XvT/BoP: Independant Operation: A Pirate Dawn 10/20/2015
 
(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.
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes!
 
Good luck and good flying!

XvT/BoP - Imperial Operation: Heading to the Unknown
 
For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD) or the newer GoG version
 
Grand Admiral Thrawn, after crushing the traitorous Admiral Zaarin, and
his defecting officers, was ordered by the Emperor himself to enter
the Gammanck Regions at the far eastern arm of the galaxy, far from Coruscant, at the edge of the Unknown Region. Grand Admiral Thrawn assembled his fleet at the Rneekii systems, because Rneekiis had been moving their people, leaving the Outer Rim Territories to fortify themselves far from Imperial interference, and because they boardered the Gammanck, no one knows better the entrance than them.
 
Sometime before the "Enemies of the Empire", the Emperor sent Admiral
Bulcon and a small force to bring Imperial control to this Unknown
Gammanck Region, but he never reported back. Grand Admiral Thrawn was sent to rescue Bulcon and his fleet if he is yet alive.

XvT-BoP Alliance Classic XW Tours of Duty
 
For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD) or the new GoG version
 
These are all 5 of the Original XWCD tours converted for use in the XvT/BoP environment.
These are usable in the original XVT/BoP CD or the new GoG version.
 
Many of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added. Some of the ships have been changed in a few of the missions to keep more in line with the visuals in the movies (read: Medium Transports).
 
Be Advised: there are 2 missions un-convertable to XvT. These are the 2 Death Star missions (Surface Attack and Trench Run), as no OPT exists for them for XvT useage.

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?

XvT/BoP Alliance Operation "Battles in the Outer Rim Territories"
 
For XvT =WITH= BoP addon (original CD) or the new GoG version
 
ORT provides over eighty new missions over five new tours of duty. The timeline is from approximately Hoth to the Battle of Endor (sorry, on 2nd Death Star runs, but the aftermath of), and into the post-Imperial era, and the formation of the New Republic.
 
These have been converted for use in XvT/BoP, in BoP format due to the need for BWs and other ships only available there. All stock ships are used, so no ship patch is requried (other than having the BoP addon if using the XWCD. The new GoG versions already have what's needed).
In many of the missions, you'll be able to fly more than one flight of starfighter. In later missions, (post-Hoth) CM pods have been pre-loaded.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Also, the original builders and my notes at the bottom! The large(ish) description, from the original 1990s readme, is located at the bottom of this document.

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.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes!

original mission set, for TFCD, created by Zacchaeus Garcia.

Imperial Historical Training Missions
 
= For XvT, with BoP add on (REQUIRED!!) =
 
(Works with original XvT/BoP CD and GoG versions)
 
This is a set of 20 Imperial "Historical" training missions.
You may recognize them from TIE Fighter CD or the recently released GoG Win7 TF versions. It should also be noted, several of these DO already exist (in some form or another) in the Stock XvT/BoP Training missions.
 
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!).
Also, there are =NO= missions that use the TIE Defender or Missile Boat. These HAVE been converted, but are not included until we can be sure a ship patch will work on the new GoG version. When (and if) that happens, those 8 missions will be released as an add-on to these.
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balence of Power/Train folder. As 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. I've tried, as much as possible, to keep the "feel" of the originals.
 
As always, PLEASE read this enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. Give the "Note" section a read too, for well, notes!

XvT-BoP Mission Pak - Rebel Operation: Wolf Pack
 
*Note: these missions have been converted to BoP format. This is required, due to some of the ships needed for them are NOT in "standard" XvT. No ship patch or other mods are needed*
 
This is an 11 mission campaign for Xwing vs Tie fighter.
 
Introduction:
Green Squadron flees the destruction of the Rebel Base at Hoth to the Sigma sector to raid Imperial shipping. Here it is hoped they can regroup, refit, contact other fleeing Rebel forces, and continue the Fight for Freedom in the Galaxy.
This sector of the Empire is far removed from the front lines. This should be an easy (read: safe) hunting ground.
Many of these missions have additional goals, messages (which are sometimes used as in-game hints), and "eye candy" added.
