Just an hour ago Grand Admiral
Zaarin conducted a treacherous attack against our Emperor in a foolish attempt
to seize control of the Empire. We have already received reports from all
over the Empire that forces loyal to Zaarin have or are in the process of
conducting attacks against Imperial assets. Captain, your ship is being
committed to reinforce Facility 74-A2; an Xg-1 Assault Gunboat factory,
which is currently under attack. We are aware that the Nebulon-B Talos
is still conducting drydock repairs, but your ship along with other units
are the only ones which can respond in time. Your ship, along with a pair
of Modified Guardian-class Light Cruisers are to drive off the traitor
forces, insure that 74-A2 is not destroyed, and minimize the number of stolen
Xg-1s leaving the area. Included in your task force's compliment: 2 TIE
Fighter and 1 TIE Bomber squadrons and 2 Katarn-class Boarding Shuttles
(along with associated troops) [onboard the Talos]. The traitor forces
include: the Escort Carrier Executioner, 1 Assassin-class
Modified Corvette, 2 CR90 Corellian Corvettes and 4 Cargo Ferries. Their
starfighter forces include: 1 TIE Fighter (has shields 20 SBD) and 1 Assault
Gunboat squadrons. Should the traitor forces make it to Grid E6 they will
have escaped our grasp. |
Note that no reinforcements are available. The
Talos currently only has 50% shields (since the grid upgrades are
not finished yet), and for the forward weapons only 2 turbolasers and 2
laser cannons are operational (rest are undergoing re-calibration) [port,
starboard and aft weapons are fully operational]. The TIE Fighters cannot
be modified to carry ordnance. However, the TIE Bombers may be armed with
either 8 Concussion Missiles or 6 Proton Torpedoes, or a mix of both. Reload
in battle will not be possible. Enemy TIE Fighters have no warheads, but
the Assault Gunboats have an average of 5 Concussion Missiles. |
