	With the agility of the [[GTF Perseus]], you can easily reach the hostile [[GTB Zeus\|''Zeus'' bombers]] before they launch their warheads at the station. Even if they do so, you can destroy the bombs by shooting them; destroy them by sight or use your Bomb or Target in Reticle keys to target them (B and Y respectively, by default). Several waves of hostile bombers and fighters will keep jumping in, but their focus is on attacking the installation, so they should not pose too much of danger to you. Concentrate on intercepting the bombers and any warheads they launch.

	You should destroy the ''Cato'''s main beam cannon to prevent it from dangerously damaging the station. The Tempest missile is of good use here. Fire at will while the beam cannon is in your reticle, and once the beam cannon is down, the ''Cato'' is barely worth your time. You may not have time to destroy it in any case because enemy bombers will soon jump in and attack the station. You should then divert all your power to engines and approach the bombers.

	* The ''Cato'' occasionally does not hit the ''Calypso'' with its first beam salvo.

	* You may wish to destroy the Fusion Mortar on the ''Cato''. In the time it takes to recharge the main beam cannon of the ''Cato'', the Mortar can actually do around as much damage.		* You may wish to destroy the Fusion Mortar on the ''Cato''.
