	Although you reassure yourself that your training, as well as the fact that your Uncle Manuel~~, as well as~~ Kassim, will keep you alive, and that your death would be a quick one if you fail to survive your first sortie, you still cannot help but wonder what would happen if you ''do'' survive, and whether you would be laughing over the deaths of your own species with Kassim post-mission.		Although you reassure yourself that your training, as well as the fact that your Uncle Manuel and brother Kassim will keep you alive, and that your death would be a quick one if you fail to survive your first sortie, you still cannot help but wonder what would happen if you ''do'' survive, and whether you would be laughing over the deaths of your own species with Kassim post-mission.

	You look back at your roots. You were born on Earth, raised by your parents on Earth, and taught the philosophies of Ubuntu, the belief that every life in the universe, roach or human, friend or foe, was sacred, and that destroying another's life will cause you to lose a part of your soul. This is a far cry from what you were taught in the academy, where you were trained to perceive the enemy as a machine, a lifeless and flawless object to be destroyed.		You look back at your roots.

	Not too long after you logged this entry, Admiral Byrne sends a communique throughout the ''Solaris'', confirming the rumours that Jupiter has fallen to the Alliance after an eighteen-month standoff. The Jovian government has surrendered under threat of orbital bombardment. Byrne gives a summary of the final series of events, as well as its implications of what this loss has: by successfully capturing Jupiter's infrastructure and gate network intact, the Alliance now has the foothold they need to wage a full-scale war on the Federation.

	Your primary objective in this mission is to protect the civilian convoy until they reach the Mars Belt Gate. Your secondary objective is to make sure that both the ''Ironhide'' and ''Suffron'' make the jump to Mars~~. You accomplish a bonus objective available if you prevent the loss of any ship in the convoy~~.		Your primary objective in this mission is to protect the civilian convoy until they reach the Mars Belt Gate. Your secondary objective is to make sure that both the ''Ironhide'' and ''Suffron'' make the jump to Mars.

			You can only pilot the [[UEF Uhlan\|UEF ''Uhlan'']] on this mission. The default loadout, consisting of two banks of [[Vulcan]]s, two banks of [[Javelin\|Javelin aspect-seeking missiles]] and a bank of [[Hellfire Missile\|Hellfire dumbfire missiles]], will suffice, but you also have the option of using the [[Maul]], a slightly more powerful cannon that sacrifices energy efficiency and refire rate for greater damage per shot, as well as the [[Dirk\|Dirk aspect-seeking swarm missile]].

As you jump in, you see the convoy under attack from a wing of four [[GTF Hercules Mark II\|''Hercules Mark II'' heavy assault fighters]] and a wing of four [[GTF Myrmidon\|''Myrmidon'' space superiority fighters]]. The Hercs will gang up on the ''Argent Mist'', a [[UEFr Demeter\|''Demeter''-class freighter]], and unless you are very good with UEF weapons, it is unlikely that you can save the ''Argent Mist'' even on the easiest difficulty level. The ''Myrmidon'' fighters will gang up on the ''Ironhide'' but will get turned inside out regardless of whether you assist the cruiser or not. Destroy all of them as quickly as you can and form up on the convoy.

			The ''Ironhide'' and ''Suffron'' are not happy. Prior to this, they lost two ships to previous attacks on the convoy because of a lack of fighter cover.

			After a fairly lengthy dialogue, in which the ''Suffron'' manages to keep Kassim quiet by telling him the macabre details of the UEFg ''Nelson'''s final moments, and that the ''Suffron'' was the only ship that escaped the carnage, the second attack wave, consisting of two wings, jumps in. The first comprises of four [[PTF Kulas\|''Kulas'' interceptors]]. The second comprises of three [[GTB Artemis\|''Artemis'' strike bombers]]. The bombers are equipped with the [[GTW Maxim\|Maxim anti-hull cannon]]. Dump all power to engines and intercept them as soon as you can. Each bomber will target one of the ''Sigma'' transports, and it is impossible to reach them fast enough to stop them from unleashing a barrage of Maxim fire unless you position yourself so that you are less than 200m away from their warp-in point, so as you speed towards them, watch the hull integrity of ''Sigmas 1'', ''2'' and ''3'' plummet. When you are done, assist the cruisers in taking out the ''Kulas'' fighters.

	As the convoy gets to within a few thousand klicks of the Mars gate, the third attack wave jumps in some 9000 meters away.
