Readme Background[edit]
Some of my favorite stories in the XWA database were written and made by RogueWing. He graciously has given me permission to remaster his battles into TFTC and I have chosen to remaster XWA-F 36: Capture Rebel Cruiser.
The Infiltrator Wing needs a rebel cruiser for an upcoming mission. They have approached the pilots of the ISD Immortal for help. You an a wingman will depart the Immortal flying YT-2000's and head to the rebel taskforces location pretending to be supply ships. When you arrive, you must quickly disable the cruiser's guns because a Container Freighter packed with explosives will come out hyperspace and ram the cruiser taking down its guns. Then you must disable it with your ion cannons. Other pilots off the Immortal will hyperspace in to help flying captured pirate ships. It is imperative that ALL rebel ships be destroyed. The Infiltrator Wing's plan depends on the rebels not knowing we have one of their cruisers.

Commander's Briefing[edit]
The Infiltrator Wing needs a Rebel cruiser for one of their operations and has asked us for assistance.
Tactical Briefing Text[edit]
The Infiltrator Wing needs a Rebel cruiser for one of their operations and has asked us for assistance.
You and your wingman will depart the Immortal and proceed to a halfway point.
Once there, you will change course so you can't be tracked back here.
When you arrive at the rebel taskforce, you will pose as supply freighters. You MUST quickly sneak up and disable the cruiser's guns with your mag torpedoes.
A Container Transport will arrive shortly on autopilot. Packed with explosives, it will ram the cruiser and take down most of its shields. You must then disable the cruiser with your ion cannons.
Once it is disabled, an Assault Transport will arrive to capture it. Fly cover against any fighters that are deployed.
You must also see to it that no ship survives this attack. The Infiltrator Wing's plan depends on the fact that the Rebels do not know that we have one of their cruisers.
If any ships attempt to flee, destroy them. Remember, the object of this mission is to capture the cruiser, not destroy it.
One last note: Ghost, Ranger, and Falcon Squadrons are waiting for your order to jump in to offer assistance. Since the Rebels must not know we are behind this attack, they will be piloting some pirate ships we have captured and have in storage.

Victory Briefing[edit]
Congratulations on a well done job. Thanks to you, the Infiltrator Wing has the cruiser that they need and the enemy isn't aware of it. They believe that it was destroyed with the rest of the task force. You deserve a break. Unfortunately, the latrines need to be cleaned. The mops and brushes are in the hall outside.
