	* In the successful debrief for this mission, Samuel Bei address these aliens by their proper name for the first time in his personal log—the [[Vishnans]]. This is what they call themselves in Terran standard. They are the cause of the ''Duke'' going rogue, and ever since the Vishnans made contact with the cruiser, the Shivans knew that the 14th Battlegroup was in this universe. The Vishnans are the Great Preservers, counterparts of the Shivans being the Great Destroyers. They restore balance to the universe through preservation, just as how the Shivans theoretically do the same through destruction. Samuel Bei believes that he is the only one the Vishnans "talk" to, through the whispers he has heard throughout his entire life. He wants to do likewise, but has not been able to. He ends his log with a bitter question about why he was cursed with such a gift.		* In the successful debrief for this mission, Samuel Bei address these aliens by their proper name for the first time in his personal log—the [[Vishnans]].

	* The ''Vassago'''s rear [[SRed]] stinger beams were changed to the ~~one-off~~ LRSRed in this mission. The LRSRed is the SRed with double the target range and half the firepower, enabling it to damage the ''Temeraire'' even from outside the effective range of a normal SRed, hence forcing the player to decide between disarming them to reduce damage done to the Terran destroyer, or ignoring them and prioritising other beam turrets and Shivan bombers.		* The ''Vassago'''s rear [[SRed]] stinger beams were changed to the LRSRed in this mission.

	* The ''Duke'' and ''Bretonia'' are beam-protected for this mission.

The massive firepower of the Temeraire battle group should make quick work of the Shivan destroyers. Of course, the Shivans will not relent (they never do)...

			But you can relax when the next 3 Shivan Destroyers arrive. The Vishnan will jump in and solve this problem. Feel free to watch the fireworks.

	==Background==		==Background==
	''~~To be added later~~''		The Shivans had appeared reluctant to pursue the ''Temeraire'', perhaps due to the presence of the unknown entities in this system. But this reluctance has passed, and two Shivan destroyers are now closing on the ''Temeraire''.

	==Walkthrough==		==Walkthrough==
	~~''To~~ be ~~added later''~~		Use your Harpoons to destroy the forward beams on the Ravana. You may also wish to disable the rear stinger beams.

			Once those beams are down, the only real threat should be Shivan bomb shockwaves. Be extremely careful when destroying Shivan warheads.

			The massive firepower of the Temeraire battle group should make quick work of the Shivan destroyers. Of course, the Shivans will not relent (they never do)...
