Part 8

Objective: Destroy the Shrike (Frigate), gunboats, and corvettes.

Strategy: Order wingmen to attack the Shrike, launch torpedoes. Engage the fighter screen, then use lasers and ion cannons to disable the Shrike. Once disabled, focus on the remaining fighters until the Shrike is destroyed.

Objectives: Destroy four Container Hangars; destroy all turrets within a 2-click radius of the Nav Buoy.

Strategy: Avoid firing torpedoes until a clear shot is available to prevent them from hitting the Death Star surface. Stay high to minimize damage from surface turbolasers. After destroying hangars, clear defenses around the nav buoy, keeping shields up and moving.

Objective: Destroy the Death Star's Exhaust Port.

Strategy: Set recharge rates to MAX, link laser cannons, and engage the first wave of fighters. Proceed to the buoy, charging shields and lasers. Descend into the trench, set shields to double forward, and pump shield energy into engines. Use lasers to destroy targets while weaving through the trench, replenishing shields with laser power. Within 5 clicks of the port, switch to proton torpedoes (dual launch) and fly upward then downward towards the port for a clear shot.

Objectives: CRS Stimpsenj'kat must complete mission; Container group Xi must be identified.

Strategy: Inspect two containers, then guard the cargo transfer. Engage initial gunboats. When frigates arrive, bombers will attack the cruiser; TIE Advanced squadrons will engage you. Keep bombers from destroying the cruiser and protect yourself. Use lasers against TIE Advanced, and missiles are less effective. Let TIE Advanced come to you while dealing with bombers. Once transports complete their task or are destroyed, deal with remaining TIE Advanced.
