Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Galactic Empire Campaign Mission Briefing Developed and Run by Z. B. Smith

Mission 29 - The Fall Good work on recovering the data core, the intelligence spooks have been working hard under the whip of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the rising leaders of the First Order. They’ve only been able to recover a small portion of the data so far. It seems that the destroyers of that station exited a hyperspace window within firing range of the station and immediately opened fire. The shields were at maximum and began to collapse in a matter of minutes. Internal scanners indicated that the shield generators overloaded with such intensity that they triggered the first of several chain reactions that lead to the detonation of the outpost’s main power generator. Unfortunately the explosion of the ship you liberated the date core from has inflicted just enough damage to corrupt the outpost’s exterior sensor data. We are in awe at the destruction this aggressor has caused, that base was heavily armed and was capable of staving off a small fleet. The spooks who have reviewed the data are nervous, I haven’t seen them this nervous since Lord Vader toured their facility. In addition to this loss we have recently lost contact with Admiral Iman Cheervok, commanding the Raider-Class Corvette The Fortifier. No transmissions were made, the ship’s subspace transponder just went dark. If this is the work of the same aggressors who attacked our outpost the odds of their survival have been calculated at 3,720,000 to 1. For the record that’s one thousand times worse than the odds of successfully navigation an asteroid field. Despite this you’re being ordered to the Gree system where The Fortifier was on patrol. Three DX-9 class imperial transport vessels will accompany you and, should the crew be found alive, be used to evacuate them to safety.

Win Condition Rescue Admiral Iman Cheervok from the wreckage of The Fortifier.

Additional The Fortifier is completely crippled, a small swarm of ships have been detected around her hull - still firing. The scanners can’t make sense of the vessels, they don’t identify anywhere in the database. These must be the alien aggressors, proceed with cation. A DX-9 transport must end its maneuver overlapping the base of The Fortifier in order to dock. Once docked it may still be fired upon and must wait three complete rounds before undocking and proceeding back towards the Imperial starting edge of the table. Once within Range 3 of the starting edge it will jump to hyperspace and save the crew of The Fortifier. True to his nature, Admiral Iman Cheervok is refusing to be evacuated. His short-range communications indicate that he will be the last to board the DX-9 transports or go down with his ship. His survival is not optional, ensure all three DX-9 transports dock and remove the crew. Alternatively VT-49 Decimators, Lambda-Class Shuttles, and Nu-Class Shuttles may dock. Three ships, in any combination, must dock and detach. The third ship to do so will gain a token indicating the presence of Admiral Iman Cheervok and thus the capacity to win or lose depending on its longevity. Yorik-Et (“Coralskipper”) Fighter

For each Ion Token stored on this card reduce the speed of your maneuver by 1 (to a minimum of 0). You may not assign red maneuvers if this card has any Ion Tokens stored on it. If the adjusted speed of your maneuver is 0 assign your ship a stress token.
