Readme Background[edit]
Some of my favorite stories in the EH database were written and made by Frodo. He graciously has given me permission to remaster his XWA battles into TFTC and I have chosen to remaster XWA-DB 8: Secret of Andevia.
This battle tells the story of Strike Force Fenrir who have to stop a rival dark jedi group, Furvus Manus, in their efforts to use cortosis ore from Andevia to create weapons and armor with which to attack the Dark Brotherhood.
Script[edit]
Mission 1: Andevian Hide & Seek[edit]
Commander's Briefing[edit]
The Andevian Strike Force, Strike Force Fenrir of the Dark Brotherhood ([DB-SFF]) has stumbled across a disturbing discovery. Sensors have indicated that the New Republic force that was near Andevia has entered hyperspace. Since we have no solid leads at this stage as to what happened to our Andevian scouts, which have disappeared, this force is the only avenue of investigation.
We have plotted the trajectory of their jump and marked all places of note along it where they may have gone. Your mission is to jump to your assigned area and scan the area. If you find any craft carrying New Republic staff, you must disable it so we can interrogate them for further information.
Tactical Briefing Text[edit]
Greetings Dark Jedi, in order to find our lost Andevian Scouts, we must trace the steps of a [Rebel fleet].
We've plotted their trajectory, and are investigating all areas of interest on the way for any trace of them.
[Garm Squadron] has been assigned [area AS-9A87K5] for investigation.
Inspect all craft that fly through this checkpoint, disable any rebels you may find.
If you find something, call the [FRG Provoker]. It will arrive and launch [TRN Capture] to do its job.
May the dark side of the force guide you.
Radio Messages[edit]
<FRG Provoker> Hyper out! We'll be there soon
<Garm 1> Yup...this is one fun mission
<Garm 2> So where do you think their fleet is?
<Garm 1> Can't sense anything about that...oh, a visitor
<Garm 2> I'll inspect
<Garm 1> Nothing...well, let's begin radio silence. Inspect all craft that appear
<Garm 2> Copy that
<Garm 2> I have an odd feeling about these shuttles...
<Garm 1> REBELS! We've found them! Disable it!
<Garm 1> Uh oh, they've got baggage!
<Capture> Cover us, we're on our way
<Capture> Rebels are on board!
<FRG Provoker> The TRN is on board!
Victory Briefing[edit]
The shuttle you helped capture had several New Republic technicians on board. After a "chat" with some of our people, they were most helpful. From their information, we have learned that the New Republic strike force has left for a resupply station. Currently, that station is low on supplies and the force is being made to wait for a convoy to arrive.
Our fleet cannot reach the resupply station before the convoy can arrive, however, we can intercept that convoy to buy us some time. The convoy should be only lightly escorted. It is vital that you stop any and all craft from entering hyperspace too, as it is very likely the New Republic force will leave the supply station if warned of our presence.
Mission 2: Convoy Inconvenience[edit]
Commander's Briefing[edit]
In order to make sure the rebel fleet we are pursuing doesn't escape from our clutches, we are attacking a supply convoy that is destined to the rebel fleet at the repair yard.
Without this convoy, the rebels will never have enough time to resupply and escape before we get there.
Hel and Vida Squadrons have launched, the Interdictor Enslaver will make sure no one leaves the area.
Tactical Briefing Text[edit]
We are currently in combat with a Rebel convoy destined to resupply the Rebel fleet we saw near Andevia.
Without these supplies, the enemy fleet will have to remain at the resupply station long enough for us to strike.
Therefore, we must intercept the convoy and destroy it. Nothing can survive so we can remain secret.
The [INT Enslaver] will be in place in order to prevent the convoy from escaping. It will arrive soon.
[T/B Vida] and [T/A Hel] will launch immediately to destroy the convoy and its escort.
May the dark side guide you.
Radio Messages[edit]
<Rebels> They're launching fighters! Escape!
<Belligerent> Rebel Convoy, surrender at once or be destroyed
<Rebels> You'll never catch us! Hyper out!
<Enslaver> You're not going anywhere...
<Rebels> Rain Squadron! You're our only hope!
<Belligerent> Destroy them
<Hel 1> Hmm...nothing of interest in this convoy
<Belligerent> Convoy is half destroyed
<Vida 3> Look at that Corvette go!
<Enslaver> We're taking hits. Get those B-wings Hel
<Belligerent> Almost done...
<Belligerent> Excellent work
<Belligerent> All fighters eliminated
Victory Briefing[edit]
We've received some bad news. It seems the New Republic force has deduced that the convoy was intercepted. They are currently in the process of raiding the resupply station for anything of use. We assume they will leave the station once they have finished picking it clean.
Mission 3: Resupply Raid[edit]
Commander's Briefing[edit]
Unfortunately, the main portion of Strike Force Fenrir, our fleet, isn't fast enough to reach the station in time to capture the New Republic forces. The good news is our engineers have managed to retrofit a squadron of TIEs with upgraded hyperdrives. Your mission will be to hyperspace to the resupply station and keep the New Republic force busy. Once our Strike Force arrives, the Interdictor Enslaver will be able to keep the enemy in place.
Tactical Briefing Text[edit]
We must make haste! The Rebel fleet has been alerted of our presence and [Strike Force Fenrir] can't catch them.
However, we can send [Loki] Squadron to stall them right after this briefing.
The Squadron that is sent must destroy all [Tugs] and weaken the [Fighter Screen].
They will continue until the Strike Force arrives.
May the dark side guide you...
Radio Messages[edit]
<Loki 2> Woaah...Look at that!
<Loki 1> Just as we thought...Get the Tugs and Fighters!
<Loki 2> Absolutely master
<Rebel> They're starting to arrive! Quick!
<Loki 3> There's a whole lot of tugs...
<Loki 1> The fleet will arrive soon, hang tight gentlemen
<Belligerent> We're here! And not too late. Wonderful
<Enslaver> We're in position, engaging gravity wells
<Belligerent> Splendid...as foreseen
<Enslaver> Gravity wells are on
<Loki 1> Tugs are done for
<Loki 1> Fighters taken care of!
Victory Briefing[edit]
We have successfully captured the New Republic fleet mostly intact. The commander, a Vice Admiral called Seth Khaler, has been "talking" with the Deputy Grand Master for the last few hours. Khaler's force is working with a group known as the Furvus Manus. A full information brief about the group is available in your datapad.
Mission 4: An Unknown Operation[edit]
Commander's Briefing[edit]
Vice Admiral Khaler informed us that it was Furvus Manus agents that killed the scout force on Andevia to cover up something. As to what that was, we do not know at this stage. What we do know, from Khaler, is that a shipment of something was sent from Andevia to a processing operation run by the Furvus Manus. You are to destroy the operation's defenses. Disable any and all transport craft so we can investigate what the cargo was.
Tactical Briefing Text[edit]
We're heading to a [Furvus Manus] plant to intercept an operation regarding their purpose with Andevia.
Little is known other than the location of the plant. We just know there will be heavy static defenses.
Namely, mines and gun platforms. If you can't handle it, [Garm Squadron] is standing by ([Shift+S]).
Destroy all mines, gun platforms, fighter defenses and disable any transports that try to leave the area.
The VSD Belligerent will arrive shortly to take the transports, although that will be after you enter her hangar.
May the dark side guide you...
Radio Messages[edit]
<Loki 1> Ok guys, target the gun platforms with your torps
<Loki 1> When we're out of torps, go for the mines
<Loki 1> Huh!? They have TIE Advanced!?
<Loki 2> It’s a trap! They have Advanced TIEs!
<Loki 1> No, not a trap, keep fighting
<Garm 1> Reinforcements were needed...as foreseen
<Loki 1> Yeah...don't get too proud of it
<Loki 1> Look! A transport! Disable it!
<Loki 1> Another transport! Get it!
<Loki 1> A third transport! Disable at once!
<Loki 2> Look master! A fourth transport!
<Loki 1> Mines taken care of
<Loki 1> Gun platforms destroyed
<Loki 1> That's the fourth transport we disabled…
<Belligerent> Greetings dark jedi! You're holding up well
Victory Briefing[edit]
The Furvus Manus were mining cortosis ore from Andevia and sending it to their processing plant, which you have raided. Cortosis is a rare mineral that has the unsettling ability to block lightsabers. We are aware that cortosis is the basis of the swords that the Furvus Manus uses in combat with our members. Analysis of the final alloy from their plant is much more worrying. This new alloy is lighter and stronger than the materials they traditionally use. Further investigation has revealed that this same alloy was used to make the armor worn by the Furvus Manus agent that attacked the Deputy Grand Master on Andevia.
We must stop them from mass producing this armor.
Mission 5: Threat Reduction[edit]
Commander's Briefing[edit]
If this cortosis armor used in the attack on the Deputy Grand Master on Andevia becomes mass produced, the Furvus Manus would become a serious threat to the Brotherhood. The processing plant's central computer has shown that the Furvus Manus currently has a large stockpile of the cortosis alloy, awaiting final production. If we could destroy that stockpile, we could greatly damage them.
Tactical Briefing Text[edit]
In order to halt the [Furvus Manus] flow of the mineral called [cortosis] we need to attack a nearby stockpile.
This stockpile contains [major amounts of cortosis] that must be destroyed. [Garm] and [Loki] Squadrons will launch.
All of [Strike Force Fenrir] will go as well, make sure nothing happens to them. Destroy anything with [cortosis] on board.
Destroy any [fighters], [capital ships] or [installations] they may have. Rebel presence is expected.
May the dark side guide you....
Radio Messages[edit]
<Belligerent> Here it is...destroy the containers and platform
<Belligerent> Loki, get the fighters
<Enslaver> Gravity wells engaged
<Loki 1> hmmm...I sense a lot of fear...
<Rebel> Imperials! Please leave this base alone!
<Belligerent> ...No
<Loki 1> The containers are gone!
<Loki 1> Look! B-wings!
<Garm 1> The platform is gone
<Belligerent> Good work! The Obligatoire is destroyed!
<Belligerent> That should slow their Cortosis flow...
<Loki 1> Hopefully...
Victory Briefing[edit]
You have slowed down the progress of the Furvus Manus' cortosis mining operation. By destroying its stockpile you prevented a lot of cortosis alloy from being used.
However, our war versus the Furvus Manus is far from over. They will retaliate, and they have proven to be very powerful enemies in these last few missions therefore they will no longer be underestimated.
Dark times are ahead for the Brotherhood...
