Description:
------------
BATTLE SUMMARY: Eons-old Lyccos II alien ruins are to be studied, collected and catalogued by Imperial 
scientists and anthropologists in the yawning caverns of the conquered planet. The pillaging of the barbaric 
world, the utter subjugation of its peoples and the expropriation of its ancient secrets and riches must be 
completed without interference. Infiltrator Wing will maintain space superiority at Lyccos II through the 
remainder of this extensive operation

CONTINUITY NOTE: This battle and its two companion battles are set in the time 
period of the aftermath of IW operations vs. the Rebel Squadrons in progress as 
of August 1998.

BUG NOTE: When Mission 3 begins loading in TIE CD, you may get a disk error 
message. Hit F for fail and it will load normally. This Battle is not 
recommended for TIE disk users because it uses asteroid platforms, which default 
to PLTs in the disk version and therefore the missions do not run true to their 
intent.

DIFFICULTY NOTE: Play these missions on Hard setting, but if you find Mission 4 
to be too difficult, fly it on Medium setting.

FILES NEEDED, ETC.: This TIE Fighter battle uses custom Rebel ships, allowing 
the pilot to fly the X-wing. B-wing, etc. Download the ship files, Tiepatch and 
any other needed files from the Emperors Hammer (www.emperorshammer.org) or the 
Infiltrator Wing (www.infiltratorwing.org) domain pages. NOTE: For what it's 
worth, in the X-wing Collectors Series version of TIE, I found that I did not 
need to run Tiepatch with it. All I did was load all the appropriate special 
ship files in the appropriate folders and the game ran the Rebel ships fine.

MISSION 1 INFO: X-wing Silver is overseeing operations at a transit point near 
Lyccos II where Emperors Hammer heavy lifters are due to pick up cargo craft 
carrying treasures our anthropologists have "acquired" from troves of riches in 
the conquered cavern states of the planet. The transits are being observed by 
organized crime bosses of one of the cavern states who have decided to cooperate 
with our campaign rather than continue the folly of opposing the IW's 
determination and might.

BRIEFING: Shoot first if any unauthorized craft enter the area. Our schedules 
for looting all the cavern states will not allow any complications. Forces of 
the Bismarck must ensure smooth operations.

SHIP USED: X-wing Silver (3), MC-90 Bismarck, A-wing ??, HLF Anteater (5), 
M/CVYR Crypt (5), B-wing Vulture (2), CRV Hurn, CRV Grodan, R-41 Fogger (2), A-
wing Ripper, A-wing Magenta, X-wing Cavern 21.

GOALS: HLFs, M/CVYRs, CRVs must complete mission. Bonus: All enemies destroyed.

MISSION 2 INFO: B-wing Vulture must disable two Outlaw CRVs we have detected 
near an asteroid field. The crews are intelligence officers whose heads contain 
the information we need to root out remaining resistance in the Lyccosian arena. 
Clean this up fast so there are no complications for the expected arrival of INT 
Vernichtung and the SSSD Sovereign; cover the arrival of IW and EH leaders' 
shuttles to the Bismarck for a high-level strategy conference.

BRIEFING: Vulture must cover a lot of ground to capture the CRVs and protect our 
leaders' craft. Two other IW starfighter groups will assist.
