The Sathanas fleet sends subspace waves to Sopul A, which destabilizing this star. Our task is to protect as much ships as possible on their escape to Gamma Draconis against shivan attacks. This will be for sure one of the tightest and hottest escapes in history.
Hints:
This is the last playable mission of Ancient-Shivan War Act II!
Use the ship and loadout you are most comfortable with. You can finish this mission with every configuration.
It is a matter of luck how much ships of your fleet can escape the system. In my experience you have the highest chances to safe all ships, if you are near at the Gournia after the arrival of Akrotiri and Koumasa. So you can intercept a few shivans and distract them, so the capital ships can handle the remaining ones long enough to escape.
If you lose one ship, do not worry, they affect the debriefing but not the mission outcome. You can not lose this mission, simple try your best.
I suggest to use Punishers here to get rid of the different Bombers very fast.
If you are flying the Tylisos, i suggest to prioritize fighters over bombers, because the latter can kill you very easy.
The Image feed you get from the reconnaissance are scenes from the FreeSpace 2 ending sequence.
The jump-out sequence is a tricky one, try to get some distance to your pursuers before you activate the jump drives, because the shivans will kill you during the jump otherwise.
Ignore the shivan capital ships, because you do not have enough time to destroy them anyway.

Questions and Feedback in German and English would be appreciated, but is also possible in French, Spanish and Chinese, because my sister is able to read and understand it. But do not expect an answer in the same language.
