Shortly after have passed the L - Point, one of the refugee vessels seems to be infected by the aliens and you witness the spectacle of the whole family succumbing to the infection. You decide to leave in a hurry.

In the instants that follow, the aliens spread through out the Gagarin cluster. Franklyn Hoffer decides a daring plan to save the humanity. He asks all refugees to assemble in Formalhaut, close to the jump accelerato. During this period, space becomes a hive of activity of refugee ships. You come across police who interrogate you, and ships attacking the refugee vessels.

1) In a message, the League will ask you to escort a carrier which they want to use to carry a quantity of antimatter from a base in Batatas.
2) Meet the carrier at the Formalhaut L - Point and escort, to the Batatas system.

4) The convoy will leave under LDS but, halfway, the carrier will hit an LDSi mine and will lose its LDS.
5) Waves of hotile Marauders will attack the convoy.
6) The captain of the carrier announces that he has energy problems. The disrupters have affected all systems on the vessel.
7) Suddenly, the captain will ask for help, he has an emergency because of the deactivation of his main energy feed. The antimatter confinement will collapse in less than one minute!
8) Clay will assist you in providing energy to the vessel.
9) You should dock your vessel to the carrier, this will allow the accumulators of the carrier to stop the deterioration of the antimatter confinement systems. If the system of confinement falls to 0%, the carrier will be destroyed by an immense explosion of antimatter.
10) You should also give the order to your wing to dock themselves to the vessel to increase the field of antimatter confinement.

NOTE:
  No vessel docked = slow decrease of the antimatter confinement;
  one docked vessel = steady confinement (the percentage doesn't vary);
  two docked vessels = slow increase of the confinement;
  three docked vessels = fast increase of the confinement.
11) You will have a difficult choice to make: it is necessary to defend the carrier but also to prevent the fall of the confinement field. You will have to balance between stopping the antimatter confinement field from collapsing and defending against hostiles.
12) You can expect several waves of two or three hostiles to attack. Between waves, you should dock as many of your wing to stop the carrier from exploding.
13) After defeating the waves of hostiles, can you fully restore energy on board the carrier continue on your way...
14) Once you have reached the L - Point. You will/may find the exit blocked by aliens, You need to release the antimatter container casing and send it in direction of the L - Point. When it's close to the L - point, detonate it to eliminate all aliens close by. You can then continue through the Formalhaut L- Point.
