The AESD Amritaya is destroyed and we break the neck of the Anshari offensive. Soci is secured finally, to secure our position in the future, we have to escort a convoy that carry materials for a space station through the Soci Asteroid Belt.


Hints:
This is the last mission of Dusk Wars Act 1!
Right at the beginning, order all your wingmates to cover you, because it is crucial for you to Keep them alive as long as possible.
With this order, intercept the incoming Kasdeya bomber wing, these should not cause any Trouble for you and your wingmates. After you destroyed the bombers, kill the Gorgon fighters with the help of your wingmates.
Now keep formation to the convoy until the next enemies show up. After they have arrived, hit your energy in your engines and close the distance to the Nahema wing as fast as possible to kill them even before you can be intercepted by the later arrived Chimera wing. You should be able to kill the Nahemas all by yourself, but your "Cover me"-command you give earlier keeps your wingmates behind you, so they are able to intercept the Chimeras. Try to save much wingmates as possible, so kill the Chimeras first that are attacking your comrades. Do not worry if the Incubus fighters reached this battle also, in this time most of the Chimeras should be already destroyed. So kill the remaining fighters also and call a support ship after that, if you need repairs.
After the Anshari attacks are over with only minor casualties on your side, close the distance to the BFg Courier and overtake it until you are fly ahead by 4 or 4.5 kilometers.
Now things are getting confusing, because we are now attacked by our own people!
Two enemy Bal'ran wings, bomber and fighter each, appear right together with a Kamares cruiser, that should show up right in front of you.
Use your Spirit missiles to take down both beam cannons and several turrets until you are able to target the engine subsystem. Destroy it quickly with the help our your primary guns and disarm it further, so this ship can not be a threat for your convoy.
Now wait for the behavior of the Limos wing, if they try to keep the distance to you, use the Guardian for cover to kill them. If they start to attack the convoy, leave the Guardian behind instead and order your wingmates to kill all enemies. Attack the bombers first, if you have the chance to, but do not underestimate the Limos fighters also, because now you learn, how hard these cookies really are.
You should be able to kill all enemies before you are losing any of your convoy ships. If you damage the Guardian enough, you will also get a cruiser kill. After all enemies are down, wait until all three convoy ships left the mission area.
Now you can return to base to end this mission and to finish this campaign!
