Nothing too griping in the story and the missions really didn’t stand out for me.

This is another solid creation of one of many of Dempsey's. It offers some tricky missions, away from the classic kill'em all usually found throughout the compendium. Mag Pulses will become useful now and then, and the final mission is really a feat of tactics and picking the adequate loadout. A very good battle if not for some minor flaws, such as flying asteroid laser batteries and the initial bug of mission 1 which I managed to bypass by disabling the Backdrop option in the video features. Entangled, wriggling and tricky. Challenging.

Actually this one is to report a bug in first mission like everybody else did, but also being able to bypass it and fly the mission, by setting Backdrop option to Off. I hope it helps future players.

As with others, game crashes immediately upon exiting Hyperspace on Mission 1.

I am having the same issue that Pete is having. It crashes after the first jump on all difficulty levels.

Mission 1 crashes as soon as I come out of hyperspace after the first jump. This happens on all difficulty levels.

Mission 1: Hostile X-Wings (blue IFF) have no orders.

Mission 3: Void Raptor Z-95s have no orders. Stargalaxy backdrops glitching in front of gas giant.

Mission 4: LC Polo in briefing instead of COL Polo. ISD Hammer collides with Shipyard base, causing the loss of the ship and mission failure.

Introduction
------------
This battle was constructed as part of The Karana Initiative.

High Admiral Bonini has accumulated a number of ships and set off to engage a prticularly nasty
group of outlaws. Accompanied by the Tactical Officer, and the best pilots he could gather, he
has taken the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer Hammer to the Karana cluster. Cut off from the
rest of the Emperor's Hammer, his mission is simple: bring an end to these outlaws!
