The Barabel send their own shuttle to board the Verpine shuttle, which the Verpine retalliate by disabling the Barabel shuttle.  Angered, the Barabel send a squadron of T-Wings to attack the Carrack Cruiser and the Verpine send a squadron of T-Wings to attack the Strike Cruiser.  GUN Psi is to disable the capital ships while the fighter squadrons are kept busy.  Afterwards, both sides launch R-41s and attack each other and the Hammer's forces as well.  The Rebels show up about then and capture the officer themselves.  GUN Psi is to disable the Rebel shuttle so the officer can be retrieved and brought to the Avenger.  Once the Hyclass, shuttle Mescue, and transports carrying the leaders from both capital ships enter the Avenger's hanger, the Avenger will hyperspace out, thus completing the mission.

Missile Boat

   ATR Ponge has tracked the Verpine to an astroid field in the Roche system.  The plan is to destroy the Verpine's astroid bases and most of its defense force.  This would badly hurt the Verpine forces so they can't launch any futher attacks on the Empire.
