Speaker Speech Download Transcript ICIS 04040013.wav The SWACS scans have confirmed a large alien fleet stationed in this area. 04040014.wav Due to their heavy patrols in the area, they are aware of the Midway's presence; however, much of this fleet is still focused upon the blockade of E'loy. 04040015.wav While the enemy attention is divided, the Midway will attempt a strike upon a carrier element of this fleet. 04040016.wav Prior to the main strike, a team led by Major Marshall will be sent on a diversionary strike against an inbound alien supply convoy in an attempt to draw fighter cover away from our targets. 04040017.wav Your Alpha Wing will lead the actual assault, with support from Charlie, Delta, and Echo wings. 04040018.wav Proceed through NAV 1 and 2, allowing the diversion time to take effect. 04040019.wav At NAV 3, engage your primary targets: an alien carrier and its cruiser escort. 04040020.wav You may engage other targets at your discretion, but the primary targets MUST be destroyed to prevent a retaliatory strike on the Midway. 04040021.wav When your mission is completed, return to the Midway.

E4a: T'lan Meth — Kilrathi Rendezvous
CAG (BR) — The CAG relays new recon data that indicates a large enemy fleet, with the Midway as its probable target. The squadron you're assigned to rendezvous with during the mission is Kilrathi. No one seems particularly happy about this, especially Hawk and Maniac. The CAG sternly shoots down their objections and berates them both.

Notes
- Cap ships, torpedoes, enemy aces, Kilrothi ... this one really has it all.
- Your fuzzy new friends are skilled and extremely enthusiastic; let them go after the fighters.
- Need we mention that it's not a very good idea to attack a Kilrothi — even by accident. The Kilrothi don't believe in accidents.

Notes
- In case you don't know how to destroy capships, you need to select torpedoes from your missile selection, and target an unshielded component such as bridge or engines. When the engines and bridge are destroyed, the ship is completely destroyed.
- The Kilrathi decided to take out the carrier while you take out the cruiser. Let the Panthers handle the enemy fighters, although you may need to take out some yourself if you get attacked. Don't forget you will probably need to take out the shield generators yourself. Only when they're gone will you be able to launch torpedoes.
