Mission Briefing

Mission Briefing.Venice System, 13:30 hours, 2654.287.

Peter Halcyon
All right, people, this is the big one.
We've discovered that the enemy base here in the Venice System...
...is the Kilrathi High Command for this entire sector.
We'll be moving in for the final assault on the starbase today.
The Kilrathi will expect us to come in with all of our capital ships.
That means they'll be looking for us in a few hours.
Tactical has determined that if we send in a handful of starfighters...
...we'll be able to hit them before they've gathered around the base.
We'll send several wings to punch through the perimeter to the base.
Here are the assignments for each wing...

The colonel quickly runs through the wings of Black Lion Squadron.

Peter Halcyon
Maverick, you and Hunter will head straight in, along this route...
Computer, display Omega.
Your first objective is the Fralthi-class light cruiser at Nav 1.
She'll have fighter escort as well...
...but you're just to slip past them--don't stick around to dogfight.
Then its on to the Kilrathi base, here at Nav 2.
There will be lots of fighters around the base, but try to ignore them.
You're main objective is to take out that base.
Questions?

Ian St. John

What are we supposed to take the base out with, anyway, Colonel?
Peter Halcyon
Your missiles. Save them for the base...
...because your ship's guns will be useless against anything that big.
Anyone else?
All right, then. Let's get to work.
Squadron dismissed.

No false modesty, Major. You're entitled to be proud of what you've done.

Not so fast, there, Hunter...
You two are the guests of honor at a little ceremony upstairs!
