     			      Version 1.01
1. Installation
Extract all files into your FreeSpace 2 directory. The files should extract in the proper folders automatically.


2. Role of the mission
This mission is the first one in my campaign. The campaign will have 15 missions and full sounds included. Of course, I´ll post two versions of it (with/without sounds).

3. Notes
I´ve balanced the mission on the medium skill setting. Of course this is not a guarantee for good balancing. If you have any comments, or whatever, please mail them to "uwe.goerke@freenet.de". Thank you!

If you save all ships and destroy all enemies, you´ll get the allied defence citation. This medal won´t be granted in the mission simulator. I´ve just included it for my campaign. In the completed campaign it´ll be granted successfully.

One more strange thing. I´ve got the german version of FreeSpace 2 and there aren´t any apostrophes. I can write them in the editor, but they won´t be shown in the mission. Hopefully you know where they are expected to be. I hope I´ll find a solution soon.

Due to a bug in FreeSpace 2 the game will crash if you destroy a ship before it´s IFF has changed. This means that if you destroy one of the containers before the IFF has changed, the game will freeze. I set the containers flags to "protect ship" and "beam protect ship", this means that the AI won´t attack the containers.

Changes in version 1.01:
-I revised the briefing. Some people told me that the briefing is too  short. I deleted the old stages and created some more. Now the briefing is much more detailed.
-I increased the difficulty by adding Sagittarius and Aquarius wing. Aquarius wing (GVB Sekhmet) is attacking the Belisarius. Now the player has to intercept those bombers to rescue the Belisarius. Sagittarius wing (GVF Tauret)is attacking the Ceapon, but will intercept Alpha as well.
-I changed the background a bit. One nebula was too small. I resized it and now everything´s fine. At least I think :-)
-I´ve re-arranged the events in the events editor. This helps to understand all the sexps and, of course, to debug.
-I´ve re-written some stages in the debriefing.
-I´ve added a message (+voice) ordering the player to intercept Aquarius wing.

Thanks to all who gave feedback!
