ACT 3 - MISSION 40

Fighter squadron: 74th Templars

Description: The EACa Virgil, an old Auriga-class carrier slated for conversion into a kamikaze, has come under attack, and Alpha 1 must deploy to save it.

Background

The good news is that the EtaK strike in Viribus Unitis was successful, and the SSJ Anathema is no longer making for the Sol Gate. The bad news is that it's decided to proceed towards Capella instead.

The one bright spot to this is, Doctor Jaycee and Professor Magrino have figured out a plan to destroy the Anathema. The plan requires a capital ship loaded with Attila bombs to kamikaze the Anathema while in subspace. One of the ships slated for kamikaze conversion, the EACa Virgil, has come under attack.

Walkthrough

This is a straightforward intercept mission, requiring you to defend the Virgil while it repairs its engines and makes for the jump node to Vega. After the Virgil is out of danger, the GTC Nehalennia emerges from subspace, badly damaged and making for Beta Aquilae as well. The same rules apply for defending the Nehalennia: prioritize bombers, bombs, and heavy assault fighters. If you save the Nehalennia, you get a secondary objective; if you scan the Nehalennia, you get a bonus objective.

Once the Virgil departs (and Nu wing arrives to cover the Nehalennia) proceed to the jump node and warp out.

Notes

• Virgil, writer of "The Aeneid," was the Roman poet who was Dante's guide through Hell in "Inferno," the first part of Dante's "Divine Comedy."
