We are on another covert operation together with Arthur Kemmler, this time we want to find a Luytenian corvette within the Luyten Nebula and to destroy it, if possible.
Hints:
Keep formation with Kappa 1, so use match speed.
You are unable to manage your energy until you choose your strategy against the GTG Lupin.
You have three choices, you can follow the Miner, you can attack the group, or you can say to follow and then attack anyway afterwards, the choice is up to you!
If you choose to follow, like i did, keep distance to the miner and the Hercs and you will be fine. If you choose to attack, destroy the Hercs first as fast as possible, because you do not have much time to stop the Lupin.
If the Lupin is able to escape your attack, do not worry, it does not affect the outcome of this mission.
After the Lupin jumped out or is destroyed, follow Kappa 1 again until you find the GTCv Iberia.
Target the rear beam cannon on the GTCv Iberia first and destroy it with your Night Wolf. Destroy as much turrets as possible before the GTCv Millenium arrive together with Beta.
After the enemy bombers arrive, fire a TAG-B Missile at the Iberia before you leave it alone and fire some additional TAG-Bs during the combat, if you have the chance to.
Try to intercept as much bombs as possible and destroy the bombers if you have the chance to protect the Millenium until the Iberia will be destroyed by it and your Bomber wing.
Sometimes the Iberia will escape, because it is able to intercept bombs and destroys some of your bombers, you can continue with the campaign even you miss to perform this objective. But you can destroy the Iberia here, so try to destroy more turrets next time.
According to the mission file, there should be a strategy to protect the GTCv Millenium against the GTCv Jackal, too. Because if you are able to destroy the second Luytenian corvette, a third one will appear which will destroy the Millenium finally. So you can not protect the GTCv Millenium in this mission, but you can cause heavy losses on the enemy side.

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.
