Summary: Scan the objective mission, with the usual appearance of the 18th Rogue Sqdn cloning vat.


Pretty simple mission - nothing really to write home about, just not very engaging.


A relatively simple one, but credit for trying to tie it into the EU storyline with names that come out of the books. I like what they tried to do but it really was easy to complete especially if you leave the Star Destroyer for last.


A circle of FRGs around a PLT. Sounds like a party, right? Well, what if I told you the rebels also had an ISD? This mission has a little of everything if you want it that way - if you don't, you can just inspect the objectives and be done with it. On easy, that's exactly what I did.


Okay so not sure how to give this a fair review. You have to inspect stuff. In your time inspecting this stuff you find Leia on board one of the ships. So yeah, that is the entire mission objectives in order to get a victory. There isn't anything else to talk about because that is literally the mission.


I played on Easy. On Easy, this is just an inspection mission. You're in an X-Wing so it's slow and boring. There might be more to this on higher difficulties or if you chase secondary objectives, but there's not much here otherwise.


Full-on scout mission. Could have been a bit more challenging and it would make sense not to have the entire entourage of other X-Wings with you.


One of those express flying inspection missions. I love these. Easiest points you will ever earn. It's free real estate!. Guaranteed.


Bit too simple a mission, but enjoyable.

Description:  

      Our spynet has uncovered a Rebel operation of a very large scale.  One that 
threatens the Empire itself.  They have been creating a secret weapon, with the power to 
decimate a SSD.  Not wanting this threat to reach completion, the EH has dispatched the 
IW-Guard to a Rebel repair station near the Bilbringi system.  Intel has it that the ship 
housing this new weapon is docked here awaiting repairs.

      The Guard will go in and do a recon sweep of all ships in the repair yard.  
Unsubstantiated reports have come in that Chief of State, Leia Organa-Solo, is present 
aboard the Rebel Dream at the station as well.  If we can prove this to be true then 
the EH can execute a solid grip on the New Republic.
