Upon engaging the enemy, TF wing Beta was directly in front of me. I centered the lead Tie (Beta 1) and launched three cross-linked volleys before targeting Beta 2. I crossed wide to swing out on Beta 2's starboard side and cut engines to 1/3 power. Coming around behind Beta 2, I matched speed, and took him out with two shots.

Imperial transport Zeta seemed intent on making trouble for the B-Wings, so I targeted it next. It was already heading away from me, so taking it out was no large challenge. As soon as Zeta was out of the way I acquired and dispatched targeted TF Alpha 2 which seemed to have flown into the Ion crossfire from the B-Wings and stalled out. It was quickly destroyed on my way to Alpha 1 which caught one laser blast inbound to me and one outbound, destroying it. Alpha 3 decided to play chicken and lost.

Next I identified the shuttle Kazuya, already in the process of being secured by the commandoes on the Kazama.

The B-wings Hyperspaced out at approximately 9:30 left on the mission clock.

When the Gunships came in I went to full power and switched to Missiles. I launched three missiles at the lead gunboat before taking a couple of shots myself which damaged my shield-strength indicator. I launched a fourth missile from his six, and headed for the other gunboat. I launched four missiles at the second gunboat as well, and the a final missile to finish the job while I pursued the missile he had launched.

After the Gunboats were gone I stayed with the Kazuya until the mission timer expired. The mission was still considered a failure, although I'm not sure why. The Kazuya is listed as having not been recovered, although I can't say it's for lack of trying. When all Imperial troops were dispatched, the Kazuya spent the rest of it's time flying in circles until the mission clock ran out. It was still circling when I hyperspaced out.
