XvT/BoP Imperial Operation: The Fall Begins 3/29/2017
 

This is the 13th set of a total of 20 mission sets/TODs that cover the time from from just before the Battle of Yavin, to after the Fall of the Empire.
 
The set begins to chronicle the events as they unfold in the time frame directly after the Battle of Endor. It has Loyalist Imperial forces trying to defend and collect themselves before the Rebel Alliance (re)takes the Galaxy. You will be assisting the Secret Order, now out in the open, to maintin some semblance of Imperial order in the face of the total collapse of the Empire.
Follow on sets (still to come) continue this tale of woe, as Loyalist forces try to pull themselves together, and maintain some form of cohesion, while striking back at the Alliance, and other disloyal parties, whenever possible.
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder.
 
All missions have been edited for fairness & balance (hopefully!), due the the enhanced AI and weapons effectivness in XvT/BoP. All have new briefings and descriptions. I've added LOTS of radio messages to act as "in game hints" and to further plot lines. Please pay attention to them, as some may save your life or your mission critcal craft.
Also, when possible, other craft in the mission can be selected for Player use, or for multi-player.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Of course, the usual "Notes" and other nonesense.
 
Please note that this mission set =WILL= require one or another of the available Ship/Craft Patchs.

XvT/BoP Alliance Operation: Revolt on Draketh V & Return to Draketh 12/01/2015
 
For XvT -with- BOP add on (both original CD & new GoG version)
 
This package contain 2 sets of 12 mission each, in chronological order.
 
Revolt on Draketh V:
One of the major systems (Draketh V) that the Alliance had hoped would join the Rebellion against the Empre, has just fallen into Civil War. The dissidents that started this dispute are a group of Drakethians who refuse to live by Draketh V's governmental laws. This is a new group with few resources at their disposal; much like the early Rebel Alliance. Known as the Chasekk Directive, this group has begun to attack many vulnerable Alliance convoys in order to obtain supplies and weapons for their own use...
Return to Draketh:
The Alliance, successful in resolving the dispute between Deaketh V and the Chasekk Directive, has now gained the support of the Drakethians. However, the Chasekk Directive (who was secretly working on advanced shield generators during the Draketh V Tour) remains Neutral. They have not yet decided if they will join with the Alliance to Restore the Republic, or the Galactic Empire...
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder. Each set has it's own folder (part 1- drak, part 2- chas) and the lst reflect a chronological order.
 
Most of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added. To get the maximum points, stay 'in mission' until all goals are achieved.
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes! The original readmes for both sets are in their respective folders.
 
Good luck and good flying!

X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, Balance of Power Mission Set
"Headhunter Tour of Duty"
 
The Headhunter Tour of Duty follows the exploits of Bronze Squadron.
 
Bronze Squadron has no permanent base and limited resources. "Living off the land" requires that they have a strong mobile core. The squadron is based around a few Old Republic Dreadnoughts and a variety of captured equipment. While Bronze Squadron has a few modern
fighters, the bulk of its force is made up of older models such as the Y-Wing and Z-95 Headhunters.
Help Bronze Squadron fight the Empire in the Outer Rim.

XvT/BoP Alliance Mission Set: Lost Missions, Part 3 12/18/2015
A New Task Force:
Alliance Intelligence has gathered information about a new Imperial operation. A Star Destroyer is rallying starships together to form an alternate task force against the Alliance. Despite Darth Vader’s opposition to this, the plan is being implemented by the Imperial Admiralty. While the main part of the Imperial Navy focuses on hunting the Alliance elsewhere in the Galaxy, Red Squadron is assisting a small fraction of the Alliance in surviving Imperial attacks, and is carrying the battle to them.

XvT/BoP Imperial Mission Set "Fall of the Empire"
 
(works with original CD version and new GoG version)
 
For XvT w/Bop Addon, or GoG version -no ship patch required
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder.
We have 3 interrelated mission sets, now combined (sort of!) into one, providing a coherent story line.
The 3 sets are broken down as follows (from the original readme, circa 199-something!):
 
=======================================================================
(This tour of duty takes place right after Enemies of the Empire in TF.)
=======================================================================
Fall of the Empire: Part I --
Grand Admiral Thrawn, after crushing the traitorous Admiral Zaarin,
decides to transfers a division of his best pilots from his fleet
to a NL-2. Outpost NL-2 was just constructed in the remote sectors
of the Pakuuni System. Currently the only personnel aboard NL-2 are
a skeleton crew under the command of Commander Gaver.
Grand Admiral Thrawn was also given secondary orders by the Emperor
himself. As Thrawn prepares his fleet for the Unknown Regions, a
battle is raging in another part of the galaxy far, far away...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fall of the Empire: Part II --
It is a dark time for the Empire, with the loss of the second Death Star and of Emperor Palpatine. Thousands upon thousands of worlds are rebelling against the Empire.
Word has spread fast of the Emperor's death, as well as the Alliance's victory at Endor. As seen in the Pakuuni Star Systems, strong Imperial Outposts are being lost.
Imperial Forces in the Outer Rim are being driven back to the Core Worlds. There, the Imperials are reorganizing the Empire before it crumbles to ruins...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fall of the Empire Part III --
It has been several months since the Empire's defeat at Endor,
and already the Empire is loosing its grip on the galaxy.
 
Under the command of new Imperial Leader, Grand Moff Selit, the
Empire may still have a chance at regain its former glory.
However Selit's plans may have to remain on hold. Evidence has been
found showing that the Alliance has secrets of their own...
------------------------------------------------------------
 
Many of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are often used as in-game hints), and various "eye candy" added. The original conversion (XvT/BoP) set required a ship patch to add some of the larger starships; it has been re-edited to use ALL stock craft.

XvT/BoP - Independant Operation: Corbin Resists 10/28/2015
 
(works with original CD versions and new GoG version)
 
The story line:
You are a member of the Corbin Defense Force, a people that is proud, strong, if not haughty. They have refused to join the Empire, and have in such manner been punished by the Empire. Not wanting to seek refuge in the so called Alliance, they have decide to take it up to themselves to pay back the Empire and get revenge for all the lives lost on Corbin V.
 
All missions are in order, and it is up to your honor only to proceed to the next one only after having won the current mission. Of course, they are all fun and can be easily be played out of the story.

The Liberator is an independent operations frigate. It's new tour is a nearly year convoy raiding mission into the Outer Rim Territories.

XvT/BoP Alliance Operation: Prelude To Yavin 10/15/2015

For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD) or the new GoG version
 
This story (a 14 mission set) follows a small Alliance Task Group centered around CRS Nimbus and a secret Rebel Technical Intellegence Group, called the New Alderran Ship Yards (NASY).
NASY is charged with examining and testing Imperial ships "acquired by other means". You'll see references to "H-Wings" or "K-Wings" or others, all of which we all know don't exist (and only appear in a few mission anyway!). That will be explained during the mission, so watch the radio messages.
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balence of Power/Combat folder.
 
All missions have been edited for fairness & balance, due the the enhanced AI and weapons effectivness in XvT/BoP. All have new briefings and descriptions where needed. I've added LOTS of radio messages to act as "in game hints" and to further plot lines.

Alliance Historical Training Missions
 
= For XvT, with BoP add on (REQUIRED!!) =
 
(Works with original XvT/BoP CD and GoG versions)
 
This is a set of 28 Rebel Alliance Historical training missions.
You may recognize them from XW CD or the recently released GoG Win7 XW versions.
They have been converted to run in XvT with the BoP add on, as several things have been modified from their original 1990s release, and several ships required ARE only in the BoP add on (the B-Wing being the most important!).
 
These are to be used/placed into your Balence of Power/Train folder. These ARE training missions, and not (really!) full combat.
 
Many of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added. As there are many items now available in XvT/BoP that were NOT in the original XW CD, I feel this will add to the experience.

XvT/Bop Alliance Mission: Strategic Retreat
 
(works with original CD version and new GoG version)
 
For XvT =w/Bop= Addon, or GoG version (must have the BW availalbe, hence the need for BoP)
From the original readme:
 
This new 12-mission tour of duty for X-Wing pits a fleeing Alliance fleet against persistent Imperial and guerrilla/mercenary pursuers. In this tour you are required to protect convoys, rescue captured personnel, fly emergency missions and strike back hard at enemy battle groups.
 
You get a lot of briefing text in this TOD because there's a story thread to the sequence of missions, just as there should be in any true X-Wing experience. Don't let the "Retreat" title for this TOD mislead you; there's plenty of offense needed to complete these missions.
 
All right, pilots, what are you waiting for?

(works with original CD version and new GoG version)
 
For XvT =w/Bop= Addon, or the new GoG version
 
As the old Republic crumbles, its pieces absorbed into the newer and more powerful Empire...as brave refugees of the remnant governments band together into a desperate Rebel Alliance...as the two forces join in battle after battle for the hearts and souls of the galaxy, more rational minds produce better ideas for taking advantage of the situation.
 
Thieves, murderers, and other criminals -- once guilty in the eyes of the Old Republic -- find freedom in the New Era as pirates preying on Rebel and Imperial alike. Forming their own underground societies and putting into power their own merciless masters, the pirates profit off the chaos and lawlessness allowed by the Galactic Civil War.
 
You are a member of one of these vicious bands. Unwilling to fly for the Imperial governors and unbelieving in the cause of the Alliance, you instead put your valuable piloting skills to use participating in the operations of The Cat Clan. You know that the riches, power, and glory you desire can be best attained as one of these heartless killers...as one of these honorless robbers...as one of these pirates.
