Readme Background

Colonel Mosh has graciously has given me permission to remaster his XWA battles into TFTC and I have chosen to remaster XWA-F 124: Procure the Seraph.

Playing these old battles celebrating past members really makes me wish I had found this group when I first got XWA back when it came out. It feels like I really missed out on great memories and friendships having not been a member back in the early days. But I can still do my best in making missions like this as polished as I know how and make them available in the latest and greatest graphical mod.

You are on a mission to steal a shuttle for your wing commander, don't get caught...

Script

Commander's Briefing

<Mosh> Rej is getting frustrated with the paperwork involved in getting a new Wing Commander’s shuttle so we're going to cut through the red tape in this mission.

Make sure the pirates manage to disable that freighter so that CUV Fixer can board it to make repairs. While it's there, Hermann will also be able to slice the freighter's computers and add an urgent purchase order for one shuttle.

<Krayt> But that's theft...

<Mosh> Well sort of...The Emperor's Hammer has paid for a batch of shuttles, we'll simply be diverting one that was intended for the Sov. They'd do the same to us.

<Crsepe> Why doesn't Flight I do this in TIE Defenders and disable the freighter themselves?

<Mosh> That would arouse too much suspicion. This way you guys can't possibly be blamed for the freighter's condition. Just don't let the pirates get away with it.

Tactical Briefing Text

Through an extensive spy network, we have discovered that a [freighter] is en route to pick up a batch of new shuttles for the SSSD Sovereign.

We also know that local pirates are planning to hijack the freighter when it makes a brief course correction at buoy N88.

[Hammer II] will make use of this information to 'protect' the freighter. If the freighter is disabled (how unfortunate) [CUV Fixer] will arrive to 'repair' it.

Pssst! go to the CMDR's briefing, all of you

Shuttles - Just like the one COL Rejili wants
