Marines quickly overcome enemy resistence and seized bridge. second dropship unloaded his cargo to deal with any leftovers in cruiser. In moment of capture another message comes in Alliance convoy has been ambushed and last remaing transport has moving through location of battle followed by two Ak´rah fighters.

Viper and his wingmen has move away from escort formation to protect the transport and attacked enemy flight and Angel destroyed another squid fighter. The Second one evaded Viper IR missle

Protecting transport

That´s right squiggy run! and tell your octopa-admiral that you has been beaten by Pumas!

The Thr´eng forces decided this too much for them and begin their retreat, Alliance fighter decided to let them go.

This mission was huge success, not only the vital intel has been gathered, but our heroes also saved civilian convoy and rout enemy forces in this sector.
