Rivals Mission 1 – Send a Message

Guula the Hutt’s forces have been encroaching more and more into our hunting grounds in spite of our repeated warnings. Bait in a squad of their low rank pilots with our Patrol Boat as they pass through our space then destroy them to show we mean business.

Player setup the Patrol Boat in Area A as bait. Players may deploy from zones 1, 2, 5, or 6 any turn before turn 5.

6 Asteroids randomly placed in Area B but not in Area A.

Objectives: Destroy a number of Guula the Hutt’s ships equal to 1 plus the number of pilots you have (4 for 3 pilots, 5 for 4 pilots, etc) and then escape to hyperspace or fleeing of a board edge. Alternatively destroy all of the Hutt forces. If at any point there are no more enemy ships on the board, the Territory becomes Friendly and the mission ends. Keep the Patrol Boat alive. The Patrol Boat may flee the board any turn after at least 1 pirate pilot has deployed.

Territory: Neutral

Enemy Forces: Y-TIEs, TYE Wings, M3-As, Kimogila

Rewards: $10k per Threat Level bounty on each ship destroyed or disabled. No reward for ships that flee.

Rivals Mission 2 – Retaliation

Guula has decided to escalate and sent a large force into our territory. They have attacked a flight of our recruits who were out scouting. Such a display of disrespect will not be tolerated. Engage them and destroy them or drive them off.

This mission is marked URGENT

Players setup in Zone A. 8 Asteroids randomly placed > range 1 of each other in Zone B, but not in the internal range 3 zone containing C and D zones.

Objectives: Destroy or make flee all enemy forces. As long as you have at least one ship on the board you are considered pursuing your primary objective.

Bonus Objective: 2 XP per player for each Scout TYE-Wing that survives until turn 12 or that is still alive when all enemies are cleared off the board.

Alternative Objective: Survive until turn 12, then escape of any board edge or to hyperspace. If you follow this objective, take the defeat path but receive full earned rewards and XP.

Enemy Forces: Z-95s, M3-As, Y-Wings, Kihraxz, Kimogila

Reward: $5k bounty per threat level of each enemy ship destroyed or disabled by any method. No reward for ships that flee.

Dagger squadron will be placed in in Zone D as close as possible to and facing the Scout squadron. Dagger has Strike AI on Scouts.

Rivals Mission 3 – Reclaim

While our fighters were out patrolling the asteroid field, that sneaky worm Guula sent a force to raid our base and captured it. Luckily our PB-950 was out on a training run and our elite boarding team is ready for revenge. Retake the station and stop any ships from looting our supplies.

This Mission is marked URGENT

Setup: Player setup in zone A. Place 6 Asteroids in Zone B, random layout Range > 1 from each other and edge. C/D are Cartel escape zones.

Objectives: Dock the PB-950 on one of the 2 docking bays by round 12. At least 1 of your ships must survive until round 12.

Bonus Objective: Disable at least 2 enemy freighters trying to escape with our supplies.

Territory: Hostile

Enemy Forces: Z-95s, Kihraxz, Kimogilas, YT-2400/1300 Freighters

Rewards: 30k credits for each Large base Freighter you disable, 10k for each small base Freighter you disable.

Penalty: For each Large base Freighter that escapes, you and the company lose 40% of your banked Credits (rounded up). For each small base Freighter that escapes you lose 10% of your banked Credits.

Patrol Boat	Turn 6	A	Player	PB-950 Patrol Boat

Pirate Base: The Pirate Base has 2 remaining Turbolaser emplacements which start facing Zone A. They will fire at player ships until Round 9 as the Cartel flees the station OR until the player has landed the Patrol Boat on the station. Once the Patrol Boat has landed, the Turbolaser emplacements are under player control. Cartel ships will shoot at the Turbolaser emplacements once they are under player control if they have no other targets.

Once the Patrol Boat has landed and you have reached the end of turn 12, the mission is considered over. You can either choose to end it immediately or have all remaining enemy ships change to Flee AI and play it out.

Freighters: The Freighters are fully loaded and as a result have a maximum speed of 3, cannot boost, and their Agility is reduced by 1 (they still receive range bonus). For this mission, each Freighter has a number of shields equal to the number of player ships. All Freighters with turrets start with the turret arc facing forward.

Once a Freighter is reduced to 1-3 Hull, it is considered disabled. Disabled Freighters are considered “Enemy” ships to all other ships for the purposes of bumping (do not roll for damage, may take stress and focus). They will continue drifting at speed 1 straight until they have left the play area or the mission is over. Once they are disabled they do not take actions, perform attacks or take damage from asteroids.

Patrol Boat: The player Patrol Boat arrives on Round 6. To complete the mission the Patrol Boat needs to land in either Docking Bay 1 or 2. If the Patrol Boat is destroyed, the mission is considered a failure. The Patrol Boat may not redeploy once it has landed.

Landing the Patrol Boat in a Docking Bay does not prevent Freighters from deploying from that Docking Bay. Players may perform Protect actions on the Patrol Boat.

The Patrol Boat may deploy from the Docking Bay that it landed in on any of the following rounds.

Advancing the Boarding Team: At the end of each turn, roll 3 attack dice. If the number of hits rolled is equal to or greater than the number of emplacements on that station tile, players may move the commandos to an adjacent station tile. Otherwise, they may destroy one emplacement on that tile or simply wait until the next round. Players may choose if Fuel Tanks destroyed this way explode.

The Boarding Teams attack dice can be modified depending on the upgrades purchased for the Patrol Boat.

Capturing the Station: The Boarding Team must reach the large central station module with the Command Center. Then they must succeed in their advancement roll to enter the Command Center and capture the station. Any remaining Turbolaser emplacements are now under Pirate control. Players may choose their facing and attack targets for the rest of the mission. If the command center is destroyed Credit rewards are reduced by half.
