The most powerful weapon in the alien arsenal - the Mothership - makes its first appearances, and they are quite memorable. The first giant warship is repelled before any harm is done, whilst the second deposits aliens in the warehouse under which X-Com's latest base is built, and the third attacks Station #1.

In the third instance, the attacking vessel fails to evade X-Com's interceptors - including the first Annihilators to come off the production line.

Die, bitch - die...!
The alien's pride and joy - wrecked...	...and ripe to be plundered!
Gas 'em, ship 'em and suss 'em!	A Plethora Of Poppers!

However, the recovery mission is soured by a mismanagement of Alien Containment space that costs our scientists an excellent opportunity to advance our knowledge of the aliens. Later missions attempt to make up for this unfortunate lack of foresight - and there are plenty of opportunities.

Osiron go over to the other side - but one can hardly say that they will be missed.

Greatest Victory : Shooting down and recovering a Mothership; defending X-Com bases effiiciently.
