Twelve fighters and three bombers a side. Lose your carrier and you lose the battle.
You're strapped into a stealth fighter on the hangar deck of the Meridian. Across the field, the Ashfall is launching everything it has. Lost ships come back from the hangar, so it all comes down to the carriers. Keep their bombers off yours, and get yours through to theirs.
