The GTD Phoenicia is now part of McCarthy forces. Just in time we were able to escape its fighter wings. We jumped directly into a gas giant. There we have to find a way to contact the GTVA to inform them about this new development.
Hints:
Your ship and weapons status are carried over from the previous mission.
You are welcomed by a wing of Manticore, who should not be a big problem for you and your wingmates.
Instead that you head to the sun, fly towards the blinking red dot and eliminate all Manticores that try to intercept you.
You will get under fire by a shivan cain cruiser, damage it with some Trebuchet and your Gatling to make it visible on your sensors. Now you can order your wingmates to take it down to perform the bonus objective in this mission.
Meanwhile the Green Dot navbuoy should be on your sensors, you can approch it, but i suggest to wait for two wings of Apollo fighters, because if you take them out now, another later battle will be much easier.
Take care, that it can take a while until the second Apollo wing appear, but at least on Insane it is worth to wait for them and to take out them before you proceed with the mission.
After both Apollo wings are down, you can fly to the Green Dot nav buoy, where you will find a GVCv Sobek called GVCv Alligator.
After you found this vasudan ship, you will be attacked by Taurvis and Hercules fighters, that is the reason you destroyed the Apollos earlier, because this attack can be much deadlier with very fast and good fighters around. Only with Hercules and the shivan bombers, you should be able to repel with much less problems.
During this attack, the Hercules wing will be replaced by a bunch of Maras. Even the Alligator order that you should ignore them and intercept the bombers instead, help Epsilon wing and kill the bombers later, because the Alligator will survive long enough.
After you intercepted all of the shivan crafts, close the distance to the Alligator and the mission will end automatically.
Fortunately your ship and weapon status will be reset for the next mission.

Questions and Feedback in German and English would be appreciated, but is also possible in French, Spanish and Chinese, because my sister is able to read and understand it. But do not expect an answer in the same language.
