'', redistribute your power. If you've got good aim, allocate the majority of power to your weapons and lower engines, damage repair and shields. If you're new to the game, increase your shield and damage settings and decrease engines and weapons.
* You don't have to take out the transport. But if you want to anyway, activate full guns and afterburn in toward the ship. Aim for the turrets (bracketed in yellow). A transport has two turrets, and once you take them out the ship is defenseless. For the killing blow, unleash your guns, or use a missile.
 
* Try to tail the ''Darket'' and match speed with them. Don't forget to lock onto a targeted ship--this activates your I.T.T.S. targeting system. Aim for the green sight to hit the locked ship.

===A Word From Colonel Hart===
 
This mission is a little more tricky than the first. You're going to have to hit three of the nav points and take out the Cats that you find there. Hobbes isn't your only ally aboard the Victory. Go out and meet your pilots. Once you get to know them they'll report to duty and be available for missions.
 
===Colonel Hart's Tactical Analysis===
 
You'll have three conversations in this mission: Cobra in the Barracks, Hobbes in flight control, and Vagabond and Vaquero in the living quarters. Maniac is still up on the bridge if you didn't talk to him last mission.


* At Nav 1, set Hobbes free to ''Break and attack'', then take out the ''Darket'' with full guns, or by wearing out their shields with the guns and popping them with an IR missile. (HS missiles will also work, especially if you've already tagged the rear shields.)
{Picture: Cobra} ''Now there's a lady with a chip on her shoulder.''


* If you're having trouble staying with the ''Darket'', use [Y] and occasionally afterburn. Take them on head-on if you want to--your shields are better than theirs.
On this mission you'll encounter a transport. The Intelligence boys call this kind of thing catnip. It's there to lure you in. Remember, it's not a part of your mission. Take out the Kilrathi fighters and if you have the time and patience, or simply want some target practice, open up on the transport. Just don't let it lure you in while there's still fighters floating around.


===TNC Newsbrief Text Feed===
{Picture: Dogfight} ''Don't be lured in too soon.''


In one of the more macabre touches to an already brutal war, the Hispania freighter Loa recovered a Confederation fighter adrift in the Veronica sector, its pilot ritually executed by the Kilrathi before being strapped into the cockpit and cast into space The fighter was immediately confiscated by the Confederation Intelligence Department, but crewmembers reported that Kilrathi symbols had been painted across the fighter's hull in its pilot's own blood, while those who saw the body indicated that it had been literally ripped to shreds
In the 3DO version you'll face a corvette instead of a transport.


Linquistics specialists at the University of Hawaii on Earth have made progress in deciphering the intricacies of the Kilrathi language and have begun publishing their reearch in leading journals. While Confederation Intelligence is rumored to be adept at both the decryption and translation of Kilrathi signals, civilian reearch has been sharply restricted.
===Objective for Success===


We'll have further reports as they become available. Information is the blood of free society. Good evening.
Destroy all of the Darkets.


==Continuity==
===Colonel Hart's Counsel===


''The Authorized Combat Guide to Wing Commander III'' incorrectly lists two Darkets at Nav 2 in the PC version of the game.
Take the Arrow or Hellcat on this one, with a standard load. I'd suggest flying with either Cobra or Hobbes.
