~ -X-1- MISSION 01 ~

Begin collecting resources and build the fighter facility. Construct 3 interceptor squadrons. Do not attack the drones until you have these 3 squadrons ready.

Once the interceptors are built, send them to engage and destroy the drones. Hotkey these interceptors to the number 1.

You will receive a warning of an incoming attack. A squadron of interceptors will be launched from Chimera to intercept enemy bombers. You will receive these additional interceptors as soon as the warning is issued. Combine your initial 3 interceptor squadrons with these reinforcements and engage the enemy bombers.

Immediately after destroying the bombers, 3 hyperspace gates will arrive, signaling the second wave. You will have 2 minutes to build reinforcements. Construct 3 bomber squadrons. As soon as they are ready, command them to attack the Heavy Missile Frigates (HMFs) and then the gates, while your interceptors focus fire on any remaining enemy fighters. Hotkey the bombers to the number 2.

Once the bombers have finished destroying the HMFs and the 3 gates, order them to dock. After the resource collectors (coll) are done, instruct them to dock and ensure the 'stay docked' radio check is enabled.

Soon, you will be warned about an incoming third wave, which is described as unbeatable. If you have built sufficient forces, you will witness a massive fleet, including 2 Battlecruisers (BCs), 2-3 Destroyers (D's), numerous HMFs, and many fighters, destroy Tanis. The outcome depends on the size of your own fleet.
