ACT 1 MISSION 6

Fighter squadron: 212th Silver Scythes 
Description: Alpha and the LoneWolf attack a pirate base, but things are not as they seem...

----

=== Background ===

*With some help from the MMC's scans of the area, and from this latest attack near Tau Sigma Station, we now know that the pirates staged their raid from this remote location within the Tau Sigma system. If we move quickly, we may be able to surprise them, re-capture any stolen goods, and restore the confidence of the local business operations.
*The staging area is located on the outer rim of the system near a large ice debris belt. Central to the area is a large refuelling vessel along with several cargo containers and a Triton class freighter.
*Guarding the area is a Gunship of unknown configuration. There are at least two wings of fighters flying escort. These will be your primary target.
*Alpha wing and the GTC LoneWolf will jump in at close range for the element of surprise. Alpha, your primary target will be the fighter escort, while the LoneWolf will concentrate on neutralizing the gunship. Once disabled or destroyed, we should have little trouble apprehending the rest of these pirates. Good luck, pilot!

==Walkthrough==

Your first challenge of the campaign. Don't worry about killing the enemy fighters at the mission start, as they will soon turn friendly when Command recognizes its mistake. The pirates will then launch a massive fighter/bomber/cruiser attack on the LoneWolf. The Fenris is not nearly strong enough to withstand the assault, so you will probably have to loose the mission 5 times and then skip, unless you're playing on low difficulty.

Excellent voiceacting and script on this one.

==Notes==

==Notable ships present==

* [[GTC LoneWolf]]
* [[TRGC Sai]]
* [[GTFr Haulian]]
* Redbeard (pirate [[GTC Leviathan|Leviathan]])
* [[TRGC Meridian]]
