"Mine Racer"

This is the first of four Academy Expert Combat Tactics Missions for the Star Wars X-Wing game. In this mission you will fly an X-Wing in a variation of the original X-Wing Historical Mission 3 - "Destruction of Surveillance Satellites".

This mission is basically the same as it exists in the original game - except for one exceedingly important modification. You will have only one minute to complete this mission. You still have to destroy the two Transports, all sixteen mines, and the five Comm. Sats. But you only have a single minute to accomplish this.

The Mine Racer is not for the faint of heart. It requires superior strategic planning and execution, "dead recon" targeting by eye only - almost no missed shots, a superior sense of timing, an extreme knowledge of and familiarity with energy and weapons management in an X-Wing, and it takes an extreme confidence in your own (and your craft's) abilities.

Here is a listing of all the Xwing medal winners.

  1. You must pass this mission to receive credit toward the "Master of X-wing Combat Tactics" Medal.
