highlighted, the KC2 crystal is near it. When you hear the "Oh, there it
is" message, STOP. You'll be able to see the crystal if you look around,
(a bright spot slightly larger than the stars) but it wont show up on
radar, and you'll never find it otherwise. Ignore the Bora mines and
minelayers. Just steer clear. In Canopus sector, destroy the (pathetic)
Bora fighters and land and deliver the KC2 to the research station. The
Daggers are easily destroyed by one hit from a laser.

New Items: Swarm Missiles, Lock-on Defense, Laser Reserves
New Ship: Phoenix

* Saving Spike (Cinder Station - 5920 cr. R)

In order to get this mission, you must first fly the Magellan Escort
mission in the Hub... because this is the mission where you get to beat up
on Leon. This mission is a lot easier if you're flying GalSpan, because in
the first sector, you only have to deal with about half as many ships, and
Leon retreats. LET HIM GO. If you destroy him in the first sector, while
flying GalSpan, you can't win the mission. You get a second sector with
more fighters... and Leon. I'd suggest assigning your wingman to attack
Leon, while you take out the rest of the ships. Then, once you're done,
finish off Leon together (or alone...) Even if Cobalt Spike is destroyed,
destroying Leon (AFTER Spike is destroyed only!) means you get paid.

The Review (GalSpan - 12250 cr. G)

Escort 4 shuttles through the Ceriphilon Sector. There will be an attack
by several Daggers. These ships, however, are tougher than the previous
missions, so bear that in mind. Incidentally, I find it funny that the
debriefing says that new weapons are available as a result of the
attack... and really, all there is Bradford Brixx.

New Wingman: Bradford Brixx.

Final Payment (GalSpan - 16825 cr. G) NW

Escort two wings of Void Pirate marauders to Ceriphilon. They will attack
you, attempting to get their revenge for a pay cut. Destroy them to win.
Nice and easy.

* Arena Gambit (2450 cr. F) NW

The reason I didn't include the employer is because this is actually two
different missions. If you take the Malkar mission, you also receive a
Booster. If you accept Onrald's side, you get Smart Shields. Flying
Onrald's mission against Malkar is a bit easier, in my opinion, but smart
shields are really irritating. See the CPU card guide for more. Be warned,
either way there are also mines that fire on you.

New Item: Booster OR Smart Shields

Hajod's Bargain (GalSpan - 13125 cr. F)

Capture Alexander Onrald's ship for Hajod. Be sure to bring Tesla missiles
(Or a wingman like Tora Embers who does). It's a fairly simple mission,
but be careful, Onrald's Flare ships are very efficient.

New Items: Fog Radar, Radiation Screen
New Regional Pass: Frontier to Twilight


Drone Abduction (GalSpan - 15785 cr. T)

Head to Cassitor's production field. Destroy a comm tower, beam aboard the
drone, and get out of there. Zzzzzzzzz...

New Items: Helios Rockets
New Wingman: Jasper 1000
New Regional Pass: Twilight to Ripstar

* Lost to the Fog (League of Scientists - 6230 cr. T)

Save the Michelson and Morley from Cassitor. Cassitor's drones are fast
and hideously overpowered, but when you nail them down, they are easily
destroyed. One hit from a Deimos Hvy. Laser or Hunter torpedo will drop
their shields, and leave them with very little hull strength. More or less
anything after that will destroy them. (Just destroy them fast: their
shields recharge fully in about 10 seconds flat.) If you bring a ship that
has hunter torpedoes in a dual-emitter slot, link em and fire two torpedoes
at once.

Rescue Persephone (GalSpan - 17995 cr. F)

Deliver a new engine core to the Persephone. Defend it as it jumps out of
the Fury sector. This mission is difficult for one reason only: The second
batch of fighters launched carry Helios rockets, and they try to destroy
the Persephone.

* Freedom and Humiliation (Malkar - 12285 cr. F)

This mission is hard for one reason only: The station's lasers fire on you
as well as the fighters. Best strategy: Hide on the underside of the
station and wait for the fighters to come get you. If you use the Inf.
Afterburning cheat (see Cheats) you can slide towards the 4 Midges on the
opposite side of the station, and take them out before they even break
formation.

* The Bounty (Star Patrol - 3000 cr. F)

The mission is to capture Redship Rory. All you'll do is find out that he
will be attacking a freighter named the Galluran. You'll have to eliminate
3 wings of Shrikes to do so, though.

* The Rory Sting (Star Patrol - 12000 cr. H)

Escort the Galluran and defend it when Redship Rory attacks. You are
supposed to call Star Patrol, but you are unable to because you are being
jammed. Be sure to bring Tesla Missiles (or, if flying Bora, an EMP
projector) and/or a wingman who does. You must destroy all Redship
fighters, except Rory, who is to be disabled and captured alive.

The Identity Game (GalSpan - 22750 cr. R)

Head to the Mercenary sector. You will be hailed by three different Bora
ships, all claiming to be GalSpan operatives. Only the Battleaxe, named
Quasar, is. The other two are Bora counter-agents. Beam aboard the data
pack in front of the Quasar, and then try to escort the Quasar back to
Hellas. You don't get more pay for getting it through.

New Items: Smart Shields
New Ship: Archangel

Fleet Battle (GalSpan - 25725 cr. R)

Once you get to the Ripping fields, focus on the capital ship, the
Fortitude. As soon as it is destroyed, the Pyxis will jump out of the
sector and the contract is complete. Either jump out and home yourself,
or have fun and destroy the (many) Bora fighters. Note: I suggest you
take out the weapons powerplant first, this ship doesn't have anywhere
you can sit and pound them without getting hit like most other ships.
If the Pyxis is destroyed, the mission fails.

A Bank Without Money (GalSpan - 15750 cr. T)

Defend the Cerebus from the Demon Pirates. In order to get it into the
sector, you will have to fly within 1 KM of three nav buoys to reprogram
them as homing signals. The Hydras will run into the station, there's
nothing you can do about it.

New Items: Booster, Advanced Blast Torpedo
New Wingman: Bernardo

* The Sightseer (Nebula Tours - 12775 cr. T)

Defend the Sightseer from the Demon Pirates as it tours the Dusk and Far
Space sectors. It's a bit tough because there's a lot of pirates.

* Final Retribution (League of Scientists - 22750 cr. T)

Escort Barghest to Cassitor's station. She will summon the Demon Pirates,
who will then destroy Cassitor's station. Run for it as soon as you can,
or they will attack you too. Bring a Radiation screen card.

The Final Plan Unveiled (GalSpan - 46025 cr. R)

Protect Hephaestus from the final Bora assault. Bring a fog radar card.
Then, once that's done, retrieve Susan Bradley, and bring her to the Zeus.
She will give a peace talk. This is the last GalSpan mission to win the
game. Congratulations!



BORA MISSIONS


Withdraw From Independence (Bora - 9625 cr. H)

Proceed to Independence base and protect the three shuttles. After they
dock with the Integrity and the Integrity jumps out of the sector, your
contract is complete. Note: I suggest you pick up a Glint Lt. Laser in
your "Unmounted Stores" before this mission because the Bora's Arc Lt.
Laser is useless against hulls. You are also given a Cutlass Multirole
Bomber "as a gesture of friendship".

New Items: Arc Lt. Laser, Power Sappers, Spire Rockets, Lead Target
Assistant, Combat Scanner, Afterburner, Lock-on Warning
New Wingman: Cathy Keels
New Regional Pass: Hub to Bora
New Ship: Cutlass

Gate Blueprints (Bora - 9975 cr. B)

Go to Dr. McLean. His mines will attack you. Destroy them, dock with his
station, and he will give you TCG blueprints. You're done afterwards.

New Items: Remote Sappers

Recoil (Bora - 5075 cr. H)

Head to Industrial to pick up a TCG coil. The station will be under attack
by a disgruntled freighter captain and his automatic mines. Destroying the
mine on the far side of the station, named Dorado-1 will neutralize the
rest of them as well. Deliver the TCG coil to the technician in the Scrap
Yards. He'll fix the gate, and the mission is complete.

New Items: Boron Med. Laser, Plasma Rockets, Lock-on Defense
New Wingman: Jasper
New Regional Pass: Hub to Frontier

* Magellan Shipment (Alpha Control - 5425 cr. H)

Advance With Courage (Bora - 6825 cr. H)

Protect the shuttle Courage as it retakes the carrier Intrepid. You will
have to destroy the station's Powerplant to free the carrier. After that,
destroy all the fighters. Get out as soon as you can, because shortly
after the Intrepid jumps, Star Patrol enforcers show up, and you will
more likely than not be destroyed by them if you're still there.

Deja Vu (Bora - 4860 cr. H)

Go to Drake, Pick up some parts, deliver them to Wrecktown. You'll be
attacked by some mercenaries, who were the ones who bought the freighter
and mines that you disabled in the Recoil mission. One of them will drop
a crate of Contraband, which Arman Patrioli will pay 850 cr. for.

New Wingman: Dorwin Kincaid

* The Posse (Atlantic Casino - 8925 cr. F) NW

* Fenris Arena (Fenris Arena - F) NW

Core Weapon (Bora - 12600 cr. F)

Retrieve the Armageddon Laser Core from Baroness Onrald. Redship Rory's
pirate clan will attack, and the Persephone too if you get too close. In
Onrald's sector, some of Baron Hajod's drones will attack as well. Destroy
them, pick up the core, and head home.

New Items: Burn-off Device, Afterburner Reserve, Shield Reserves
New Ship: Battleaxe
New Regional Pass: Frontier to Bora

Risky Venture (Bora - 5775 cr. F)

Protect the frigate Valiant as it attacks Venture Station. The Armageddon
Laser will misfire, shorting out the Valiant's systems. They will eject
the Laser. Pick it up, and dodge the fighters launched by the carrier. If
you pick up the core before the Valiant is destroyed you will
automatically fly through the Vegas gate when the Valiant is destroyed.

A Matter of Virtue (Bora - 4625 cr. F) NW

Deliver cargo to Virtue station. On the way back, you will see a Star
Patrol agent being attacked by Skavs. If you don't help, or the Enforcer is
destroyed, you lose 2000 cr. (And get 2625 cr.)

* Illicit Pickup (Arman Patrioli - 12250 cr. F)

New Items: EW Jammer
