![]() As your wingmen do so, Beta 1 voices a question: Why are they not fighting? You order your wing, Alpha, as well as Beta and Gamma wings to form up and wait for further orders. Orestes control notes that both ships are so massive, they exceed the minimum specifications for a juggernaut by at least five times. One of them is parked directly behind the node and appeared to be of Vishnan origin, simply designated the Preserver the other, parked to the left and facing the first, is more obviously a Shivan design, and shows up as the SJ Kalki on your ship's sensors. From your view port, you can see two massive warships at the node. This mission begins with the entire 14th Battlegroup jumping in to the area surrounding the Sol jump node. Alternatively, you can choose to fly bomber escort, but this is not recommended for less experienced players. If you just want to sit around and chuck ordnance from beyond the normal range of conventional weaponry, the Hercules Mark II and Ares fighters are there for this reason. If you prefer to do close-combat intercept, the Erinyes or Perseus, armed with a Balor, GTW Maxim and at least one bank of Trebuchets, should do nicely. ![]() Although Al'faddil's Erinyes fighter is chosen for you by default, you have the option of swapping it out for other ships, including the GTF Ares. This is a lengthy escort mission across several warships, so choose a ship that befits a role you are comfortable with. ![]() He has given you permission to use his own Erinyes heavy assault fighter for this mission. From there on, Orestes control will give you additional orders.Īl'faddil will be staying on the Orestes to assist in coordinating all escort fighters, while you have been given field command. The Orestes and Temeraire are now preparing all remaining combat-ready fighters for launch immediately after the fleet jumps into the vicinity of the Delta Serpentis-Sol jump node. The 14th Battlegroup has succeeded so far in not getting in the way of any of these conflicts, but the long-range sensors on the fleet's warships have detected a massive build-up of Vishnan and Shivan fighters at the Sol jump node-the 14th Battlegroup's destination. The destruction of the Sathanas has triggered several massive skirmishes between Vishnan Sacred Keepers and Shivan Sathanas juggernauts all over Delta Serpentis. In the briefing room, your squad leader, Al'faddil, gives a quick status update on the fleet's transit to the jump node. What the Temeraire's engineers have extracted from your flight data so far shows no trace of anything that happened to the ship out there. That is one of his two unofficial reasons.Ĭoncluding the communique, Admiral Bei's other unofficial reason is this: While he openly treats your testimony on Vishnan psychic communications with the same level of scepticism as Rear-Admiral Carey and Admiral Nechyev of the Terran sleeper ship Sanctuary, he concedes that he too, over the past few days, had experienced the exact same things you experienced before you merged with the Vishnans.Ĭaptain Kristae of the Temeraire 's 56th Squadron has attached a report regarding the flight records obtained from the Pegasus stealth fighter you piloted while pursuing the two Vishnan Missonaries deep in the Knossos beyond N362. ![]() The admiral, however, acknowledges the amount of courage it required for you, a former Commander, to lead an entire fleet of Vishnan ships, including a destroyer approaching juggernaut specifications, into Delta Serpentis and guide them into aiding the Orestes and her battlegroup in their time of need. After speaking to Rear-Admiral Carey, Commanding Officer of the GTD Temeraire, he decided not to submit you for court-martial for insubordination, disobedience and desertion, reasoning that because it is unknown how Vishnan psychic influence affects your sense of judgement and because of supporting evidence from your two wingmen, Corey and Taylor, your actions may not have been of sound judgement. He is confident that, if the conditions for their original jump to Sol were replicated, the fleet will make it back to their home universe.Īdmiral Bei has also sent a private communique addressed to you only. For this reason, Admiral Bei has decided that the fleet will make its way back to the Delta Serpentis- Sol jump node. The entire fleet now risks running out of supplies with nowhere to go for help. The Fortune and Solace have used up most of their supplies in order to sustain the fighting capabilities of the 14th Battlegroup and repair ships damaged in Shivan attacks. ![]()
