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. The weight of the opposing forces remains tremendous, though the ATAFs should help to give us the edge in battle. Be advised that the enemy are now in possession of UNF fighter craft."
msgid "The initial fight back against the Pandoran has gone well, but the system is still choked with their forces. We need to continue to engage them and force them to abandon the system."
msgid "The assault isn't going as well as we want, and we're beginning to suffer heavy losses as the Pandoran forces overwhelm us. However, we need to continue the fight back, and attempt to hold the enemy here. They cannot be allowed to advance further in to Independent space."
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 "The crates were found to be carrying a variety of munitions, though we're still unsure of where they came from. We're dispatching shuttles to accompany the next few patrols, in case we should encounter any more."
msgid "The interogation of the pilot brought in earlier revealed that munitions are being traded with Helios' age-old enemy, the Nation 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."
msgid "We finally have all the information we need to help safeguard the Confederation in these turbulent times. By smashing the pirate ring involved in the supplying of arms to Tzac, we can regain control of our internal security matters, and refocus on the war against the Pandorans. All targets must be destroyed, but be advised that the pirates have acquired rocket cannons, that could prove costly if underestimated."
msgid "The Pandorans have commenced their attack on our home, and we must act immediately to defend ourselves. A wave of bombers is heading towards one of our starports. They need to be taken down with haste, before they get in range. They may only be being escorted by Jackals, but bare in a mind that the Pandoran pilots are highly skilled, and unrelenting in battle."
msgid "The Pandoran war machine has commenced its advancement beyond Mitikas space. We must prepare to defend Iliad from this powerful foe. Exercise caution: despite outnumbering the enemy units that have entered our space, the Pandorans are said to be relentless in battle, and this small number could well still test us."
msgid "In order to slow the advance of the Pandoran forces, we are going to target one of their supply lines. This should buy us some time while we await UNF and CSN reinforcements, and bring more of our capital ships into position."
msgid "We're ready to make a run against the Pandoran fleet's front line, and move our capital ships into strike range. Agamemnon's 1st will assist the Lady Jane Grey, and Joan of Arc, to engage three INF corvettes, under enemy control. We need to ensure that we take down the opposing capitals while ensuring our own survive. The enemy outnumber us, and we need to maintain our strength as much as possible."
msgid "The defence of Iliad is slipping, our forces are being decimated. We have to hit the enemy back, hard. All available fighters are to move into range and engage. If we lose here, Iliad is finished. We are the last line of defence, and we cannot afford to fail."
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."
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."
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."
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 presense 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 prevelant, and there are more shielded and plasma-equipped fighters to be found in their ranks."
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."
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."
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 "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 civilation craft in the area, and bring them in. No enemy forces are expected, but it is best to be on your guard."
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."
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."
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 "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."
