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.
