Mission Briefing
The Midway is the last line of defense between the newly-strengthened alien attack force and a series of quick jumps directly into the Sol system. We will attempt to set up a blockade to stop a formidable enemy bomber force which is approaching at speed. Because we have insufficient time and vessels to evacuate Callisto Space Station, our blockade must center around them. Should we fail, the station's entire population will be in alien hands. Alpha Wing will intercept the first waves of inbound hostiles. If our defensive line breaks down, the Midway will signal the retreat and pull back to the Alcor system, where we will regroup and attempt to stop enemy forces if they attempt to enter through the Hellespont jump point. Any pilots who do not immediately return to the Midway after the retreat is called will be left behind.

Notes
- This is the easiest of the L-series missions; a simple dogfight, even odds.
- You may want to order your wingmen to keep the Morays busy while you concentrate on the bombers. If everyone hits the bombers at the start, it becomes too easy for the Morays to get on your tails.
Success/Failure
Success go to L2. / Failure go to L2.

Notes
- Missile the Skate Ts until they die, then take out the remaining fighters at your own pace. It doesn't get any simpler. Of course if it is still too difficult for you, perhaps you need to drop the skill level you are playing at in the options menu.
- What else can I say? Except don't get killed of course.
