This is the third mission of the Terran branch of the Pandora's Box campaign for Freespace 2. We have tracked the NTD Ludwick to its hiding spot by vectoring its bomber strike's approach, and now Command has a clever idea. Using stolen Neo-Terran IFF codes, we are going to pose as the returning remnants of the bomber raid in order to gain the element of surprise, and then launch a surprise attack on its escorting corvettes at close range to strip the destroyer of support before engaging it with the Iron Fist.

Unlike most other content in this series, this is a blind first play. I never played this campaign when I first picked up Freespace years ago.

This is Freespace 2 played using the upgraded graphics courtesy of the Freespace Upgrade Project's MediaVPs, on version 4.5 at time of recording. Check out the project at http://hard-light.net
