I5: Kilrah — Dreadnought Assault
Maestro/ Stiletto/C AG (FD) — As you oil check your stats, the CAG tells you not to de-suit; you're about to moke o second pass at the Tiomot. Almost immediately, you're scrambled again. Hopefully you destroyed oil of the turrets in the lost mission — otherwise, you'll hove to contend with them now.
CAG (CP) — Upon takeoff you're ordered to help repel a small assault on the carrier.
CAG/Anderson (CP) — You get your briefing from the Midway after you're in the air, and you're instructed to take out the dreadnought.
Meanwhile, the alien fleet is massing on the other side of the wormhole gate.

Notes
- The Devil Ray ace is going to come right down your throat — you, personally. Aces are like that. Don't play around and don't try to dogfight him. Just do whatever it takes to missile him out of existence quickly. You can also try a Plasma gun blast as he's coming in. He can't decoy it, and it's sure satisfying if it works.
- Stay on the defensive and well away from the cap ship until you've thinned out the escort enough to minimize the risk of an enemy getting on your tail during a bombing run.
- The Vampires are going to have their hands full for awhile with the fighters, so if you didn't fulfill your last mission you may find yourself doing more of the dirty work of taking out shields and turrets than you might like.
Success/Failure
Success / Failure go to I6.

Notes
- I hope you're ready to finish off that pesky Dreadnought. But first you need to defend the Midway. Nothing there will try to damage the Midway so take your time, try not to take damage, and save your missiles.
- Now that you're done defending Midway, on to the Dreadnought. Your first task is to kill the Devil Ray before it kills you. Believe me, it'll have a good try launching loads of missiles at you. From there, take out the Dreadnought and leave your wingmen to deal with the fighters although if one is constantly bugging you, turn around and drop it.
- Don't die. If you do, you'll also need to replay the previous mission.

Comments : That Dreadnaught isn't that tough, it's a little kitty on the inside. Easy pickings.
