- TIE Defender Base
- Version 1.0
-
- By PNem@aol.com
-
- Background from Jan Ors:
-
- Rebel spies have located the base where research and development is
- being done on the Empire's newest starfighter, the TIE Defender. This
- development effort is being led by Admiral Thrawn, who is reporting
- directly to the Emperor. Initial analysis indicates that this new
- weapon can outrun and outgun any starfighter in the Rebel arsenal. The
- Rebel Alliance needs more data on this craft and we need to shut down
- its testing facility. This is where you come in, Kyle.
-
- The Mission:
-
- The base is located in a mountainous area on a small moon in the Parmel
- system. Imperial test pilots use a nearby ravine for practice runs
- before entering orbit. The entrance to the base itself is thought to be
- somewhere in the ravine.
-
- You must find the entrance to the facility and plant a sequencer charge
- in its main reactor room. At the main reactor, there is an exchange
- coupling that leads to the central power grid. Place a sequencer charge
- in this coupling and the facility will explode.
-
- After you've planted the charge, you must find a data tape that contains
- all of the technical specifications and flight test data on the TIE
- Defender prototypes. These will be an invaluable aid to Admiral Ackbar's
- staff in determining the best way to counter this awesome new threat.
- I'll be in radio contact with you, but once I drop you off, you'll be on
- your own. To get out, you'll need to hijack a TIE Defender.
-
- You will be heavily outnumbered and outgunned here, Kyle. Rely on your
- quickness ... always keep moving! This is bound to be your most
- difficult mission! Reports indicate that the base is guarded by a full
- platoon of Dark Troopers. Also, there is another secret Imperial weapon
- under development here - a new type of Probe Droid called the Hunter-
- Killer Droid. Watch out!
-
- Mission objectives:
- - Infiltrate the TIE Defender base.
- - Plant a sequencer charge in the facility's main reactor room.
- - Recover the data tape containing the TIE Defender tech specs and flight test
- data.
- - Escape in a hijacked TIE Defender.

- Dave Spiciarich and Don Sielke. Your insights and suggestions were

- Dark Forces campaigns, you'll probably want to start out on 'Easy'.
