Secure the Phare System

The following Battle Plotline is posted by the Fleet Commander:

General Background

Following the capture of the Loki Military Complex a month ago, the Fleet Commander has first 
ordered the complete destruction of any opposing Imperial and/or Rebel forces remaining in the 
Phare System.  Considering the apparent warlord mentality of the remaining Imperial officers in 
Phare and their subsequent refusal to accept the Emperor's Hammer as a duly appointed Fleet of 
the Emperor, complete and total destruction is warranted.

The first targets will be the remaining Imperial capital ships and fighters at each of the three 
primary inhabited planets Ullyr, Frigg and Sif.  These will typically include older corvettes, 
converted commercial craft (i.e. luxury liners, shuttles, transports, etc.).  It is anticipated 
that older starfighter classes such as the TIE Fighter and TIE Bomber will be protecting these 
ships.  In addition, various older hostile corporate and civilian fighter craft (i.e. Z-95s, 
T-41s and R-41 Starchasers) can be expected to be present.

Since these Imperials have essentially been isolated from the main supply routes of the Empire, 
their ships and technology are not up to current Imperial standards.  The Fleet Commander 
expects this Combined Arms Battle to represent more of an "occupation" than hard pitched 
battle.  However, each TIE Pilot is warned that isolated, heavily armed pockets of resistance 
may remain...

EH Mission 1 - The Saraii (Sif)

The Saraii, an ancient and noble race, from which it is suspected that Grand Admiral Thrawn 
originated, have few defense resources remaining at their disposal.  In orbit above Sif are 
several Platforms that serve as waypoints and trading centers for the many agricultural products 
produced on Sif.  It is anticipated that the these platforms will be moderately guarded by the 
Sif Civilian Defense Forces and Imperial Corvettes and TIEs.  The M/CRV Phantom has identified 
the CRV Phantasia, and 3 converted Corporate Sector Authority (CSA) Star Galleons  in orbit 
above Sif.

Once the orbiting forces are annhilated, the Saraii should soon see the wisdom of swearing 
fealty the the Emperor's Hammer...

EH Mission 2 - Dangerous Luxuries (Frigg)

Frigg, a hardly known but intriguing luxury aquatic world will be a valuable prize for the 
Hammer.  Not only will this planet serve as a recreation planet for our troops, but the 
"living" nature of this thriving, aquatic world will appeal to many Dark Jedi on Sabbatical.

Currently, only a few TIE squadrons and several aging assault transports protect the spaceport 
on Frigg.  This should be an easy prize...

EH Mission 3 - Wookies Enslaved (Ullyr)

It is estimated by the Imperial Survey Corps that approximately 5,000 Imperial military and 
Citizens were stranded on Ullyr 5 months ago when most of the System Fleet and the Phare 
Governor left.  These humans have apparently assembled in small isolated bands throughout 
the forested world.  Recent Imperial Security Bureau and Scout Corps surveys have identified 
the locations of approximately 2,000 of these Imperials.  Not only are they in dire need of 
emergency relief supplies, but they stand the danger of being captured and killed by the 
Wookies now in control of the planet's surface.

The Fleet Commander has decided that this Wookie presence shall be quelled and be bonded to 
once again serve the Empire as befits their non-sentient status.  With the thousands of 
Imperials bound to enter the system following its conquest by the Hammer, housing and new 
construction will be required and the native hardwoods of Ullyr are prized throughout the 
Outer Rim.

This mission will center on holding control of the orbits above Ullyr.  The M/CRV Phantom 
identifed the potential presence of several B-Wing construction facilities planetside.  
Consequently, garrison forces assigned to this planet will initially find some Rebel resistance.
It is to be dealt with swiftly...No Wookie B-Wings can escape...!

EH Mission 4 - Rescue Scout Survey Team (Thor)

This mission centers on your adequate defense of several transports and shuttles ferrying a 
large 500 member scout transport and shuttles from the planet to the TFC Roxanna waiting in 
orbit with a Hospital Module attached.  Apparently, the Scout Corps Survey Team met up with 
a particularly hungry band of Grenfels on Thor.  Based on initial reports, the one platoon 
of 40 fully-equipped Stormtroopers standing guard over the Survey Team held off several hundred 
of the behemoths before they broke into the Imperial encampments and killed an estimated 75 
scientists.  The whereabouts of the scientists is unknown, but they have already been presumed 
dead, as the Grenfels captures its prey for only one reason...Food...

As the Transports and Shuttles attempt to dock with the TFC Roxanna for medical aid.  Several 
TIEs and Civilian fighters enter the area.  Your job will be to keep these transports safe.  
They must not be destroyed.

DB Mission 1 - Haven (Hela)

On Hela, a mercury-like world in the closest orbit to Odin, also contains some of the richest 
mining operations in the Phare System.  Haven, the masive mining complex planetside, is run 
and managed by a conglomeration of small, insignificant corporations that have banded 
together to oppose the Hammer.

Several of the most experienced and elite TIE fighter pilots in Tau Squadron will be used 
to lay waste to the Corporate corvettes and T-41s in orbit above Hela...However, any Platforms 
or containers MUST NOT be destroyed as they represent vital materiel supplies for our Fleet.  
The capture of this planet and its supplies intact is one of the most important missions of 
this CAB.
