This is the third mission of the GVTA branch of the Scroll of Atankharzim campaign for Freespace 2. GVTA Command has a cunning plan to lure the Shivan armada out into the open and destroy it: A destroyer newly arrived in theater, the GVD Arnku, will attack a Shivan cargo depot and then shut down its engines and send a distress call to simulate an engine failure. It is believed that this will draw the Shivans to attack, where they will find us and a fully operational Hatshepsut-class destroyer. Once the Arnku has completed destruction of all Shivan forces that present themselves, it will be relieved by the GTD Enterprise and return to the node to repair any damage sustained.

Needless to say, being a veteran of a whole bunch of Shivan wars at this point, I think this is a STUPENDOUSLY bad idea, but we're doing it anyway. :P Time to load for bear.

This is Freespace 2 played using the upgraded graphics courtesy of the Freespace Upgrade Project's MediaVPs, on version 4.6.7 at time of recording. Check out the project at http://hard-light.net
