Defenders of the Gelron Sector - the Auk'let Gambit

Defenders of the Gelron Sector

Battle Two: The Auk'let Gambit

Imperial Forces are continuing their assault on the planet Neg'rett, but are being resisted by Rebel forces in the Capital City. The Imperials have decided to move a Legion of Stormtroopers from the nearby world of Auk'let, which was recently occupied without great resistance. An Imperial convoy has been dispatched to move the troops to Neg'rett.


Captain Doya and her Task Force have moved to intercept the Imperial Convoy leaving Auk'let. The troop carriers must be destroyed.

Mission:

Convoy Intercept

Objective:

Major Victory: Destroy all 3 Gozanti Cruisers
Minor Victory: Destroy 2 Gozanti Cruisers
Any other result is a loss.

Imperial Tactics:

The Imperial Side is First Player.

The Imperial Commander is rated Normal.

The Imperial Fleet deploys like in the picture, with the Focal Point on the opposite corner of the map. Gozanti Cruisers deploy at speed 2, and will accelerate / slow down to avoid obstacles and ramming other ships, OR to arrive / remain within distance 1 of the Focal Point.

If an Imperial Ship reveals a command at distance 1 of the Focal Point, it makes the jump to Hyperspace and escapes the battle.

The Gladiator Class vessels will treat the nearest Rebel ship as it activates as its focal point.
