© Jerod Underwood Park Mission 13   <-  home  -> Ah. Already up to mission number thirteen, I see. Well, it is up to you to decide how lucky (or unlucky, as the case might be) this mission turns out. As the scene fades in, you are in side the gunnery pod mounted to one of many turret posts attached to Starbase Hydra, during the beginning of a pirate assault. And in the fashion that they appear to be arriving here seems to be using the technology of a Gravity Ring. Possibly the very one that was stolen from the Midway Runner Project that ended in utter failure a few missions back. Anyway, your first mission is to clear enough of the enemy away to allow room for S.S. Pegasus to safely leave the docking bay. Luckily, the base's defense system is powerful enough to ensure immediate ID and lock on all the intruders, making your job a little easier. Especially when they begin to swarm around the station like mosquitos. After a few minutes of battle, their numbers begin to dwindle from the counter measures laid on them from the starbase, ensuring a safe enough environment to launch a much needed supply ship towards some starving colonies located out on some of the rim worlds. And as the ship pulls out from its' safe heaven, SAL releases the locking clamps of the tower and fires the retros, guiding the pod into protective position aboard the Pegasus as the many guns of the space station provide cover fire from the remaining pirate ships.
