This is the third mission of the Journey to Epsilon Pegasi campaign for Freespace 2. I had intended to go into Freespace Blue, but I recently heard the news that TopAce, a prolific mod creator and contributor at Hard Light Productions who created this campaign, has sadly passed away. I'm playing his campaigns in his honor. We occupy the role of a veteran pilot assigned to the GTD Achilles based in Adhara. The second Shivan incursion is currently attacking the Capella system. The presence of a Sathanas class juggernaut in Epsilon Pegasi is grave news. With the loss of the corvette GTCv Endurance, our backs are against the wall. We need an edge. To that end, we are going to undertake a risky operation: The capture of a Shivan corvette, only the second attempt by Terrans to capture a Shivan warship since first contact. We are to mute, disable, and disarm the SCv Ikrish, which is patrolling alone in the Epsilon Pegasi asteroid field.. Once this is done, the GTD Achilles will jump into the area and deploy a transport to make the capture. At this phase of the operation our role will change to combat space patrol and perimeter security.

This is Freespace 2 played using the upgraded graphics courtesy of the Freespace Upgrade Project's MediaVPs, on version 4.6.8 at time of recording. Check out the project at http://hard-light.net
