Back at home in Sopul, there is no time to condemn us for our actions during the Battle against the Lucifer at the Verbek Gate. The Shivans are advancing very fast and the Lucifer was seen near the Sopul Fleet HQ, we have to evacuate it before it is too late.


Hints:
I suggest to use the AB Attis yourself and the AB Zakros for your wingmates, because the Attis is faster and you can intercept enemy fighters even before they reach your wingmates.
Ignore the SSD Lucifer at all costs, it is invincible here.
Order "Cover me" to all allied crafts after the start of the mission, to reduce the causualities of Daleth and He Wings.
After that, order the Bomber wings to attack on the front cannon turrets of the Titivillus each. You instead, will fly ahead together with the fighters to intercept shivan crafts and ignore the cannon turrets for now.
After most of the shivan fighters are down, try to help your wingmates in the destruction of the cannon turrets, if they are already down, order them to destroy the top one, you instead will try to disable the Titivillus with the help of your bombs.
After the three cannons are destroyed and the Titivillus is disabled, retreat back to the Fleet HQ together with your wingmates, because the SCv Gader'el will jump in. Order both bomber wings to take them down and support them in this task whilst you destroy its turrets with your Quasar. But take caution to enemy fighters, because the SF Basilisk want to hunt you down, so support Daleth and He in it.
After the Moloch is down, hunt down every enemy fighter asap before the Station will be destroyed by the Lucifer. Ignore the Bombers, concentrate on the fighters, because they will be remain in the mission area even the station is destroyed, and because your wingmates will also jump out automatically, you will no chance of survival if you want to earn the destruction of the Titivillus.
After the Sopul HQ is down, destroy every remaining bomber and then you can destroy the Demon destroyer all by yourself undisturbed. Position your bomber right at the front of the ship, kill the missile launcher, if necessary, and activate your time compression to destroy it very fast.

Behind the Scenes:
This mission was originally a hell lot harder, because the Demon was a Sathanas juggernaught in an earlier version of the mission.
