It follows B4a: H'rekkah - Wasp Intercept and B4b: H'rekkah - Tactical Retreat and is followed by C2a: G'wriss - Alien Starship Encounter if flown successfully, C2b: G'wriss - Shrike Escort if the Midway's bridge is damaged or C2c: G'wriss - Enemy Starship Encounter if the Midway's engines are damaged.
Mission Briefing
Once we have reached the G'wriss system, we will be able to re-establish communications with Confed Command via the relay station in the H'hrass system. The Midway has been cut off from her primary supply routes by the enemy fleet in H'rekkah. Before her transmissions were jammed, we contacted a supply convoy destined for the Taliban colony. It has been notified of our situation and will be rerouted to the Midway. Our primary sensors have detected a small attack force closing to within strike range of this convoy. We can no longer contact the convoy, and an enemy fleet from the H'rekkah jump point is closing fast on their position. By following this NAV route, a group of fast interceptors will attempt to circumvent the enemy fleet and recover the convoy. Your Alpha Wing will attempt to reach the Confed convoy at NAV 4, eliminate any attackers, and escort all remaining ships back to the Midway.

Cl: G'wriss — Convoy Rescue
Dallas (RR) — You find Dallas sullen and alone, standing by the window, depressed about the current state of battle. You do your best to offer a few words of encouragement, which seem to have a slight uplifting effect on his mood. Stiletto, observing from a nearby barstool, raises her glass to you.
Dallas (BR) — If you talked to Dallas earlier, he makes a point of stopping you and exchanging a few friendly pre-battle words. If you ignored him before, he rudely brushes past you. Stiletto pipes up and suggests that you improve your social skills by interacting and bonding a bit more with your wingmen.
Anderson (CP) — Throughout the mission, you'll get various comm messages and requests for assistance from the Midway.

Notes
- At NAV 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 you have a random chance of finding an empty area, or having to fight 3 Morays. Figure on fighting at about four of these six NAV points.
- Don't waste missiles against the Morays — dogfight your way through the ambushes.
- There is no way to get to NAV 4 fast enough to save the Barkley and Porter and their escorts. You should, however, be able to save the Redeemer.
- When you kill the Skate Class T, surviving Skate fighters split away.
- After the battle at NAV 4, the Redeemer will replenish your afterburner fuel and weapons.
- When you reach the Midway you're joined by its four regular escorts in Panthers.
- If the Midway is damaged, the next mission is harder — if seriously damaged, much harder.
- Looking to pump your kill count? If you finish the mission, then fly back through all NAV points in reverse order, lots of extra alien ships will spawn to attack you. If you try to retrace your steps before dropping the Redeemer off at the Midway, however, the Redeemer will be destroyed.
Success/Failure
Complete Success go to C2a. / Midway bridge damaged go to C2b. / Midway engines damaged go to C2b. / Failure you lose.
WC:CIC Game Guide
Notes
- During NAV 4, don't be afraid to use your missiles and afterburners as much as you need to. They'll be replenished by the TCS Redeemer providing you manage to save it, but that shouldn't be too difficult.
- No matter what you do, it is impossible to save the two Pelican transports.
- The first ships that you should go after as soon as you return to the Midway should be the Skate Ts. These are the only ships that can damage the Midway's bridge and engines here. If the bridge or engines do get damaged, the following missions will be a whole lot more difficult. Once destroyed, a Skate T will split in to 3 smaller ships. These can be annoying, but can do little damage.
