The records of the Ancients begin before the war against the Shivans takes place. The Ancients are in another war against an inferior race called Aesdherians. A young initiate has her first mission and have to scan enemy ships at an Aesdherian rally point.
Hints:
Ancients do not use shield technology, but they have a much stronger hull, however.
Do not underestimate the Aesdherians, although their guns are not very strong, their swarm missiles can kill you very quickly.
Ignore the Crown Destroyer.
The destruction of Hiver wing is a Bonus objective, it is not needed for the mission.
Your wingmen are invurnerable until most of Hiver wing is destroyed.
You can scan the additional Aesdherian fleet for another bonus objective.
If you destroy the escort fighters of the new fleet, too, you perform an extra bonus objective.
If you want to perform the other bonus objectives, i suggest not to do it on insane, because you are alone! It is very hard to perform these objectives on Medium already.
None of the bonus objectives have an effect on debriefing.
You will get a promotion after this mission.

Questions and Feedback in German and English would be appreciated, but is also possible in French, Spanish and Chinese, because my sister is able to read and understand it. But do not expect an answer in the same language.
