Mission Briefing
The alien dreadnought is the most significant threat in this system. In order to mount an assault on this ship, we must first break through its screen of escort vessels. You will lead Alpha Wing's bombers in an assault on the enemy cruiser force at NAV 1. A second, identical force will strike at the second advance force at NAV 2. When all enemy ships are eliminated, you are to return to the Midway.

Notes
- Basically, this is a replay of I1, where you face a tough cap ship battle with a small force, and are then called away to help another wing against another cap ship. The differences are: this time it's Stiletto you're saving, this time you're flying a bomber, and the first battle is much longer and more exhausting.
- Stay focused on the cap ships. Remember what the Vampires are there for, and what you're there for.
- Remember, if a pesky fighter gets on your tail, you can go to rear view and use your back turret to brush him off.
Success/Failure
Success go to I4. / Failure go to I3b.

Notes
- Here you have a mission very similar to the first Kilrah mission... except this time it's you flying the bomber. Since there isn't much you can do about the fighters, your best bet is to fly in and take out the carrier as quickly as you can.
- You probably will need to take on the fighters when you are done. You may prefer your plasma weapon especially if you are a good aim since it downs most enemies in one shot. You may prefer to use your ship's Stormfire though, although the limited ammo can be a bit frustrating.
- Once again Stiletto needs your help. Fortunately there are only three fighters at her NAV point so you can easily take them out before setting to work on the capships. From there all you need to worry about are the turrets. Don't autopilot until the job is done unless you really want to fly the extra mission taking another crack at the capships.
