	The ''Ranvir'' signals your wing after the Trebuchet threat has passed on. It is concerned that the ''Argus'' may vector in heavier forces, like a bomber wing or warship. Just then, the ''Akula'' detects another wing of ''Ares'' fighters attempting to gain targeting lock on her. Brie immediately orders you to intercept the fighters, but you are too far away. As you watch, you see numerous subspace wormholes forming all around the ''Akula''—more than you can count. From them emerge countless Eos torpedoes heading directly for the frigate. The torpedoes hit home as the fighter wing jumps out, and the ''Akula'' is completely and utterly destroyed. Your scan of the debris field returned no survivors.

	Three corvettes—two [[GTCv Chimera\|''Chimera''-classes]], designated ''Hydra'' and ''Pilum'' and a [[GTCv Bellerophon\|''Bellerophon''-class]], designated ''Marcus Glaive''—emerge a few klicks away and well within beam range. ~~The~~ ''Ranvir'' ~~loses her composure for a moment before she~~ sends out the following transmission:		Three corvettes—two [[GTCv Chimera\|''Chimera''-classes]], designated ''Hydra'' and ''Pilum'', and a [[GTCv Bellerophon\|''Bellerophon''-class]], designated ''Marcus Glaive''—emerge a few klicks away and well within beam range.

	Two wings from the 12th Shuduhune arrive on the battlefield just as the frigate disintegrates into a debris field. ''Shuduhune Alpha 1'' identifies herself as Captain Lila Zhiyan and immediately commences a heavy strike attack with her wingmen. Brie gives her a status update before asking her about the rest of her strike force. Her reply: there are none. She and her three wings are given the near-suicidal task of delaying the corvette trio to prevent them from attacking other fleet assets. They are not expected to survive.

			{{Comment\|This mission is sort of a tutorial, albeit of the trial-by-fire type. It shows you three things: 1.) story-wise, you are not going to win all the time. It brings the themes of loss and the grim reality of wartime operations to your attention again. 2.) It shows you the new tactics you will and face see in WiH, first and foremost the subspace strike, but also other tactical maneuvers. And 3.) it demonstrates the lethality of capital ships in Blue Planet, with you being heavily damaged the moment you start the mission without knowing what expects to Serkr Team's barrage.

	This mission begins with Brie yelling an order to turn hard left and hit afterburners as you jump right into the flak and AAA range of the ''Cho'', an [[GTC Aeolus\|''Aeolus''-class cruiser]]. As you recover, you see the two missing frigates on your escort list and radar being besieged by three [[GTCv Deimos\|''Deimos''-class corvette]]s. The ''Ranvir'' is able to hold off the ''Idomeneus'' on its own, but because of the corvette, it is unable to assist the less powerful ''Akula'', which is under attack from the ''Cardinal'' and ''Regensburg'' some ten klicks away because of considerable damage to her navigation systems. Brie attempts to call the ''Solaris'' for reinforcements, but he realises that there is massive jamming in place, preventing anyone from requesting outside help.

	The ''Ranvir'' will chase the ''Idomeneus'' off eventually, and the ''Cho'' will follow suit not too long after. Almost immediately, Brie alerts you and Kassim about a wing of [[GTF Aurora\|''Aurora''-class fighters]] setting up a subspace missile strike on the ''Ranvir''. The ''Ranvir'' acknowledges this transmission. As it bears down on the two corvettes attacking the ''Akula'', the subspace missiles—numerous Eos torpedoes—~~arrive from subspace~~. Intercept as many as you can. This will be followed soon after by a wing of four [[GTB Artemis D.H.\|''Artemis D.H.'' bombers]]. Destroy them quickly, as they pack numerous Cyclops torpedoes that will whittle away at the ''Ranvir'''s hull if left unchecked.

	With the added firepower of the ''Ranvir'', both the ''Cardinal'' and ''Regensburg'' are eventually forced to jump out. As the battlefield falls silent, the jamming clears, and the ''Ranvir'' and ''Akula'' finally make contact with Second Fleet HQ. HQ plots an exit path for both ships, as they are still capable of making a jump to subspace under their own power if given proper navigation coordinates and enough time to recharge their jump drives. The two frigates follow HQ's instructions, with the ''Akula'', well over eight klicks ahead of the ''Ranvir'', taking point.
