Sent by the imperial central intelligence section to Vulture Squadron
Because of their fundamental role in the Imperial Navy, Sienar engineers are vital to the Empires hold on the galaxy. Their ceaseless toil is responsible for the most recent star ship prototype, currently in transit to rendezvous with the imperial fleet. Alliance intelligence discovered it only days ago and offered a substantial reward for the prototypes capture. Rebel-aligned smugglers are prepared to ambush the vulnerable shipment, and the modest Imperial excort must safely deliver its precious cargoA Vulture squadron escort consisting of a TIE Advanced armed with Cluster missiles, four TIE Fighters (a pair of Obsidian Squadron pilots and a couple of Academy pilots) plus the Alpha Squadron TIE interceptor - freshly delivered to the Vultures.
The three Containers the Vulture squadron were escorting were indeed ambushed by rebel scum (the infamous Millennium Falcon and 3 head hunters).
Whilst the falcon escaped with a single head-hunter, the other two were destroyed, and all three containers safely delivered.
Two TIE fighters and the TIE Interceptor were lost, but the mission itself was still a resounding success.

Wow - as today, I've caught up!... who knows the next update should be straight after the next game (this Friday 6th March!)
This mission was (as the title suggests) a straight run of "Mission 4: Den of Thieves" from the Millennium Falcon expansion pack, and was played between myself and Adam.
Adam kind of played this all wrong, and took his time in getting to the containers... also, we took the rules as being that the "steal action" was just that - an Action... so I made a point of sitting a TIE in front of the falcon all the time... causing a collision and meaning, yes, no Action for the falcon...
A good game, interesting the more missions played, with different victory conditions, the more you get to think about different tactics, not just dog fights....
A good win for the Vultures, and an extra 10 pilot points... meaning after the mission the squadron looks like -
- TIE Bomber - Gamma Squadron - 18 Points
- TIE Bomber - Scimitar Squadron - 16 Points
- TIE Fighter - Obsidian Squadron - 13 Points
- TIE Fighter - Obsidian Squadron - destroyed
- TIE Advanced - Tempest Squadron - 21 Points
- TIE Fighter - Academy Pilot - destroyed
- TIE Fighter - Academy Pilot - 12 Points
- TIE Interceptor - Alpha Squadron - destroyed
