The Ronin are based on the Alliance\'s newest carrier, the Yamato; under construction as the war broke out, the Yamato and her squadron the Ronin have entered the conflict recently, and by all accounts, not a moment too soon." 165                          "Italy\'s 503rd was decimated at the beginning of the conflict. In the massive sneak attack by the newly formed Eastern Coalition, most of the Italian and French fleets were completely wiped out. The Stingers survived only because they were on a scheduled stand down. About half of their unit was on mandatory leave as the war broke out. They are currently based at Fort Lomax, and are anxious for a measure of revenge. The Stingers are one of the most decorated units in the war. They have 6 confirmed aces in their squad, and several more that are unconfirmed. This crack unit has a kill ratio of about 5-1, and is known for its take no prisoners approach to battle." 166                          "France\'s 205th is a highly decorated fighter squadron. They fought valiently in the initial strike and lost 2/3rds of their unit during the first 2 weeks of the war. Fatigued and low on fighter craft and pilots to fly them, they were ordered to stand down and report to the rear for rest and reinforcements. The Marauders earned their nickname in the Lunar conflict, as they constantly hounded the Russian supplies lines, thus crippling their war effort. Of the 8 remaining pilots from the original Marauders 5 are confirmed aces. They have a very respectable kill ratio of 2-1. Good in a bar fight, but great in a dogfight is their motto." 167                          "The 51st volunteers were formed soon after the conflict began. The vicious attack by the Eastern Coalition has left the Alliance short on skilled pilots. A call went out for volunteers and several new squadrons were formed. The Diamondbacks have enjoyed some success, but overall their skill level is reflected in their kill ratio, which is a poor 1-3. Relegated to the home defense fleet, the Diamondbacks are working hard at improving their squadron\'s kill ratio. Individually they are fine pilots, but they lack training as a unit. Their assignment to Fort Austin is giving them time to regroup, and get in some additional training." 168                          "Germany\'s 311th, better known as the Jaguars, is a squadron with an excellent performance record. Based around Titan since the outbreak of the conflict, the Jaguars have been recording many Coalition kills while protecting important convoys and vital Alliance supply lines. The Jaguars have an excellent kill ratio of 2-1, and have quite a reputation with the enemy. The Jaguars are known for their precision tactics, and fly very well as a unit." 169                          "The 109th is a fighter squadron with a rich history. Organized at the outset of the Europa conflict, the Maulers have been protecting various Alliance positions for over 100 years. The Maulers early record was not one to brag about, but in this war they have been performing quite well. Their kill ratio in this conflict is a respectable 1-1. Since the beginning of this conflict, the Maulers have been based at Fort Carter, they have fought off 3 direct assualts on the their base, and have garnered a healthy respect from both the Alliance and Coalition fleets." 170                          "The 406th fighter squadron was formed at the beginning of the Lunar Conflict. In its first combat assignment, the 406th made a precision strike into the heart of a Russian battle group, breaking the fleet in half, thus earning their nickname, the Blades. A very regimented group of pilots who fly with uncanny skill and grace, the Blades have a very respectable kill ratio of 3-2. They are based at Fort Sherman and have managed to keep the enemy from making any significant progress in their quadrant." 171                          "The 45th volunteers was quickly formed to help the Alliance replace its depleted numbers at the outset of this conflict. Composed mainly of former military and some civilian personnel, the 45th is under the command of Maria Enriquez, a skilled tactician who has earned several commendations as a combat pilot. Short on training time, the 45th will have a lot to prove in a short period of time." 172                          "Italy\'s 559th have been battling the Coalition since the beginning of this conflict. In early engagements, the Coalition fighters nicknamed this outfit the Hornets, due to their swarming tactics. This attacking formation has proven so successful that Alliance High Command is thinking of adopting it as standard operation procedure. The Hornets\' kill ratio has been listed as high as 6-1, but is only confirmed as 4-1." 173                          "Britain\'s highly decorated 605th squadron, nicknamed the Pirates, missed the opening salvo of the conflict. The Pirates were on a routine patrol around Pluto, during the Coalition\'s surprise attack. Based on the Intrepid, the Pirates quickly got into the fight. They have been the most successful squadron in kill ratio, racking up an astounding six kills for every death. It is rumored that the Coalition has a bounty for anyone that shoots down a Pirate. Very few bounties have been collected." 174                          "Britain\'s 606th, better known as the Black Aces, earned their moniker with a gambling style of combat. Based on the ANS Illustrious, the Aces have been on the front lines since the outset of the war. The Aces\' kill ratio has been hampered by their aggressive style of combat; a quite respectable 2-1 could be higher if they were more prudent in choosing their battles. Always first into a fire fight, they are highly respected as both an adversary and an ally." 175                          "Germany\'s 306th squadron is rich in tradition and combat experience. Nicknamed the Jackals for their pack style of combat, they have been involved in almost all major wars, beginning with the Lunar conflict of 2024. Since the outbreak of this war the Jackals have been assisting with the reorganization of the Alliance forces. They have racked up a respectable kill ratio of 3-2 while constantly fighting against superior enemy forces." 176                          "Germany\'s 307th, the Vampires, is one of the most decorated units under Alliance command. German Ace Klaus Steiner is in command of the Vampires, and under his leadership the Vampires have managed an outstanding kill ratio of 4-1. The Vampires were the first Alliance unit to have success against the Coalition. On a routine patrol, they surprised a Coalition convoy, and took out 12 fighters and 3 large ships." 177                          "The United States\' 101st fighter squadron, the Hellcats, have been active in various skirmishes with both the Russians and the Chinese for the last two centuries. The Hellcats have distinguished themselves and have a kill ratio of 1-1; they are known for their ferocious attacks. During the lunar conflict they defeated a Russian squadron that had a 3-1 advantage. The Hellcats took out all 21 of the Russians while losing only 3 of its original 7. Stationed on the ANS Endeavor, the Hellcats make a formidable squadron." 178                          "The United States\' 105th fighter squadron, the Cougars, has had a difficult beginning to this conflict. Flying off the ANS Mitchell, the Cougars have had to fight their way back to Neptune. In doing so, they have lost half of their fighter contingent. They ran into Admiral Kulov, not once, but twice, and the Mitchell barely escaped capture or destruction, due in no small part to the valiant efforts of the Cougars. Their kill ratio at 1-2 is not an indication of the skill of the Cougars." 179                          "The 604th Buccaneers of the United States are stationed on the ANS Victorious. The Buccaneers are new to Alliance command, and have been involved in only a few minor skirmishes. Led by their lone ace Eric \\\""Dakota\\\"" Peterson, who has 12 kills to his credit, the Buccaneers are anxious to get into the fight. The Buccaneers are a squadron that was part of Alliance reserve units and were called to active duty at the beginning of the conflict. Their kill ratio is even at 1-1, however, that is due in part to their previous inactivity." 180                          "The fighting 109th, known as the Pumas, are stationed on the ANS Washington. Led by the enigmatic Jake Tanner, the Pumas have been distinguishing themselves with their excellent performance since the outbreak of the war. Their kill ratio of 3-2 is considered excellent as they have faced overwhelming odds on most of their engagements. The Pumas have four confirmed Aces and several others are on the verge of becoming Aces. The Pumas are feared and respected by both sides of this conflict." 181                          "From both a humanitarian and strategic point of view this was a vital mission. " 182                          "With the safe passage of all the ships in the convoy, we have saved hundreds of lives, along with earning massive gratitude and recognition from the many high-ranking Senate and Command personnel on board the Ulysses. No doubt Captain Foster will be dodging another promotion to stay with the Reliant after this one." 183                          "High command also wishes to pass on their thanks for the safe arrival at Fort Baxter of the cargo vessels. As you all know, supplies are short at the moment and we need every piece of equipment and weaponry we can lay our hands on." 184                          "The diversion to protect the Rippers and secure the supplies from the ambushed cargo ship was notable, although we lost another good ship to the enemy, your rapid deployment and defense saved much needed resources. " 185                          "The efficient and positive way in which the enemy threat was dealt with is a credit to the entire squadron. This will read well in the files of many pilots, including your own.\n\nOnce again, well done on a faultless operation.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 186                          "From both a humanitarian and strategic point of view this was a vital mission. " 187                          "With the safe passage of some of the convoy ships, we have saved many lives, along with earning gratitude and recognition from the high ranking Senate and Command personnel on board the Ulysses. No doubt Captain Foster will be shaking many hands the next time he is called to high command." 188                          "The diversion to protect the Rippers and secure the supplies from the ambushed cargo ship was notable, although we lost another good ship to the enemy." 189                          "Although the operation was handled in an efficient and positive way, we need to polish up on cover and guard maneuvers for future missions of this type. However, I don\'t want to detract too much from the overall success, so well done on this one.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 190                          "From both a humanitarian and strategic point of view this was a vital mission. " 191                          "However, with the destruction of the Ulysses, it is unlikely to go down in Alliance naval history as a success. The way in which enemy fighters penetrated your defensive perimeter was disgraceful." 192                          "As you were well aware, many high ranking Senate and Command personnel were on board the Ulysses, and were forced to use escape pods in a hard vacuum, not the most pleasant of experiences at the best of times. However, many expressed gratitude for their rescue, due to the prompt arrival of the Nanny ship." 193                          "Perhaps the only saving grace of this mission was the destruction of the Coalition Antonov, which was on the hunt for prisoners to pick up. It\'s no secret how the Coalition treats POWs." 194                          "I suggest you go away and consider your performance. You need to do better.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 195                          "From both a humanitarian and strategic point of view this was a vital mission. " 196                          "However, with the destruction of the Ulysses, it is unlikely to go down in Alliance naval history as a success. The way in which enemy fighters penetrated your defensive perimeter was disgraceful." 197                          "As you were well aware, many high ranking Senate and Command personnel were on board the Ulysses, and were forced to use escape pods in a hard vacuum, not the most pleasant of experiences at the best of times. However, many expressed gratitude for their rescue, due to the prompt arrival of the nanny ship. " 198                          "Those people, however, were the lucky ones. The Coalition Antonov picked up several escape pods and we now have a political crisis around the corner with the capture of many senior figures. It\'s no secret how the Coalition treats POWs." 199                          "This mission should have been a turkey shoot but it turned into a circus. I strongly advise that you avoid Captain Foster if you see him in the corridor.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 200                          "From both a humanitarian and strategic point of view this was a vital mission." 201                          "Never have I seen such a debacle made of what should have been a straight forward assignment." 202                          "Allowing the destruction of the Ulysses certainly will not go down as one of the 45th\'s greatest moments. The Coalition made you look like the rookies you are out there. The way they tore through your non-existent defense perimeter was embarrassing. You left some of the Alliance\'s most high-ranking personnel to the cold vacuum of space; only a handful made it to the escape pods in time." 203                          "Due to your gross incompetence and inability to protect the Nanny, you put yourself in the position of having to take out some of our best people in those escape pods. I hope that one day you learn to live with your conscience." 204                          "This mission should have been a turkey shoot but it turned into a pig circus. If we are going to win this war, and you are going to survive in this unit you\'d better buck up pretty damn fast.  Take this as a warning, failure is not an option. Much more of this and I\'ll personally see you charged with insubordination. I strongly advise that you avoid Captain Foster if you see him in the corridor.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 205                          "Also congratulations on receiving the Silver Cluster.  You\'ve joined a select few whose efforts have earned the recognition of the Alliance.  Your actions while protecting the Ulysses saved many lives, as well as bringing in valuable supplies.  Captain Foster was incredibly pleased with your performance, and personally put your name forward to high command.  Keep up the good work, and let\'s make the 45th Volunteers one of the most feared and hard-hitting squadrons in the Navy." 206                          "For your actions in helping destroy the Coalition Super Carrier, the C.S. Czar, High Command has decided to honor you with The Black Eagle, a medal which is given only for acts of great bravery. The destruction of the C.S. Czar is a major achievement for the Tigers, and the Captain is very proud of your efforts. Pilots like you make the Tigers what they are. Keep up the good work." 207                          "During these times, acts of extreme valour are expected and in great need. However, the actions you took when destroying the Research facilities, jump gate, and with it the Coalition Carrier C.S. Krasny, were far beyond that expected of any pilot in the Navy. Due to this, Alliance Command has awarded you with the Medal of Valour. You are a credit to this squadron and this ship.  I hope others will follow your example." 208                          "After your work helping the task force destroy the \""The Dark Reign\"", the captain felt you deserved to have your name put forward for your exemplary performance in combat.  Alliance High Command after reviewing the reports has awarded you with the Legion of Service. Congratulations, pilot; you are one of a few who have helped make the Tigers the respected and feared force they are." 209                          "Alliance High Command, under personal instructions from Admiral Caldwell, has decided to award you with the Navy Cross. Their decision was based on your contributions in rescuing Klaus Steiner, who we all believed to be dead, but now is back among us to add strength to our fight. This boost to Alliance morale will help our people and the men and women of the fleet.  You have brought honor to this ship and squadron." 210                          "You have been awarded the highest honor that the Alliance can bestow on you, The Alliance Medal of Honor. Your actions in destroying the Black Guard, the Coalition\'s most elite squadron as well as their carrier, the C.S Pukov has given the Alliance a huge lift while driving a stake into the heart of the Coalition. You have helped make the Tigers what they are today. The Navy and our people respect you" 211                          "In recognition of our efforts in consolidating and protecting the Fleet and Alliance over the last dark months of this war, Alliance Command has awarded the 45th  with the Alliance Defense Forces Mobilization Medal. Given to those who have served the Alliance and her people during this recent campaign, and in so doing halting the Coalition\'s advance." 212                          "Alliance Command has awarded the 45th Volunteers with the Long-Range Forces Commendation Medal.  This award represents the achievements of Alliance forces who over the last months, have kept a superior force off balance and away from Alliance territory, allowing the build up of the Alliance fleet to continue." 213                          "In recognition of the Tigers\' role in undermining and taking the fight to the Coalition during this phase of the conflict, Alliance Command has awarded us the Special Operations Service Medal. This commendation was created specifically for the Tigers for their efforts in the last campaign." 214                          "Alliance Command has awarded all Alliance forces who took part in the push on Titan the Joint Services Commendation Medal.  This commendation is for members of the Fleet who took part in pushing back and destroying a superior Coalition force, allowing for the liberation of Titan to begin." 215                          "In commemoration of the Liberation of Titan, Alliance High Command has awarded the men and women of the forward fleet who were involved in actions above and on Titan with the Battle of Titan Campaign Medal.  This medal celebrates the Alliance victory over Titan, the first occupied territory to regain its freedom." 216                          "One last thing pilot.  Today you lost a valuable ship, which is going to be hard to replace.  Obviously pilots are more important to us then hardware, but make sure you don\'t make a habit of this." 217                          "Once again it looks like you decided to eject and cost the Navy another fine craft.  It seems this is becoming a habit for you, and unfortunately some pilots are questioning whether you really needed to eject out there.  These types of accusations are not going to help anyone\'s morale or confidence, and when you\'re out in the cockpit a pilot has to know that he can rely on his wingman.  Let this serve as a warning, I don\'t want to have to address you over this subject again." 218                          "Ok, pilot, I guess I have not made myself clear so far.  So I\'ll put it like this. There are pilots on this boat who have lost all confidence in you; they believe you are ejecting because you are a coward, and they are unhappy flying with you. This is a final warning: If you eject again, I\'ll be forced to transfer you out of the unit to a less demanding post." 219                          "Your contributions and leadership abilities have been noticed by the Captain.  His request for your promotion has been approved by fleet Command and I\'m happy to announce your promotion to 1st Lieutenant with immediate effect.  Keep up the good work 1st Lieutenant." 220                          "Your service to the navy and the squadron has been recognized by Fleet Command.  It is with great pleasure that I can tell you that you have been promoted to Flight Lieutenant, effective immediately." 221                          "Your promotion has come through, well done Captain.  You serve as a good example to the rest of the squadron." 222                          "Effective immediately you have been promoted to Flight Captain.  Congratulations." 223                          "For some reason Command has seen fit to promote you again.  I guess someone must have let slip some of the good work you\'ve been doing out here.  Congratulations Lieutenant Commander, remember, responsibility comes with seniority." 224                          "You must have a friend in the Captain, his request for your promotion to full Commander has come through, congratulations pilot.  Too many more promotions and I\'ll no longer out rank you." 225                          "Also Congratulations are due, you have been promoted to Flight Commander.  Make sure you keep up the good example, and all the work you are doing out there." 226                          "I\'ve just received confirmation from Command of your promotion to Squadron Commander; the Admiral himself pushed it through. Although you now hold my rank, you will still be under my charge until you are transferred to your own command. Congratulations, you have come a long way in such a short amount of time." 227                          "Today you lost a valuable ship, which is going to be hard to replace.  Obviously pilots are more important to us than hardware, but make sure you don\'t make a habit of this." 228                          "Once again it looks like you decided to eject and cost the Navy another fine craft.

These fighters are now available for unrestricted use by all squadron members." 239                          "The Yamato has received a new shipment of fighters composed of the Patriot, the Wolverine, and the Reaper. These fighters are now available for unrestricted use by all squadron members." 240                          "The Yamato has received a new shipment of fighters composed of the Phoenix and the Shroud. These fighters are now available for unrestricted use by all squadron members." 241                          "Great job. Alliance Command has reported that the convoy has made it back into port intact. The materials that were on board will prove very useful to our efforts.  " 242                          "Captain Foster is also extremely pleased with the way you handled your first engagement with enemy capital ships. Fortunately for you the Yamato\'s unexpected arrival saved you the problem of taking them out." 243                          "It looks like all the training you were put through may actually pay off. Jake Tanner seemed quite impressed. He sent through a positive report on the 45th\'s performance. Keep up the good work, but remember we\'ve got a long way to go, and if we are going to win this war you need to keep your performance at this level.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 244                          "Alliance Command has reported that the convoy has made it back into port. Unfortunately the Mammoth that was destroyed in the attack was carrying materials that would have been very useful to our efforts. You need to redouble your efforts for next mission." 245                          "On the bright side, Captain Foster is pleased with the way you handled your first engagement against enemy capital ships. That at least will make up for the loss of one of our ships. Fortunately for you the Yamato\'s unexpected arrival saved you the problem of taking out the enemy cruisers. But remember, we\'ve got a long way to go, and if we are going to win this war an improvement in performance is needed." 246                          "We are out numbered and out gunned, and every Alliance pilot must be worth three of the enemy.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 247                          "You have disgraced this unit and embarrassed the officers and crew of this ship. You were left to guard the convoy, but unfortunately you proved yourself completely incapable of doing so." 248                          "You allowed both Mammoths to be destroyed. Many good men lost their lives, and you\'ve deprived the Alliance war effort of irreplaceable raw materials." 249                          "Commander Jake Tanner has sent a scathing report to the Captain as well as Alliance command." 250                          "If you want to earn the respect of the rest of the fleet, then you\'d better rethink your strategy. If this keeps up, you\'ll be transferred off this ship before you know it.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 251                          "Thanks to your good work we now will be getting some good intelligence from the early warning satellites, which the Condors laid down. What is even more pleasing is that although you were surprised by enemy fighters, you managed to protect the Condors, allowing them to finish deployment and then get them out of there without the loss of one of their ships." 252                          "The Condors were very pleased with you people. I believe they were quite impressed with some of your maneuvers out there." 253                          "I hear you also ran into Nicholai Petrov along with a wing of the Black Guard. Next time you meet him, make sure he dies a painful death." 254                          "Although he took out our cargo ship I wouldn\'t be too hard on your self, the report from Viper pretty clearly indicates that you guys had little chance of protecting it against such enemy numbers. Over all, that was a good display, pilot.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 255                          "Well we should start getting some intelligence from the early warning satellites that the Condors laid down." 256                          "Unfortunately, because you allowed Coalition fighters to take out part of the Condors\' wing, the radar net won\'t be quite as effective as we would have liked, but Alliance Command has reported that it will be sufficient." 257                          "The Condors aren\'t too happy with your performance. They feel that you left them hanging out there. Make sure you do better next time." 258                          "I hear you also ran into Nicholai Petrov along with a wing of the Black Guard." 259                          "If there is a next time, do the Alliance a favor and give him a painful death. He has a lot to answer for.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 260                          "This mission was a complete catastrophe.  " 261                          "You were ordered to protect the Condors so they could deploy their satellites, but you completely failed in your objective.  " 262                          "I want to ask why the Condors have been decimated, but you are still alive.  " 263                          "Because of your gross incompetence, Alliance Command has had to send out another mission to complete your objective for you.  " 264                          "Be warned, if you keep this up, you\'ll be flying a desk for the rest of your career. One more piece of advice, stay out of my sight for the next few days.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 265                          "My mission report indicates that the patrolling rogue wing en route to the target was destroyed. Your fast reaction to the situation prevented McGann\'s men from warning their base." 266                          "If McGann and his men had been left to continue their acts of piracy we would have undoubtedly lost many more valuable ships and resources to these traitors." 267                          "This is a sad day for the Alliance, having to track and destroy what was once one of the Fleet\'s most respected wing leaders and squadrons. This was no easy job, but we have dealt with the situation well and McGann\'s death will serve as a warning that we will show no mercy to those that turn traitor against the Alliance cause. Unfortunately, Viper escaped justice, but one day we will get our revenge and deal with that traitor once and for all. He\'s got nowhere to hide and his day of reckoning will come." 268                          "There were some tough calls out there today and they were dealt with well. You served the Tigers\' proud out there today.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 269                          "My mission report indicates a complete disaster out there. In failing to take out McGann\'s fighter wing in time, you allowed McGann\'s base to be warned of the attack and we lost any chance of taking him and his treacherous comrades out of the equation." 270                          "With McGann and his men still on the loose and his base still active they have been left to continue their acts of piracy unhindered and we will undoubtedly continue to lose valuable ships and resources to these traitors." 271                          "This is a sad day for the Alliance; having failed to track and destroy McGann and his men we still have what was once one of the Fleets\' most respected wing leaders and squadrons fighting against the cause." 272                          "You\'d better think long and hard about your actions today pilot. I will not tolerate this kind of substandard performance.\n\nEnriquez" 273                          "My mission report indicates an unmitigated disaster out there today. In failing to take out the Coalition fighter wing in time, you allowed our torpedo ships to be destroyed along with any chance of continuing the mission. We have now lost any chance of taking McGann and his treacherous comrades out of the equation. Let\'s hope we get another opportunity. You have caused the Captain great embarrassment and Command is demanding an explanation from him." 274                          "With McGann and his men still on the loose and his base still active they have been left to continue their acts of piracy unhindered, we will now undoubtedly continue to lose valuable ships and resources to these traitors." 275                          "This is a sad day for the Alliance; having failed to track and destroy McGann and his men we still have what was once one of the Fleets\' most respected wing leaders and squadrons fighting against the cause.\n\nYou better think long and hard about your actions today pilot, I will not tolerate this kind of substandard performance.\n\nEnriquez" 276                          "My mission report indicates that a Coalition wing and a patrolling rogue wing were taken out allowing Gamma to make it through to the target. Your flying and your fast reaction to the situation prevented McGann\'s men from warning their base." 277                          "If McGann and his men had been left to continue their acts of piracy we would have undoubtedly lost many more valuable ships and resources to these traitors." 278                          "We\'re sending to Command a special report noting that Brad Callan, Viper, once a respected wing leader of the 45th, was killed in action at our hands." 279                          "This is a sad day for the 45th Volunteers, but we have dealt with the situation and his death will serve as a warning that we will show no mercy to those that turn traitor against the Alliance cause. That was a tough call out there today and you dealt with it honorably." 280                          "The Tigers\' reputation has been saved, and you did the unit and the Captain proud.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 281                          "Outstanding performance." 282                          "Today has been a good day. You helped bring the Reliant into port for repairs without any further damage from the torpedo attack." 283                          "Klaus Steiner himself has contacted the Captain and spoken highly of the squadron." 284                          "On top of this feat, you assisted in disabling the Krasnaya\'s defenses enabling Gamma wing to launch the decisive torpedo attack that destroyed her.  You have turned a Coalition surprise attack into a victory for the Alliance." 285                          "A great all around display.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 286                          "Congratulations, you helped bring the Reliant into port for repairs allowing only minimal damage to the ship. Klaus Steiner himself has contacted the Captain and spoken highly of the squadron." 287                          "On top of this feat, you helped disable the Coalition Carrier C.S. Krasnaya\'s defenses enabling Gamma wing to launch the decisive torpedo attack that destroyed her." 288                          "Alliance Command is especially pleased with the Krasnaya\'s destruction, as she has been involved in the destruction of at least two of our supply convoys in the past few weeks." 289                          "Well done. Enjoy your leave.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 290                          "You helped bring the Reliant into port for repairs but unfortunately you allowed the Coalition to exact considerable damage on the ship. This is going to cost us dearly in supplies and time. " 291                          "I\'d suggest spending some time in the sim pod to sharpen your defensive abilities. We can\'t afford to expose the Reliant like that again." 292                          "However, on the positive side, you did help disable the Coalition Carrier C.S. Krasnaya, allowing Gamma wing to launch a decisive torpedo attack that destroyed her. " 293                          "Alliance Command is pleased with the Krasnaya\'s destruction, as she has taken out at least two of our supply convoys in the past few weeks." 294                          "Enjoy shore leave, take a rest, and when you come back make sure your results are better.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 295                          "Although you brought the Reliant into port for repairs, you allowed the Krasnaya to slip through our fingers." 296                          "Alliance Command is extremely unhappy with our performance. The Krasnaya has been involved in the destruction of at least two convoys in the last few weeks, and we had a real chance to take her out of the equation." 297                          "Captain Foster is furious, especially as Klaus Steiner has turned in a damning report over the squadron\'s incompetence in this engagement." 298                          "I\'m cancelling shore leave for all pilots. You\'ll be spending your time in the sim pod until we leave for active duty.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 299                          "Today has been a good day.  You have turned a surprise attack by the Coalition into a victory for the Alliance and her people.  " 300                          "Not only did you save the Reliant, but you battled and beat members of the Coalition Black Guard, killing their second in command Nicholai Petrov.  " 301                          "As you know Nicholai has been connected with several war crimes, and his demise will raise morale all over the Alliance.  " 302                          "I think we can expect some sort of retaliation for his death, his brother Ivan will want revenge.  " 303                          "Allied Command is extremely happy; hopefully they\'ll allow us some well deserved R&R. " 304                          "Congratulations pilot, you flew extremely well out there.  The attack was repelled with little to no damage to the Reliant, but the Coalition paid dearly in lives.  " 305                          "You fought the Coalition\'s most elite unit out there and came out on top.  " 306                          "The Black Guard aren\'t used to being beaten, maybe it\'ll make them think twice about attacking us again.  " 307                          "Unfortunately Nicholai Petrov managed to get away again.  Next time you meet him, make sure he pays for his crimes.    " 308                          "You performed adequately in the defense of the Reliant." 309                          "Although you helped repel the attack, and also destroyed elements of the Black Guard, the Reliant still sustained moderate damage.  " 310                          "Unfortunately Nicholai Petrov managed to get away again.  Next time you meet him, make sure he pays for his crimes." 311                          "Your performance out there today was lacking.  " 312                          "The Reliant came very close to being destroyed, one more torpedo hit would have probably broken the spine of the ship.  " 313                          "You need to work on defensive maneuvers, and listen up for threats.  I don\'t ever want to see you dogging around with an enemy fighter when a Kamov has its torpedoes locked onto us again." 314                          "Buck up pilot, and quick, because if this happens again either you\'ll have no where to land in deep space, or you\'ll be out of this unit." 315                          "Unfortunately Nicholai Petrov managed to get away again.  Next time you meet him, make sure he pays for his crimes." 316                          "This is Heidi Moore reporting for the Alliance Conflict News, June 24, 2160.

The data recovered suggests a Coalition attack force came through the warp gate and destroyed the command ship. At least we know how we\'ve been losing so many vessels recently." 375                          "The destruction of the warp gate will allow Alliance Command to rest easier and we will hopefully buy some time before they get another online.

Stationed on the ANS Endeavor, the Hellcats are a formidable squadron." 475                          "The 105th fighter squadron had a bad start in this conflict. Flying off the ANS Mitchell, the Cougars had to fight their way back to Neptune, and in doing so lost half of their fighter contingent. They ran into Admiral Kulov twice, and the Mitchell barely escaped capture or destruction, due in no small part to the valiant efforts of the Cougars. Their kill ratio at 1-2 is not an indication of the skill of the squadron\'s pilots." 476                          "The 109th is a fighter squadron with a rich history. Organized at the outset of the Europa Conflict, the Maulers have been protecting various Alliance positions for over 10 years. Their early record was not one to be proud of, but in this war they have performed well. Their kill ratio is a respectable 1-1. Since the beginning of the conflict, the Maulers have been based at Fort Carter, and have fought off three direct assaults on the base, garnering a healthy respect from both the Alliance and Coalition fleets." 477                          "The fighting 110th, known as the Pumas, is stationed on the ANS Washington. Led by the enigmatic Jake Tanner, they have distinguished themselves with their excellent performance since the outbreak of the war. Their kill ratio of 3-1 is outstanding, as they have faced overwhelming odds on most of their engagements. The Pumas have four confirmed Aces and several others who are on the verge of earning that status." 478                          "France\'s 205th is a highly decorated fighter squadron. They fought valiantly in the initial Coalition strike and lost two thirds of their unit during the first two weeks of the war. Fatigued and low on craft and pilots to fly them, they were ordered to stand down and report to the rear for rest and reinforcement. The Marauders earned their nickname in the Lunar Conflict, as they constantly hounded the Eastern Republic supply lines, thus crippling their war effort. Of the eight remaining pilots from the original Marauders, five are confirmed Aces. They have a very respectable kill ratio of 2-1. \""Good in a bar fight, but better in a dogfight\"" is their motto." 479                          "Germany\'s 306th squadron is strong in tradition and combat experience. Nicknamed the Jackals for their pack style of combat, they have been involved in almost all major wars, beginning with the Lunar Conflict of 2075. Since the outbreak of this war they have been assisting with the reorganization of the Alliance forces. They have racked up a respectable kill ratio of 3-2, while constantly fighting against superior enemy forces." 480                          "Germany\'s 307th squadron is one of the most decorated units under Alliance command. Veteran Ace Klaus Steiner is their commander, and under his leadership the Vampires have achieved an outstanding kill ratio of 4-1. The Vampires were the first Alliance unit to have success against the Coalition. On a routine patrol, they surprised a transport convoy, and took out 28 fighters and 3 large ships." 481                          "Germany\'s 311th, better known as the Jaguars, is a squadron with an excellent record. Based around Titan since the outbreak of the conflict, the Jaguars have been notching up many Coalition kills while protecting important convoys and vital Alliance supply lines. They have an excellent kill ratio of 2-1, earning quite a reputation with the enemy. The Jaguars are known for their precision tactics, and fly very well as a unit." 482                          "The 406th fighter squadron was formed at the beginning of the Lunar Conflict. In its first combat assignment, the squadron made a precision strike at the heart of an Eastern Republic forward battle group, cutting it in half and earning their nickname, the Blades. A very disciplined group of pilots who fly with uncanny skill and grace, the Blades have a very respectable kill ratio of 3-2. They are based at Fort Sherman, and have managed to stop the enemy from making any significant progress in their quadrant." 483                          "Japan\'s finest, the 409th, better known as the Ronin, is one of the most feared fighter squadrons in the Alliance. The Ronin are known for their deadly efficiency and honor. They strike quickly with incredible accuracy. For many years they had the difficult job of being a long-range assassination outfit, with only minimal supply support. The Ronin are now based on the Alliance\'s newest carrier, the Yamato. Under construction as the war broke out, this carrier and her squadron have now entered the fray with devastating results." 484                          "The 45th Volunteers were quickly formed to help the Alliance replace its depleted numbers at the outset of this conflict. Comprised mainly of former military and civilian personnel, the 45th is under the command of squadron leader Maria Enriquez, a skilled tactician who has earned several commendations as a combat pilot. Short on training, the 45th has a lot to prove in a short period of time." 485                          "At the outset of the war the Flying Tigers were known as the 45th Volunteers, a rag tag outfit that had little hope of surviving the early months of the conflict. They are now the only remaining Volunteer squadron still operative. They are fast becoming one of the Alliance\'s top squadrons and have survived several high-risk operations. Led by Maria Enriquez, the Tigers are known for their guts and tenacity in combat, with an ability to react to situations as they arise. Their kill ratio for capital ships and fighters is now one of the highest among Alliance squadrons." 486                          "Italy\'s 503rd was decimated at the beginning of the conflict. In the massive sneak attack by the newly formed Coalition, most of the Italian and French fleets were completely wiped out. The Stingers survived only because they were on a scheduled stand down, with about half of their unit on mandatory leave as the war broke out. They are currently based at Fort Lomax, and are anxious for a measure of revenge. This crack unit has a kill ratio of about 2-1, and is known for its \""take no prisoners\"" approach to battle.  " 487                          "The 51st Volunteers were formed soon after the conflict began. The Diamondbacks have enjoyed some success, but overall their skill level is reflected in their kill ratio, which is a poor 1-3. Relegated to the home defense fleet, they are working hard at improving their squadron\'s reputation. Individually they are fine pilots, but lack coordination as a unit. Their assignment to Fort Austin is giving them time to regroup, and get in some additional training." 488                          "Italy\'s 559th has been battling the Coalition since the beginning of this conflict. In early engagements, the enemy nicknamed them the Hornets, due to their swarming tactics. This attacking formation has proven so successful that Alliance High Command is thinking of adopting it as standard operation procedure. The Hornets kill ratio has been listed as high as 3-1, but is only confirmed as 2-1." 489                          "The British 604th Buccaneers are stationed on the ANS Victorious. They are new to the Alliance Forward Fleet and have been involved in only a few minor skirmishes, and are anxious to get a piece of the action. The Buccaneers were part of the Alliance reserve and were only called into active duty recently. Their kill ratio is even at 1-1; however that is due in part to their previous inactivity." 490                          "Britain\'s highly decorated 605th squadron, nicknamed the Pirates, missed the opening salvo of the conflict. They were on a routine operation around Pluto during the Coalition\'s surprise attack. Based on the Intrepid, the Pirates quickly got into the fight, and have been the most successful squadron in kill ratio terms since the conflict began, racking up an astounding 6 kills for every loss. It is rumored that the Coalition has a bounty for anyone who shoots down a Pirate. Very few bounties have been collected." 491                          "Britain\'s 606th, better known as the Black Aces, earned their moniker with a gambling style of combat. Based on the ANS Illustrious, the Aces have been on the front lines since the outset of the war. Their kill ratio has been hampered by their aggressive style of combat, and a quite respectable 2-1 could be higher if they took fewer risks. Always first into a firefight, they are highly respected as both an adversary and an ally." 492                          "The Alliance\'s 705th squadron was in action long before the outbreak of this conflict. This veteran unit is led by their enigmatic leader Colonel John McGann. During early engagements, Coalition fighters nicknamed them the Cobras, due to their seeming ability to strike from nowhere with deadly effect. The unconventional tactical style of their leader has proven extremely successful in covert operations. Alliance High Command has considered promoting McGann on several occasions but believes his unconventional style may set a bad example. The Cobras kill ratio has been listed as high as 5-1, but is only confirmed as 3-1, as most operations have been long range or clandestine in nature." 493                          "The infamous Black Guard is the most feared combat fighter unit in the conflict. Led by the brothers Ivan and Nicoli Petrov, they are renowned for their \""No mercy\"" style of combat. Based on the CS Pukov, they have destroyed numerous unarmed science stations, as well as taken part in raids on civilian transports. The Alliance wants desperately to take out the Black Guard, and the brothers are on the most wanted list along with Admiral Kulov." 494                          "One of the Tigris Confederation\'s most feared squadrons, the Black Sun has been harassing Alliance forces for over 15 years. Led by Hakeem Sharif, the Black Sun is responsible for numerous heinous attacks on civilian transports. They are implicated in the destruction of the French fleet at the beginning of the conflict, ignoring calls of surrender and destroying any and all Alliance ships, including medical transports. They fly off of the CS Kozah, and are wanted for war crimes by the Alliance." 495                          "The Golden Warriors, second only to the Black Sun in the East Asian fleet, are known to be ruthless and cunning. At the outset of the war they were a highly respected unit, who had built a reputation as a tough adversary, leading successful attacks against some of the Alliance\'s top squadrons. However, since then it is believed the Golden Warriors have been involved in covert operations or the protection of high security facilities, but there are few reports to confirm this." 496                          "The Saracens are based on the CS Rameses and are led by Al Rahan, and have built up a reputation as tough fliers. The Saracens participated in the initial attack on Europa and have been on the front lines, pushing the Alliance back to the outer rim of the solar system. Their kill ratio is believed to be around 3-1, although it cannot be confirmed." 497                          "The Scorpions were originally formed in the late twenty-first century, and their primary task has been the protection of Coalition convoys and supply lines. They are reported to have taken out an Alliance hospital ship and then destroyed all the escape pods. Ruthless and cunning, the Scorpions are wanted for several war crimes by Alliance High Command." 498                          "The Black Eagles are the Eastern Republic\'s least known squadron. Formed just before the start of the war, they are thought to be responsible for several hit-and-run attacks. Based on the CS Varyag, they are believed to model themselves after their brethren the Black Guard. Intelligence thinks they are responsible for many ambush attacks near the Jupiter/Mars asteroid belt. " 499                          "The Ravens were formed during the Lunar Conflict. They earned their name because of the infamous Midnight Madness raid on Lunar command, where they left no survivors during a night attack. The Ravens, renowned for their stealth attacks, are based on the Coalition\'s Forward Command center CS Boridin. They have been harassing Alliance bases from the outset of the conflict. The Ravens rarely fight one on one, preferring hit-and-run tactics to more typical fighter combat." 500                          "The Eastern Republic fighter squadron nicknamed the Sabers is based on the CS Gegarin. Formed during the Lunar Conflict, the Sabers are known for their courage and teamwork in combat. Highly respected by both the Alliance and the Coalition, the Sabers are made up primarily of volunteers from satellite countries and are still thought of as a mercenary unit.

Admiral Caldwell said that the people of the Alliance must give their leaders and military time to relieve the situation. Admiral Caldwell did not give additional details." 578                          "Alliance Command reports that the deployment of our fortifications off Neptune is proceeding well, with a net of early warning satellites and defense forts having now been laid around sectors surrounding Neptune.   " 579                          "Also today, the stream of incoming refugees continues, although military sources are sure that this influx cannot last much longer. With the fall of Fort Arthur, and with Fort Rushmore, our only remaining military outpost, under constant attack, the Alliance continues to fall back to the sectors surrounding Neptune." 580                          "In more news, the US Squadron Hellcats has been re-assigned from Neptune\'s home defense fleet to the carrier ANS Endeavor.

The activity has intensified, with reports that rogue Alliance units have carried out some of these actions. Although High Command has not confirmed these reports, an internal inquiry is underway over an incident involving a Colonel John McGann, a respected veteran wing leader who is believed to be implicated in several recent incidents of piracy. " 582                          "In other news the Cougars, the ANS Mitchell\'s fighter contingent, were involved in a running battle with a Coalition carrier group. The Cougars are reported to have destroyed two of the cruiser escorts, as well as a number of their fighters. The Cougars were said to have executed a precision attack on the Coalition force, causing the group to withdraw towards Saturn." 583                          "Alliance High Command has once again honored fighter Ace Klaus Steiner. In what has been called a noble action, Steiner saved a civilian hospital transport, under attack by Coalition forces. Steiner drew away enemy forces, giving his squadron time to move in and protect the convoy. Several enemy fighters believed to be from the infamous Black Sun squadron were destroyed. Admiral Caldwell awarded Steiner the Navy Cross on board the ANS Bremen." 584                          "The Admiral, already the most powerful military commander in Alliance Command, has announced that he will run for the Presidency of the newly formed Alliance Senate.

If elected, Caldwell will not only be the Allied Forces supreme commander, but also the leader of all free people in the Sol system." 585                          "With Fort Rushmore off Uranus now in Coalition hands, the Neptune quadrant remains the only free territory left in Sol. Many survivors from Fort Rushmore have safely escaped, but once again there have been reports of the wholesale murder of escaping civilians and military personnel. Alliance High Command believes that the refugees from Rushmore will be the last to make it to safety. Military sources indicate that the Coalition is closing a net around Neptune, and no more craft will get through without heavy military escort." 586                          "The fighter pilots of the fleet are again taking the limelight as the Jackals and the 45th Volunteers received tributes for their efforts over the past few months. The 45th, who have achieved some surprising results for a rookie outfit, were commended by High Command.   Most people felt that units like the 45th should be used only for light duties because they lacked previous military experience. The 45th, however, are certainly starting to change that perception." 587                          "Pirate activity continues along the Alliance\'s forward quadrants. A number of cargo and supply vessels have been commandeered by highly skilled pilots, certainly from a military background." 588                          "Command issued a statement today warning all military and civilian convoys to be vigilant and to report any sightings immediately. All attempts to track the rogue units have failed. Command confirmed, however, that these rogue units are being led by Colonel John McGann, a veteran Alliance squadron leader believed lost in action several weeks ago." 589                          "In other news, the first opinion polls for the upcoming presidential election are in. There seems to be little competition for Admiral Caldwell, who, if elections were to take place today, would be voted into office with 73% of the popular vote." 590                          "The re-grouped Alliance Fleet has moved into a new phase of the war. For months the fleet has been fighting a desperate defensive action, but in the last few weeks fleet operations have become more aggressive. Admiral Caldwell, who was asked to comment on these operations, stated, \""It is high time to take the war to our enemies.\""" 591                          "More reports have been received of wide scale violations of our colonists on Mars. It is believed thousands have been killed or detained in recent days after starving citizens began protests as the Coalition Council imposed new harsh rationing measures. " 592                          "Alliance Command has stated that all members of the Council will be placed on trial come the day of our victory and that justice will be done, no matter what the cost." 593                          "Colonel Pierre Besson, a high ranking French intelligence officer was arrested today on charges of espionage. Reports indicate that his wife supplied information that led to his arrest. Colonel Besson had top security clearance. There are no details yet on the sensitivity of the information he passed on, or how long he was involved in these activities." 594                          "Pirate activity is once again on the rise, with reports of another Alliance military convoy coming under attack. Sources within the military have indicated that this activity is becoming a major problem. Not only are supplies threatened, but additional military escorts must be diverted to protect every major convoy route. Military Intelligence has not yet located the pirates\' base of operations. With the war escalating, it may be some time before these rogue units are brought to justice." 595                          "Reports have come in that the Alliance Forward Fleet has made its most daring raid yet, attacking a docking facility in orbit around Saturn. This long-range attack illustrates the Alliance\'s determination to take the fight to the enemy, and signifies how far Alliance forces have come this year. After the Deimos betrayal, Alliance forces seemed close to defeat. With our forces now on the offensive, pressure is being relieved on our remaining stations around Neptune." 596                          "Fort Rushmore near Uranus has been returned to Alliance control. The carriers Endeavor, Bremen, and Yamato, supported by marines, attacked and destroyed Coalition forces defending the base.  Admiral Caldwell said in a statement \""The liberation of Fort Rushmore is a testament to the skill and bravery of our forces. In times to come it will be seen as the first step that propelled us towards the liberation of our former territories.\""" 597                          "At the trial of the alleged traitor, Colonel Pierre Besson, the prosecution presented their charges. The most notable was that Besson passed on the location and activities of the Alliance Fleet before the onset of the war, which gave the Coalition the element of surprise. If found guilty, he is likely to be sentenced to death." 598                          "In another report, the Italian 503 squadron known as the Stingers encountered a heavily defended Coalition convoy. The Stingers made a valiant attempt to destroy what was believed to be the carrier CS Krelov and its fighters. The Stingers, however, were all but destroyed and the remnants of the squadron have withdrawn awaiting further reinforcements." 599                          "There is no news of survivors. Reports suggest pilots were gunned down in their ejection pods before the convoy moved on. Once again the Coalition has illustrated its disregard for any code of military conduct or human rights." 600                          "Alliance Senators expressed outrage and have vowed to bring those responsible to justice. At this time, however, our thoughts must go to the families of those brave servicemen and women." 601                          "Morale remains high as reports indicate that the Coalition is pulling back their hunting packs to regroup around Saturn. It is believed, however, that the bulk of the Coalition units are heading for front-line quadrants to reinforce its Forward Fleet. Alliance forces are in full readiness for what is likely to become the bloodiest phase in the war." 602                          "In other news, the 45th Volunteers have found themselves a new name. A remark by Allied top ace, Klaus Steiner, has taken hold. Steiner compared their bravery and skill to the \""Flying Tigers\"" of Earth\'s Second World War squadron. Alliance command officially changed the squadron name to the \""45th Tigers\"" in recognition of their achievements. Well done, Tigers!" 603                          "Alliance forces, including the Carriers Yamato and Washington, pushed far into Coalition lines in recent operations, destroying a number of enemy convoys, as well as a Coalition forward supply base. Although Coalition forces attempted to counter attack, further losses along their front lines denied them reinforcements. Once again new aggressive tactics seem to be paying off, as the Coalition is forced onto the defensive." 604                          "Admiral Caldwell is now almost certainly going to be voted in as the First Alliance President, after his main challenger, Terrance Hanlay, withdrew from the leadership contest. Hanlay, who refused to be interviewed, sent a press release stating that he was pulling out of the race due to ill health." 605                          "A report this week states that Alliance forces, led by the 45th Tigers flying off the ANS Reliant, found and destroyed a mercenary base used by deserters from both Alliance and Coalition forces. Military intelligence believes this was most certainly the base of operations responsible for the recent convoy raids. Admiral Caldwell commended the Tigers performance, saying they are an example for all in the Alliance." 606                          "The final chapter closed today on the trial of Colonel Pierre Besson. The court found him guilty of three counts of treason and sentenced him to death. Colonel Besson had remained silent throughout the damning evidence at his trial, and even when sentenced gave no hint of emotion. He is due to be executed by firing squad on Sunday." 607                          "Alliance forces have had several notable victories over the last few weeks. Coalition forces, however, have hit back, striking deep into Alliance lines. Supply routes were cut as our convoys were attacked and destroyed. In one skirmish, the ANS Valiant, commanded by Admiral Jacobs, was destroyed." 608                          "This Coalition attack group was lead by the Carrier CS Pukov, base ship of the Black Guard.   The Pukov has since returned to Coalition lines.  " 609                          "Alliance top ace Klaus Steiner, who was a close friend of Admiral Jacobs, stated that the Black Guard would pay dearly for their actions." 610                          "The Alliance Fleet achieved its greatest victory yet. In a combined operation, the fleet destroyed a Coalition Class-1 carrier, the Gegarin. The loss of one of the Coalition\'s largest carriers will be a heavy burden for the Coalition, but most importantly it is a symbol to the Alliance that this is a war that can be won.  " 611                          "Even with this victory, military sources were quick to point out that the Coalition is far from reeling. Latest reports indicate that the Coalition still has twice as many Carriers as the Alliance." 612                          "Alliance Command has reported the sad loss of one of their most respected officers, Captain Robert Foster. Captain Foster, who is credited with turning the 45th Volunteers into one of the best squadrons in the Alliance Fleet, sacrificed his life to save his pilots and crew along with several other vessels in the vicinity. With the Tigers fighting insurmountable odds, Foster rammed the ANS Reliant into the CS Volga, destroying both the Reliant and the Volga, but allowing the Tigers and other vessels to withdraw.  " 613                          "Alliance Command has ordered that the ANS Yamato, the base ship of the Ronin squadron, will now also become the permanent home for the 45th Tigers." 614                          "The last few weeks in the war have been a mix of great sorrow and fortune for the Alliance.   This week brings the worst news for the Alliance since the beginning of the war. Klaus Steiner, top Allied ace and hero, along with the rest of the Vampire squadron were ambushed and killed by Ivan Petrov and the Black Guard. Their carrier the ANS Bremen was also destroyed. " 615                          "The news has shaken morale throughout the Alliance, as Steiner and his squadron were rated as the Alliance\'s best. Their demise at the hands of the Butcher Petrov has added insult to injury, for an Alliance that only weeks ago seemed to be turning the tide of the war." 616                          "Admiral Caldwell called on Alliance forces to redouble their efforts in the wake of Steiner\'s death, calling on squadrons such as the Tigers to step up and help drive the Coalition out of the occupied territories." 617                          "The breaking news today from Alliance Command is that Admiral Kulov, one of the Alliance\'s most wanted war criminals, has been captured. Kulov, who masterminded the Coalition surprise attack at the beginning of the war, is also believed to be behind the cold-blooded murder of many prisoners of war and civilians.  " 618                          "The news is a great boost for Alliance forces after the loss of Klaus Steiner. It also seems that Admiral Caldwell\'s emotional and influential speech after the death of Steiner paid off, as once again the Tigers were the lead unit involved in the attack and capture of Kulov." 619                          "The Alliance continues to push forward to Saturn\'s moons. Reports suggest that the Allied liberation of Titan is not far off, a move which can only strengthen the Alliance by gaining many new resources for the war effort.   " 620                          "With the news of the destruction of the Coalition\'s capital-ship killer gun near Titan, it seems that the capture of the moon is inevitable. Transports carrying troops for the invasion have been leaving in huge numbers from Neptune space, for almost a month now. Although Coalition forces on Titan are cut off, reports indicate that the Coalition has dispatched their Second Fleet to break the Allied blockade. High Command is strengthening its position around Saturn, in order to give its forces time to liberate Titan.  " 621                          "News of the impending liberation of Titan is being met with mixed emotions. Many are excited that they may see family members stranded since the outbreak of the conflict.   Others fear the worst, recalling the terrible reports of the treatment of civilians and prisoners during the early months of the conflict." 622                          "The war almost took a very serious turn for the worst this week. Alliance Forces supporting the liberation of Titan were caught off guard when a Coalition force bypassed Saturn and attempted a surprise attack at Alliance HQ around Neptune. Once again it was the Tigers and Ronin flying off the Yamato who cut off the Coalition group from Alliance Command, and led the assault, destroying several enemy vessels and support craft. With the main assault force broken up, the Coalition retreated back to their own lines ." 623                          "Alliance forces blockading Saturn\'s moon Titan have successfully held Coalition reinforcements at bay, allowing Alliance ground forces time to push the Coalition back on the ground. Reports indicate that almost a third of Titan has been liberated and although it seems only a matter of time before an Allied victory there, the conflict has already claimed over one million Alliance lives." 624                          "Reports are being received that Klaus Steiner, believed killed in action, is alive and has been rescued from the hands of the Coalition. The Flying Tigers led the rescue to free Steiner, who was being held prisoner aboard a Coalition prison ship. " 625                          "Military sources have not yet commented on the condition of Steiner or details of the action. Steiner is recuperating aboard the ANS Yamato. The news is spreading fast throughout the Alliance Fleet, and Admiral Caldwell is said to have talked to Steiner personally to welcome him back from his ordeal." 626                          "Also this week, Alliance forces on Titan, after bitter ground fighting, have finally secured the capital Talius. The last compound to be captured was the Coalition\'s headquarters.   Several high-ranking officers and officials have been captured and arrested. All are to face war crimes charges." 627                          "Admiral Kulov, while being escorted from the ANS Yamato to Alliance Command near Neptune, escaped. The Black Guard, headed by Ivan \""The Butcher\"" Petrov, attacked and completely destroyed his escort, the Ronin squadron. Alliance Command is furious that Kulov has been allowed to slip from their grasp. The Tigers, who lost their sister squadron, are said to be even more determined to destroy the Black Guard once and for all. " 628                          "Klaus Steiner, rescued a few weeks ago, gave his first interview yesterday. He refused to go into details about his ordeal, but applauded the bravery of his rescuers, and stated that he is now rested and ready to rejoin the fight against the Coalition.  " 629                          "Alliance forces finally liberated Titan this week, overrunning the last pocket of Coalition resistance. The Coalition had held out in their Mountain Fortress near the settlement of Banick, until Allied Marines breached their perimeter. There are reports of rogue bands of Coalition troops hiding around Titan, but all organized defenses have been broken.    \nAlliance engineers are hard at work rebuilding Titan\'s infrastructure to get much needed supplies of food for its people and materials for the war effort back online.\n" 630                          "Alliance war crimes representatives have begun investigations on Titan. Reports are still vague, but it seems that in one settlement just outside of Talius nearly 1,000 bodies were discovered." 631                          "In more news this week, the Alliance Fleet has once again struck hard at the Coalition. In a daring raid the Tigers, supported by the Cougars and other units, destroyed the Coalition\'s Second Fleet Command Ship the CS Varyag, as well as its supporting craft. The Coalition can no longer threaten a counter offensive against Titan. " 632                          "Alliance forces, after regrouping for repair and resupply around Titan, have begun to push against the Coalition. Reports suggest that the Alliance is moving towards the strategic hub of Europa, Ganymede, and Io. The liberation of these moons, and their industrial strength, is crucial for victory.  " 633                          "Although Alliance forces have managed to push the Coalition back, it has been at great cost. With the loss of several front line carriers, and veteran wings such as the Vampires and Ronin, the Alliance knows it must get Titan\'s economy back to full strength to reinforce their strength. Recruitment won\'t be a problem, however. Since the liberation of Titan, there has been no shortage of volunteers." 634                          "Reports this week have also come through of the impressive 45th Tigers attacking one of the Coalition\'s main supply depots around Jupiter and capturing much needed supplies.   We should have further details on this operation in later broadcasts." 635                          "Alliance High Command has reported that the Yamato and the 45th Tigers engaged and destroyed the infamous Coalition carrier the Pukov and its fighter contingent, the Black Guard. No news has yet been received as to the outcome of the battle but sources close to the military suggest both ships were heavily damaged. We know, however, that the Yamato survived the encounter." 636                          "Reports also indicate that the war criminal Ivan Petrov, who was involved in the engagement, is still at large. Alliance Command vows that he will be captured or killed." 637                          "Other elements of the Alliance Fleet have also pushed forward, drawing lines of conflict around Jupiter. Once again, however, there are reports that the Coalition, bolstered by new fleets created in the shipyards on Earth and Mars, is preparing for another assault on Alliance forces." 638                          "This is Operation Shield, the aim of which is to secure the surrounding area and protect any Alliance ships going to Neptune\'s moon Triton." 639                          "The 45th Volunteer squadron is assigned a British convoy consisting of one heavy cargo carrier and a number of light transports, which the 45th must escort safely back to Fort Sherman." 640                          "Neptune is the primary destination for the remnants of the Alliance Fleet, and consequently a hot zone for Coalition hunter killer squadrons." 641                          "The aim of the mission is to sweep the surrounding quadrants for any incoming Alliance vessels and escort them to Fort Baxter.\n\nFlying with the 45th are the Pumas, a veteran American outfit led by Jake Tanner." 642                          "The 45th must locate a flight recorder from a missing Alliance command ship named the Mantis.\n\nThe signal from the Mantis was lost moments after she began transmitting a distress call. Intelligence is concerned that a Coalition group may be working behind their lines." 643                          "The 45th provides backup for top guns, the Vampires. Senior officer on the mission is Squadron Leader Klaus Steiner." 644                          "Due to a blind spot in their forward defenses, intelligence sends out one of their radar installation squadrons, the Condors, to plug the gap. \n\nThe 45th\'s job is to provide fighter cover." 645                          "Once the drop zone has been given the all clear, the Condors move in and deploy early warning satellites." 646                          "Alliance supplies are running critically low.\n\nDue to this situation, Command orders several fully laden carriers trapped behind enemy lines to make a run for Alliance territory." 647                          "Because of the long-range nature of this mission, the Reliant is not available for backup; her presence would arouse too much Coalition interest. Therefore, the 45th must fly alone.\n\nUpon rendezvous at nav point 3, the 45th takes up escort positions and provides fighter cover up to the Alliance forward line." 648                          "A distress call is received from an inbound convoy en-route to Triton Command.\n\nThe convoy consists of a number of fully laden cargo carriers, but more importantly the ANS Ulysses, a commandeered civilian liner, transporting high-ranking military and Senate personnel." 649                          "The convoy has been under constant attack, losing their fighter cover and sustaining heavy damage.\n\nThe 45th must rendezvous with the Ulysses and the heavy cargo carriers, then escort them to Fort Baxter where the convoy will undergo repairs and resupply." 650                          "Intelligence reports confirm that the CS Ramases, a Russian carrier, is en-route to rendezvous with an incoming Coalition battle group.  She is shy on fighter support, leaving her open for attack.\n\nThe 45th\'s first objective is to intercept the Ramases and eliminate any remaining fighters, and then destroy the carrier\'s flak turrets." 651                          "This clears the way for Gamma wing to perform a torpedo attack on the Ramases." 652                          "War has broken out all over the Sol system, and Alliance losses are severe. The French and Italian fleets are virtually wiped out, and despite valiant attempts by Alliance forces, Earth and all major colonies have been overrun. " 653                          "Despite these major setbacks the Alliance has rallied, and with the protection of Operation Shield, Alliance craft from all over the system have made the exodus to Triton. The restructuring of the fleet can now begin.\n\nAlthough the emphasis has been on regrouping, counter strikes against the enemy have taken place, notably the CS Lenin destroyed by the Ronin." 654                          "The Reliant is ordered to go directly to Fort Carter for repairs and resupply." 655                          "The 45th rides shotgun in front of and behind the Reliant, just in case any unwelcome guests appear." 656                          "The Reliant teams up with the ANS Endeavor and her base squadron the Hellcats to intercept a large Coalition strike force." 657                          "The key objective is to attack a Coalition Class 2 carrier in the group, while a Marine boarding craft hits the command ship to obtain vital data about enemy movements.\n\nLeading the Marine boarding party is Lieutenant Commander Stahl." 658                          "The Coalition\'s warp capability is giving them a strong advantage, illustrated by their attacks along the frontier. The Alliance has to neutralize this quickly, so that they can gain the upper hand when their own warp technology is operational." 659                          "Reconnaissance indicates that this jump gate activity is being coordinated from the Latov Asteroid Observation Base. This mission\'s primary objective is destruction of the base.\n\nThe 45th and Gamma wing move out three nav points and locate the base using scanners. After neutralizing its defenses, the 45th must penetrate the base with missiles to destroy it." 660                          "Intelligence receives reports that the Coalition has almost finished the construction of a new super carrier, the Czar, which will outclass any ship in the Alliance Fleet. To make matters worse the Coalition now has a new advanced warp gate system online, which, if used in conjunction with the Czar, could severely compromise the Alliance.\r\n\r\nUsing captured Coalition data the Alliance Tech Division has produced a prototype warp projector capable of creating a temporary wormhole big enough for a single fighter to slip through, ideal for covert ops." 661                          "The 45th and Gamma wing attack the ship yard and must explode the Czar\'s power cores to set off a chain reaction which will destroy the carrier. \n\nOnce again the 45th are joined by the Vampires and Klaus Steiner." 662                          "The Alliance has made up some ground in the technology race with their warp projectors, and the next step is to match the Coalition\'s advanced warp systems and stealth capabilities." 663                          "Alliance intelligence identifies an asteroid base that holds the Coalition\'s technology secrets, and the 45th\'s task is to escort a boarding team in a Limpet ship to the station, then punch a hole through the defensive perimeter to allow insertion of a boarding party.\n\nOnce the information has been gathered and the boarding party is clear, the 45th must destroy the asteroid station." 664                          "Operation Shield is a major success. Over 45% of the Alliance Fleet has reached the safety of Triton, which is impressive considering the setbacks suffered at the outbreak of the conflict. " 665                          "The Alliance has taken the fight to the enemy, utilizing hit and run tactics against them. With losses mounting, and supply lines under constant attack, the Coalition forward fleet is forced to withdraw to Titan." 666                          "The 45th are given a new squadron name, the Flying Tigers.\n\nTech division is about to bring the Alliance\'s own warp gate system online. However, a lack of fuel cells is holding this up.\n\nIntelligence identifies a Coalition mining base that is producing fuel cells for their warp gates. The mission is to liberate some of this fuel and destroy the facility." 667                          "The Tigers provide fighter support for a Japanese squadron called the Ronin, flying off the ANS Yamato. They are joined by a detachment of Rippers, whose task is to pick up the fuel cells.\n\nOnce the fuel is liberated and the mining base destroyed, the Rippers are to be escorted back to Fort Sherman." 668                          "The Alliance\'s supply lines are attacked by a group of rogue traitors led by Colonel McGann." 669                          "A convoy carrying an arms shipment is dispatched to lure the traitors into the open, and it\'s the Tigers job to destroy them when they do. " 670                          "Alliance spies locate the nerve center of Coalition warp gate operations, a facility next to a huge advanced warp gate.\n\nThe Tigers and Gamma wing warp to a designated point close to the facility, and the Tiger\'s must eliminate any perimeter defenses." 671                          "Once this is done, Gamma wing must destroy the facility with torpedoes before returning to the Reliant.\n\nThe Tigers\' remaining job is the destruction of the warp gate." 672                          "The Tigers and Gamma wing launch a surprise attack on the CS Gegarin, a Class 1 carrier from the Coalition Forward Fleet.\n\nAfter engaging this ship with both fighter and torpedo attacks the two wings retreat to the Reliant, in order to lure the Gegarin and her support ships into pursuit." 673                          "The Reliant leads the Gegarin into the Kaiserlauden asteroid belt where the ANS Mitchell and her squadron, the Cougars, are lying in wait." 674                          "Long-range scanners pick up traces of Coalition ion trails in the sector." 675                          "Captain Foster orders a general sweep of four nearby nav points, and the Tigers are ordered to report back any findings to the Reliant." 676                          "Captain Robert Foster sacrifices his life to save his pilots and crew along with several other vessels in the vicinity. With the Tigers fighting insurmountable odds, Foster turns the ANS Reliant around and rams the CS Volga, destroying both the Reliant and the Volga, but allowing the Tigers and other vessels to withdraw." 677                          "\n" 678                          "For the first time in the war the Alliance is beginning to turn things around, and the Coalition knows it. To capitalize on this, Alliance Command intends to begin counter attacks immediately." 679                          "The Yamato, with the Ronin and Tigers, engage the CS Morzov while the Alliance carrier Bremen and the Vampire squadron take on the CS Pukov, base ship of the infamous Black Guard." 680                          "The push towards the liberation of Titan continues. In a series of battles to loosen the enemy\'s hold over the colony, forward fleets from both sides clash. After a number of brutal encounters the Coalition\'s Forward Fleet is all but destroyed." 681                          "The advances come at a cost, with the loss of top guns the Vampires and their base carrier the Bremen. Reports implicate the infamous Black Guard.\n\nAlso lost is the ANS Reliant. Her squadron, the Tigers, evacuate before she is rammed into the CS Volga by her captain, Robert Foster. Both carriers are destroyed. This sacrifice saves the heavily damaged ANS Victorious from certain destruction." 682                          "The Alliance begins its push to liberate Titan, to free Allied civilians, and secure a major resource and production center.\n\nIntelligence reveals the captured ConNexus code, giving them access to Coalition movements." 683                          "These include the imminent arrival of a high-ranking admiral at the Coalition front line, and the Ronin and Tiger squadrons are deployed to intercept and engage this group.\n\nThey are instructed to apprehend the admiral and bring him back for questioning." 684                          "It turns out that the captured admiral is none other than Admiral Kulov, architect of the destruction of the French and Italian Fleets.\n\nDuring interrogation he reveals details of a new \""super gun\"" platform, which the Coalition is about to bring online near Titan." 685                          "The weapon has the capability to destroy a capital ship with just one charge and must be dealt with before it comes online.\n\nThe time window for destruction of the super gun is narrow, because a new Coalition Second Fleet is believed to be moving in to reinforce Titan.\n\nThe Yamato and Victorious are now fitted with internal warp drives and are assigned the task of destroying the platform." 686                          "The battle for Titan continues. Fighting is fierce with the forward fleet concentrating its attacks against Titan\'s orbiting defense platforms.\n\nOne target posing a deadly threat is a Coalition ION Cannon. It was destroyed by squadrons from the forward fleet, but its elimination comes at a cost, with the loss of the ANS Victorious." 687                          "During the campaign, Admiral Kulov, architect of the Deimos betrayal, is captured on his way to a morale-boosting tour of the Coalition front line. \n\nWith the elimination of all Coalition orbital defenses around Titan, construction of Fort Bear is green lighted. \n\nThe liberation of Titan is now only weeks away, with the forward task force moving into position just off the planet." 688                          "Once again the ConNexus code proves to be invaluable.  While the majority of the Alliance Fleet is engaged around Titan, intelligence discovers Coalition plans to attack Alliance Command off Neptune." 689                          "The Coalition attack group is already underway, and their strength as yet is unknown. The Yamato is the only Alliance carrier in the sector capable of catching them before they strike Alliance Command, so it is given the job of stopping them." 690                          "Klaus Steiner, believed killed in action, is alive and is being held on a Coalition prison ship, the Saladin, currently en-route to Europa." 691                          "Using new prototype stealth fighters, the 45th must rescue Steiner and other POWs by neutralizing the Saladin\'s defenses and allowing boarding ships to pick up the prisoners. " 692                          "Due to recent Alliance successes the Coalition front line begins to fragment, and a convoy is detected trying to make a run for Coalition space. The 45th must stop it from regrouping with other enemy ships." 693                          "The convoy is made up of a Class 2 carrier, the CS Ufelsky, Scarab troop carriers, a Berijev command ship and an escort of heavy fighters." 694                          "Alliance forces begin to prevail on Titan, but it is imperative that the Coalition is stopped from reinforcing their ground forces with troops from their second fleet." 695                          "Masquerading as a returning Coalition squadron, the 45th pilots fly captured Kamov torpedo bombers through the Coalition Fleet toward their target, the flagship CS Varyag.\n\nThey are supported by the Alliance carriers Endeavor and Mitchell, along with the Yamato." 696                          "The liberation of Titan is complete. On March 23rd at 1600 hours the Alliance invasion begins. Fighting is fierce, with the Coalition occupation force putting up a determined defense. Resistance finally crumbles when the defenders receive word that the Coalition task force sent to reinforce them has been intercepted and destroyed by squadrons from the forward fleet. \n\nWith all pockets of Coalition resistance eliminated, the Alliance flag once again flies over Titan\'s capital." 697                          "With Titan liberated and Fort Bear nearly complete, preparations are underway for the advance on Jupiter. Taking part in the advance are a number of former Alliance POWs liberated in a daring raid on the Coalition prison ship Saladin.\n\nAdmiral Kulov, in transit to Triton High Command, is rescued by the Black Guard. The Ronin are lost in the ambush.\n\nIn a daring attack the 45th Tigers succeed in destroying the Coalition Flagship CS Varyag, using captured enemy torpedo bombers. In the ensuing battle the remnants of the Coalition Second Fleet are all destroyed. The only Alliance casualty is the ANS Endeavor. With the destruction of the Coalition Second Fleet, all roads now lead to Venus." 698                          "The Yamato is damaged and low on supplies, but Captain Mukai formulates a plan to raid a Coalition supply depot, the Kronstadt." 699                          "The Tigers hit the Kronstadt\'s defenses, and once they are down, Rippers and light cargo ships move in to remove the supplies before returning to Fort Bear." 700                          "The Yamato finds itself close to the CS Pukov, base ship of the Black Guard. Command wants it eliminated before the final push on the Coalition\'s Forward Command station off Jupiter." 701                          "The Tigers engage the Black Guard while the Yamato takes on the Pukov. The Tigers are joined by Klaus Steiner, hungry for revenge after the loss of the Vampires." 702                          "Intelligence discovers the Coalition Forward Command Station is equipped with an ion weapon similar to the super gun that destroyed the Victorious. This makes a frontal assault by the Yamato suicidal." 703                          "It is also believed that Admiral Kulov, Ivan Petrov, and the remnants of the Black Guard are stationed there.\n\nIn a two-pronged attack, the Yamato launches the Tigers and Gamma wing, and the ANS Intrepid launches the Pirates. Once the fighters neutralize the station\'s defenses, the two Alliance carriers move in for the kill." 704                          "The Coalition\'s signing of the Balma Treaty will end decades of colonial conflict. \n\nCoalition dignitaries arrive on Jupiter\'s moon Europa to take part in this historic event. All over the solar system Alliance fleets are standing down.\n\nAdmiral Kulov was about to land on Europa when his Eastern Coalition forces launched surprise attacks all over the system, catching the Alliance forces by complete surprise. Survivors can now only retreat." 705                          "The French and Italian fleets take heavy losses, and prisoners are ruthlessly executed.\n\nDespite putting up fierce resistance, Base Kennedy finally succumbs to insurmountable odds.

Intelligent, tough, and resourceful." 945                          "Captain of the ANS Reliant, a veteran who came out of retirement after both of his sons were killed in action at the outbreak of the war. Realizing that the Alliance faced a critical shortage of pilots, he proposed the creation of the 45th Volunteer squadron. An accomplished and resourceful tactician, he commands great respect from his officers and crew. His career spans nearly four decades, from flying combat fighters to the command of the largest ships in the fleet. Preferring active service to hiding in a command bunker, he deftly avoided promotion to a higher rank. He retired as the Alliance\'s most decorated ship captain. A tough and resilient leader." 946                          "A veteran who was born to fight, not one to back down in a difficult situation. A good team player who sticks by his fellow pilots through thick and thin. Resourceful and intelligent with a strong sense of duty, he is well liked by fellow pilots and superiors. He has turned down promotions to stay in combat. Intelligent, strong willed, and resourceful." 947                          "A brilliant tactician and fighter pilot, he has fought all over the Sol system for the Alliance. Naturally cunning, to the point where it became a concern for his senior officers. McGann has a long and distinguished career in covert and front-line operations." 948                          "Captain of the Yamato. The youngest graduate in Academy history, graduating top of his class at age 19, he rose through the ranks without a blemish on his record. His leadership has produced kill ratios among the highest in the Alliance, and he is renowned for his coolness and depth of military knowledge. Once one of the best fighter pilots of his generation, he played a vital role in some of the later, more hazardous colonization campaigns. He\'s not known for his charisma as a senior officer, but he still commands great respect from his pilots and superiors. An excellent strategic mind. Fair and calm, but tough." 949                          "With a service record longer than the journey to Pluto, this guy has seen action on the ground of most occupied planets. A master of weapons and tactics, he splits responsibilities between deck officer and coordinating special ops missions. Rumor has it that in his prime he boarded a Russian command ship in a hard vacuum, killed the pilots, reprogrammed the autopilot to head out of the Sol system at maximum speed, and then jumped off the ship to be picked up by a support team. It\'s been suggested that the Russian officers on board only realized their fate after dinner when one of them noticed Pluto becoming a vanishing dot in space. Tough, firm, but fair." 950                          "The leader of the top German squadron the Vampires, he has been the top pilot in the Alliance for many years. He has a reputation for being a savvy leader who reads a combat situation instinctively. Still very comfortable in the cockpit, he has written papers on modern dog fighting techniques, and was a familiar figure at the Academy\'s elite school before war broke out. Confident, skilled, and experienced." 951                          "An Alliance ace who commands the respected Ronin squadron. Highly motivated and an excellent tactician, he is admired by many throughout the Alliance forward fleet. His outstanding record speaks for itself. He was awarded the Navy Cross in 2158 for his actions against the Black Guard during a border conflict near Mars. He saved several high-ranking Alliance personnel from ambush. Fellow officers have tipped him as a future carrier commander. Highly committed, a courageous and honorable pilot who leads from the front." 952                          "An Alliance ace who now commands the hardy and reliable Puma squadron. Practical and courageous, he is the type of character who is good to have around when things get tough. His outstanding record of service speaks for itself, with the rescue of a crippled passenger liner near Neptune being the most noteworthy. Level-headed and tough." 953                          "He rose quickly through the ranks, due in no small measure to his connections inside the Coalition Secret Police and Political Council. Kulov has positioned himself as the next great Coalition leader. The destruction of the Franco-Italian fleets was his brainchild, and his greatest military achievement to date. He believes that the Coalition must destroy the Alliance or become a second rate power in the next era of space colonization. Ruthless and cunning, a deadly adversary. His conduct has been morally questionable." 954                          "Leader of the Black Guard, the Republic\'s top gun squadron. Petrov is without question the Republic\'s premier ace who fights alongside his younger brother Nicolai as his second in command. The Black Guard has been used frequently to subdue internal uprisings and colonial disputes. The brothers and their Black Guard are the nemesis of the Alliance Forward Fleet. Cold and calculating with a hatred for the Alliance, they are out-and-out killers. He has a wealth of combat experience against the Alliance. Cold blooded, cunning, and fearless with a high intelligence. Highly dangerous. Engage with extreme caution." 955                          "A Coalition ace, bettered only by his brother, he is the Black Guard\'s second in command. Infamous for his extremely violent and sadistic nature. It is believed he is psychologically unstable and has remained in the Black Guard mainly due to his brother\'s influence within Coalition high command. Despite this instability, he is a fearless pilot with outstanding skills. Engage with extreme caution. Volatile and cold-blooded, infamous for his use of excessive force. Highly dangerous." 956                          "A Coalition ace and squadron leader of the Saracens, the Confederation\'s top combat squadron, based on the CS Ramases. Al-Rahan is a natural flyer who gets the most from his ship using guile and strategy. A tough and resourceful pilot capable of killing without conscience or mercy. Highly dangerous and unpredictable. Deceptive and cunning. Engage with extreme caution." 957                          "A Coalition ace and the squadron leader of the Golden Warriors, one of the Federation\'s most secretive squadrons. Little is known about this flyer hence the reference to his callsign \""Red Dragon.\"" However, his squadron was reported to have been involved in several battles and he led several highly successful Coalition attacks in the early days of the conflict. Since then it is believed that the Golden Warriors have been involved in covert operations or the protection of high-security facilities. A natural leader and a calculating and aggressive flyer. Engage with extreme caution. Highly dangerous." 958                          "A Coalition ace and squadron leader of the Black Sun, one of the Tigris Confederation\'s leading squadrons, based on the CS Kozah. The son of a high-ranking Coalition council member, he is ideologically motivated and opposed to the Alliance\'s belief in the colonization of the Sol system, mainly due to the Alliance\'s technological ability to expand beyond the rate of the Coalition. He was responsible for the massacre of several undefended Alliance colonies on Ganymede at the outset of the war. A political zealot, highly motivated, and remorseless. Engage with extreme caution. Highly dangerous." 959                          "A great wing man. One of the most respected fliers in the Alliance. After a training accident, Bandit transferred to the merchant Navy, but immediately rejoined the regulars at the outbreak of the war. Quiet and confident in his own abilities." 960                          "Vengeance is his main motivation. He hates the Coalition because they killed his brother and destroyed his beloved French fleet in the early days of the conflict. His vengeful approach can sometimes be unsettling to comrades, but he is a good fighter nevertheless. He is a vicious adversary and a committed pilot." 961                          "Her family is one of the most prestigious in England. After graduating from the Royal Academy with honors, she served eight years in combat air support roles. She volunteered for combat flight duty immediately after the outbreak of the war. Analytical to a fault." 962                          "As wing leader, Viper is cautious and flies by the book. Rather than taking chances he operates methodically, wearing his opponents down. He\'s a highly motivated pilot with a proven track record, but he\'s seen little action to date because he was on leave at the start of the conflict." 963                          "Went to flight school on a scholarship, and earned her degree in less than three years. Has flown for commercial security firms for the last eight years, seeing some action against small time pirates. Well-rounded and strong-willed. Blunt to a fault." 964                          "Cutter has limited combat experience, but his unorthodox dogfighting style makes him a worthy opponent. He has a lucky streak, surviving a number of crashes during test flights on experimental craft. A bit of a risk taker who lives on the edge in combat as well as in his personal life." 965                          "From a military family, her brother and father were both killed by the Coalition during the first week of the conflict. She was flying transports at the time, but is now a fully qualified fighter pilot. She stole a fighter at Fort Baxter in an attempt to get into the action, but avoided court martial by volunteering with the 45th. Nervous and excitable, she is nevertheless a capable pilot." 966                          "When flying for an Italian SWAT team, he earned the nickname \""Nero\"" from a visiting American due to his tactic of low-level flying on full afterburners. He likes to take his enemies head-on in a firefight. Follows orders with machismo. He gets the job done, but not necessarily by the book." 967                          "Always looking for a way to beat the system, he has great potential but lacks motivation. However, he can think quickly and stays cool under fire. Well liked by his fellow pilots. Lazy, but highly intelligent and charming." 968                          "A pilot of average skills, he lacks the practical experience of other long-term servicemen, but he shows good potential in the cockpit. Majored in applied astro navigation. " 969                          "Adventurer whose lack of military training makes him unpredictable in combat. Usually wins when matched against classically trained pilots in one-on-one battles. Weak in the tactics of team combat. Adrenaline junkie who enjoys taking chances." 970                          "One of the most skillful combat pilots in the Alliance, and an outstanding tactician. He has flown combat patrols in the Lunar Conflict, and was commended before being shot down and wounded. Spent over a year recovering from his injuries. Follows orders to the letter. Will not dishonor his squadron, as honor is everything to him." 971                          "Brilliant flyer, but not someone you can count on to stick to the game plan. Flew as a pilot for hire before the war. Several people have accused him of running a smuggling operation. Good fighter, unpredictable." 972                          "New to flying fighters but not to combat. Will joust with the best of them in battle, and in drinking afterwards. Highly competitive, he will do anything to win. He takes no prisoners in conversation or combat." 973                          "Her lack of military training can be an asset in combat, as she thinks outside the box. Excellent in one-on-one combat, but a bit of an unknown when flying as part of a team. Never afraid to enter the fray. Slight inferiority complex, tries a little too hard to prove herself in battle." 974                          "After being released from the Academy he joined a small security company and saw combat protecting several ore transports around Jupiter. He was shot down twice, but was rescued on both occasions. Known as a bit of a scrounger among his fellow pilots and superiors due to his ability to acquire commodities almost on demand. He is currently under caution from the Military Police. Unruly at times but resourceful." 975                          "Somewhat of a celebrity after his kills were confirmed by the Alliance. Once escaped capture by using the slingshot effect around Jupiter to reach Fort Baxter. Bold and brash, is not afraid to take chances in battle. " 976                          "Off the wall tactics are her norm. She has extreme confidence in her abilities, and at the age of 16 was awarded the Meritorious Civilian Medal for shooting down a smuggler ship that was attacking her village. Anxious about regulations, but eager to succeed." 977                          "A great fighter pilot who would already be a squadron leader if he could keep his thoughts to himself. One of the few combat veterans in the 45th with 18 confirmed kills. In the Lunar Conflict he ignored orders from his wing leader, and was grounded. Court martial charges were dropped when the war broke out. Overtly outspoken, often about his superiors." 978                          "Has tactical combat experience against several of the Coalition\'s best pilots. He has shot down more than his share of enemy fighters in non-sanctioned military actions, and it is rumoured that the Coalition has a bounty on his head. A natural leader with a strong and aggressive personality." 979                          "Brains and more, she is deadly in a firefight. Someone you do not want as an enemy. Her only shortcoming is overanalysis. She needs to develop a more flexible approach to tactics, but she\'s a great pilot and natural leader. Highly intellectual. Scored the second highest theory rating at the Academy." 980                          "Promoted to the position of wing leader after the departure of Bandit to the Alliance\'s elite training academy, Diceman has the experience, mental strength, and respect to lead the Tigers. Diceman is a tough flyer who leads from the front and is trusted and respected by all members of the 45th Tigers." 981                          "Naginata" 982                          "Crusader" 983

They were more than impressed with some of your maneuvers out there." 1649                         "I hear you also ran into Nicolai Petrov along with a wing of the Black Guard. Next time you meet him, make sure he dies a painful death." 1650                         "You did a great job in protecting our cargo ship. The report from Viper pretty clearly indicates that the ship was saved against the odds.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1651                         "Outstanding performance. This was a vital mission and you capitalized on the information we received from intelligence." 1652                         "We\'ve been looking to hit the enemy carrier fleet for some time and taking the Ramases is a great scalp for the 45th." 1653                         "The Ramases isn\'t going to be bothering our convoys anymore and we\'ve given the Coalition some payback for the loss of Fort Baxter and her crew." 1654                         "We\'ve shown that given the opportunity this squadron can go toe to toe with the best the Coalition can throw at us." 1655                         "There are some at High Command who said the Volunteer squadrons would never cut the grade. Well we\'ve given them something to think about today." 1656                         "The Captain wants all pilots to know that they did a great job out there today.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1657                         "Congratulations. Your flying out there today was excellent. The loss of the Ramases and many of the famed Saracen squadron will hit the Coalition hard." 1658                         "Intelligence proved correct and we capitalized. Unfortunately this victory came at the price of Fort Baxter and her crew." 1659                         "However, the 45th\'s defense of the escape pods against the Saracens\' attack meant that some lives were saved. The survivors have contacted the ship and forwarded their thanks to the 45th and the Reliant." 1660                         "Unfortunately, Al Rahan and his Saracen cutthroats have once again avoided justice. Next time make sure he pays for his crimes against the Alliance and its people.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1661                         "Your flying out there today was well below standard, pilot. The loss of the Ramases and some of Saracen squadron will hit the Coalition hard but this victory came at a cost." 1662                         "Although the intelligence proved correct and the squadron capitalized by taking out the Ramases, the destruction of Fort Baxter and her crew is a great loss." 1663                         "The lackluster defense of the Baxter escape pods against the Saracens\' attacks and Al Rahan yet again escaping justice should leave you something to think about." 1664                         "Pay attention to your orders and stay alert. I want to see results, not excuses.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1665                         "Command has sent Captain Foster a damning assessment of your combat capability." 1666                         "Your flying today was unacceptable. Count this debrief as a warning." 1667                         "Not only did the Ramases and the Saracens easily escape but their infamous leader Al Rahan again avoided justice." 1668                         "Your combat effectiveness and defense of the Fort Baxter\'s escape pods verged on the incompetent." 1669                         "Another repeat of this performance will earn you a seat on the next departing shuttle, pilot.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1670                         "An outstanding performance out there. Commander Stahl passes on his compliments for the way you disabled the Berijev and protected the boarding ship and his party." 1671                         "This mission was vital. Intelligence and Command are delighted with the mission outcome." 1672                         "The information retrieved from command ship could prove invaluable and essential in the fight against the Coalition fleet." 1673                         "Your role in disabling the Coalition Carrier CS Kozah\'s defenses made the torpedo attack possible, allowing us to hit her critically." 1674                         "Alliance Command is particularly pleased with the Kozah\'s destruction, as she has been a thorn in the Alliance\'s side since the outbreak of the conflict." 1675                         "Commander Enriquez" 1676                         "A very polished performance out there. Commander Stahl passes on his compliments for the way you disabled the Berijev and protected the boarding ship and his party during the mission. " 1677                         "This mission was vital. Intelligence and Command are delighted with the mission outcome." 1678                         "The information retrieved from command ship could prove invaluable and essential in the fight against the Coalition fleet." 1679                         "However, you missed the opportunity to take out the CS Kozah. " 1680                         "We still face a formidable threat to our frontline with the Kozah still active. Next time let\'s take her down." 1681                         "Commander Enriquez" 1682                         "Alliance high Command is very pleased with the 45th\'s performance." 1683                         "They believe the destruction of the Latov base will put a large dent in the Coalition\'s Warp gate technology program, giving our boys time to catch up with our own system." 1684                         "Hopefully the Coalition won\'t be inventing too many surprises for us for a while." 1685                         "Also the destruction of the Coalition Carrier CS Badanov was an unexpected bonus." 1686                         "She is one of the experimental capital ships that the Coalition have been sending through their warp gates to harry our forces." 1687                         "There will be a smile on the faces of many Alliance convoy officers tonight.  Great work, keep up this effort and we may yet turn this war around.\n\nNice work pilot.\n\nEnriquez." 1688                         "Alliance High Command is very pleased with the 45th\'s performance." 1689                         "They believe the destruction of the Latov Asteroid Base will put a large dent in the Coalition\'s warp gate technology program, giving our boys time to catch up with our own." 1690                         "Hopefully the Coalition won\'t be inventing too many new surprises for us for a while." 1691                         "I also heard you ran into a Coalition convoy out there. You must have given them the fright of their lives when you appeared." 1692                         "Great work, keep up this effort and we may yet turn this war around.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1693                         "What the hell happened out there\?" 1694                         "Your orders were very clear, and you were provided with the means to get the job done.  Do you realize how important taking out that base was for the war effort\?" 1695                         "The failure to destroy the Latov Base, means that the Coalition is free to continue research on their advanced warp gate technology, something which could severely damage our chances for success in this war." 1696                         "We have no chance of taking out the base now without a real fight. The element of surprise is gone, and many Alliance lives will be lost completing what you should have achieved in a successful operation today." 1697                         "Take a long hard look at yourself, and stay clear of Foster. He just spent two hours explaining this fiasco to Command. Take this as a warning.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1698                         "An outstanding performance. This mission was vital and the fuel cells recovered from the Stalag will allow our warp technologies to go online as planned." 1699                         "The destruction of the Stalag base will be a major blow to the Coalition and to their ability to supply their own warp gate systems." 1700                         "Hopefully we\'ll see a reduction in the number of warp attacks across the front line in the coming weeks." 1701                         "The heavy damage inflicted on the Golden Warriors and the death of their leader will send a message out to all Coalition squadrons that the 45th is here to stay." 1702                         "Your combat skills against the Coalition\'s best fighter units were impressive. You deserve high praise.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1703                         "This mission was vital and the fuel cells recovered from the Stalag will allow our warp technologies to go online as planned." 1704                         "The destruction of the Stalag base will be a major blow to the Coalition and to their ability to supply their own warp gate systems. Hopefully we\'ll see a reduction in the number of warp attacks across the front line in the coming weeks." 1705                         "However, you missed the opportunity of destroying one of the Coalition\'s elite wing leader\'s, the Red Dragon. " 1706                         "You need to assess your combat effectiveness when up against one of the Coalition best pilots.

Another missed opportunity like this will cost us dearly.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1712                         "A less than satisfactory performance. This mission was vital and the single fuel cell recovered from the Stalag will allow for only limited deployment of our warp technology." 1713                         "The unit has missed a great opportunity to take out a vital Coalition asset, the enemy will undoubtedly have the Stalag online and back in production very soon." 1714                         "You need to assess your combat effectiveness against one of the Coalition\'s best fighter pilots." 1715                         "It\'s time to reflect on your performance and step up to the plate or ship out of this unit.\n\nCommander Enriquez" 1716                         "PILOTS" 1717                         "SHIP" 1718                         "TOTAL KILLS" 1719                         "Angelo Fuser" 1720                         "(Hornets - WL)" 1721                         "Mirage" 1722                         "Robert Foe" 1723                         "(Black Aces - WL)" 1724                         "Crusader" 1725                         "Zoran Grandoni" 1726                         "(Stingers - WL)" 1727                         "Mirage" 1728                         "Francois Duteux" 1729                         "(Marauders - WL)" 1730                         "Mirage" 1731                         "Manfred Kogler" 1732                         "(Jaguars - WL)" 1733                         "Grendel" 1734                         "Banno Lee" 1735                         "(Blades - WL)" 1736                         "Naginata" 1737                         "Ned Dundee" 1738                         "(51st Volunteers - WL)" 1739                         "Patriot" 1740                         "Jake Tanner" 1741                         "(Pumas - WL)" 1742                         "Coyote" 1743                         "Joe Dabo" 1744                         "(Buccaneers - WL)" 1745                         "Tempest" 1746                         "Jack Cyprien" 1747                         "(Cougars - WL)" 1748                         "Reaper" 1749                         "Matt Moreno" 1750                         "(Hell Cats - WL)" 1751                         "Patriot" 1752                         "Manzo Takamatsu" 1753                         "(Ronin - WL)" 1754                         "Naginata" 1755                         "Klaus Steiner" 1756                         "(Vampires - WL)" 1757                         "Wolverine" 1758                         "Joerg Ehlers" 1759                         "(Jackals - WL)" 1760                         "Grendel" 1761                         "Linc Stevenson" 1762                         "(45th Volunteers)" 1763                         "Wolverine" 1764                         "Sean Oliver" 1765                         "(Pirates - WL)" 1766                         "Tempest" 1767                         "Brad Callan" 1768                         "(45th Volunteers)" 1769                         "Patriot" 1770                         "Great job.

The interception of the Coalition convoy will hit the Coalition hard.

Its captain is being sought by the war crimes commission.\n\nThis Cyclone class of cruiser is the latest in Coalition technology. Known to possess formidable firepower, many of these ships were used in the attack on Mars. Fast, well armed and defended, they can perform the role of small carriers. Used primarily for carrier support and convoy escort, they are usually accompanied by a fighter contingent for patrol and protection duties.\n\n" 1922                         "CS Kozlov" 1923                         "2085"    1924                          "Class 2 Carrier" 1925                         "53,500 tons" 1926                         "Ion Drive" 1927                         "30-40"    1928                          "Heavy" 1929                         "Sister ship of the Krasnaya the Kozlov shares the distinction of being one of the oldest active carriers in the war.

The Yamato\'s base squadron, the Ronin, is a well-disciplined and respected outfit with a proven combat record.

The Reliant is now home to the 45th Volunteer squadron, a group of newly commissioned pilots rapidly formed after hostilities began.\n\nThe re-commissioned Reliant and its newly formed squadron have been assigned front-line duties from the outset of this conflict. They will be counted on heavily with the other front-line carrier groups to slow the advance of the Coalition and give the Alliance time to regroup and rebuild." }
