Task

The Cartel has made great effort to attack the Federation systems, as they have a powerful fleet of ships in their possession. During the invasion, the Aliens attacked the Cartel flagship — it was seriously damaged, yet still retained combat capability... The Cartel is repairing the Dreadnought to continue the attack. And we don't want that to happen, do we? Since all the Federation fleet forces have been sent to defend the systems from the invasion, it is vital to prevent the Cartel from restoring the dreadnought and using it to continue attacks on our positions.

Stages

The first stage

Requires players to take down 10 Missile defense turrets, they fire missiles at high velocity dealing thermal damage, they will also be defended by numerous plasma turrets and Cartels ships.
