Destroy the exposed relays. They're hardened against energy – bring ballistics.
Trench run
Fly the tunnels and kill the cooling units before distortion disables you. Hardened against ballistics – bring energy and something fast.
Destroy the core
Hit the core in a chamber full of distortion and radiation while the rest of the fleet defends Tranquility.
Board and override
Ground team boards, fights through the Shattered Blade and reaches the override terminal.
Escort Gabe
