Requirements Hit all nav points and return to Rygannon.
Opponents The Kilrathi have surveyed Gamma before you, and are not happy to see you. There are three Dralthi at Nay I in Gamma; three Dralthi at Nan 2 in Gamma, with a second wave of two Gothri and a third wave of them more Dralthi; and three Gothri at Nan 4, followed by a Kamekh (confident novice) escorted by another Gothri. The Gothri pilots are all fanatical aces and the Dralthi pilots are all fanatical pros.
  • On the way to this mission, you will encounter a lot of random pirates and Kilrathi. Until you get to the new system, do not rake needless damage or waste your ammo. You should talk your way out of the random encounters by using the communication options and choosing the appropriate response. - "Eagle"
  • Once in the system, you will be immediately attacked. I took care of them by missiles and taming a lot of different directions. Try firing a set of missiles at each to keep them from attacking at the same time. The first nav you will want to go to is Nav 4: if you're in the asteroid field, just afterburner out the direction you came and bait them out. take the escorts out, then the Kamekh from behind.
