This is the seventeenth mission of the Procyon Insurgency campaign for Freespace 2. The PCD Saturn has made a sudden appearance at the Knossos portal, apparently intending to enter and escape into the nebula system beyond. We must scramble to stop it. The GVD Sekham and GTD Delphi are rushing to the Knossos site to reinforce the blockade, and we have ten minutes to stop the Saturn before it makes good its escape. The ship has three reactors that, if destroyed, will cut power to the ship and prevent its departure. Our task is to take advantage of the destroyed turrets we inflicted earlier and bomb these reactors.

Unlike most other videos in the series, this is a blind first play. I gave up on Procyon Insurgency a few missions in when I first played it years ago because of its difficulty, and even now it's hard.

This is Freespace 2 played using the upgraded graphics courtesy of the Freespace Upgrade Project's MediaVPs, on version 4.6.4 at time of recording. Check out the project at http://hard-light.net
