	Note that this is the first mission (if you don't count the Vasudan Ace from The Field of Battle) that the Vasudans remove the [[Vasudan Light Laser]] pea shooter in favor of using the ML-16 laser and other Terran weapons. Though the Anubis fighters will be only pests on Very Easy, Easy, and Medium and above they fire at a devastating rate, killing you almost instantly if you're not careful.

			It's recommended that you stay away from both Osiris bombers that appear in this mission. The first Osiris has [[Avenger]] turrets, while the second Osiris has [[Prometheus]] turrets, both of which will cause you severe damage since you lack shielding.

	Please note that you ''can'' target the Unknowns, using a somewhat clumsy method, however. Target one of your fighters and press 'J' (target my target's target). This will allow you to target the Unknown ships. Also note that the Taurus and Osiris bombers will target only the Plato and ''not'' the Unknown fighters or bombers, but if the Osiris gets attacked, it will ~~retalite~~ against the unknowns, allowing you to target them.

	The Plato's escape pod is flagged invulnerable (more likely set so it doesn't die in the Plato's explosion), so it will always make it to the jump out point, regardless. However, it is quite possible to get the Plato to the node and have it sit there for awhile until enough bombs slip past you. It is unlikely at best you will successfully defend the ship against all the waves of Shivan bombers that come in; and if you do, it will break the mission. It is often best to attack a Shaitan rather than the loner remaining Scorpion anyways, however, since they make easier targets. Make sure not to be too close to a Shaitan, as you may hit a launched bomb if the bomber is still facing the Plato, making you die in a rather flashy fashion. By all means go after the Scorpion too, but it is harder to kill.

	You can easily reach Taurus and achieve visual confirmation if you're flying the [[Valkyrie]] interceptor, give all power to engines and engage afterburners. You should be back at Plato just after Taurus is destroyed (self-destructs after it hits 80% hull). Note that getting close to the Taurus may cause the Shaitans laying waste to it may cause them to change targets to you instead, breaking the mission unless you take up the honor of attacking it until it blows up.
