Campaign missions

The main campaign of Starlancer covers The Sol War, from the Deimos Betrayal and the surprise attack across Sol, to the ultimate defeat of the Coalition in outer Sol. You are a recruit in the 45th Volunteers, joining the Alliance in the struggle against the Coalition.

Demo

 * The Starlancer Demo version has two additional missions
 * Trial mission 1
 * Trial mission 2

Main game
1 - If neither was eliminated in Mission 7.
 * Notes: The following breakdown lists all the missions in the game. However, several missions were cut, as indicated by configuration files and ITAC transcripts.
 * Fun fact: Counting only the capital ships where the 45th participates in the attack, the squadron is responsible for over 4 000 military deaths alone.

2 - Due to an apparent oversight, Red Dragon reappears in the mission.

Missions cut
A total of four missions were cut:


 * Two between mission 11 and 12 (m12 and m13). A mission description salvaged from the game's files is as follows:

''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. 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.''

Once the information has been gathered and the boarding party is clear, the 45th must destroy the asteroid station.


 * Another one was present between missions 14 and 15 (mis17):

''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. The Reliant leads the Gegarin into the Kaiserlauden asteroid belt where the ANS Mitchell and her squadron, the Cougars, are lying in wait.''


 * The final cut (m22) is between missions 18 and 19:

''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. 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.''


 * Additionally, there are numerous leftovers in the game's files, including assets for colony buildings and surface units, indicating that at one point Starlancer would have been involved in supporting ground operations. This was apparently present in an older version, as all the released rendered movies are prefixed with new_ indicating a major makeover in production.
