Clouds of stone pose a significant threat. Naraka Gate and its repair bay looms in the distance but the path ahead tests the Khar-Kushan.
After passing through the Trinity Gate, the Khar-Kushan and her fleet suddenly find themselves in a violent asteroid field and risk getting crushed by the rock.
Overview[]
Get the fleet safely through the asteroid field using larger stationary rocks as cover, capturing a couple of abandoned Incarnate carriers along the way.

None
Strategy[]
This can be a very dangerous mission if you're not careful. When you first enter the map, don't move. Your fleet is fairly well protected in the very starting position so you don't need to rush.
The layout of the mission based on the orientation of the Khar-Kushan at the time of mission start is the following:
- Large asteroids are flying across the map starting from the port (left) side of the Mothership and crossing in a relatively horizontal path. A direct hit from one of these rocks will notably damage the Khar-Kushan and instantly kill anything smaller.
- Ships will automatically fire on rocks that get close and destroy them, but the debris from that rock will still persist for a few seconds and can damage ships it passes through.
- There are larger rocks that don't move which can act as protective walls as you progress.
Getting through the area is fairly straightforward. Getting through the area without taking significant ship losses is the harder part.
First, make sure the Mothership is in a horizontal layout and stays that way for the entire mission. You want it and your fleet in the narrowest horizontal profile possible so most rocks will simply miss. Second, take all of your Railgun Corvettes and arrange them in a rather flat pattern like Trail, and have them guard a ship on the far left side of your default Military Parade fleet layout. Their long range and quick reactions will be extremely effective in destroying rocks from a safe distance.
Then, move the Mothership from safe point to safe point, giving time for your Support Frigates to repair anything that got damaged before you move out of cover.
When you get to the first area of cover you will detect the first of two Incarnate Carriers that you need to salvage. From the first cover point it's still a significant distance from the Mothership to the wreck through open area that has asteroids flying through it, so wait until you move your fleet behind one of the closer safe zones before attempting the salvage.
When you're about halfway to the escape point you'll detect the second carrier, salvage it as well.
Continue moving your fleet through the field, using the larger rocks as cover. Once you collect both Carriers and get the Mothership to the end point, the mission is complete.
