Mission Description
Plot
In this final battle, the damaged but resupplied Retribution Fleet waits for the imperial forces to show up to destroy them. While the M/FRG Angelfire and the ISD Liberator attack one of the enemy Star Destroyers, the VSD Alastor, the Frigates Gunship and Striker prepare and ambush for the ISD Gigantes.
Though the battle starts with a very coordinated attack from Retribution Fleet's fighters, the VSD Alastor predicts every movement of the Republic Shield Forces. Too late, an imperial spy is discovered aboard the ISD Liberator, which already gave vital information of the attack plans to the Empire's fleet. The ISD Gigantes, knowing of the ambush expecting him, strikes heavily the Frigates Gunship and Striker, but the Frigates' captains, heroically, refuse to retreat.
Thanks to the time bought by the frigates, the VSD Alastor is destroyed, but not soon enough. The frigates are destroyed before the support arrives. The ISD Gigantes, though, is damaged by the frigates and gets completely destroyed before they can escape to fight another day.
With the end of the last of the imperial forces in the sector, the Republic Shield Forces return the government to the local authorities, who accept to join the New Republic and stay under their protection.
