Rebel ships in TIE Fighter are always a rough time, and this one includes multiple missions in the worst craft for that patch (B-W). There's definitely some care taken in the design of most of these missions, and you do get thrown a bone and are given a beam in most of the missions, which helps take the edge off, but it's still not something that feels like it should be on the TIE platform.
The last mission is thankfully in a Gunboat (never thought I'd say that before...), but is wildly long and doesn't really feel like the rest of the battle. Would have been better to end on Mission #5. Last mission would make a better free.

Played on easy with full cheats. I don't really like the rebel fighter patch as I find the controls too twitchy. Acceptable missions, read the other reviews so knew to kill the Strike Cruiser quick and I used YOGEME to look up the spawn conditions to know which FG to prioritize to get through the final mission as quick as I could.

This is a very good battle with a solid plot that flows together well and missions that are competently designed and with a fair level of challenge. The final mission is very lengthy but does a splendid job of representing control of an area of space.
My twentieth battle in the TIE Corps.

It started promisingly with nice balanced battles and solid briefings, but the 5th mission brings in an escort mission where no starfighters are launched, but enemy the capships have a crew of hawkeyed gunners, which kill E/S Ominous even when going down. This was most frustrating and only way to complete, for me, was to pack bombs and unlimited ammo and kill the STRKC as fast as you can in less than 10 seconds. This should be corrected, either the distance or the E/Ss pilot skills. The last mission was fun but tiresome, really too long to endure on these crappy rebel fighters.

Description: ------------ BATTLE SUMMARY: Extended range operations against Rebels, pirates and black marketeers transiting between the fringes of the Karana system and the border colonies of the Minos Cluster are the order of the day in this final battle. Mission 1 - The Karana homeworld is ours. But we must round up those planetary denizens who have opposed our will. Some are seeking to flee the system in various craft such as Corellian and Muurian transports. Many are heading toward a mine-infested waystation the pirates, Rebels and Gunrunners have been hanging onto. You must stop the fleeing craft before they reach the station's platforms. Mission 2 - The fleeing people are in irons. Now, for the waystations. The Bismarck and Ark Royal are on their way here to support the Saratoga as its starfighters sweep the mines and subjugate the platforms. Mission 3 - Rebel bombing forces launch a brutal attack on our three capital ships. Our motherships must be defended! All must survive. Mission 4 - We're going after the Rebel enclave that has been shipping B-wings, Y-wings, missiles, torpedos, heavy bombs and heavy rockets to the enemy starships that have been bevediling us. Destroy all freighters, cargo craft, platforms, tugs and transports you find. A crippled frigate is there too. Destroy it! Mission 5 - IW Command Staff members are transitting from the Bismarck to the Saratoga, from which they will embark on a survey trip of the rest of the Karana system to plan further extensions of IW influence in the sector. Your X-wing Black group is escorting the high command Escort Shuttles. Keep them out of trouble. Mission 6 - The final step in establishing total control of the Karana system by the IW. A-wing Silver group will destroy a series of Rebel, pirate and Gunrunner commsats, probes, mines and patrol and scout craft scattered throughout the outer reaches of the system.
