First off, I'm very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have served the Immortal as its Commodore, and honored that Ender thought to use my appointment as the subject of a terrific battle. Eternally grateful for both.
Like many battles with patches, this battle's primary purpose is to showcase its patched ships. In that respect I'd say it does a wonderful job - I very much enjoyed flying both the TIE Experimental Mk.I and Toscan Fighter. Thought they looked great and were fun to play, and their inclusion is a wonderful ode to the legacy of Demon Squadron and Vampire Squadron.
As a battle, I think it plays out great. Fun briefings, great plot, solid mission design. My only complaint would be that it wasn't particularly clear to me that disabling the Modified Strike-class Cruiser in Mission #3 would fall to my flight group until I saw it hyper away. But that's a nitpick. For this one, I will lean on the side of my bias and give it full marks. Loved it!

Story Line ---------- 1. Colonel Locke Setzer of Tempest Squadron has been appointed the new Commodore of the ISDII Immortal. The ISDII Challenge has dropped him off at a Customs Base in the Aurora Prime system, where he will be picked up by the VSD Ravager of the Immortal Battlegroup. The first flight of Demon Squadron has been dropped off by the FRG Perseus to escort the newly appointed Rear Admiral from the station to the VSD Ravager. Until that ship arrives it will assist the base by doing some customs checks on the passing freighters and transports. The whole operation should be done in less than ten minutes. No trouble is to be expected 2. We want to know how the Rebels found out that our new Commodore was waiting for the Ravager at the Aurora XII customs base. For this we will check out our usual sources in the underground: the scum that is entertained at "Dunari's Casino". Since these "Free Traders" don't like the Empire much and we want to keep our sources in tact we cannot go there with our regular force for such operations. For this we have repainted a Vampire Squadron Toscan Fighter to look like the ones used by Pirates and such. You are to go to the Casino, spend some money and keep your eyes peeled. We are especially interested in what happens at the Casino itself and on any Starships that might be around. In case you do need help we have another Vampire Flight standing by to assist... 3. While Vampire Squadron was investigating Dinari's Casino, the VSD Ravager was pulled out of hyperspace by a Rebel Modified Strike Cruiser and ambushed by a Calamari Cruiser. Help in the form of the ISDII Immortal is under way, but until it arrives the Ravager will be dependant of the defence that Demon Squadron can deliver. We know now that the traitor is the captain of the Frigate Perseus, who craved the position of Commodore himself. His crew is probably supporting him because they all wanted to move up a step as well. Lately there has been critism from these ship crews about the fact that the fighter pilots of the TIE Corps "always get the good jobs". His force however consists of just a single Frigate and he only has one squadron left. Unless he gets amnesty from the New Republic he won't stand much of a chance. The High Court of Inquisitors is already investigating the case. 4. Letting the traitor shuttle escape was a good idea, it was followed by the ESC Trantor and Vampire Squadron and brought us to the lone FRG Perseus. After what happened in the last few missions the Rebels have apparently dropped its crew like a brick and its all alone now. Vampire Squadron is to disable the Frigate Perseus and destroy its fighter defences. The ISDII Immortal is under way to assist but might take a few minutes to arrive, do not let any of the Traitors escape - We want them brought to justice, the HCI way. NOTE ------------------- You need TIE95 (or at least all the ships involved there) AND the TOS, T/e1 and M/SC Patches. Other Information ----------------- This is the First release of a quickly made battle.
