Briefing
Speaker Speech Download Transcript ICIS 04040007.wav Using a limited encryption key contained in the captured jamming device, our Science and Engineering Divisions have been able to obtain valuable intelligence concerning alien operations in this system. 04040008.wav Enemy forces have captured the Kilrathi starbase at Dula Seven and converted it to an advance staging base for their fleet. 04040009.wav A significant portion of that fleet occupies a position between the Midway and the starbase. 04040010.wav Until Confed HQ can respond to our distress message, we must continue to gather as much information as possible. To do so, an SWACS will be deployed to perform a more thorough scan of the system. 04040011.wav Your Alpha Wing will conduct a standard 3-point patrol, with orders to engage and destroy any enemy ships encountered and prevent any interference with the scanning operation. 04040012.wav When your patrol is complete, return to the Midway.

Notes
- Despite the little surprise with the SWACS, this really is a pretty standard patrol.
- Note that your mission objective changes when you're sent after the SWACS.
- Don't forget that your main job is protecting the SWACS. Use your NAV Map to find out which ships are targeting the SWACS, and take them out first.
Success/Failure
Success go to E4a. / Failure go to E4b.

Notes
- Again, a straight forward mission, but this time with significantly more resistance. Try not to use any missiles at the first NAV point. You'll be needing them for the following battles.
- In the last two battles your only mission is to defend the SWACS. Your best bet is to constantly check your NAV map and find out which ships are targeting the SWACS and then take them out.
- There is a bug in this mission which means you can never achieve more than a 67% rating.
