	'''Description:''' ~~In which~~ the ~~Apesokari~~ is ~~(hopefully) rescued~~ by ~~the Akrotiri~~.		'''Description:''' The ''Apesokari'', crippled by a surprise attack by the [[Aesdherians]], is attacked by an assault force, and Aleph wing must stop them.

	----		----
	==Background==		==Background==
	~~Crippled~~, the Apesokari ~~is an easy prey to Aesdherian bombers and warships~~. The ~~Akrotiri is on its way~~ to ~~assist~~ the ~~Apesokari~~ and ~~launch a repair crew ("artisans~~,~~" as~~ the ~~Ancients call them). The mission goes as planned~~ and ~~the~~ Aesdherian ~~attack~~ force ~~is repelled without suffering any notable casualties~~.		During the attack on the Sabre installation, the ''Apesokari'' was severely damaged by a surprise attack led by the AdCa ''Damocles''. The ''Apesokari'' managed to jump out of the area, but her engines have broken down since that time, and her main guns are offline. In short, the ''Apesokari'' is crippled and, without outside assistance, is easy prey for an Aesdherian assault force.

	~~The Shade and Ghost~~, ~~two cruisers encountered in~~ the ~~previous engagement~~, ~~emerge from subspace~~ to ~~attack~~ the Apesokari, ~~but are easily forced to withdraw~~. The ~~carrier Caliburn~~ is ~~soon~~ to ~~arrive, but~~ the ~~Akrotiri emerges from subspace shortly thereafter~~ and ~~easily annihilates~~ the ~~Aesdherian carrier with its heavy weaponry~~.		Worse, such an assault force is already on its way, led by the AdCa ''Caliburn''. Aleph wing, along with Beth and Gimel wings, are to defend the ''Apesokari'' against all comers. Daleth and He are being held in reserve should the need arise, while Zayin wing , composed of bombers, is tasked with dealing with the ''Caliburn'' once her main beam cannon is silenced.

			The ACa ''Akrotiri'' is already on her way with a team of artisans to repair the ''Apesokari'' and to provide relief. Until they get here, the ''Apesokari'' is on her own.

	You'll be doing a lot of bomber intercept as well as disarming capital ships. My suggestion would be the [[AF Kato\|Kato]] armed with a bank of Quasars and a bank of Cretes or Pharnecs, and packing your secondaries with Nightmares for charging the Aesdherian carrier near the end. You might be able to get away with the [[AF Tylisos\|Tylisos]] armed with Quasars, using your turrets to kill the bombers' shields; however, I never found it survivable enough when dealing with the cap ships' guns.

	The mission starts after a bit of dialogue with two wings of bombers with fighter escort jumping in to kill the ''Apesokari''. These bombers are insanely fast (130 m/s on afterburner), have multiple guns, and will launch fast-moving torpedoes at close range. Given that the range of your primaries are too short for feasible warhead intercept, it's best to concentrate on killing the bombers as fast as possible. This is why I prefer the Crete for this task; its low energy drain means you can boost your engine power a bit to keep the range close with the enemy strike craft. Don't forget to deal with the escort when you have the chance, otherwise they will thin out your wingmen significantly.

	After killing each wing of bombers, another will jump in to replace it; Storm wing will be replaced by Grue wing, and Furies 1-3 will be replaced with Furies 4-6. When one wing of replacements are killed, two Aesdherian cruisers with ~~more~~ fighter escort ~~will jump in~~. The beam cannons on these cruisers need to be destroyed, so switch to your Quasars and engage them at maximum range (1500m). Try not to use all of your secondaries, as you will probably need them later. Once the cruisers are disarmed, they will jump out of the area.

	While engaging the cruisers, two more wings of bombers (with more fighter escort) will jump in to attack the ''Apesokari''. Deal with them like you dealt with the first wave. As most of your wingmen will be dealing with the cruisers, the new bombers will be mostly unengaged; this is probably when the ''Apesokari'' will take the most damage. Take care of the bombers quickly once the cruisers have been nullified.		While engaging the cruisers, two more wings of bombers (with more fighter escort) will jump in to attack the ''Apesokari''.

	After killing one wave of bombers, an Aesdherian carrier, the ''Caliburn'', will jump in, and you'll be tasked with destroying her beam cannon. This is probably the hardest part of the mission, as the cannon is well-armored and your wingmen will most likely still be dealing with the bombers, leaving you alone to close with the carrier and disarm her. Use your swarm missiles and Quasar guns to destroy the cannon as fast as you can.
