Mission Objective 1 - 7 - Destroy 8 Shield Generators

Completing the Main Objectives of this mission are pretty easy, you can do it in about three and a half minutes if you want. That is, as long as you have a plan of attack. There are three basic things to concern yourself with in this mission.

First the Shield Generators, also known as pylons. They are located around the perimeter of the giant shield encompassing the level, just follow the energy streams that crisscross the surface of the shield to their sources on the ground. All you have to do is take out seven of them to make the shield come down. To make it easier to target the pylons in such close quarters your ship can now stop and hover in one spot as long as your holding the brake button (L2). Don't stay in one spot too long however as Hunter-Seeker Droids are around. When you approach a pylon tag it with a sensor tag to take out its blast shields in one shot and then pound away with your nano missiles. It can be hard for the nano missiles to home in on a tagged pylon when you fire in a different direction because of the mountainous terrain. Just something to keep in mind. Shield Generating Pylons take about 15-20 blast from your nano missiles to be destroyed.

The main threats to your survival in this mission are the Turret Droids. Once they get a bead on you they can make quick work of your shields and hull. It's enough to say that you'll want to take these guys out first. There are a few in the center of the level but they won't give you much trouble. It's the ones guarding the pylons that will get you. Next to each pylon is a turret droid. Use your sensor tags on them to take out their shields and then only about four blasts from the nano lasers is all you need. Once the Turret Droid is destroyed you can focus on the pylon, that is if there aren't any Hunter-Seeker Droids around.

The only other threat in the mission are these packs of Hunter-Seeker droids. Since they are slow you can easily out run them but a couple of times during the mission you will have to turn around and face them just to get them off your back. They can be annoying. They are hard to spot at first but you can press and hold the Square button to make them all (that are in front of you) appear with targets around them. They are an easy kill, only taking about one or two shots. After you destroy the original pack that appears it will be a while before more are generated from the Droid Dispensers. That is why it is a good idea to try to get rid of the droid dispensers right from the start which also earns you the first Bonus Objective.

Bonus Objectives

Bonus Objective 1 - Destroy Dispensers before Droids are launched

There are six Droid Dispensers scattered throughout the level but it's a little tough to explain where they are exactly although there is one near every building. Also check the mountain ranges surrounding the center lava pool. As soon as the level starts you'll want to target the first one your right, next to a turret droid and start firing. It should take between 15 and 20 hits to take one out. If you're having trouble finding the last couple just press Triangle over and over until one of the remaining Droid Dispensers appears in your target. Repeat until you've gotten them all. The trick is to be quick; you only have around a minute or so before the dispensers start dispensing. Dispensers cannot dispense droids if they are being fired upon.

Bonus Objective 2 - Destroy all Miner Droids

The Miner Droids are those little droids that look like capsules with two arms. They cannot be target and because they are so small they can be tough to shoot. Be sure to use your zooming feature to get a better view of them as they travel about. The best place to hang out and tag Miner Droids is to hang out on top of the building in the center lava pool. All the miner droids pass the area on their given routes and are easily picked off from here rather than chasing them down. There are eight Miner Droids in total and only take about a minute to eliminate.

Bonus Objective 3 - Complete Mission in under 8 minutes

It's actually hard not to beat this level in under eight minutes. Just stick to business and you should clear the mission with plenty of time to spare.

Mission Objectives

Mission Objective 1 - Disable one SuperFreighter

After you quickly take out the first group of fighters (there are five of them) concentrate your attention on one of the large SuperFreighters. The best choice is the one trailing behind the rest because it easier to avoid the lasers from the other SuperFreighters. Press Triangle until the last SuperFreighter is highlighted. Press UP on your D-pad to call your co-pilots in to attack your target in order to make the SuperFreighter's shields go faster. Once the shields are gone and half of its hull has been compromised the Objective Complete message should appear. Be careful to not continue to fire at the large ship because if you destroy it you will fail the mission. During your attack on the ship another group of Scarabs will attack. For the rest of the mission don't fire another shot at the SuperFreighter. The other SuperFreighters will warp out of the system and the remaining disabled ship will just sit there in space on fire. Focus your attention on the Scarabs for the moment unless you're trying to get gold in the mission then you'll want to go take out four of the smaller Trade Federation Freighters.

Mission Objective 2 - Destroy all Scarab Fighters

There are Scarabs at the beginning of the level to destroy, before you attack the SuperFreighter and they'll be several more squads that attack after the SuperFreighter has been disabled. If you're trying for a gold medal, and you're off destroying Freighters, some of the Scarabs will be taken care of by your wingmen, leaving less for you to worry about. During the bout with the swarms of Scarabs a missile frigate will appear which leads to another opportunity to let your wingmen take care of the Scarabs while you take out the Missile Frigate. You may want to ignore the Missile Frigate if you're not worried about achieving gold for the level but unless you take it out you, yourself may not survive the mission. As it will start to toss up some lethal missiles, which will make the dogfight with the Scarabs even more difficult. During the fight with Scarabs the Trade Federation Repair ships will appear, actually at the same time as the Missile Frigate. After you've taken care of them come back to the Scarabs. As soon as the final Scarabs are destroyed and you get the Objective Complete message a bunch of Droid Starfighters will emerge from the SuperFreighter.

Mission Objective 3 - Destroy Trade Federation Repair ships

During your scuffle with the Scarabs some Trade Federation Repair Ships will appear and attempt to hook up with the disabled SuperFreighter and repair it. You of course can't let that happen. They won't immediately appear in your target though. The Missile Frigate that appears will however appear in your target and after you've destroyed it check around for the Repair Ships since they will appear at the same time. Press the Triangle button to cycle through the available targets until one of the two Repair Ships appear. Once you've got them go in for the kill, being careful to not let any stray shots to hit the SuperFreighter itself. Repair Ships are defenseless and take only half your payload on energy bombs to destroy. Total piece of cake as long as you know when to look for them.

Mission Objective 4 - Destroy all Droid Starfighters

Moments after the last Scarab is destroyed a swarm of Droid Starfighters will appear. They are pretty easy to destroy but they can be quick and they fire a lot more than the Scarabs. Your wingmen will take out a few of them so you really only have to shoot down five or six of them yourself, maybe more but not by much. Try to get them when they are in groups of three to take them out quickly. As soon as the last Starfighter is gone, the mission will end.

Bonus Objectives

Bonus Objective 1 - Destroy four Trade Federation Freighters

As soon as you cripple the SuperFreighter you'll want to home in on the other smaller Trade Federation Freighters trailing the fleet. Ignore the Scarabs for the most part because if you're not pretty quick at destroying the Freighters, they will jump out of the system. It only takes about half of your Havoc's payload of energy bombs plus your lasers to take one of these down in about 10 seconds. After four of them have been destroyed the rest will jump out of the system. Now take out some Scarabs.

Bonus Objective 2 - Complete mission in under 7 minutes

To complete this mission in under seven minutes all you have to is jump from each objective to the next as quickly as possible. The only thing that can bog you down really is the dogfights with the Scarabs and the Droid Starfighters. Try to take them out while they are grouped together for the fastest times. It's really pretty easy to beat the Mission in between five and six minutes as long as you know what' going to happen during the mission and now you know.

Bonus Objective 3 - Destroy Missile Frigate

After the SuperFreighter is disabled and while you are battling the Scarabs you'll be notified by one of your wingmen about the arrival of the Missile Frigate and it will become the target highlighted in your HUD. Now all you have to do is follow the arrow to the Frigate and let off your entire payload of energy bombs straight at it. Once they all hit, the Missile Frigate will be dust. This is also your cue to look for the Repair Ships as they try to dock with the SuperFreighter.

Mission Objectives

Mission Objective 1 - Protect Pirate Freighter during loading

This is one of the tougher missions you'll face although the simple objective of protecting the Pirate Freighter is easy enough, as long as you can stay alive. You and your pirate buddies will be attacked from the sky by Scarabs and from the ground by tanks. The tanks are especially deadly. You do have help however and you should make good use of them by assigning your wingmen to attack various targets or help you with yours.

Actually the steps you have to take in order to get a gold medal for the mission actually help you complete the mission even if you don't care about getting a medal. By destroying the Dropships before they deploy more tanks at the start of the mission it will make it easier for you later with less tanks attacking the Pirate Freighter while it loads the goods. As soon as the level starts hit your boost and start heading towards the two Dropships landing on the far side of the Pirate Freighter landing zone. It will take more than your ship's powerful payload of energy bombs to take out a heavily armored Dropship but with persistence they will go down. Be sure to keep an eye on the ! in the lower right corner, when it lights up it means that the Pirate Freighter and Speeder Bikes are under fire. As soon as they are destroyed go and hit the group of tanks attacking the Pirate Freighter on the ground. Ignore the Scarabs for now. If your quick in destroying the Dropships you can actually meet the tanks and destroy them before they can reach the Pirate Freighter. From the Dropship's landing zone the tanks will be coming from the right side of the Freighter.

Be careful to use your energy bombs sparingly since friendly Speeder Bikes are nearby and stick mostly to your lasers to take the tanks out. As soon as the first group of tanks around the Pirate Freighter (around six or seven of them) are gone go and hit the tanks along the banks of the lake starting with the three tanks found directly across the lake from the Pirate Freighter. At about the same time the Freighter should be ready to get a move on and the Objective Complete message will appear. Go deal with some of those annoying Scarabs, the Pirate Freighter is slow.

Mission Objective 2 - Escort Pirate Freighter

The rest of the mission is all about multi-tasking. You have to be keenly aware of what's going on around. You'll have tanks to destroy all along the river and at the cave's entrance, protect Speeder Bikes, take out bombers, fight Scarabs, keep an eye out for a descending Dropship and stay alive through it all. The most popular way to die in this level I actually from you flying into the blast radius of one of your own energy bomb explosions.

As the slow moving Pirate Freighter starts to shuffle off down the river towards the cave you'll first want to clear the first length of river of all tanks taking positions along the banks. There are two of them around the first bend and there are three more a little further down. As soon as they are cleared all you have to do for the moment is stick around the Freighter as it lumbers along, taking out some Scarabs and dealing with the wave of three Bombers. You'll want to get these guys before they can even reach your Freighter. Your wingmen will alert you when they appear but they won't immediately be targeted. You'll have to do it yourself, manually by pressing the Triangle button until they appear in your target HUD in the lower left of your screen.

With the Bombers gone and depending how far down the river you Freighter has come you should go wipe out some of the tanks inland to the right of the river while flying towards the cave. Your Speeder Bikes will be battling them. There are more tanks, three of them up river and another four on top of the ridge above the cave. They will also need to be eliminated before the Freighter reaches the cave. Leave the Scarabs (for the most part) to the other two wingmen during the mission; they will take out enough of them to keep them off your back as long as you bag a few yourself along the way. By the time your Freighter reaches the cave most Tanks need to be destroyed and you should be left with just a few Scarabs that will continue to appear until the Freighter actually enters the cave and the mission ends.

Bonus Objectives

Bonus Objective 1 - Destroy Dropship before tanks are launched

There are three Dropships in the level. As soon as the level begins hit your boost towards the two Dropships descending on the far side of the Pirate Freighter. Start shooting at the same time and even call in support from your wingmen to take them down quickly. The heavily armored Dropships can take a lot damage so they may take a while to destroy.

Once the first two are destroyed you can go on about the rest of the mission but be on the look out for the third Dropship that will descend towards the end of the mission, by the entrance of the cave. You can probably spot the Dropship towards the middle of the mission but it will be too high to effectively target. There is a ceiling to the level which only lets you fly so high. Keep your eyes open and once the Dropship gets low enough, go take it out. It will descend quickly though. Start looking for it after the Bombers are destroyed.

Bonus Objective 2 - All Pirate Speeder Bikes must survive.

The main thing to remember is to watch where you drop your energy bombs. The Speeder Bikes are down on the ground with the Tanks and if you're not careful you may hit one or some of them. The trick to keeping the Speeder Bikes alive is to eliminate threats before they pose any real problems to the bikes. At the beginning of the mission, after you destroy the two Dropships look for the group of tanks that will converge on the Pirate Freighter. Take them out before they even reach the Freighter and your Speeder Bikes may not even have to fire a shot. Use your sniper view to start whacking at them from a distance.

Once the Pirate Freighter gets going the Speeder Bikes will head inland and follow along down the right side of the river. There they will face a large number of tanks, the only other time they run into trouble. You have obligations to protect the Freighter as it makes its way down the river but if you want to save the Speeder Bikes from harm you'll need to pay them a quick visit. Get a bit of altitude so you won't run the risk of flying through your own explosions as you make your bombing runs on the group of tanks. Use the Triangle button to cycle through the different enemies until the tanks in the area become highlighted.

Bonus Objective 3 - Destroy Recovery Freighter

After the first two Dropships are destroyed, I usually go and attack the Recovery Vehicle found above the terrain right of the river. If you choose to do this, be quick, as your Speeder Bikes will be under fire while protecting the Pirate Freighter. If you were fast enough in destroying the Dropships then you should have enough time to destroy the tanks moving into position on your Freighter before they become a real threat. Again you have to be quick, as the Trade Federation Recovery Freighter will quickly leave the area. Once it crosses the river you have only a minute or so to take it out. Just unload your full payload of energy bombs to blow it up without much of a hassle.

Mission Objectives

Mission Objective 1 - Protect Evac Transports during loading

This is definitely one of the hardest missions in the game. There is a lot you have to do and not a lot of information as to what how and when to do it. No fear though, I've laid it all out for you.

To protect the Evac Transports (and Inferno Turret) all you have to do in a nut shell is blow up anything approaching your base whether it be Scarab, Tank or Bomber, they've all go to go. If they breach the base's perimeter you could get into some serious trouble. This objective lasts for most of the mission. You really have to step up to the plate on this mission and take out enemies as fast as you can and when defending the crater you have to watch out for you own turrets, so you won't destroy them as well.

As soon as the mission starts you'll need to destroy as many of the Scarabs as you can in about 10 seconds because two Dropships are approaching and if they can land and unload their cargo of tanks in the crater, the mission will probably be over shortly. One of your co-pilots will let you know that they are coming. Target the right Dropship within moments of the level starting since it lands first and get your co-pilots and turrets to fire on it by pressing UP on your D-pad. After the first on goes down hit the remaining one with everything you've got and don't forget to have your co-pilots attack it with you. No matter how quickly you attack the Dropships you will cut it close, so get on it!

After the two Dropships are dusted go back to blasting Scarabs until you're called away to save Jenkins. After you deal with the Jenkins thing (you don't actually have to have him survive to beat the mission, only if you're going for gold) come back to the crater and face off against a couple waves of Bombers. Each wave has five Bombers in it. At the same time two of the large Trade Federation Landers will and outside of the perimeter of the Crater and start to unload Tanks. As well, the two final Dropships will appear and will start the descent shortly. What do you do first? If you're going for gold you still need to keep an eye on Jenkins at the same time.

You're going to have to be really quick (use your boost a lot) and take out one thing and then another and leave some enemies to take car of later like the Bombers. If you're going for gold then your first priority should be the Dropships. But you can take care of everything if you're a good enough shot. First eliminate the first wave of Bombers while they are still out by the Landers and still in formation which will make them easy kills. Ignore the next wave. Then while your over the Landers drop some energy bombs on the tanks coming out of them, don't spend more than five or ten seconds doing this. Try to get them as they are just emerging out of the Lander in a big group. It will only take a few energy bombs to kill them all. Once they spread out they become much harder to hit and very dangerous, they can easily take you out as well.

After you drop a few bombs on some tanks go and target the Dropships beyond the Landers. If they start spinning while they descend you have very little time to destroy them. You want to be attacking them before they do this. Stick with the Dropships until they are destroyed and then once they are gone return to defending the base. If they land they will drop off a bunch of AMTs, things you don't particularly need right now.

For the rest of the mission it's all about defending the base perimeter, blasting anything that tries to breach it. However by now the perimeter has been breached by some Tanks or is about to be. Take out the ones inside or near the crater first but always be on the look out for those easy to kill groupings of several tanks as they come out of the Landers. Another wave of Bombers will attack which you must take out. Once their gone and the tanks have been eliminated all you'll have to worry about are single Bombers coming in from the behind the Landers which will attack the launching Pirate Freighter decoys. Take them out while they are still in the distance so they can't unload their payload. Once the decoys launch the Mission Objective will be complete.

Mission Objective 2 - Protect Inferno Turret

Since the Inferno Turret is in the same spot as the Evac Transports, satisfying Mission Objective 1 will also take care of this objective. Once the decoys launch you no longer have to worry about the Inferno Turret.

Mission Objective 3 - Escort Evac Transports

The final Mission Objective is simple; all you have to do is defend the escaping decoy Pirate Freighters. The biggest threat to them are the Bombers that will come in after them. Just be sure to eliminate them from a distance, before they can drop their bombs. Constantly be checking your targets and switching them manually by pressing Triangle to make sure none are sneaking up on you. You don't have to worry about the crater base as much once most of the Freighters are away. Waves of Scarabs will still attack as well so keep an eye out. The mission ends when the last decoy Pirate Freighter gets away.

Bonus Objectives

Bonus Objective 1 - Destroy Dropships before tanks are launched

There are four Dropships to destroy in this mission. To insure that the first two Dropships are destroyed before they can unload their cargo of tanks boost right from the start of the mission, out the opening in the Crater room and target the right Dropship coming in. You may also want to assign your co-pilots to attack the other Dropship to soften it up for you. It will take more than one complete payload of your energy bombs to take it down but persistent use of your lasers on it will help. Be quick with these guys since they come in fast and if they unload even one tank before they are destroyed, you will fail the Bonus Objective.

The two other Dropships can be targeted and destroyed shortly after you help out Jenkins. Keep and eye out for them out past the Landers. A wave of Bombers will attack which is your signal to go and attack the Dropships. Take out a few or the whole wave of Bombers really quickly and then zip out to destroy the Dropships. If they start spinning while they descend you have very little time to destroy them. You want to be attacking them before they do this. Stick with the Dropships until they are destroyed and then once they are gone return to defending the base. Remember that Dropships take a lot to destroy so be sure to give yourself enough time to take them down. Use you brake to help you stay on target for continual blasting.

Bonus Objective 2 - All Decoy Freighters must survive

Basically once the decoy Pirate Freighters launch all you have to do is keep the Bombers off their backs as they escape. Just be sure to eliminate them from a distance, before they can drop their bombs. Constantly be checking your targets and switching them manually by pressing Triangle to make sure none are sneaking up on you. You don't have to worry about the crater base as much once most of the Freighters are away. Waves of Scarabs will still attack as well so keep an eye out. The mission ends and you'll accomplish the second Bonus Objective when the last decoy Pirate Freighter gets away.

Bonus Objective 3 - Escort Jenkins to his freefall

Shortly after you destroy the two Dropships at the beginning of the mission you'll get a message from one of your guys about this guy Jenkins. He's the last of the Speeder Bikes to come in from your little heist of Trade Federation goods using your Pirate Freighter. Unfortunately he's picked up some Scarabs that are bent on getting him. If you can't destroy most of them, Jenkins won't make it and the third Bonus Objective cannot be completed. There are five Scarabs to destroy and are coming in to the right of the Crater's opening if you're inside its perimeter.

Immediately boost out to the group of Scarabs, using your zoom-in sniper view to start hitting them with your lasers. As soon as you're alerted to Jenkins your target will switch to the first Scarab in the group chasing him. You don't need to deal with a big dogfight here, as you go off chasing one Scarab another will takes its place on firing on Jenkins' Speeder Bike. Try to be precise and take out at least one while they are still in formation. Then target the next one that's firing on Jenkins, you actually don't have time to switch targets, just fire at what's in front of you or giving the most threat to Jenkins targeted or not. You may want to assign one of the Scarabs to your co-pilots to take out to give you less to worry about. It's actually kind of hard to see Jenkins since he's so small. Once he gets inside the perimeter of your crater he should be all right but you'll know for sure when your notified that he made it by one of your co-pilots a few moments later. You may want to assign your wingmen to protect Jenkins the rest of the way. By the time Jenkins is entering the crater a group of Bombers should be on their way in but there are also two more Dropships carrying ATMs out there and they are about to land. If you're going for gold in the mission ignore the Bombers and head out and destroy the Dropships.

Mission Objectives

Mission Objective 1 - Destroy Orbital Satellites

This mission is quite a bit easier than the last although it does present its own set of challenges. Mines surround the four Orbital Satellites that help target the massive planetary laser so the long distance attack using your zoom is best to take them out. There are loads and loads of fighters in this mission so whenever you get the chance for an easy kill, take it. In fact the satellites shouldn't even be a concern at first, just stick to the fighters and the two Trade Federation Freighters that quickly appear. Although as soon as the mission starts you'll want to start firing at the closest satellite until some Scarabs fly into range. Then two Freighters will appear.

After you take down the two Freighters resume your attack on the Scarabs in the area. Be sure to watch out for mines. As soon as most of the Scarabs are gone target the closest satellite and start blasting away. Send in a two or three torpedoes so it doesn't take all day and then move on to the next one. By the time the second satellite is destroyed more Scarabs will attack in a swarm. Divert your attention and take out as many as you can so they are no longer a threat. At the same time an armed SuperFreighter will appear coming from the planet. It doesn't automatically get targeted so you'll have to hit the Triangle button to cycle through the available targets to find it. After you take out the SuperFreighter go back to clearing out some of the remaining fighters and then back to satellite blasting.

Target the next closest satellite and blow it to smithereens. With one satellite left expect to see a few more waves of Scarabs attack. You can easily ignore them and finish off the last satellite with your remaining torpedoes and some laser blasts to finish the mission successfully. But if your going for gold and trying to get all the fighters then you'll only want to soften up the satellite and save it for later, after you've gotten all the fighters. Once the last satellite is destroyed the mission will end.

Mission Objective 2 - Destroy escaping Trade Federation Freighters

As soon as the two Freighters appear you'll want to head right out to them and fire away. Use your boost. Your wingman will let you know when they appear and your R2 unit will switch your target to the closest one. They are pretty easy to take down; you don't even need to use you torpedoes. Besides you'll want to save your torpedoes for the heavily shielded Satellites. The Freighters do bit back however. They leave a trail of mines so if you get directly behind one of them you'll be pelted with mine after mine, not good. Attack them from afar and when you are in close range make passes from side to side rather than just getting behind one and firing away.

Bonus Objectives

Bonus Objective 1 - Destroy escaping SuperFreighter

After you have destroyed the first and second satellites some Scarabs will appear along with a SuperFreighter (presumably who launched the Scarabs). It is not automatically targeted so you'll have to do it manually by pressing the Triangle button several times until it appears. Once you've got it in your sites give it everything you got with your lasers, again saving those torpedoes for the remaining two satellites. At the same time Droid Starfighters will appear. Destroy them and then go and take out the next satellite.

Bonus Objective 2 - Destroy all Trade Federation Fighters

The tricky thing about achieving this Bonus Objective is that you have to wait for them all to appear. You may be down to the final few bits of hull on the final satellite and if you haven't gotten the silver medal for destroying all the fighters then they haven't all appeared yet. DO NOT DESTROY THE FINAL SATELLITE UNTIL ALL FIGHTERS ARE DESTROYED and you have received a medal for it. You will want to still put a few shots in on the satellite however to soften it up because the last wave of fighters like to take their time to appear. If you want to get a gold and beat the mission in under seven minutes then you'll have very little time to destroy the final satellite when the last fighter is finally destroyed. Needless to say that once fighters do appear, you'll want to take them out quickly and from a distance but save you remaining torpedoes to finish off the satellite with.

Bonus Objective 3 - Complete mission in under 7 minutes

The trick to beating the mission in under seven minutes is taking out fighters quickly. The next wave won't come until the previous is gone for the most part so to move things along to the point that you can take out the last fighter and final satellite before seven minutes is up you'll need to be precise and fast at shooting down enemies. It is also important to balance out your attacks so that you take out Freighters, then fighters and then a couple satellites, more fighters and then another satellite and then more fighters. Finally you should have saved at least one or two torpedoes for the final satellite to take it out fast enough to finish the mission once the last fighter is destroyed. Even at my best times I was only 20 or 30 seconds under seven minutes making this the toughest Bonus Objective to meet for this mission.
