This is the fourth 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 Capella system has been sealed off to contain the second Shivan incursion, but we still must deal with the remnant that escaped into Epsilon Pegasi. We plan to use the captured Shivan corvette to attrit the Shivans, but first we need to make repairs to the damage we inflicted during the capture. We need to steal Shivan materiel to do this. Our mission today is to strike at a Shivan cargo depot guarded by sentry guns. It is believed that the Shivans will only notice the depot is under attack when the sentries are destroyed, so armed with Morning Star kinetic guns, we are to move the sentries away from the depot without destroying them so our freighters can make the capture.

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
