msgid "A number of key Independent systems have come under simultaneous attack by Tzac forces. We need to drive them away, so that we can continue to focus on the more pressing threat of the Pandoran army. At this time, it is vital that we prevent Christabel from making any significant gains by amassing her forces in these locations."
msgid "Tzac forces are continuing to make aggressive moves against Alba. Its forces need to be driven back, and out of the system entirely. Naval power is starting to come under strain, and these continued assaults could leave us vulnerable to a Pandoran attack."
msgid "While Trilliack is happy to arrest the traitors it brings in, Alba wishes to dole out swift punishment for their actions. Eliminate all enemy targets, with the exception of any fighters that surrender. Only those are to be brought in."
msgid "Roman Burgess, one of the masterminds behind the illicit arms and information smuggling to Tzac, has been located. Senior command want this man alive, so that he can be interrogated and lead us to the others. He must not under any circumstances be allowed to be killed."
msgid "The Pandorans have begun moving forces into the system, and formed a number of staging grounds. Some of these grounds consist of Tzac fighters that have been acquired from Crystabel's forces. As of now, they are non-operational, but are being defended by some mobile plasma turrets. The objective is simple: destroy those fighters."
msgid "With the Pandorans upping their aggression, we have taken steps to start evacuating the Alba system. Many civilians will be using craft incapable of forming of their jump points, and so will be reliant on the gates. We therefore must ensure that these gates remain functional, and that all Pandoran opposition is held back."
msgid "Taylor, get over to that gate as fast as you can, and prepare to defend it. Be advised: the Pandorans are now commanding, INF, UNF, and Tzac fighters."

They are presently closing in on Torelli, and will almost certainly begin a ground assault once within range. CSN Dragon is being used to clear their path to the planet, and while you're not going to engage the planet itself, we need to ensure the survival of our own capital ships as much as possible."
msgid "With the mercenary threat seen off and Tzac's initial attacks thwarted, it's time to begin pushing back against Christabel's forces.

msgid "Tzac bombers have been identified in the area, deploying mines. While this violates intergalactic treaties, we could never assume that Tzac, much like the Pandorans, would abide by the rules of war. We need to take down those bombers quickly.

msgstr ""
msgid "That's the bombers taken care of, but the area is still littered with mines."
msgstr ""
msgid "We'll need to get a team in here to take care of them."
msgid "Following the elimination of the Tzac bombers, we need to clear the leftover mines from the system, in case they cause us difficulties in later operations.

msgid "The day that we have feared and the events that we attempted to avert are now upon us - the Pandoran army has commenced its push beyond Mitikas space, and is beginning to assault neighbouring Independent star systems. We need to fight back, in order to protect Clarke from becoming underrun by this menace. Take heed: this will not be an easy battle, but we have little choice and must secure victory here today."
msgstr ""
msgid "We have successfully punched our way through several squadrons of Pandoran fighters, but their capital ships are fast approaching Dublin. Your objective is to take down two of their corvettes: INF Dirk and INF Blackjack. Ensure the Khepri-class bombers can get in close enough to delivery a strike."

msgid "White Knights, Commodore Parks has identified three enemy corvettes are high level targets. He wants Dodds, Koonan and Todd to take them down, as quickly as possible. There won't be any additional fighter support, but three ATAFs should be more than enough to get the job done. de Winter and Taylor are currently on another assignment. Dodds will lead the attack."
msgid "We have discovered that Alysha's Calling, one of the highest profile enemy frigates, is currently in the system. We are preparing a strike team of Hammerheads, led by the Twilight Lancers, to engage and destroy it. It is unknown what effects, if any, the destruction of this ship will have on enemy morale, however it can only have a positive impact on ours. The frigate's support groups will need to be destroyed first."
msgid "The enemy are beginning to overrun our front line. Your objective is simple: engage and destroy all hostile forces. We cannot afford to lose any more ground here. To do so would mean conceding defeat and Clarke falling to the Pandoran fleet. This must not happen."
msgid "Though we suffered heavy losses at Coyote, it is still important that we attempt to prevent, or at least slow, the Pandoran war machine's advance. Admiral Jenkins has ordered that the White Knights lead an attack on the enemy forces gathered in the system.

msgid "Pandoran forces are beginning their assault on Donesta. They must be engaged and driven out of the system. However, it appears that they are making use of UNF fighters, in an attempt to confuse our own pilots. Visual identification should therefore not be relied on to determine targets, as radar will help to separate their units from ours."
msgid "A patrol group has sighted a number of crates drifting near to Alexandria. The contents of the crates is currently unknown, but they have been confirmed to be belong to the CSN. A shuttle has been dispatched to retrieve them, in case they should wander in to any shipping lanes. Once we have them in our possession, we will work to determine how they came to be here."

msgid "Iron Patriots, we're again identifying a handful of crates drifting close to your current position. Please effect pick up."
msgid "The interogation of the pilot brought in earlier revealed that munitions are being traded with Helios' age-old enemy, the Kingdom of Tzac. The arms are being routed to Rothan, via Temper. This would explain the high pirate presence along the border. It doesn't explain why the packages were spilled, however, and our guest is keeping mum on the subject. Patrols are being stepped up, in an effort to help provide more intelligence."

msgstr ""
msgid "What do you think they've got planned for this thing?"
msgstr ""
msgid "No idea. But what I do know is that we're not involved any further."
msgid "A distress call from a CSN squadron has been issued, who were engaging Pandoran targets. It appears as though the enemy have magged the fighters, rather than destroy them. INF tugs are preparing to lead them out of the system, via the jumpgate. We need to destroy those tugs, and get those men and women to safety. We cannot allow the Pandorans to get hold of any of our technology."
msgid "White Knights, the enemy tugs are already in position and are attaching tow ropes. They must not be allowed to get those fighters and pilots to the jumpgate."
msgid "The Pandorans are preparing for a major push into Rothan, so we need to shore up defences as quickly as possible. Command have selected a number of positions that will give us a strategic advantage in the early stages of battle when the enemy arrives. The Blue Jesters are to link up with the Irregular Nomads near to one Rothan's inner jumpgates, and await further instructions."
msgid "Control, we're in position. Awaiting the Irregular Nomads."

msgid "Irregular Nomads have just exited the jumpgate. They'll be with you shortly."

msgid "Commander Spencer, we're on our way. We'll join you at the waypoint."

msgid "Acknowledged, Lieutenant, we'll see you in a bit."
msgstr ""
msgid "Control, we're ready to--"
msgstr ""
msgid "Commander, be advised that we are detecting UNF fighters advancing on your position, several Nymphs and Fireflies. They are not responding to requests to identify presence or purpose."
msgstr ""
msgid "Pandorans?"
msgstr ""
msgid "Their signatures don't suggest so."
msgstr ""
msgid "Commander, incoming fighters are hostile. Suggest you prepare to engage or fallback to the jumpgate."
msgstr ""
msgid "Acknowledged, moving to engage."
msgstr ""
msgid "Control, enemy targets have been eliminated."
msgstr ""
msgid "Any survivors?"
msgstr ""
msgid "Negative, I didn't see anyone eject from those fighters."
msgstr ""
msgid "Commander, your current missions has been aborted. Return to the jumpgate. We need a full report as to what just happened out there."
msgid "The Pandorans have launched a sudden attack against the system. It appears that they are capitalizing on the chaos that the Kingdom of Tzac has thrown us into. We need to repel this attack, as defeat here could mean a major setback in our struggle against both enemies."
msgstr ""
msgid "Hell, they're outnumbering us, a good two-to-one!"
msgstr ""
msgid "There are Swarmers in their ranks, making up the bulk. Don't lose faith people, we can do this."
msgstr ""
msgid "That's the last of 'em. Not often we win an engagement like this."
msgid "The Pandorans are pressing home their advantage, and closing in on Rothan's inhabitted planets. They must defeated, as a loss here would mean them starting a ground assault. Expect heavy resistance."
msgid "This is a very dangerous mission. While the Pandorans appear to have accepted you as one of their pilots, they will still be highly suspicious. You should therefore do whatever possible to keep their suspicions low. Stick close to the wing commander when not in combat. Do not fire your guns or use your ECM if you don't need to, and eliminate your targets with extreme prejudice, no matter what."
msgid "A simple test flight. Get used to piloting your fighter, without threat of attack or any other dangers to face. There are no objectives to complete in this mission, so you may quit it at any time and move on to the next one."
msgstr ""
msgid "Welcome to free flight."
msgstr ""
msgid "Practice turning, accelerating, and braking."
msgstr ""
msgid "Don't forget about your Boost, either. That can be a life saver in certain situations."
msgstr ""
msgid "Practice using your fighter's weapons against a stationary target."
msgstr ""
msgid "The Dart won't attack you, so when you're ready, you can blow the thing to pieces."
msgstr ""
msgid "Most targets you face in the field will be moving. This course gives you the chance to practice taking down an enemy that moves around."
msgid "Face off against an opponent that is armed. The enemy in this course is a Dart, kitted out with twin particle cannons. It shouldn't prove too difficult a challenge."
msgid "Practice using your ECM in the next encounter. The Dart here is equipped with missiles, which will home in on you. You can thwart these attacks by careful use of your ECM. Once you are done practicing, you can destroy the Dart and move on."
msgid "Use your mag cannons to disable the enemy Dart. Disabling enemy craft and bringing the target in alive is sometimes an important step in securing lasting victory."
msgstr ""
msgid "Switch to your Mag cannons and fire them at the Dart to disable it. Do not fire your plasma cannons or launch any missiles, as these could destroy the target."
msgstr ""
msgid "Battle along side two team mates to take on 3 enemy fighters."
msgid "Take on three enemy targets single handedly. Once again, these are Darts equipped with simple particle cannons. A single TAF should not find itself outclassed here, so long as the enemy are not allowed to gain the upper hand."
msgid "The Pandoran's push in to Independent space has led to a surge in pirate activity along the Confederation border. The threat needs to be dealt with immediately, starting with cutting back on the enemy presence at Temper."
msgid "Despite recent efforts, the pirate and insurgent activity shows no sign of abating. We need to continue to smash the rings as we find them and prevent them from gaining a foothold in Temper, as this could only be bad for morale and the war effort. While we still face Darts, the modifications to these craft are becoming more prevalent, and there are more shielded and plasma-equipped fighters to be found in their ranks."
msgid "As before, everyone. Let's take it to 'em."
msgstr ""
msgid "Looks like these guys are all sporting modified Darts."
msgstr ""
msgid "Acknowledged. Watch out for the lasers, people. They'll smash your shields to pieces if you let 'em."
msgstr ""
msgid "Allied intelligence have managed to locate one of the pirate ring lieutenants. We need to bring this man in alive, as he could provide us with further useful information that will allow us to track down and eliminate high ranking individuals. You will be piloting a Ray, and will need to use your Mag cannons to disable the target. Do not destroy the lieutenant's Dart."
msgstr ""
msgid "Seth, the lieutenant's Dart should be tagged on your HUD. Disable that ship as soon as possible."
msgstr ""
msgid "The rest of us will take down his buddies. Watch your stray fire around the mission target."
msgstr ""
msgid "Control, this is Strickland. Target has been suppressed, all other threats eliminated Will awake pickup."
msgstr ""
msgid "It took some time, but we have finally been able to extract the required information from the lieutenant we captured. His information has revealed that the pirates have formed a coalition to take advantage of the brewing war. We need to smash this alliance apart by targetting the faction leaders. They are currently fleeing an earlier ambush, one designed to send them your way. The leaders are all piloting acquired Nymphs. Take them down."
msgid "With the leaders all gone, we're now in a position to end the organised piracy problem in Temper for good. We have identified a number of Darts massing for what appears to be a strike against CSN assets, in retribution. We're not going to give the pirates the chance to do so, and strike them first. Strickland will lead the Steel Bulls into battle."
msgstr ""
msgid "Enemy forces sighted."
msgstr ""
msgid "This is it, boys and girls, let's stick it to 'em. Break and attack!"
msgstr ""
msgid "Looks like we touched a nerve. We've got more Darts incoming."
msgstr ""
msgid "Another group just arrived."
msgstr ""
msgid "They'll keep lining 'em up, and we'll keep knocking them down."
msgstr ""
msgid " Another group. That tallies with the numbers we were expecting."
msgstr ""
msgid " Looks like that was the last of 'em."
msgstr ""
msgid " Spirit, this is Commander Strickland. Opposing forces have been defeated."
msgstr ""
msgid "Acknowledged. Good work out there, Commander. Thanks to you, Temper will be a safer system, and we can focus on shoring up our defenses against the Pandoran forces. Come on home."
msgid "Your instructions are simple, Hicks. As before, follow the wing leader's instructions, and do as the others do. Stay close to the leader when not otherwise engaged, and do not do anything to raise your suspicion. Act quickly to assure the Pandorans you're with them."
msgstr ""
msgid "(More hunting. I hope I'm not going to be forced to kill innocent people again.)"
msgstr ""
msgid "(Mercenaries. Better than civilians, but still abhorrent. Run, you fools! Run!)"
msgstr ""
msgid "(Looks like that's it. We're heading to the jumpgate.)"
msgid "Intelligence reports suggest that Tzac have hired a number of mercenaries to assist in their attacks on Independent systems. Information obtained from underground sources says that they are planning on targetting UNF capital ships. While known mercenary hardware should not challenge our ships, for now all UNF corvettes will travel with extended fighter escorts, as a precaution."
msgstr ""
msgid "Enemy fighter signatures detected. Looks like Darts."
msgstr ""
msgid "Those will be the mercenaries we've been hearing about. All fighters, prepare to engage."
msgstr ""
msgid "How many of these bastards did Tzac hire?!"
msgstr ""
msgid "Whatever the number, we'll make sure we send a clear message it wasn't enough!"
msgstr ""
msgid "Looks like that's all of them, Commander."
msgstr ""
msgid "Confirmed. Tzac must have opened up the coffers to fund this. Those guys meant business."
msgstr ""
msgid "I still can't believe they came at us in Darts."
msgstr ""
msgid "They must've been paid handsomely for that."
msgstr ""
msgid "Stick round, Commander. We might need you later."
msgid "A number of those responsible for helping supply illegal arms and information to Tzac have been identified. They are to be tracked down, and brought in for questioning. At this point, we want to avoid killing them, as they could prove vital to bringing in the ringleaders."
msgid "It seems that some of the traitors that were brought in earlier were acting as a distraction for a number of others, who have now commandeered CSN Drachma. The corvette must be taken back, without destroy it. All other targets are valid, unless surrendering."
msgid "There are now only two figureheads in the traitor group remaining: Isabel Nelson, and one other whose identity is currently being confirmed. Isabel Nelson has been located in the vicinity. As before, disable her fighter so she can be brought in. Disable any other surrendering targets."
msgid "Our forces have taken heavy losses of the last few engagements, but there is still much to do. Three Pandoran corvettes have been tagged for destruction. We need to ensure that they are taken down, while we minimise losses of our own. We cannot afford to lose all of our own capital ships. Work fast, and assist Zenobia, Lady Jane Grey, and Tangka as needed."
msgid "The Pandorans are already deploying ground assault teams to Flint. The attack is in its early stages, with more troop carrier incoming. The enemy are meeting our defence lines aggressively, to clear a path for their landers. We need to hit back hard, and prevent Flint from being taken. Objective is simple: destroy all enemy forces."
msgid "We're losing fighters, rapidly. We need to focus our efforts on dividing the enemy up and taking them down together."
msgstr ""
msgid "Picking up incoming Tzac corvettes."
msgstr ""
msgid "More than half the fighter defence has been eliminated! We can't continue like this!"
msgstr ""
msgid "The Pandoran forces are closing in on Flint. They will commence planetary bombardment if allowed to get any closer."
msgstr ""
msgid "Dodds, Commodore Parks has ordered that you pull out immediately."
msgstr ""
msgid "Griffin, what the hell? We can take them!"
msgstr ""
msgid "That's a negative, Dodds. You're to return to the carrier, and prepare for withdrawal."
msgstr ""
msgid "I'm not going to run away. Not again."
msgstr ""
msgid "Dodds, this is Commodore Park. I'm giving you a direct order. This isn't a battle we can win, and I'm not having you throw away your life or lose that starfighter. Get out, now. Final warning, mister."
msgid "We're sorry, Hicks, but you need to continue following orders. We're aware of what is about to happen, but this is for the greater good. Try to get through this in one piece. Both mentally and physically."
msgid "(They're going after the civilians again. I hope this ends soon. I'm not sure how much more this I can take.)"
msgstr ""
msgid "As already confirmed by Neal Stockwell, the evacuation of Oracle IX in response to the supernova has not be progressing as rapidly as many would like. And now, with the Pandoran army on the move, we need to quicken the pace. A number of civilian stragglers has been identified near to Oracle IX, who are in need of escort to the evacuation point. Your objective is to locate all the civilian craft in the area, and bring them in. No enemy forces are expected, but it is best to be on your guard."
msgid "We're not expecting any opposition, but be prepared to engage hostiles if needed."
msgstr ""
msgid "We have identified around a dozen more stragglers that need to be brought in. Lead them to the evacuation point as before. Take caution: intelligence picked up encrypted signals that appear to match those used by the Pandorans for their transmissions. Enemy forces should be engaged and destroyed or routed on contact. Civilian losses should be minimised."
msgstr ""
msgid "The final stages of the evacuation are in progress, but the situation is getting tight. We've received an SOS from a group of civilians who have had a run in with some scavengers. Ordinarily, we would secure the area first before deploying rescue, but with the situation becoming ever desperate, we are going to send out the tug now. Bring home each civilian craft - the enemy should ignore them for now."
msgstr ""
msgid "The Pandorans' arrival is imminent, but the evacuation is nearing completion. We need only mop up some of the stragglers. Two of the White Knights will be assisting, before moving on to hit the enemy's supply line. You should concentrate on getting the civilians to safety, and letting the ATAFs do the bulk of the work."

msgid "Excellent, we're very grateful for the assistance."
msgstr ""
msgid "The Pandoran fleet is closing in on Oracle IX, and their capital ships are moving rapidly up the field. We need to hold them back for as long as possible, to give the final evacuees time to escape the system. This will need to be done with fighters along. However, Lieutenant Commanders Taylor and Todd of the White Knights will be lending assistance with the ATAFs, which should give us the edge in battle."
