Description:


Mission 1:
	You are to patrol the area around the PLT Dagger, while some new tactics are being tested. While on patrol you get attacked by rebels, which is most intriguing, since this station is supposed to be secret.
	Your craft - TIE Interceptor

Mission 2:
	After calculating the hyperspace path of some of the fleeing ships, we have located a rebel frigate from where they have been launched. You must hyper in and eliminate it to secure the platform. The rebel commodore must be captured so we could find out how the heck they learned of our position.
	Your craft - Assault Gunboat.

Mission 3:
	The captured command staff has yielded information on a cloaked rebel platform in a relative proximity of the PLT Dagger. It must be neutralised at all costs; it is still a mystery how they managed to construct a platform under our nose. In this first phase of attack you must eliminate the starfighter defences. Modified Interdictor Harpax II will arrive to trap the rebels and take command of the operation. As the mission progresses, the tide turns when a CRL enters the area with it’s escorts.
	We already encountered this rebel cloaking technology. It appears that when exposed to Interdictor’s gravity wells, cloaking generators overload, and de-cloak.
	Your craft - TIE Advanced.

Mission 4:
	Two Victory class star destroyers have been assigned to this operation. They will eliminate the CRL threat, while you and other starfighters eliminate rebel starfighters and escorts. As the CRL gets destroyed, M/INT Harpax II re-enters the battle-zone. When the PLT gets de-cloaked, you must eliminate it. As the rebel commodore flees the area, VSD Leviathan menages to capture it with a tractor beam.
	Your craft - TIE Advanced

Mission 5:
	You are to patrol the area near the remains of the rebel base and wait until ISD Subjugator arrives with the Dark Jedi who will interrogate the captured rebels. When the ISD Subjugator arrives, a rebel cruiser enters the area, and both VSD commodores defect to the rebels.
	Your craft - TIE Advanced

Mission 6:
	Let the games begin! ISD Subjugator had to retreat to avoid certain destruction, that needless to say caused quite a few  on the bridge. Now it’s payback time. We must patrol all the nearby area, to find them. Failure to comprehend them will not be tolerable. 
	We have managed to put a tracking device on the VSD Leviathan before it escaped, but all the sudden while we were preparing for an assault it simply disappeared from our sensors. They must have another cloaking device! You will hyper in the area and do your best to keep them occupied while the INT is on its way to capture them.
	Your craft - TIE Advanced

Mission 7:	
        This is unbelievable! Rebels built another cloaked PLT here. Now it is time to destroy them. Everything and everyone is to be completely annihilated. Entire battle group 1 has been mobilised and will join us soon. 
        May the darkness protect you!
        Your craft: Missile boat
