X-WING

　An hour later, we were back in the cockpits of our fighters. All we knew was that the princess was under attack. We weren't about to let anything happen to her.

　OP 12: Protect Princess Leia

　File Name: intcep1
　Mission Briefing
　The Star Destroyer Immortal has launched an all-out assault on the Tantive IV. Intercept the attacking TIE squadrons and secure the hyperspace jump point. You are in the number-two spot in a pair of A-wings. Princess Leia's ship is about 8.5 clicks in front of you, and the cruiser Liberty is about 10 clicks to your right. Two groups of three TIE Interceptors are less than three clicks behind you, and closing fast. Another two groups of TIE Bombers are more than 13 clicks away, and the Immortal is more than 30 clicks away. A pair of X-wings is near the Liberty and will assist you.
　Farlander's After-Action Report
　We hypered in, Hamo and I in a pair of A-wings, went through the standard mission-start sequence, and then headed toward the nearest group of TIE Interceptors, Alpha.
　I noticed several TIE Bombers also headed in our direction, so I decided to leave the Interceptors to X-W Gold. The Bombers were in two groups, one of three ships (Gamma) and one of four ships (Delta). I targeted the nearest Bomber and moved to intercept.
　As I closed on my target, I found that three of the Interceptors were on my tail. I didn't even have to ask Red 1 to help out, though: He was right behind them, giving them serious second thoughts about their reckless pursuit. Beta 2, the most persistent, got himself killed while he was closing in on me. Thanks to Red 1, I had enough time to lock and launch a missile at the nearest Bomber, Gamma 1.
　It was about this time that a group of three Assault Gunboats entered the area, but I decided to finish off the Bombers before dealing with that threat.
　I brought my ship around and came in behind the remaining Bombers, cutting my speed to avoid overtaking them. I carefully locked on each in turn, and fired one missile. When all but two were eliminated, the survivors began to evade, so I switched back to cannons and finished them off with lasers. I had kept one missile for an emergency.
　Now I targeted the nearest Gunboat, and proceeded to engage it with cannons. After that, the nearest enemy starfighter was T/I Alpha 1, which, along with two Gunboats, was dogfighting X-W Gold in the vicinity of the Tantive IV. I immediately went to join them.
　The Star Destroyer had launched replacement waves for Gamma and Delta, but they wouldn't get here for a while. On the way towards Tantive IV, I noticed that Gold 2 had hull damage, so I pulled rank and ordered him to head home. Princess Leia's ship finally hypered out, and, after finishing off the remaining enemy ships in the area, Gold 1 and I followed in its tracks.
　Debriefing (Win Conditions)
　The CRV Tantive IV must escape into hyperspace.
