 == Sequence of events ==
+'''Phase 1 - Approach and Defend ''[[StarCitizen:Tranquility]]'':''' In support of the mission and to serve as a forward refuelling, rearming and repairing platform for mission participants the [[StarCitizen:People's Alliance]] have dispatched an [[StarCitizen:Idris]]-class vessel, the ''Tranquility''. Players are to escort the ''Tranquility'' into position and defend it.<ref name="Patch report"/><ref name="PNotes">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/Patch-Notes/21168-Star-Citizen-Alpha-48|text=Star Citizen Alpha 4.8|accessdate=2026-05-18}}</ref>

+| content = '''Phase 2 - Destroy the power relays:''' Reaching the station, players will find that the [[StarCitizen:Shattered Blade]] have installed heavy and heavily shielded anti-capital defenses of [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]] origin in the course of turning the [[StarCitizen:QV Extraction stations|extraction station]] into a stronghold. As these primary defenses cannot be defeated directly, players must circumvent them by disabling or surviving small-target focused secondary defenses and gaining ship-scale internal access to the station's vulnerable interior by destroying exposed power relays, which are specifically hardened against energy weapons.<ref name="Patch report"/><ref name="PNotes"/>
+}}</p>
+<p>{{Spoiler box
+| content = [[File:Trench run.jpg|thumb|right]]'''Phase 3 - Destroy cooling units:''' Following the destruction of the power relays, a gate/gates will resultantly open into large tunnels extending throughout the station. Players must traverse the tunnel while destroying cooling units that are hardened against ballistic weapons in short enough time that ambient distortion damage inside the tunnel will not disable their [[StarCitizen:ship]].<ref name="Patch report"/><ref name="PNotes"/>
+}}</p>
+<p>{{Spoiler box
+| content = '''Phase 4 - Destroy the core and defend ''Tranquility'':''' The destruction of cooling units will cause shutters protecting the station's central core to open. Within this chamber distortion and radiation output increase dramatically, endangering players who enter the chamber even briefly. In the brief time they have available, players must destroy the core that is powering the main defensive systems. Simultaneously, [[StarCitizen:Shattered Blade]] forces will intensify their assault on the ''Tranquility'' outside the station. They must be prevented from succeeding in destroying the ''Tranquility''.<ref name="Patch report"/><ref name="PNotes"/>
+}}</p>
+<p>{{Spoiler box
+| content = '''Phase 5 - Infiltrate and override:''' With the core destroyed main defenses fail and a personally-accessible part of the station becomes exposed. Players must form a ground team and board this section of the station to engage the [[StarCitizen:Shattered Blade]] directly in order to reach and activate an override terminal which will allow the captured [[StarCitizen:People's Alliance]] pilot to escape.<ref name="Patch report"/><ref name="PNotes"/>

-| content = The mission rapidly goes south as forces of the [[StarCitizen:Shattered Blade]] engage the players and an accompanying [[StarCitizen:People's Alliance]] [[StarCitizen:Idris]], the [[StarCitizen:Tranquility]], which is shortly engaged by heavy and heavily shielded anti-capital defenses of [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]] origin that the [[StarCitizen:Shattered Blade]] have installed on the station in the process of turning it into a stronghold.<ref name="Patch report"/>
+| content = After completing these objectives, the greatest, closest enemy of the [[StarCitizen:Shattered Blade]] will arrive to take indiscriminate vengeance for the actions of the outlaw gang. Uncaring of player affiliation, a [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]] [[StarCitizen:Mauler]] and its accompanying fighter escort will arrive to lay waste to all in the vicinity.<ref name="Patch report"/>
-}}{{Spoiler box
-| content = Players must, using ships too small for the anti-capital defences to easily destroy, gain access to the station by destroying key infrastructure while disabling or surviving turret defences more suitable to engaging them, followed by flying inside the station through a tunnel system steadily destroying further infrastructure as they progress. Ultimately they must destroy the inner core powering the station, disabling the anti-capital defences.<ref name="Patch report"/>

-| content = Once power to the station has broadly been disabled, players must then board the station to engage the [[StarCitizen:Shattered Blade]] personally to recover the [[StarCitizen:People's Alliance]] pilot being held hostage.<ref name="Patch report"/>

A [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]] [[StarCitizen:Mauler]] and its accompanying fighter escort will arrive to lay waste to all in the vicinity.<ref name="Patch report"/>
