I6: Kilrah - Wormhole Destruction is a mission in Wing Commander Prophecy. It follows I5: Kilrah - Dreadnought Assault and is the final mission in the game.
Mission Briefing
The Midway will now pull away from the wormhole to draw the aliens' attention. While we withdraw, your Alpha Wing will escort Dekker's assault team in their landing craft to the wormhole gate. Once the Marines land, they will divide into two teams and navigate around the wormhole's superstructure, disabling the shields on each of the seven stabilizing towers. As each shield is lowered, you will destroy its corresponding tower. Science Division believes that when all seven Towers are destroyed, the Wormhole will collapse and destroy itself. As soon as all seven towers are destroyed, escort the landing craft back to the Midway as quickly as possible to avoid any backlash from the wormhole's collapse.

Origin's Official Guide to Wing Commander Prophecy
I6: Kilrah — Wormhole Destruction
Finley (BR) — Finley gives everyone the lowdown on the Alien wormhole gate. She's got most of the structure figured out, and explains that by destroying its seven stabilizing towers, the wormhole will collapse.
Dekker (CP) — Dekker's group has landed aboard the Alien's wormhole control center and fought its way to the control room. He's attempting to shut down power to the wormhole stabilizing towers and notices that a nearby vid screen is broadcasting a large band of bleeps — he believes this is the enemy fleet preparing to jump through the wormhole.
Blair/CAG/Maestro/Maniac/Captain (BR) — As you're out on your mission, everyone onboard is trying to figure out how to take down that last shield. Blair suggests that a pilot be sent in to shut down the final tower. Maniac assumes he'll get the role, but Blair is intending to volunteer himself. The CAG, although not pleased, lets him go with one stipulation — that he fly with Maniac and Maestro on his wing.
Redeemer (CP) — You get a chance to refuel and re-arm when you pick up Blair.
Blair (CP) — Blair orders you cover his six while he boards the command center and drops the shields. Then, he orders you to take out the last tower while he makes his escape.
Blair (CC) — Before Blair can exit the command center, he runs into the Alien Warlord, the same one that interrogated him on Dula Seven. In rage, Blair rushes the Alien and attacks him at point-blank range with his weapon.
At the same time, you've finished your attack on the wormhole. As it swallows the incoming Alien fleet, your wing takes a victory trip back to the Midway.

Notes
- This is a very complicated mission. Here's how it works.
- You and Stiletto go in with the marines.
- A few minutes later Zero shows up with reinforcements.
- The marines take down 6 of 7 towers, but then get pinned down by Aliens.
- Cut away to the Midway, where Blair volunteers to go in alone (while the Aliens are distracted by the marines) and take down the last tower.
- You're ordered to rendezvous with Blair, Maniac and Maestro at a refuelling point.
- You return to the gate just in time to greet the vanguard fighters of a huge Alien fleet.
- Blair takes the shields down, you take out the tower.
- Blair is surprised by a bug on his way out as the tower blows.
- Everybody else goes back to the Midway for a party (a bittersweet party, but a party nonetheless).
- "Infinite waves" just about says it all. This mission is a sheer test of endurance.
- Defend yourself, but remember that your first priority is to take down the towers as the shields go out.
- On the last tower, you only have a few seconds between the time the shields go out and the emergence of the Alien fleet (i.e., take out the last tower fast, or lose).
- There is, of course, nothing you can do to save Blair. Not even his body can be found ...
Success/Failure
Success you win. / Failure you lose.
WC:CIC Game Guide
Notes
- This mission is a true exercise in endurance. You have to survive infinite waves of fighters while the marines knock down the shield of each tower. All that you can do is survive and knock down each tower as the shields are dropped. Chances are you'll run out of afterburners and missiles. Fortunately you get supplies when you head back for Blair.
- Both times you reach the wormhole, there is a Devil Ray in the area. This should be your first priority otherwise it could do you some damage, and that is the last thing you need in this long mission.
- As soon as Blair drops the shield on the last tower, nail it as quickly as you can. If you wait too long, the entire enemy fleet will come through the gate and then it's over. You do get a nice losing scene though...

Mission : Wormhole Destruction
Comments : Do not get the willies. You will not travel through the wormhole. Think of it as a one-way hologram. You don't have to destroy any cooling towers until you meet Maestro, Maniac, and Blair. After you get the Devil Ray, destroy all green towers.

Mission : Kilrah 6 : Wormhole Destruction
Comments : Perhaps Maniac should've gone into the tower instead of Blair... Missiles are your prized resource on this mission, keep 'em and look after 'em like brothers. When 6 towers are down, you can begin to get your money worth out of your stockpile.

Submitted by : Luke " Shadow " Taylor (psycomaniac@hotmail.com) Mission : Wormhole Destruction Comments : Just blow the living hell outa all the fighters ya clan, forget the towers till Blair's done his work then blow up some more fighters just for fun then hit the towers. If your good, you can get away with no damage.
