Prologue:   You are flying a TIE Defender designated Delta-1.  You are part of a strike team that lead an assault against a Rebel weapons cache.  The Rebels were handily defeated and the weapons were confiscated.  The stockpile of weapons is large and the cargo vesels sent to haul them away cannot get all of them.  Rather than wait for another group of freighters to arrive, your commander orders that the remaining weapons be loaded aboard the starfighters.  Your TIE Defender is loaded with a consignment of mag-pulse torpedoes, and you download the navigational coordinates for the Imperial holding area  Unbeknownst to anyone, one of the mag-pulse torpedoes you are carrying is damaged.  Just as you enter hyperspace, the warhead misfires; shorting out your hyperdrive motivator, and killing your engines.  You hurtle through hyperspace out of control -- without a clue of where you will end up or even if you will survive this strange jump.  You never thought it would end like this...


Mission #1:  Arrival
	Your TIE Defender spins into what appears to be normal space.  Your navigational computer is not functioning, and the hyperdrive is out.  Visual scans indicate that you are in the middle of an asteroid field ?!?  You attempt to restart your engines and are successful.  Two Corvettes with an Assault Gunboat escort hyper in nearby.  You never thought that you would be glad to see an old gunboat.  They will be able to tell you where you are. However, all is not as it seems.

Mission #2:  Raid On Shipping
	At the end of your last mission, you are taken aboard the Imperial Calamari Light Crusier Osirin and debriefed.  Being around all of these Rebel ships is unsettling, but you figure that this is probably a secret group operating out of the Infiltrator Wing.  However, the officers eye your craft suspiciously and ask you some strange questions.  "Are you a Rebel defector?" "What kind of ship is this -- some new prototype?" "Are you one of the scientists who developed this starfighter, and what are these 'mag-pulse' torpedoes?"  After a lengthy interview with flag officers and scientific personnel, the following  conclusions and observations are made: You have entered a parallel dimension through some kind of freak phenomenon during your hyperspace jump.  In this mirror universe, some things have developed quite differently.  For years, the war against the Rebels has been going badly; mostly because of antiquated tactics and lack of resources.  The Rebel League, as they are called, hails from outside this galaxy, and they have grow rich off of the wasting of countless planets.  The Rebels have superior technology and vast resources, but are poor leaders.  The Empire has retreated back towards the Inner Core, and now even that has been threatened of late.  The Emperor, still alive in this universe, is so consumed with his hatred of the Rebel League that he has taken ill.  He has entrusted his last Absolute General, Ni-nor to do what he can to save the Empire from the Rebel League.  The Empire recently began laying traps to disrupt and capture Rebel commerce, mostly out of necessity, and they have been partially successful.  Technology has also progressed differently here.  The most advanced starfighter is the Assault Gunboat.  They and swarms of T/Fs, T/Is, and T/Bs have helped the Rebels gain near supremacy in space.  The Empire, comprised mainly of races from Corellia and Mon-Calamari has a dwindling fleet of older types; the Y-wing, being the most dominant and versatile of their starfighters.  There are no B-Wings or T-Wings or even TRNs.  However, desperate times have made some interesting modifications. The lowly Z-95 has been cast in the role as a hit-and-run bomber because of its speed and availability -- in fact, Z-95 flight Mirage has attained quite a reputation for itself as a capital ship neutralizer.  Also, the YT-1300 Corellian Transport has been heavily modified for multiple roles and is the "workhorse" of the fleet.  From zero-g capture team deployments to advanced cargo handling to starfighter reloading the CORTs reign supreme.  Although they lack sufficent offensive weaponry, the CORTs make up for this with their speed and armor.  Imagine a fleet of "Millenium Falcons" -- it makes you wonder.  
	You have worked with Imperial tacticians for weeks now; showing them what would be regarded as "elementary" back home.  You have volunteered your knowledge of "Rebel" ships and helped technicians and pilots to understand the strengths and weaknesses of  these newly-captured TIEs.  Your Tie Defender is a wonder of technology for them, but they will have to gain more resources than they currently have in order to produce them in vast quanties.  The mag-pulse torpedoes seem to interest the technicians more with whispers of a "secret project."  In any event, your Tie Defender will be out of service for some time while repairs and analysises are made.
	The raids on Rebel commerce continue, and the recently captured ESC Javelin has already participated in many missions.  The Empire has a vast intelligence gathering network consisting of spies, recon patrols, etc.  It is through this network that the Empire has learned of the transport of some of the Rebel's most advanced weaponry and technology.  ESC Javelin has hypered into the suspected area where the convoy will pass near.  Sure enough, a patrol spotted the convoy: two Cargo Conveyors, escorted by two flights of Assault Gunboats.  Y-Wing Vicarious has drawn the lot of disabling the CNVYRs for capture.  Given your extensive skill with TIE craft, you have volunteered to lead a flight of TIE Fighters to help eliminate starfighter defenses and protect support ships.

Mission #3:  Pacification Attack

	Imperial raids have netted us many supplies and weapons, and the Rebel League is angered and frustrated to our delight.  Imperial technicians contiune their work on a high level secret project as well as a way to get you to your home dimension.  Recon reports learn that the Battle Station/Tech Depot KFS-3 has just received two containers of sophisticated power and mnemonic plasma conversion systems for installation onboard Rebel capital ships in this sector.  Imperial technicians desperately need these systems for our use; as well as the data tapes in the central computer of KFS-3.  CRL Osirin will hyper in the far side of the area and launch a fighter attack.  You will lead a flight of TIE Interceptors that have been modified to temporarily emit a Rebel transponder code.  We hope that the code and the diversionary attack will trick the Rebels long enough for your flight to deliver their load of heavy rockets to weaken the stations shields.  Y-W Guardian will arrive shortly to disable the station.  CORT Respite can be called to give you rocket reloads.  CORTs Download and Margo stand by to seize the data tapes and the containers.  We can only hope that our attack will be fast enough to prevent the calling of Rebel reinforcements.  The famed Z-95 Mirage flight stands by to cope with such a threat.  If the mission is sucessful, destroy the station after the data tapes have been taken.  This action will show the Rebels that we mean business.

Mission #4:  Secret Project

	You are called to join in at a high-level meeting of a few top military officials and scientists.  Security is extremely tight as the meeting room is sealed.  At long last, the Empire has gathered enough technical materials to carry out its most bodacious scheme -- the secret project.  If successful, the Empire could regain superiority in space almost overnight.  The Emperor himself  sent a communique to the meetiing wishing the project success.  Absolute General Ni-Nor explains the project:  "There are reasons not obvious that our esteemed Mon-Calamari allies vessels are of such an unorthodox design and shape.  You see, Calamari ships are not built, they are grown... they are in fact organic constucts!"  Upon hearing this, you nearly fall out of your chair with astonishment.  However unbelievable, it is true, for you learn that genetically-engineered seed pods that are planted in special mineral asteroids common around the Calamari homeworld grow into what become Calamari Crusiers.  The only drawback is time, it takes several years for even the smallest Light Cruiser to be ready.  A specially formulated seed pod schematic that would produce much faster growth has been tried before but failed because of an insufficent catalyst to initiate the regeneration sequence.  Now you learn why the technos were so interested in your mag-pulse torpedoes -- they are the perfect catalyst!  A pair of seed pods has been developed at the Calamari homeworld and will be dropped off by a pair of CARGs at the secret test area.  However, a Rebel spy was recently discovered and was silenced permanently during a hyperwave communication.  We don't know how much the spy told the Rebels, but we must continue with the test.  If the test is successful, crews from SHUs Osai and Flavia will board the pod yields and initiate final startup sequences.  You and your TIE Defender will be needed to fire a single mag-pulse torpedo at each seed pod to initiate reaction.  You will be accompanied by flights from our best A-W and Y-Wing groups.  If the situation gets out of hand, call for reiinforcements; Z-95 Mirage is standing by.  The success of this mission will determine a turning point for the Empire!

Mission #5: Stike At Sylvan IV
	The secret project results were even better than was projected!  In a matter of weeks, the Imperial fleet grows to numbers greater than before the Rebel League conflict.  Through continued hijacking of Rebel starfighters, either those in transit or those at outlying Rebel shipyards, can the hangars of the Imperial Calamari be filled.  However, the process is much too slow, and the Rebels are developing strategies to counter our hit - grab - run tactics.  What is needed is a surplus of collateral and galaxy credits to finance Imperial industrial expansion.  The Imperial Intelligence Division has located through its spy and computer networks several targets.  The most interesting of these is the Rebel League Treasury & Collateral Exchange Outpost  Wilhelm    ( designated Wilhelm after the name of an early Rebel pirate turned capitalist, Wilhelm Solo).  The only major problem strategically is that the Treasury is deep in the heart of Rebel territory.  However, a successful Deep Strike mission of this caliber would not only strengthen Imperial resolve but throw Rebel morale to an all time low.  Imperial recon reports also show that a C-3 Luxury-Class Passenger Liner is in vicinity of the Treasury and has just finished sending and receiving shuttles.  We no doubt suspect that the LINER is carrying some important Rebel magnate or industrialist.  It is also known to us that the Rebel Cargo Container Transport Munnin is preparing to leave the Treasury with a large portion of the Rebel League payroll for distribution to the Rebel fleet.  The CRL Osirin will lead and oversee the assault on the Rebel Treasury Outpost.  You will fly your reknowned TIE Defender and disable CRTN Munnin for capture.  You will also provide perimeter defense for our assault teams, but you may assist as necessary.  It is equally important that you inspect the LINER Melange, so we may determine if its passengers are worth capturing later.  The LINER will attempt to flee, but you should be able to complete most of your mission goals before it can escape into hyperspace -- just keep an eye on its progress through your targeting computer.  Remember that you will be deep in Rebel space and can expect the Rebels to defend their Treasury to the death.

Mission #6:  Homeward Bound
	The raid on the Rebel Treasury was magnificent!  AG Ni-Nor was pleased to get our report on the mission's results!  Your discovery of the Rebel League President onboard LINER Melange gives us an extraordinary opportunity.  Our recon ships followed the LINER to a nearby Gunship Factory (United Gun Works).  Apparently the LINER was not fully fueled before leaving the Treasury and is having to stop at the factory.  We are not fools; it is obviously a trap of some kind!  However, the chance to kidnap the Rebel President must be attempted no matter what the risk -- we could end this conflict here and now!  Z-95 Mirage will hyper in and destroy the factory.  You will accompany them in your TIE Defender to disable the LINER Melange  When the area is secure, CRL Osirin will join you to receive prisoners.  A group of new Assault Gunboat Prototypes are in the factory's holding area; we will capture these as well.  Again, it is stressed that this is probably a trap.  The communications officer of the Osirin reports intercepting a garbled summons to the Rebel Interdictor Volstagg.  We relayed this information to Imperial Command, and have received this directive:  Every effort must be made to capture the Rebel League President and to DISABLE the INT Volstagg.  
	The reasons for the capture of the interdictor is to reward you for your service to THIS Empire and allow you the means to return to your own dimension.  Imperial technicians have configured a theoretical, never-before-tried, dimensional portal energizer.  This device has been installed in the cargo holds of the recently captured CRTN Munnin which was met by a convoy of Imperial Corellian Transports as it returned to our sector of space.  The technicians, under direct orders from the Emperor, have exchanged the currency cargo of the CRTN with the portal device.  CRTN Munnin stands by to hyper in to the capture area if the mission is a success.  CORT Xerxes, which has been assigned to capture the INT Volstagg when it is disabled, will signal us the capture is complete, and we will send the CRTN Munnin into your area by remote.  The INT Volstagg will meet the Imperial convoy and its prisoners will be offloaded onto a prison ferry.  Our technicians will then program the navigational array of the INT Volstagg to automatically return to your area at a precise point.  IMPORTANT:  As soon as CRTN Munnin arrives, park your TIE Defender inside CRTN Munnin at a point behind its bridge but just forward of the 3 support beams at the center of the vessel.  Also, try to position your craft as close to the center hull as you can.  Face the rear of CRTN Munnin and wait for INT Volstagg to arrive.  (For a brief video of the parking procedure, see either DSKPRK.CLP or CDCRTN.CLP in the Film Room)  You will have less than two minutes to take your position inside CRTN Munnin before INT Volstagg rearrives, so don't waste any time!  If you have parked properly, when INT Volstagg rearrives it will envelop you and CRTN Munnin.  The interdictor's gravity well projectors will power the portal device, but the power levels must be halted at a critcal point in order for your return to be successful.  It is for this reason that both ships have been programmed to self destruct at the critical moment.  To prevent interference with the portal effect, maintenance crews aboard the Osirin have been ordered to disconnect your hyperdrive, so be careful!  In any event, the Empire thanks you for your inspiration and cooperation in dealing with the threat of the Rebels.  No matter what the outcome, you will be hailed forevermore as Hero of the Empire!

Epilogue:
	The explosions of the INT Volstagg and CRTN Munnin temporarily pierce a hole through the dimensional fabric and push you through in a blinding flash of light!  Bewildered and shaken, you find yourself in an empty region of space.  You wonder if you made it home at all.  Suddenly, light bends in the distance and out of it emerges the ISD Vanguard!  You made it back!  The comm link crackles to life, "Delta-1 is that you?  Report!"  You reply as you race towards the hangar, "Sir, have I got a story for you!"
