Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock/Chapter 6 - Chemical Warfare


 * Sir, information on the chemical attacks are still incoming, but response teams estimate thousands of victims. Reports confirm most are non-fatal, which...seems worse, somehow.
 * Cain's agreed to provide an escort for a Picon Medical Corps attachment out of Helios Alpha. But, it's your problem to figure out how to get them there. Her words, not mine.
 * Saggitaron hasn't lifted their border embargo since the attack. At this stage, we've only got permission to take Doctor Cottle and his team to Aerilon.

Planet Aerilon.

Before facing this mission, ensure you have the Artemis class battlestar unlocked, and around 4000 to 5000 points worth of ships. While achievable with less, it will be difficult and you will likely take casualties. Your first objective is to defend three transports for seven turns. Five Cylon ships are directly in your path; change course to face them side-on, and keep the transports behind your fleet. Intercept any Raiders the Cylons throw at you with your Vipers; your fleet ships can afford to take some hits, the transports can't.

After five turns, an additional Nemesis will jump in close to the transports. Keeping your transports close to the fleet will force this Nemesis to jump in closer to your fleet, and you should be able to cut it down on the same turn it appears.

Hold off the enemy fleet for the requisite seven turns, and two of the three transports will jump. Doctor Cottle's transport, however, will remain. After some banter between Cottle and Helena, you will then be tasked to destroy the remaining transports.
