This is the second 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. Our task force has entered Epsilon Pegasi and encountered fierce Shivan resistance. A Shivan communications node is located some 90km from the subspace node, and our first order of business is to destroy it. Escorting the corvette GTCv Endurance, we are to strike at the comm node and then fade.

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
