Walkthrough: This is a hard mission and the average player will probably fail more than 3 times. The key is to play things right and get everything in place when it should be. On average, most players will not be able to neutralize more than 2 of the heavy beam cannons but you should try and get as many as possible.

Helios Bombs are tricky in a sense. They have awesome firepower, but you need to deliver them right. Apon entering the mission, you should try and ignore the Hecate destroyers call for help. They won't be able to offer you and assistance and at best, they will warp out of the area.

Order all of your wingmen to break and attack. They seem pretty useless in going after the gun turrets so its best you let them cover you by shooting down enemy fighters. This leaves you with the flak guns and beam turrets. Ignore the flak for now, your Bakha should be able to take the beating. Target the nearest Beam Turret and start the locking process for your Helios bombs. Once locked, head full speed at the target, just before launching the bombs you should hit your afterburners. The boost should propel your bombs straight to the target. Repeat this with as many turrets as possible.

The second part of this mission is easy. The SD Beleth, a Demon class destroyer warps in. Eliminate the main beam cannon first or the Sobek in the area will get pounded on. Using the Heilos boms, you should be able to make short work of the Beleh.

Well done, mission accomplished.
