Installation 
------------
The Imperial.lst and Mission.lst replace your original files, so back those up!


- Download the TIE Phantom and TIE Vanguard patches for XvT from the SCO site 
	(currently: http://sco.minos.net)
- Install the TIE Phantom patch for XvT according to its own instructions.
- Install the TIE Vanguard patch for XvT according to its own instructions.
1] Double click the .EHM file, the EH Battle Launcher will install the battle.
2] Check the Misc folder in your XvT one for additional material like patches, sounds etc.
3] Press the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter button to start XvT and fly the battle.
- Create a new pilot for the mission based on your name or PIN and the mission number. 
For example, SL Stele playing Free Mission 80 would make a new pilot file named "StelFM80." 
or a Pilot with PIN 2883 playing Free Mission 69 would make a new pilot file named "2883fm69" 
- Begin flying the first training mission.

(note: uninstall these in reverse order!)

Description
-----------
This mission is part of a series of free missions about each of the squadrons in the ASF doing 
missions following their squadron objective in their assigned craft. Each mission tries to give
a feel and a bit of history of each of the Squadrons. All the storylines of the missions are
interconnected and have the ASF Squadron join together against a common foe.

Story Line
----------
Cobra Squadron, 87th TIE Corps Squadron, of Wing XIV is based upon the ISDII Intrepid and 
its objective is Special Operations.Special Operations Squadrons would be able to perform 
precisely targeted missions in small flight groups so large amounts of EH assets are not 
risked.

Cobra Squadron is currently under the experienced command of CPT Blade, and earlier CMDRs 
were CM Tissaya (now the WC), CPT Doros, MAJ Kyle, CPT The Z and MAJ Kirishka. Cobra 
Squadron has always belonged to the top Intrepid Squadrons, if not of the ASF as a whole.

In this mission you will have to preform Cobra Squadron's primary objective: Special 
Operations. We've found out where a flotilla of New Republic ships is grouping for a 
mission. We will take the chance to replace a few EH craft we have lost recently and 
capture us a DREAD for the TC and a CRS for the IW.

Player Craft: TIE Phantom, Assault Gunboat, TIE Vanguard.

NOTE 
-------------------
You need XvT (or at least all the ships involved there) and the TIE Phantom and the 
TIE Vanguard patches.
