It's a phenomenal conclusion (for now...) to a series that has just been an absolute delight, from start to finish. Suitably epic, with perhaps just a bit more difficulty here than the previous entries (appropriate for a finale), I think this battle is tremendous highlight of what X-Wing Alliance can be at its best.
If you're not using the WAV files though, you're really missing out! There's a moment in Mission #3 that may be one of my all-time favorites of any mission in the compendium, and I don't know that it would hit as hard without the audio accompaniment

At first I wasn't going to post reviews of my own battles, but as Frodo would have said PAR!
I think this is a great battle and well balanced on Easy and Medium, with it being a tad on the hard side on Hard. The intent of the battle is for you to use the reinforcements when they are available, but to each their own. I think it was a good ending to the saga.
Stay tuned for the next major campaign ;-)

This is an incredibly impressive end to the saga and the missions themselves are extremely well designed with unique tricks that make them
simply outstanding. Mission 1 for example is something I have never seen before. You wont be disappointed.

Mission 2: Krayt Dragon misspelled as Kryat Dragon. Message about returning to base plays before the last primary objective of destroying the CRL Valiant is accomplished.

Introduction ------------- The Expanded Universe has held a special place in many of our hearts and minds, me especially. One of my favorite book series was the X-Wing Series by Michael A Stackpole and Aaron Allison. It was these stories that motivated me to pick up X-Wing Alliance back in the early 2000's. Here I set out to make a series of 4 battles retelling the battles and story of the initial four books of the X-Wing series. This battle is based upon the story laid out in the book X-Wing: The Bacta War by Michael A Stackpole. The events of the book have necessarily changed due to the Emperor’s Hammer's involvement during the previous three books, see XWA-TC 70, XWA-TC 71, and XWA-TC 72. From our first Battle with them, Rogue Squadron's attempt to take Borleias to be a staging point for their attack on Coruscant failed due to the TIE Corps timely intervention. And things were looking like they would continue with the Emperor's Hammer's, and by extension the Empires, continued dominance over the New Republic. But the New Republic deceived the Empire's Intelligence Division and our forces were drawn into two feint attacks, allowing the bulk of the New Republic's forces to attack and capture Coruscant. We were rightly humbled by this turn of events and searched for ways to support Isard's Empire in its effort to topple the New Republic and retake Coruscant. We settled upon interdicting the flow of many large bacta shipments to Coruscant. Both for our use and to deny them from the desperate New Republic. At the same time, we came into repeated conflicts with the forces of Warlord Zsinj, culminating with his attack on our staging ground and our quick punitive reprisal. TIE Corps Command has declared that we are at war with Warlord Zsinj and we are making plans for his destruction. Soon after Zsinj's attack on us we received calls for aid from Director Ysanne Isard and when we arrived at Coruscant we found her SSD Lusankya fighting to escape the planet and the New Republic's forces. We came to her aid and traveled with her to the Polith System and the planet of Thyferra, the source of almost all bacta in the galaxy. Her allies on the planet had already led a coup and captured the planet's government, installing Isard as the planet's leader. We are now aiding Isard in the Polith System per our mission to bring about the destruction of the New Republic.
