Description
-----------
This mission is part of a series of free missions about each of the squadrons in the ASF doing 
missions following their squadron objective in their assigned craft. Each mission tries to give
a feel and a bit of history of each of the Squadrons. All the storylines of the missions are
interconnected and have the ASF Squadrons join together against a common foe. In storyline these
happen after the larger Wing Battles. Its is a direct follow up on "ASF: Aggression".

Story Line
----------

Mission 1: The NR-Spine Security Force patrols the Corellian Trade Spine continuously with medium sized
starships outfitted with at least a squadron each. This way their leader, the Duke of 
Perlemian, tries to secure safety for the many trade vessels on the route he has been 
assigned by the NR Admirality on Coruscant.

The TC-Aggressor Strike Force however is set on bringing the Duke into trouble with his 
superiours by sending in heavier starships outfitted with at least two but more often three 
squadrons to take out the NR-SSF patrols. TIE Corps command knows that nothing hurts the 
fragile New Republic more then the loss of ships.

Now we have the NR-SSF Frigate Trustworthy facing off with the TC-ASF Dreadnaught Calidor. 
It seems like a made case for the bigger Calidor, but both sides still have a few tricks up 
their sleeves.

----------

Mission 2: Although their main System produce is olive oil, the Genkoans have always fancied themselves
quite the weapons developers: they even competed with Incom and SFS when the Empire needed 
new equipment. However the bulky internally cooled ionengines that are the Genkoan trademark
in craft design never caught on with the larger fleets in the Galaxy.

This is why recently they have been working mostly on warhead development and production - 
something they've always found more customers for then for their fighters and cruisers. Its 
highly probable that many of the warheads you ever fired were made in the Genko System.

Intel has discovered that the Genkoans are working on a new type of warhead that will blast 
away any form of shield - even planetary ones - in one salvo. This would destabilise the 
whole Galaxy and will certainly mean victory for whoever got their hands on it first.

----------

Mission 3: After we had captured the Genkoan warhead development factory, our specialists were able to 
determine that the Genkoans have no anti-shields warhead at all... But that they are working
towards obtaining one from another system completely.

This warhead has been a myth since the development of shields centuries back, when it was 
said that a System called Geonosis had developped such a weapon... And all we were able to 
get out of the Genkoan factory was that the Genkoans have found a hidden cache of Geonosis 
Technology.

We will be going for this cache, which according to our data has been rigged with timed 
explosives so timing will be of the essence. Another thing to keep in mind is that by now 
we are not the only ones who know of this cache - and the whole Galaxy wants that warhead 
first.

----------

Mission 4: Under way to deliver the data discovered on the Geonosis warhead to Aurora Prime, the ESC 
Corrupter has been pulled out of hyperspace by a NR Spine Security Force Interdictor that 
was laying in wait near a small asteroidfield for just an ambush like this.

This seem to be the last chance for the NR-SSF to stop these plans from going to the EH 
Science Office and they seem to be set on destruction now - rather destroying these valuable
designs completely then letting them be put to use by the EH.

The Corrupter is being besieged by three squadrons and a Strike Cruiser  while the 
Interdictor stays in the cover provided by the asteroidfield. Both sides have also called 
in for reinforcements, which can arrive any moment now...

- version 2:
The original versions of these missions were released as (in battle order) XvTF113, XvTF117, 
XvTF107 and XvTF118. Besides that they were released too much out of order to make any sense 
as a continueing storyline it also appeared that not many people fly "Free's" and as such even 
noticed this "cut up battle" - while I think its not bad at all. As such I decided to re-release 
it more as a complete package now, about 3 years later, but this time for X-Wing Alliance. 

The original idea for the battle was to have a set of missions about the larger ASF escortships
(VSD, INT, ESC, DREAD) focussed on becoming a equally balanced combat missions - meaning it could
be played from both Rebel and Imperial side in XvT MP Combat. This means that each mission has about
equal forces on both sides. To do this I ignored the official craft types of the ASF squadrons
here and there. The squadrons used in each mision ARE connected to the ship in question though.
I also aimed not to use any patches, as that is typically too much bother when doing MP. This means
that the battle is low on craft types, since XvT doesn't have that many different craft standard.

The battle has had a bit more updating then just the conversion from XvT to XWA, because I wanted to
make use of the fuller options XWA offers me. However I did not just add XWA features for the heck of
it, but tried to keep the feel of the original XvT-Free's - obviously I ignored the MP elements.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it this time.  :)
