This wasn’t the help we were looking for. The mission today is to attack a civilian convoy that’s carrying supplies destined for Imperial garrisons. Being that we’re ostensibly the good guys, the plan is to disable the ships, grab the cargo, and leave no civilian casualties.
Unfortunately, our new “allies” have some different ideas.
The capture op abruptly turns into a rescue operation, as the friendly escorts abruptly turn unfriendly. Only once they are out of the picture can the rest of the capture operation begin. After that, there’s Imperial reinforcements to deal with.
I ended the mission early as soon as I got a success notification, after a couple of attempts went from success to failure when a cargo transport was destroyed by Imperial fighters. This isn’t an extremely difficult mission, but it can definitely be frustrating to the unwary.
