	* FreeSpace 2's scoring system automatically excludes the damage done by beams when determining who killed what. If you fly up to the ''Belisarius'', preferably as soon as it jumps in, and hit it at least once before the ''Psamtik'' destroys it with its main gun, the credit for that kill will go to you, not the destroyer. This quirk in FreeSpace 2 has been carried over into FS2_Open, and applies for every mission that you play in the game, even mods and custom missions. Be warned, however, that the ''Belisarius'' has strong anti-fighter defenses, even though its beams are neutered and will not open fire on you.		* FreeSpace 2's scoring system automatically excludes the damage done by beams when determining who killed what.

	* For this mission, you can linger behind, after Command orders you to return to base, and oversee the transfer of crew from ''Iotas 1'' and ''2'' to the ''Psamtik''. As ''Iota 1'' moves in to dock with the ''Psamtik'', Command will repeat their order for you to return to base, then be reduced to asking you if your jump drive has a problem. Ignore Command; your subspace drive works so long as your Nav and Engines subsystems are above 30%. ''Iota 1'' will dock with the ''Psamtik'', transfer its crew, then undock and fly away, after which ''Iota 2'' will fly in and do exactly the same. Once both transports have transferred their crew and cleared the ''Psamtik'', Command redeploys the destroyer to [[Alpha Centauri]]. The ''Psamtik'' will then order its fighter wings, initially deployed to relieve you of escort, to return to the destroyer. Once Zeta and Theta wings have entered the ''Psamtik'' through its two fighterbays, the destroyer departs, leaving you with the remnants of the convoy before the ''Psamtik'' jumped in. You can then return to base, as nothing else happens from that point onward.		* For this mission, you can linger behind, after Command orders you to return to base, and oversee the transfer of crew from ''Iotas 1'' and ''2'' to the ''Psamtik''.

			* Belisarius comes with bizarre, asymmetrical beam layout in this mission, with two standard beams replaced by [[Green Beam]]. Additionally it comes with two additional Green Beams, of which one replaces one of top turrets and the other replaces [[AAAf]] on the left broadside. Because the corvette is not beam-freed, it never uses this custom setup against Psamtik or any other ship.

However, ~~because~~ the transports in question do not have jump drives, they must be protected by the remnants of its escort and Alpha wing until a recovery ship ~~arrives~~.		Admiral Petrarch, Commanding Officer of the GTD ''Aquitaine'', welcomes new squadrons from [[Vega]] joining the flagship of the [[GTVA]] 3rd Fleet. The Admiral also provides a situation update on the ongoing threat of the [[Neo-Terran Front]], with the Alliance's focus of operations currently on the [[Epsilon Pegasi]], [[Alpha Centauri]], and [[Deneb]] systems, which are adjacent to the NTF-controlled systems of [[Polaris]], [[Sirius]], and [[Regulus]], and are under risk of being overrun by the rebels.

			The ''Aquitaine'' has been deployed to reinforce the Vasudan 13th Battle Group, led by the GVD ''Psamtik'', in the [[Deneb]] system, where fierce fighting between the Alliance and rebels has resulted in the loss of the GVC ''Andromeda'', GTC ''Trafalgar'', and over 15 fighter wings in just 22 hours. Allied Command believes that the ''Aquitaine'''s arrival will break the stalemate and compel the rebels to withdraw their forces from the system.

			Vasudans are evacuating their colonies on [[Cygnus Prime]], a planet in Deneb, in transports. One of the refugee convoys leaving the planet sent out a distress signal, which the Vasudans responded to by deploying a wing of fighters. This wing has just requested for reinforcements, so Alpha wing of the 53rd is sent in to reinforce the Vasudans and escort the convoy. However, the transports in question do not have jump drives, so they must be protected by the remnants of its escort and Alpha wing until a recovery ship is deployed to receive them.
