			*Available ships: Apollo, Valkyrie.

			A recommended ship is the GTF Valkyrie with both banks of Avengers with Fury missiles. (For all wingmen, they should all carry full Avengers, there's enough for the whole team.)

	This is one of the first hard missions -- unless you read note 2 below. At first all will be quiet, then two wings consisting of two Basilisks (Arjuna wing) will jump in, followed by the Andromeda, Omega 1-3, and Rho wing (consisting of one single fighter). The Andromeda will call for assistance as Hammer of Light forces have already damaged it down to the mid thirties.<br>		This is one of the first hard missions -- unless you read note 2 below.

	Quickly order Rho wing to protect Cargo Gamma and ignore the Andromeda's pleas. If you save it you do not receive anything, plus it's extremely tough to do anyway. Just let the two wings of Hammer of Light ships toy around with it and then they won't hurt you. Quite soon after the Andromeda is attacked, Krishna wing will arrive.

	This mission can be frustratingly difficult on any level of difficulty above Very Easy, if you are playing it in [[FSPort]] and trying to get ~~you~~ medal by saving every piece of cargo. (Missiles behave differently in FSO compared to the original FS1) In particular - the moment, when Gamma is attacked by 2 wings of fighters, one after another. There is almost no way of stopping them from launching the amount of missiles that will be sufficient enough to vaporise your precious Gamma. The following tactics works best here. Order all your wingmen to protect the first transport ( the one, that's carrying Alpha ). Then, when the Krishna wing warps in - start dropping countermeasures between them, and the Gamma. Ideally you'll want to lay on the same course as Krishna, between them and Gamma ( in front of Krishna and the missiles of course ) - and start flying towards the Gamma dropping CMS, and let your ~~wingman~~ do the killing. It may take a couple of attempts to figure out how to do this effectively, but if you do it right, it will become quite easy. Bear in mind, that you will not have time to rearm before the second wing of Krishna arrives, so use countermeasures wisely. You can repeat this tactics when Rama wings tries to destroy Alpha, but it is essentially not that hard, as the Krishna one.

	For a little bit of humour; if any of the Omega ships survive the initial skirmish, you can race to the Arcada installation after the mission objectives are complete and watch their strangely hypnotic Self-Immolation Death Ritual™, when they're trying to occupy the same infinitesimally small amount of space, slamming into each other until all but one of them are dead. The Andromeda will jump out normally. For the Vasudan Death Dance™ to commence, at least two of the Omega ships must make it to the installation.

Regis: Tried with the latest stable FS2open builds, and with the latest nighly ones to date ( July 2nd, 2011 ) It is still ridiculosly hard, and i think this paragraph deserves to be here.

	Also note that on easier difficulty settings the mission is another self-playing one. If you do not feel like playing the mission yourself, you can let the FreeSpace engine take care of it for you. Just point your ship in any direction -- away from the jump node is the recommended heading -- and engage full thrusters and time compression. The game will play the entire mission all by itself. After two minutes you ''will'' get your medal.		Also note that on easier difficulty settings the mission is another self-playing one.

	~~This mission is significantly harder in the [[FSPort]]. Even on Medium, it takes a considerable amount of skill and decent tactics to defend all the containers.~~
