===== Missionsbriefing =====

| 1 | Brothers and sisters, today will be the day when we avenge the death of the Apesokari. The souls who died onboard the destroyer will rest in peace when their murderer, the Demon, has been slain. Thanks to the sensor sweep performed last cycle, we have located the Demon. The ship is still here in Verbek, within reach of our vengeance. It is currently in orbit around the only planet in the system, a gas giant. No doubt it is trying to hide from us and lick its wounds, but our sensors have found it nonetheless.  |
| 2 | The Demon is well protected. Currently she resides behind four vessels: the Lilith-class cruiser Abhidi, the Cain-class cruisers Yadva and Depta and the Moloch-class corvette Paresh. Altogether, this makes for a considerable fleet. But with the Akrotiri, we have the firepower to destroy it and emerge victorious. |
| 3 | You are tasked with destroying the four escorting vessels. Thus, you will clear the path for the Akrotiri, which will destroy the Demon. It is crucial that the escort vessels be destroyed before they can close in on the Akrotiri; Shivan warships - especially the Lilith and the Moloch - have proven to be very powerful, and especially so when operating in groups. |
| 4 | When the escorting vessels are destroyed, we can bring to bear the full firepower of the Akrotiri. Under this barrage, the Demon cannot hope to survive for long. Chances are that it will call for reinforcements$semicolon in that case, it will be your job to destroy them as well. \\ \\ The destruction of the Demon will win Verbek for our Race, and we will make the Shivans suffer the same loss as they have inflicted on us. They will regret this day. |

| 1 | Our plan worked flawlessly. The Demon has been destroyed. The souls of those that died aboard the Apesokari have found vengeance, and they can now rest in peace. For your efforts in this endeavour, brothers and sisters, you are awarded this medal, lest anyone forget what we have accomplished today. \\ \\ We have deprived the Shivans of their most powerful vessel in Verbek. All that remains now are mere corvettes and cruisers. This pathetic force will not stand up long to the guns of our warships. The battle for Verbek is almost over, pilots, and it is about to be decided in our favour. The Shivans do not stand a fighting chance.   | |
| 2 | The Akrotiri has fallen to enemy fire. Instead of avenging the loss of the Apesokari, we now mourn many more deaths of our Race. Meanwhile, the Demon is still out there, watching, waiting for a good time to attack us and drive us out of Verbek. \\ \\ Our analysts believe that, should the cannons of the escort have been silenced earlier, this disaster would not have happened. Aleph, you were tasked with destroying the warships escorting the Demon. You have failed this mission. This incompetence cannot be allowed in a frontline fleet like ours. You will be transferred back to Sopul, where you will be flying transports as of next cycle. Farewell.  | U fail. I mean, seriously. What the hell? This doesn't even happen when you don't do a thing! |
| 3 | The Demon, although damaged, escaped our assault. It is now aware that we want to destroy it. There is no doubt that it shall be better prepared to receive our next attack. Meanwhile, it is still out there, watching, waiting for a good time to attack us and drive us out of Verbek. \\ \\ The Demon was able to escape us because its engines were not disabled in time. Aleph wing, you were tasked with doing this, and you failed. This incompetence cannot be allowed in a frontline fleet like ours. You will be transferred back to Sopul, where you will be flying transports as of next cycle. Farewell. |
| 4 | It is unfortunate, however, that you were unable to destroy all of the Shivan escort vessels. Had you tried harder, you would surely have succeeded in that task. But regardless, those ships are now heavily damaged, and they will pose no great problem during subsequent operations. | Try disabling them? |
| 5 | You also managed to destroy each and every one of the escort vessels. Those four ships will never again pose a threat to our Fleet or any of our Race. You are to be commended for your perseverance and sense of duty in achieving this feat. | |

===== Bemerkungen =====

Eine ganz klassische Bombermission, wo die richtige Nutzung der Kommandogewalt über den Ausgang der Mission entscheidet. Wer wirklich das Bonusziel erreichen will, muss sich hier tatsächlich anstrengen, denn mit der Zerstörung der Demon springt die Eskorte fort. In dieser Mission herrscht entsprechender recht knapper Zeitdruck.

Es kann tatsächlich vorkommen, dass die Demon direkt durch Treffer der Akrotiri lahmgelegt wird, in vielen Fällen wird das Triebwerk hingegen stark beschädigt, wodurch es mit einer einzelnen Bombe oder sogar Geschützsalven schnell ausgeschaltet werden kann. In anderen Versuchen kann es dagegen auch passieren, dass das Triebwerk nahezu unbeschädigt bleibt. Die Schwierigkeit des Primärziels schwankt, vor allem auf höheren Schwierigkeitsstufen, ziemlich stark entsprechend eines gewissen Zufalls in dieser Mission.
