Mission Briefing
The enemy cruiser has regrouped with its escorts and is closing on the Midway's position at top speed. Hawk's Charlie Wing will be deployed to act as a fighter screen for the Midway. Meanwhile, your Alpha Wing will provide an escort for Bravo Wing, under Maniac, as they attempt to destroy the approaching cruiser and its escort. Upon completion of your objective, you will fall back to assist in Midway's defense if necessary. This force may have been responsible for the destruction of an entire Kilrathi fleet. Success in this mission is imperative.

C3a/b: G'Wriss — Cruiser Assault/Hydra Fleet Assault
For C3A:
Zero (RR) — You find a glum Zero drinking in the Rec Room. He first berates you for interrupting him, then asks about your "free ride" through the Academy. You talk about the reputation you've had to live up to. Finally, both of you recognize that you have more in common than you realized. Zero also talks a bit more about Kn'thrak
For C3B:
Dallas (BR) — If you encouraged him earlier, Dallas approaches all smiles and offers his two hundred percent. You get a vague premonition that his enthusiasm may soon come to an end.
Maestro (BR) — In his usual show of words. Maestro tells you not to worry about Dallas.

Notes - C3a
- You get this mission if you killed both destroyers in the previous mission. You have to deal with the cruiser and its fighter escorts, and protect the M/dway from bombers.
- Immediately after leaving the Midway, you get a message advising you to go after the bombers first. Do what Mama says.
- Use bosters to get to the bombers fast.
- Despite the line of Panthers back at the Midway, don't move on to the cap ship until all the fighters are out of the picture.
- Once you're down to just the cruiser, simply take out its shield emitters and turrets.
- There is nothing you can do to prevent Dallas' death.
Notes - C3b
- If you didn't get both destroyers when you had the chance, they're both back like a pair of bad pennies in this mission. Three cap ships for the price of one.
- Of the three cap ships, your top priority is the cruiser. Otherwise you get shunted to two extra losing missions.
- Of course, if you want to boost your kill total, you can always deliberately leave the cruiser intact, in order to check out the next two missions.
Success/Failure
C3a: Success go to D1. / Failure go to DLl.
C3b: Complete Success go to D1. / Moderate Success go to DLl. / Failure you lose.
WC:CIC Game Guide
Notes
- This mission is a pain. Three capships, four bombers. Make sure the bombers survive, take out the Skate T first, then the other fighters quickly, and set to work on the shield emitters so the bombers can get started. Don't forget to use your booster pack and your Swarmers.
- You meet a Ray cluster in this mission. They are slow bulky things which drift around dropping mines. They also fire guns and missiles at you, but if you get behind one they're no trouble. When one is destroyed, all of the nodes orbiting the Ray split off and start flying around being a pain. They do little damage and the slightest scratch will take them out. Concentrate on the larger fighters first.
- Dallas dies in this mission. There is no way to save him.

Comments : Without any reason, one of the two Orcas blows up as i get out of the launch platform. It happened the three or four times i did this mission. One less to deal with...
