Briefing: This scenario is a recreation of the Liandri robot uprising on the mechanical asteroid LBX-7683 and the subsequent quelling of this rebellion by human forces.

Attacking

Attackers Objectives:

1 - Align the satellite dish.
2 - Destroy the gate.
3 - Cut the data cables.
4 - Destroy shield components.
5 - Destroy the AI generator

Pulverize the defenders’ turrets with the goliath’s primary cannon.

Use the Goliath tanks and lightning guns to destroy the link turrets defending the approach to the satellite controls. Secondary gunners in the tanks can protect the vehicle against defenders. The approach to the gate is much more challenging--an ion turret (and more link turrets) protect the approach. Destroy the ion turret as quickly as possible. Without the turrets, defenses will fall quickly to the Goliath tanks and ground forces. Once the gate is destroyed, you lose the tanks.

Charge into the facility and assault the data cables. Concentrate fire on the cables as you approach the room; there are two entrances so mix up your attack to keep defenders out of position. The three shield components are your next target. You can take a high or low route to the shield nexus (use the bounce pad at the spawn spot). Mix up your attack and you may get some easy shots against the shield components if defenders focus on one entrance. Also don’t neglect the shield pack along the way. Note that the center shield component is covered in its front so you must attack from its rear. Take the short route to the AI generator once the shield is down. Drop down on the left or right edge of the circular platform below the AI generator and circle strafe around the device firing rockets until the generator finally falls. Or you could crouch at the edge of the entrance and shoot the generator from longer range.

Defending

Defenders Objectives:

1 - Defend the satellite controls.
2 - Defend the main gate.
3 - Defend the data cables.
4 - Defend the shield nexus.
5 - Defend the AI generator

Use the link turret to defend the entrance to the satellite controllers. A few other defenders can use the grenade launcher against approaching enemies. Other defenders support the link turrets in eliminating the vehicles as frequently as possible. Once the satellite is aligned, fall back to the ion turret. Prevent the vehicle advance using the ion turret. After a vehicle explodes, don’t forget to shoot any surviving occupants.

Defend both routes into the data cable room. Grab the nearby shield pack to aid in your defense. Use the bounce pad to quickly adjust from lower to upper path as necessary. Move into the shield nexus and defend the lower and upper entrances. Finally, back into the AI generator room and protect the three lower entrances. Watch for attackers to shoot at the generator from longer range. Don’t allow an attacker to stay uncontested for long.
