Training:

The 5 commonly used droid programs (Weapon Overload 3 [imperial], Engine Overload 3 [imperial], Reactor Overload 3 [Freelance], Weapon Capacitator Overload 3 [Freelance], Capacitor to Shield Shunt 3 [Freelance]) fit in the astromech/flight computer you'll get certified for at Tier 3.


The missions: Several missions present an alternative when you fail part of the mission, but they are missing from this walkthrough.


Tier 1

Down to business. The Tier 1 trainer is Captain Kreezo in Tyrena on Corellia (-5178, -2283). He'll give you a couple of easy missions to get your big toe wet and learn the basics of space.


1st mission: Patrol

Just fly to the patrol point. Once you reach it, you'll get a mission update that you've reached it and a new point to fly to. After a couple of patrol points, you'll be jumped by a couple of Tier 1 TIE Fighters. Destroy them and return to base.


1st objective: Patrol

2nd objective: Eliminate enemy patrol


Enemy opposition: 3 Tier 1 TIE Fighters

2nd mission: Search & Destroy 4 TIE Fighters

You'll be given a couple of waypoints of possible TIE Fighter locations, but any TIE Fighter in Corellian space will do. Find 4 of them and destroy them, then return to base.


1st objective: Search & Destroy


Enemy opposition: At least 4 Tier 1 TIE Fighters, they usually spawn in groups of 3 so more likely you'll be taking 6 down.

3rd mission: Search lost transport

You'll start a patrol route to locate the lost transport. After hitting a couple of points you'll get a mission update that it has been located and you'll be given a rendezvous waypoint. Meet with the transport and escort it to safety.


1st objective: Patrol

2nd objective: Escort


Enemy opposition: During the escort waves consisting each of 3 Tier 1 TIE Fighters will attempt to take out the transport. Low spawnrate, especially due to the newer escort speeds.

4th mission: Eleminate TIE Veteran Commander

You'll get a waypoint with his current location, fly to it and take him out. Return to base for your first training and some well deserved R&R.


1st objective: Assasination


Enemy opposition: 1 Tier 2 TIE Fighter (commander) and 2 Tier 1 TIE Fighters (his escort)

The trainer can provide you with duty missions to get the xp needed for the last 3 boxes of Tier 1.

Tier 2

To get the 1st mission, you'll first need enough xp to train a box. The trainer can provide you with duty missions. The Tier 2 trainer is Lady Viopa in Nym's bhold on Lok (473 4778). She likes to treat her pilots like her kids, so don't go all soft on me.


1st mission: Capture a Lambda shuttle

You'll be given a possible target location. Fly to it. The shuttle won't be hostile (yet) so target next enemy won't let you find it. Use target next friendly or look out the window, they're kinda hard to miss. To capture an enemy vessel you'll need to disable it. Disabling a ship is done by targeting a subcomponent ( [ and ] with the default mapping). Take out either the engine or reactor. Take out any weapons too, since you'll need to dock with it. Once you've recovered the cargo you'll be ambushed by the enemy and have to fight your way out.


1st objective: Disable Shuttle and dock with it to retrieve cargo

2nd objective: Survive ambush


Enemy opposition: a Lambda shuttle (probably Tier 1 or Tier 2, forgot to note down), 2 Tier 1 (or 2) Elite Guard TIE Interceptors (you must kill these or the shuttle is bugged for the next pilot), and 3 Tier 2 TIE Fighters for the ambush.

2nd mission: Meet with a smuggler

This time you'll need to do some ground traveling first. Meet up with Vrak in the Tyrena cantina to set up a meeting with a smuggler, then return to Lady Viopa to get the package for the smuggler. Next, launch and jump to Dantooine for the rendezvous. Once you've made contact, it will turn into an escort mission. Hold off the enemy while the smuggler slices the encrypted data. Return to base with the sliced data.


1st objective: Meet with Vrak in Tyrena

2nd objective: Retrieve data from Lady Viopa

3rd objective: Meet with the smuggler in Dantooine space

4th objective: Protect the smuggler


Enemy opposition: Waves of 3 enemies warping in, mixtures of Tier 2 TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors. Normal spawnrate.

3rd mission: Kidnap Imperial officer

Simple mission, launch, disable the shuttle (see mission Tier 2.1) and escort it to safety after it's captured.


1st objective: Capture

2nd objective: Escort


Enemy opposition: Tier 2 Lambda Shuttle with 3 Tier 2 TIE Fighters as escort. During the escort ships will warp in 3 at the time. Mixture of Tier 2 TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors. Normal spawnrate.

4th mission: A traitor in the ranks!

Have a chat with a certain Bothan who doesn't have the decency to stay bought (Vrak, Tyrena cantina). After that, the Empire seems to take an awful lot of trouble to protect a freighter, so it's your job to take it out.


1st objective: Have a chat (Return to Lady Viopa to get 2nd objective.)

2nd objective: Take out freighter


Enemy opposition: 1 Tier 2 Freighter with 5 Tier 2 TIE Fighters and 1 Tier 3 TIE Fighter as escort.

Time to say goodbye to Lady Viopa, just remember to visit her after the war.

Tier 3

I hope you didn't go soft, because Lt. Colonel Aqzow is one big, mean, ugly Trandoshan and you'd better start and end your sentences with Sir! He does know how to fly, though, and that's what we're here for. (Yavin IV Labor Outpost -6888, -5664)


1st mission: Intercept and capture Imperial Spy

A spy is making a b-line for the Imperial fleet. Intercept him, disable his ship and capture him. He is in a YT-1300, so you should take out one of his weapons before you disable him so you have a safe side to await his capture. Then escort him back to Rebel HQ for interrogation. After the escort, the order comes through to evacuate. You're the assist in clearing a path and helping any wings that meet trouble.


1st objective: Disable & escort

2nd objective: Patrol

3rd objective: Destroy Imperial scout patrol

4th objective: Assist X-Wing squad in defeating Imperial patrols


Enemy opposition:

1st objective: 1 YT-1300. During escort waves of 3 TIE's, consisting of Tier 3 TIE Fighters and Tier 2 TIE Interceptors

2nd objective: 3 Tier 3 TIE Fighters

3rd objective: 3 Tier 2 TIE Fighters

4th objective: 3 Tier 3 TIE Fighters and 3 Tier 3 TIE Interceptors (with X-Wing squad support for you *HA*)

2nd mission: Trouble is brewing in Endor

Rebel HQ needs more information on Endor system. Inspect Hutt smugglers in Endor for useful data and take it by force when found. Deliver the data to Rebel HQ in Lok, then jump back to Endor to prevent an enemy strikegroup from reaching the fleet. Once that is done, a late freighter shows up and needs an escort.


1st objective: Inspect Hutt smugglers and capture data on Endor system

2nd objective: Deliver the data to Rebel HQ

3rd objective: Buy the fleet time to jump out by intercepting the enemy strikegroup

4th objective: Escort freighter


Enemy opposition:

1st objective: Tier 3 Dunelizards

2nd objective: Endless spawns of waves of 3 Tier 2 TIE Fighters/TIE Interceptors, dock with rebel ship to stop the spawns and finish the mission. Bring a friend to protect you or use a good shield and CtSS3 or 4.

3rd objective: Mixture of Tier 2 and 3 TIE Fighters, TIE Interceptors and TIE Bombers. Difficulty is cyclic, starts with waves of 3 to a peak of waves of 5.

4th objective: Waves of 3 Tier 2 TIE Interceptors.

3rd mission: A nice mixed bag

You start off with some courier duty. Then you'll have to take out a reconnaissance ship with escort. With that ship out of the way, the path is clear for Green Squadron to attack a group of Imperials, you're to assist them. After all that fun, you'll get to conclude this mission with a nice escort.


1st objective: Deliver data

2nd objective: Take out Lambda shuttle with escort

3rd objective: Help Green squad

4th objective: Escort


Enemy opposition:

1st objective: 3 Tier 3 TIE Interceptors, dock first then fight to stop the spawns

2nd objective: Tier 3 Lambda shuttle with 3 Tier 3 TIE Interceptors

3rd objective: 6 Tier 3 TIE Interceptors/TIE Fighters

4th objective: Usual waves of 3's, Tier 3 TIE Fighters

4th mission: Endor operations falling apart

It's starting to look like you're the only decent pilot around. You'll be helping out all over Endor. But first, you must jump to Dathomir to prevent Major Kroger from reaching Endor. Once you've taken him out, you'll be informed that Magenta Squadron has vanished and guess who got the job of investigating? Of course, you'll be ambushed. If you make it out alive, Blue Squadron requires your assistance in taking out a TIE Bomber wing. Then, you'll need to make a last stand to give the fleet time to go to hyperspace.


1st objective: Assassination

2nd objective: Patrol, survive ambush

3rd objective: Assist Blue Squadron

4th objective: Hold off enemy fighter wing


Enemy opposition: (since this mission is a bit hectic, the numbers of your opposition may be different from what is listed)

1st objective: 1 Tier 3 TIE Advanced, 2 Tier 3 TIE Interceptors

2nd objective: 6 Tier 3 TIE's

3rd objective: 6 Tier 3 TIE Fighters/TIE Bombers

4th objective: Waves of 3 Tier 3 TIE's

One last "Sir!" to the Lt. Colonel and we move off to the Tier 4 trainer.

Tier 4

Your tier 4 trainer is Warvog Arkon, leader of Arkon's Havoc Squadron. Ain't that surprising? He's getting on in years and his hearing isn't what it used to be, but the old Twi still has a couple of tricks up his sleeve you could learn. You'll need to get the xp and train a box before he gives you your first mission. He's made a backroom in Nym's Hotel his command post (406, 5090 on Lok).


1st mission: Black Sun causing trouble

The alliance owes Nym a couple of favors for his help. His mining vessels are under attack by Black Sun and need assistance. You're to defend a region a space while Nym's fleet jumps out to safety. Once you've completed this, you're to take the battle to the Black Sun to weaken their operations in this area of space. Return to base when done.


1st objective: Defend

2nd objective: Assault


Enemy opposition:

1st objective: Waves of 4 to 5 Tier 4 Light Black Suns

2nd objective: 8 Tier 4 Light Black Suns

2nd mission: Terminate the Inquisitor

A simple assassination mission. Once done, you'll pick up some interesting data he was carrying.

2nd objective: Deliver


Enemy opposition:

1st objective: 1 Tier 4 TIE Advanced, 6 Tier 4 TIE Interceptors

2nd objective: Waves of 3 Tier 4 TIE Fighters, very high spawnrate. As usual with delivery missions, dock to stop the spawns.

3rd mission: Attack on Imperial Space Station

You're to assist in the attack on an Imperial Space station, taking care of a fighter wing first. When the last fighter has been vanquished, you'll be called upon to help a B-Wing squadron out of trouble.

An Imperial technician is traveling to an Imperial space station under construction in Lok. You're job is to capture his vessel and escort it to safety. After that, Rebel HQ spots a couple of freighters inbound for the station with building materials. Make sure they never reach it. By now, the Empire is pretty tired of you and sends in a large wing to eliminate you.


1st objective: Capture and escort

Enemy opposition:

1st objective: 1 Tier 4 Lambda shuttle, 6 Tier 4 TIE's, waves of 6 TIE's up to Aggressors during escort.

3rd objective: 1 Tier 4 Decimator, 8 Tier 4 TIE's up to Aggressors

Well, it's time to thank Arkon for his training, so speak loudly. He'll inform you that Admiral Wilhelm Burke (Doaba Guerfel, Corellia) has requested your presence. Take some R&R in the Hotel's casino first, though.

Master Missions

It is time to go see Admiral Burke. You will find the information you need here.

I would like to thank Washell, again, for all his hard work compiling the information above.
