This mission has nothing to do with the recovery of the Azrael. During the mission you'll be given a complete set of new instructions, so listen carefully (or watch them in the F4 objectives screen).
Fly toward the red blinking dots in your radar. You'll find a second subspace portal. You'll be engaging a dogfight with multiple SF
Dragons and a few Mara's. Like I already said, they are hard to destroy because of their speed and maneuverability. Don't call in the reinforcements, since this triggers the arrival of a cruiser ... and that's one more thing to worry about. First take out all dragons and the Dahaka, then call in Delta wing. It'll be easy to take out the
Sephiroth.
The Psamtik will jump in (about 9000m away from the device), assign your wings to defend it. There will be a few wings, but they are not so hard to destroy. Once this is done a new Juggernaut will jump in and destroy the Psamtik. You'll get the order to return to base.

* Destroy Leo
* Destroy Gemini
* Destroy Taurus
* Destroy Capricorn
* Destroy Sagittarius
* Destroy Aquarius
First intercept the Mara's attacking the Aquitaine - you should have some time left to help the Aquitaine with the Abaddon if you're fast enough. However, once the fighters jump in, concentrate on them. The
Aquitane can take care of the Abaddon itself.
Some bombers and Mara's will jump in by the time you have taken out the
Astaroth's. First take out the bombers (and their bombs), since they can do the most damage to the Aquitaine, then go for the fighters.
Some additional Basilisks and SB Taurvi will jump in. Again, you should first concentrate on the bombers, then on the fighters!
Now you'll have to wait a while until the transport has docked with the
Aquitaine. Once this operation is complete more bombers (and only bombers from now on) will jump in. SB Taurvi's, but mostly SB Nahema's
... hold them off until the Aquitaine has jumped.

Mission Overview
----------------
* Follow Nav Buoys
* Find GRALL
* Call in LAMBDA 1
* Protect LAMBDA 1
This SOC mission is not so difficult, but it can get quite annoying.
Your HUD doesn't function properly because of the interference caused by the nebula. The trick is to keep an eye on your radar. It may not function properly, but in between the glitches you can use it to navigate through the nebula. Just fly to the next nav buoy and once you fly past it, a new buoy (grey dot) will appear on radar. So all you have to do, is watch where the new dot appears on the radar and fly towards it.
There will be a wing (or two) of Basilisks around each buoy, but they are easy to destroy. The hardest part is to get back on track after the engagement (I once flew all the way back to NB 1 - Aaaaaaaaargh!).
After 7 buoys you'll finally reach the Grall, but it's under attack by
Nahema bombers. Needless to say that you have to take them out. Watch out though, they might send quite a few missiles behind your tail.
Sometimes it's better to do evasive maneuvers than it is to stick to your target!
Once the bombers have been taken out, call in Lambda 1. Some enemy wings will jump in, but they shouldn't give you too much trouble.

Mission Overview
----------------
* Destroy Leo
* Destroy Libra
* Destroy Shivan Devices
* Destroy Scorpio
* Destroy Gemini
* Destroy Aries
Once the mission starts, immediately dive with your fighter and hit the afterburners to evade the Juggernaut who goes into hyperspace. Then start heading for the Shivan device. Once you get to close, the
Shivans will be alerted and engage you!
The most efficient way to take out the device is by destroying the subspace crystal in the center of the device (the red center). You just need a couple of missiles (if you hit it correctly). Once you've destroyed it (the red center doesn't burst or anything), the device will self destruct. The best way to hit it is by flying close to the center, into the device ... between the rotating arms. However, the explosion of the device is very powerful and it can do some serious damage to your hull. So you have to get out of that position as fast as you can, once you destroyed it!
For the other 2 devices, you can always rely on your wingmates ... should your hull be critically damaged. You can hold off the Shivan fighters / bombers. Since the distance between the different devices is so big, it's wise to divert power to your engines ... so your afterburners can recharge faster, enabling you to reach the devices faster (this buys you some minutes).
Once the devices are destroyed, head back to the jump node and wait until 15:00 have passed (take out any hostiles that bother you). Once the 15 mins are over, your jump drives will be enabled and you can jump out of there!
