'''ACT 2 MISSION 14'''

'''Description:''' Defend a faltering jump node blockade from multiple [[Shivan]] fighters and bombers.

==Background==

The Tau Sigma-Tania Australis jump node blockade has been battered by constant attacks from the Shivans, with the escorting fighters nearly wiped out. Alpha Wing is sent in relief.

==Walkthrough==

A recommended loadout is the [[GTF Perseus]], with dual [[Prometheus S]] cannons, one bank of [[Harpoon]]s and one bank of [[Tornado]]es.

Delta Wing (consisting of three badly damaged [[Tauret]]s) will be engaging Aries Wing (consisting of [[Manticore]]s). Deal with them the best you can, and take out the [[Nahema]] bombers assaulting the [[GTCv Deimos|''Deimos''-class]] ''Athens''. 

The rest of the mission is dogfighting against [[Aeshma]]s, some [[Mara]]s, and [[Basilisk]]s, along with interception against every type of Shivan bomber.

If the blockade starts to fall apart, don't fret just yet. As much as you would like some reinforcements, they're not coming or on their way, but too late to show up.

Still keep dogfighting, and when the Shivan capital ships show up, just engage anything as long as you don't find yourselves in a hostile beam envelope.

The MTD ''Auriga'' will arrive on the scene and take out one of the Shivan capital ships. Check its sensor subsystem, and scan it if you get the chance (it's okay if you don't get it, watch out for the heavy flak and some anti-air beams).

After all the hell is over, only the GTC ''Lonewolf'' is standing. Epsilon Wing shows up, but they're too late. You will then be called to return to base.
