Mission 1:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"Lord Vader has discovered the location of Harkov's traitorous fleet.  With their leader gone, Harkov's men are bent on turning their fleet over to the Rebels.  As the first step in destroying Harkov's fleet, the Interdictor Harpax will hyperspace into the Ottega system and use its gravity well generators to trap Harkov's flagship the Victory class Star Destroyer Protector.  Our reconnaissance flights report that the Protector is currently taking on Rebel supplies.  Your mission is to take out the Rebel cargo containers near the Protector and protect the Harpax from counterattack.

Your craft will also be equipped with a tractor beam weapon.  This weapon, when turned on with the 'B' key, will prevent your targeted craft from maneuvering out of your sights."


Mission 2:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"The Harpax, in its attempt to pin down the forces that Harkov used to command, has put itself in a precarious position.  Harkov's old flagship, the Protector, the Frigate Akaga, and the Rebel commanded Lt.  Cruiser Warhawk are all closing in to finish the Harpax off.  Your mission goal is to attack the Frigate Akaga, thus buying some time until Lord Vader can arrive in the Imperial Star Destroyer Garrett."


Mission 3:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"The defecting forces led by VSD Protector and their Rebel allies are all to be destroyed.

You will be able to reload via Transport CUV 18f1.  TIE Advanced group Gamma will make rocket attacks against the enemy starships, while TIE Advanced group Theta deals with any enemy fighters."

DARK BROTHERHOOD:
"Stay alert to new developments. Be prepared to take the initiative when appropriate."


Mission 4:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"To rendezvous with Modified Frigate Osprey en route to Coruscant to warn the Emperor of Zaarin's treachery.  Your superior combat skills have earned you the great honor of being personally selected by Lord Vader to accompany him on this mission.  You will be responsible for ensuring Lord Vader's success!

Lord Vader will pilot Delta 6, but you will command the flight group.  A word of advice:  don't issue any inflight orders to the Dark Lord!"

DARK BROTHERHOOD:
"In the event of an ambush you will have to fight your way out. Nothing must stop Lord Vader from reaching the Emperor."


Mission 5:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"Admiral Zaarin has committed the ultimate deceit.  While feigning support in the battle against Harkov's forces, Zaarin is attempting to overthrow the Emperor by abducting him from his Imperial Star Destroyer at Coruscant.  You must locate and save the Emperor.  Inspect all craft until you find the one that is carrying the Emperor.  Then disable the craft so it can be boarded.  The loyal Vice Admiral Thrawn will arrive to help in the effort to save the Emperor.

Lord Vader will oversee the action in his TIE Defender, designated Alpha 4. Be sure to follow any of his orders."

Debriefings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mission 1:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"We destroyed Harkov's resupply efforts and staved off the first wave of their attack on the Interdictor Harpax.  Get back to the briefing room as soon as possible, as the Harpax in perilous straits!  It is surrounded by the Protector, the Rebel Lt.  Cruiser Warhawk and a defecting frigate, the Akaga."


Mission 2:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"Excellent work!  We destroyed the Frigate Akaga and bought a little more time for the Harpax. The Imperial Star Destroyer Garrett commanded by Darth Vader himself has arrived to take charge of finishing off Harkov's fleet and putting an end to this mass defection."


Mission 3:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"We eliminated the defector's flagship.  At the same time we ensured the survival of Lord Vader's ship.
The arrival of Admiral Zaarin's forces on our enemies' side can mean only one thing.  Admiral Zaarin is moving against the Emperor! 
Lord Vader is determined to return to Coruscant to warn the Emperor if there is still time.

The Garrett has suffered some critical damage and can't make it. There is hope, however, because Lord Vader had transferred the new TIE Defender prototypes to this ship in the hope of conducting operational trials with them.  This isn't the kind of test he had in mind, but they are the only craft available that could make it in time.  You have been selected to lead the effort!  Lord Vader will accompany you."

DARK BROTHERHOOD:
"You helped destroy all of the forces Admiral Zaarin sent against us."


Mission 4:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"We broke through the trap laid for us by Admiral Zaarin."

DARK BROTHERHOOD:
"You helped destroy the Interdictor cruiser Admiral Zaarin had hoped to trap us with."


Mission 5:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"You have rescued the Emperor and saved the Empire!  The mutineer, Admiral Zaarin, was able to escape, though Vice Admiral Thrawn followed his starship into hyperspace.  We can only guess at what provoked Zaarin to attempt his coup d'etat.  Hopefully we can gain some answers when Thrawn tracks him down.  For now, Emperor Palpatine and Lord Vader are pleased that Imperial order has been restored.  Your efforts and accomplishments in the past battles have been impressive.  You have proved to be one of the greatest Imperial Navy starfighter pilots!"

Mission Hints:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mission 1:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"Immediately head for the Rebel containers, destroying them as quickly as possible.  Be wary of the laser batteries from the Protector.  Dogfight with the Protector's starfighters only until the Rebel cruiser arrives.  It launches a barrage of Z-95s and X-wings against the Harpax.  Don't let them take it down."


Mission 2:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"Attack the frigate immediately. Drop your bombs at a distance and move out of their flight path.  If you miss with the first set of bombs, be sure to request a rearming from your reload craft. Keep an eye on the Harpax as well."


Mission 3:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"If CRL Warhawk is present, take it out first.  Otherwise, go directly after VSD Protector.  Fire all of your torpedoes as soon as you're within range, then turn back for a reload.  Remember to try and take out your target's armament first."

DARK BROTHERHOOD:
"The Modified Corvettes can be destroyed with 4 advanced torpedoes.  By the time Corvettes arrive you will undoubtedly be out of warheads.  Be sure to rearm from Transport CUV 18f1."


Mission 4:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"Launch your torpedoes at Interdictor Harpago as soon as you're in range.  Then take out the Gunboats as quickly as you can."

DARK BROTHERHOOD: 
"Use your torpedoes early and order your wingmen to attack the Interdictor.  Take out the Gunboats as quickly as you can to keep them from breaking up your wingmen's torpedo runs."
 

Mission 5:
----------
FLIGHT OFFICER:
"Order your wingmen to attack Zaarin's TIE Advanced starfighters. This will give you the breathing room you need to inspect the escort shuttles.  As soon as you find the one that is carrying the Emperor, disable it.  Your wingmen's zeal to attack the escort shuttles may get the better of them, so use Shift I to order them to ignore the Emperor's shuttle."
