Emperor wants to send valuable personnel as a slaves to the Kessel mines. You are to capture this transport. Your starting point is a perfect place for trap. Enemy convoy is incoming from north-eastern corner of the map. It seems large, but don't worry - mission is more simple than you may think.

At the very beginning, stop the time and divide your fleet. Group your corvettes in one unit, fighters in second, and then make some groups consisting of 1-2 Y-wing squadrons. Now take a look at the convoy. You will see that some TIE-fighters are first, then goes one Acclamator, then three shuttles, another fighters, another Acclamator and the last shuttles.

Imperial ship flies right into rebel trap.

Your plan is simple - set your corvettes and fighters right in front of enemy. TIE fighters will be destroyed almost immediately after flying into your range. Now strike enemy cruiser with all your forces, using ion cannon shot of one of your Y-wing squadrons and blasting his engines with other bombers. When shuttles come close, send one squadron of bombers after each transport. Stop them with ion cannons and then pick up with Sundered Heart. Repeat the same with another wave and don't be afraid of numerous imperial destroyers - you'll be done before they reach your positions.
