	Wait for the first contact prediction (it will look like a jump node), then start placing turrets. A flak turret or two near the platforms closest to the jump point is recommended, as is one of the ECM turrets; put the other one on a platform close to the refinery for maximum coverage. From there, put a flak-missile-gauss cluster on the platforms surrounding the refinery, and place one of the repair turrets on the fourth platform in one of the clusters. Once you place them all, ''don't'' activate them yet.		Wait for the first contact prediction (it will look like a jump node), then start placing turrets.

Once you place them all, ''don't'' activate them yet.

	The first wave will jump in -- a wing of three [[GTF Perseus\|Persei]]. You and the rest of Falcata can handle that lot. Two minutes after the scouts jump in, a [[Vasudan]] convoy of 5 [[GVFr Satis\|transports]] with 2 [[GTC Cretheus\|''Cretheus''-class cruisers]] and [[GTF Kulas\|Kulas]] escort will jump in. Keep Falcata away from them, unless you want them to be shredded by flak fire. Wait until the middle of the convoy is underneath the flak turret cluster, then activate the net; the ECM should jam the cruisers' flak batteries, and you and Falcata can tear them up.		The first wave will jump in -- a wing of three [[GTF Perseus\|Persei]]. You and the rest of Falcata can handle that lot. Two minutes after the scouts jump in, a [[Vasudan]] convoy of 5 [[GVFr Satis\|transports]] (Aries) with 2 [[GTC Cretheus\|''Cretheus''-class cruisers]] and [[GTF Kulas\|Kulas]] escort (Draco) will jump in. Keep Falcata away from them, unless you want them to be shredded by flak fire. Wait until the middle of the convoy is underneath the flak turret cluster, then activate the net; the ECM should jam the cruisers' flak batteries, and you and Falcata can tear them up. Be careful not to let any of Aries wing dock with the station, or it's game over.

	The third wave is a heavy fighter sweep -- [[GTF Perseus\|Persei]], [[GTF Hercules Mark II\|Herc IIs]], [[GTF Aurora\|Auroras]], and [[GTF Nyx\|Nyx]] will be attempting to destroy you. Deal with the Auroras first to get your stealth back, then the Nyx, then everything else. If you can, pull them near the flak batteries for maximum suppression. The fourth and final wave will be a wing of [[GTB Rhea\|bombers]] with fighter escort, sent to destroy the facility. Take them down -- bombs before bombers, bombers before fighters. It'll ~~be hard to lead them to the turrets~~, ~~so just take them out~~.

If the ''Kopis'' gets too badly damaged at this stage, she'll pull out; if she does, run escort until she jumps.

	Finally, the Tevs will decide to be ''really'' unsubtle and start bombarding the refinery with [[Supernova (torpedo)\|Supernova]] torpedoes. There's nothing you can do to stop this, and the ''Kopis'' will pull out. But there will also be a wing of [[GTF Pegasus\|Pegasi]] for you to deal with; run escort for the transport as it leaves the field; once it's gone, you can jump out.
