Briefing
We have detected the location of a large radar reading.
This is quite possibly the location of the Confederation
carrier. You will launch immediately in the medium class
JRATHEK to attempt a visual of the carrier. After
patrolling three Nav points return to the SHIRAAK.

Tactical Advice
- As always when flying against Wraiths, try to take them out fast, before they can get their Leeches off.
- On this wave you may not even need your missiles, if you can keep your guns on target. The Jrathek's two centered photon cannons are one of the most effective offensive arrays in the game (they're particularly handy at shooting down inconvenient incoming Leeches).
- Some pilots, in fact, like to make the Jrathek the exception to the "always use full guns" rule-of-thumb. They prefer to use photon cannons only, using the extra energy they get from turning off their other guns to get off a couple extra photon cannon bursts.
