Mission 15 - Chapel Perilous

Story: The Taiidan defense fleet ambushes you out of hyperspace with a very large surprise.
Difficulty: Moderate
Overview: A simple, short mission that doesn't let you harvest resources, nor give you much time to build additional ships. You only need to destroy the object, a large asteroid, in order to hyperspace to the next mission.
Fleet: Capital ships and stolen ion cannon frigates are your biggest asset in this mission. You should have 12-15 capital ships and at least 30 ion cannon frigates stolen from the previous mission, if you want this to be an easy mission.

Objectives
Though fleet intelligence is pushing you into battle, you do have a few moments in which to organize yourself. There's no time to construct additional capital ships, so you should build your fleet on the previous level. Organize your fleet into two presets and immediately move them to the incoming object's position. The sub-missions are:

Use the build menu to keep your strike craft and small corvettes inside the mothership - you won't need them.

Destroy the Object
Make sure all strike craft and corvettes are safe inside the mothership. Watch the cutscene showing the large "object" headed your way. It's basically an asteroid. Select all your stolen ion cannon frigates and assign them to a single group. Select the rest of your capital ships and assign them to a second group. Turn on the long-range sensors and move both groups toward the incoming Taiidan fleet and the asteroid.
It's not important that you destroy Taiidan ships. Your only goal is to defeat the asteroid. Ignore the first Taiidan fighters and assault frigates. Continue to move both groups until you see the asteroid surrounded by destroyers and missile destroyers. Select both groups and attack the huge asteroid.

Bypass the enemy fleet and concentrate all your firepower on the incoming asteroid.

You should have little trouble destroying the rock, as long as you use each and every capital ship and ion cannon frigate you possess. As soon as the asteroid explodes, you're able to hyperspace to the next mission. Don't hesitate a second. Immediately hit J, and dock quickly to head to the next mission. You likely won't lose too many capital ships nor ion cannon frigates.
