Freespace: Between the Ashes - To Steal a March On/The Texas Seven
6This is the twelfth and thirteenth missions of the Between the Ashes campaign anthology's first campaign, Slaves of Chaos. BtA is a series of three campaigns for Freespace 2, all set between the events of Silent Threat: Reborn and the start of the Freespace 2 campaign.
In this mission, we find out that PVE internal security is wildly incompetent. Moles on both the PVD Frontier and Khonsu II's transport have managed to hijack both ships, neither of which arrived at Antares Station as planned. Fortunately, Khonsu II has a tracking transponder, and it has been pinged near the Ribos node. Our wing is going to go after his transport, while the Intrepid pursues the Frontier and the remainder of the fleet maintains security around the captured HLD Cardinal.
Unlike previous Freespace content on the channel, this is going to be a blind first play! Between the Ashes was released during my decade off from this game, so all of this will be brand new to me as I play it. A sequel, Between the Ashes 2, is in development, but won't release until 2022.
