Defenders of the Gelron Sector: The Al-Rek Consideration

Battle Four: The Al-Rek Consideration

For the purposes of this scenario, H9 turbolasers are not available, nor is the Home One title (it is busy elsewhere).

Defenders of the Gelron Sector - Escape from Negrett

Battle Three: Escape from Negrett

Imperial bombardment and reinforcements have overwhelmed Rebel defences on Negrett. Scattered bands have fled the capital and are leaving the planet in whatever transport they can find. Your Task Force is ordered into the system to evacuate as many rebel fighters as possible...

Mission: Fire Lanes
Setup: The obstacles and tokens will be set up as per the scenario map.
End of Round: Each player gains 1 victory token for each objective token he controls. To determine control of each token, players measure attack range and line of sight from each of their ships' hull zones as if performing attacks with battery armament targeting that objective token. The player with the highest total number of dice in his combined attack pools controls that token. If a player's ship or squadron overlaps an objective token, his opponent controls that token; if both players' ships of squadrons overlap the same token, neither player controls it.
(The tokens represent where the Rebels from Negrett are escaping the planet - controlling the token is rescuing soldiers from the planet).

Objective:
Major Victory: Win the battle by 100 or more points
Victory: Win the battle by 1 or more points
Any other result is a loss.

Imperial Tactics:

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.

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.
