We have to rescue the GNG Nova, which is damaged and deactivated in an asteroid field, of cause a heavy damage ship cause some errors *g*. But it is still alive and we have to protect it, against asteroids, and Pirates that want to finish their job.
Hints:
The status of the Nova at the beginning of the mission depends on your selected difficulty. On Very easy the Nova is still at 100%, on Easy at 93%, at Medium you have to handle a ship with only 73% left and on Hard and Insane the ship has only 59% hull integrity... this do not include damages caused by asteroids after the begin of the mission, which can further drop the hull significantly.
After the initial chatter, you are ordered to scan one of the sentry guns. You can scan any to proceed in this mission, like the message said, you are not forced to scan Sentry 5 especially.
Prepare to be attacked by those after your scan is complete, so destroy them as fast as possible. The Prometheus should be your weapon of choice here, because it has a higher range than the Sentries. So you can take them out without to be hit.
Are the sentries down, do not waste more time and call in the GTT Hawk as a reinforcement and protect it, as well the Nova, against Asteroids.
But you do not have to deal with asteroids very long, because a wing of Hercules fighters show up and want to kill you. Stay behind your wingmates and use the Nova for cover if you need, to not be killed instantly, attack after your wingmates attacked them and they can not concentrate on you alone. So there should be an easy kill now.
But this is only the beginning of the battle, because the Pirates also send a wing of GTB Zeus, so your primary task is to intercept these bombers and kill all fighters afterwards until the next wave of bombers show up.
After a while the Pirates are even sending a cruiser next with some escort. You can gain a Bonus objective if you are able to get the cruiser kill for yourself. But this is a matter of luck, regarding how far away you are from the arriving point of the cruiser, because you do not have much time before another terran group will kill the cruiser. So you have to be near and have to cause enough damage before the cruiser goes down for the Bonus objective. The Nova should have left the area already, so activate your jump drive right after the destruction of the cruiser to escape and to end this mission, before the pirates or the unknown attackers can kill you.

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.
