Notes
- Shield and turret destruction is essential — you have four Shrikes against two cap ships.
- Keep an eye on the Manta bombers in case they make a break towards the Midway. If that seems to be on their mind, taunt them to draw them away.
Success/Failure
Success go to E1. / Failure you lose.

Notes
- This is your last chance. Fail here and it's over. Shame you have two capships to contend with. Take out the fighters and shield emitters quickly. You can't afford to make any mistakes at this point.
- Again, be careful of the Barracudas. It may be a good idea to take them out first.
