The final mission and the Claw is under heavy attack. All you can do is stick close to the Claw and try to take out anything that comes close. There's nothing more to this mission than that.
Outcome
Success you win! Failure you lose.

Comments : I want to know why for the last mission the others wings don't save the Claws!

Mission : Charon 2
Comments : Because you're supposed to ice them yourself....which is annoying.
BTW: If you lose maniac, don't worry, he's worthless for all purposes anyways

Mission : Charon 2
Comments : I noticed, if you don't ice all enemy fighters but let one run away, sometimes the next wave does not come (e.g. I once had no Hhriss, cause one Salthi got away)

Mission : Name ??? Protect Marinetrans in SM2 (to Firekka)
Comments : Have to protect jumps of two Draymans, first one is no prob, second doesn't follow autopilot to jumppoint. When fly manually it follows but explodes close to success, not shotdown, all fighters dead before, Miss failed, why? WCKS version

Mission : Charon
Comments : WOW. It seems as if Origin thought that the only way to make the SM2 finale missions difficult would be to add the useless Maniac as your wingman. TRY TO KEEP HIM ALIVE. I DARE YOU. Tougher challenge than killing any amount of Kilrathi fighters.

Mission : Charon 1
Comments : BTW, if you keep Maniac alive and take out the 3 Kilrathi Cap ships plus the fighters, you get a Medal of Valor when you get back :D.

Mission : All
Comments : Put this in SM2 Game Notes please:
If the enemy strike wing has Drakhai on it, their destruction often sends the rest of the cats into withdrawal, even those attacking Tiger's Claw or your escorted ship. Capships escorts don't retreat though.

Mission : Charon 1
Comments : In addition to what LTL mentioned, if Maniac survives and you hit everything else but the Snakeir (since it's a bloody chicken), you should still get the medal.
Note that Maniac WILL shoot you to get the cats, which almost (but not quite) makes this an easier mission without him.

Comments : Funny thing, luck perhaps, but i got medal of valor on the first take (which means preserving maniac), never got hit by friendly fire, and actually maniac took out three (!) enemy gratha fighters!

Comments : That's interesting, I got the Medal of Valor even though Maniac got killed AND I didn't destroy the enemy Carrier.
