Mission Briefing
The first alien starships have arrived here in the Hellespont system. Before we lost contact with our SWACS patrol, we learned that an enemy ship killer may be nearing the Hellespont jump point in T'lan Meth. An advance force containing an alien cruiser has already entered this system. Your Alpha Wing will be assigned to take out the defenses of the cruiser group so a wing of bombers can destroy the ship. If the cruiser breaks past our defenses, the Midway will signal the retreat and pull back to the Alcor system, where we will regroup and attempt to stop the aliens if they attempt to enter through the Hellespont jump point.

Notes
- The Midway is launching such an overwhelming force that you can pretty much choose what your wing will do and trust that one of the other wings will pick up the slack.
- Ideally, however, the best role for your wing is to take out all the Manta bombers as quickly as possible.
- If by now you're used to Panthers, remember the limitations of the smaller Tigershark. You might want to log some simulator time before this mission.
Success/Failure
Success go to E1. / Failure & Midway destroyed you lose. Failure & Midway survives go to L3.
WC:CIC Game Guide
Notes
- This is a tricky mission, but it is far easier than the mission you get if Callisto is destroyed. So make sure that it doesn't by taking out the Red Mantas and Skate Ts first. From there, just defend the bombers. Make sure that they survive to launch their torpedoes and you'll be fine.
- Be careful of the Barracudas. All of their guns are up front, and if they get one of your bombers in their sights, they'll make short work of it.

Comments : It appears that you go to Alcor if Callisto gets damaged too, the Callisto's bridge was on red when all the ships were killed and I went to Alcor..
