Mission Briefing

Mission Briefing. Venice System, 09:45 hours, 2654.287.

Peter Halcyon

As some of you have heard, we've pinpointed this system's Kilrathi base.

The Tiger's Claw will begin to move into position to strike that base.

Because Venice is a vital Kilrathi system...

...we expect significant resistance as we move the Claw into position.

For that reason, I'll be dispatching wings to fly on her flanks...

...to head off any attacks from the sides as we move.

The colonel assigns wings to fly above, below, and to port of the Claw.

Maverick, you'll guard our starboard side.

Hunter will fly your wing again on this mission.

Here's your route...

Computer, display Phi.

This is essentially a three-point patrol...

...except that you'll rendezvous with the Tiger's Claw at Nav 3...

...instead of returning to the Claw's original position.

Be on the lookout for any enemy vessels in the area.

It's safe to assume any Kilrathi you see is headed to attack the Claw...

...so your orders are to immediately engage and destroy all enemy ships.

Any questions?

Christopher Blair

What kind of opposition are we looking at on this one, sir?

Peter Halcyon

Hard to say, Maverick. This is a crucial base for the Kilrathi...

...so they'll send their best to defend it.

Now, if that's all the questions...

All right, then. Squadron dismissed.
