All missions have a time limit of 15:00, which counts down in the upper right hand corner.

Chapter 1 Mission A[]

An easy mission, meant to let the player get used to the combat system. Milfie, Ranpha and Forte will win this battle handily even if you don't touch the controls, thanks to good pilot bonuses (even if you chose "run away").

Reinforcements appear at 13:30 (2 ships) and 12:40 (4 ships), but they die just as quickly as the others.

Chapter 1 Mission B[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy enemy flagship
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames	Cruiser Destroyer x 2	Rezom's Battleship Cruiser x 4 Destroyer x 7

This is the first of several flagship missions. Simply clearing these missions is easy - just send all Emblem Frames to attack the flagship. Therefore I will assume the player is aiming to completely destroy the enemy fleet.

If Tact delayed accepting command from Luft (boosting the trust of Milfie and Mint), then Milfie has partner-level bonuses. Have the other Emblem Frames handle ships approaching the Elsior while Lucky Star cleans house.

If Tact accepted command immediately (boosting the trust of Ranpha, Forte and Vanilla), then the team is fairly balanced. Split the Emblem Frames among the three corridors and watch them chew throught the enemy fleet.

Chapter 2 Mission A[]

Victory Conditions	Destroy all enemies
Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
Units
Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames except Lucky Star		Cruiser x 3 Destroyer x 4

Chapters 2-6 each focus on a specific heroine, allowing that heroine to reach partner-level bonuses for that chapter (assuming the player doesn't make mistakes), while other heroines' bonuses are quite limited. Unfortunately, Milfie, the chapter 2 heroine, isn't available in this mission, so the player must make do with less powerful units. Fortunately, this mission is still relatively easy - cruisers and destroyers pose no real threat. Ranpha may need Harvester's repair abilities if she gets too far ahead, but that's about it.

Chapter 2 Mission B[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy all enemies
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames		Rezom's Carrier Ship Cruiser x 3 Destroyer x 5

Zarm class Carrier--but in this mission, it does not launch any fighters.
HP	50000	Energy	-
Top Speed	E	Range	B
Acceleration	E	Attack	B
Turning	D	Armor	A
Fuel	S	Evasion	E

Assuming the player didn't mess up with Milfie, the Lucky Star can take on Rezom's southern force solo. The other emblem frames will automatically clean up the few northern ships, so they can be safely ignored.

This mission introduces the carrier ship. Despite the name, it does not launch any fighters. It is by far the slowest and toughest ship encountered in the early missions. Emblem Frames making their initial attack run on a carrier ship will not avoid its initial barrage of missiles and will take decent damge, so it is generally not advised to solo them with Ranpha.

Chapter 3 Mission A[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy either enemy fighter
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel Lucky Star Kung-fu Fighter		Highspeed Fighter x 2

This mission should pose no problem; just take out either of the enemies to clear. Without their Dark Angel upgrades, the Hell Hounds are no match for our heroines.

Chapter 3 Mission B[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy all enemies
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames		Missile Ship x 3 Cruiser x 4 Destroyer x 5

Gezel
Gezel class Missile Frigate.
HP	40000	Energy	-
Top Speed	D	Range	A

This chapter is Ranpha's chance to shine. Take the Elsior into the southwest corner as in the mission briefing, with slow-moving Trick Master and Lucky Trigger for protection, while Kung-Fu Fighter cleans house. Make sure Harvester follows in case Kung-Fu Fighter needs repairs. Lucky Star (and possibly Trick Master) can help with enemies on the other side from Kung-Fu Fighter.

The Missile Ships are introduced in this mission. They have a pretty long missile range, but its fairly easy to take them out long before they get close enough to Elsior.

Chapter 4 Mission A[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	If "prioritize rescuing the merchant fleet" is chosen: Merchant ships reach the marked area, or destroy all enemies If "put Elsior's safety first" is chosen: Destroy all enemies
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames		Cruiser x 5 Destroyer x 4	Merchant Ship x 5

If you choose to prioritize rescue of the merchant fleet, this mission is pretty easy. Most of the ships will go after the merchants, who head along the north edge of the map towards the far corner. Kung-Fu Fighter and/or Lucky Star can easily reach them in time to win with no damage to the merchant fleet.

If you choose to prioritize the Elsior's own safety, then it becomes much harder to protect the merchants so that they take no damage. They head across the center of the map, so at top speed Kung-Fu Fighter can barely reach the lead enemy in time to destroy it before it can fire. I imagine sending both Kung-Fu Fighter and Lucky Star could manage it, but this is unconfirmed since after the first two or three tries I went back to the "prioritize rescuing merchant fleet" choice.

Note that even if all the merchants get destroyed, you can still "clear" the mission. I don't consider this a real win, but if for some reason you're desperate (or you just don't like merchants)...

Chapter 4 Mission B[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy the Hell Hounds squadron
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames		Highspeed Fighter x 5 Carrier Ship x 2 Missile Ship x 4

A fairly straightforward mission. If you're just aiming to clear, the Hell Hounds' fighters should be no match for the Emblem Frames, especially if Mint gets a Flyer Dance in. If you want to take out the enemy ships, send Happy Trigger (who has trouble keeping up with the fighters anyways) along with Harvester and optionally Kung-Fu Fighter or Lucky Star (make sure not to send Kung-Fu Fighter against the carrier ship). Have Trick Master and whoever else is left behind guard Elsior. Should be an easy mission.

Chapter 5 Mission A[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy all enemies
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian

This mission introduces the Battlecruiser, the most dangerous enemy ship in the game due to its high speed and firepower. If it is not taken out early, it will catch up to and destroy the Elsior in short order.

Unfortunately, it is also the flagship of this mission, so destroying it ends the mission early. On top of that all the pilots are set to low level regardless of trust for this mission, so taking out the entire enemy fleet before Sherry destroys the Elsior is practically impossible. If you somehow do manage it, please let me know.

Chapter 5 Mission B[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Elle Ciel reaches the marked area, or destroy all enemies
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames		Sherry's Battlecruiser Highspeed Frigate x 4 Carrier Ship Battleship Missile Ship x 2 Cruiser x 6 Destroyer x 3

This mission sports more enemy ships than any other mission (tied with 10-A), and is the hardest of all the early missions. There are two routes you can take: The central route proposed in the briefing, or around the southeast corner.

Central route: Take out Sherry's battlecruiser first; do not let it reach the Elsior. Have your remaining fighters attack anything that comes near the Elsior in order of nearness, making sure to cover both front and rear.

Southeastern route: Take out Sherry's battlecruiser first; do not let it reach the Elsior. I recommend multiple fighters for this. Follow up by destroying the surrounding frigates and destroyers; the northern force can then be taken out at the player's leisure. The Elsior will take significant damage on this route, but it is overall the safer one (assuming Sherry's Battlecruiser is taken out immediately).

Chapter 6 Mission[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	If "teach Eonia's forces a lesson" is chosen: Destroy the enemy flagship. If "protecting the Elsior is most important" is chosen: Destroy all enemies
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames	Cruiser x 3	Carrier Ship x 1 Battleship x 2 Missile Ship x 2 Cruiser x 3 Destroyer x 10

This battle should be pretty easy after the last two. Let the Elsior stay back while the Emblem Frames methodically destroy all enemies. Since this is Vanilla's chapter, Harvester's Repair Wave should be useable fairly often. If for some reason you find it difficult, simply pick "teach Eonia's forces a lesson" and mob the carrier ship for the win.

If "protecting the Elsior is most important" is chosen, then both enemy and allied reinforcements will appear during the mission.

Chapter 7 Mission[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Passenger ships reach the marked area, or destroy all enemies.
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames	Battleship x 1 Cruiser x 2	Dark Angel x 5 Highspeed Frigate x 2 Carrier Ship x 1 Missile Ship x 4 + reinforcements	Passenger x 4 Cargo x 1
Chapter	7

Interestingly, the cargo ship is displayed green like allied ships, but it cannot be given orders.

From this mission onwards, Tact's Partner (chosen in the story part of this chapter) plays the leading role. With maxed bonuses, she can generally take on an entire enemy fleet with no problems.

If you want to protect the passenger ships full of civilians, immediately send Kung-Fu Fighter and/or Lucky Star to take out the right-most pair of missile ships. Aside from that, simply have Elsior play rearguard to the passenger ships while Tact's Partner cleans house. As long as Elsior guards the last passenger ship, enemies will attack the Elsior first, where the Emblem Frames guarding the Elsior can keep them busy. The remaining missile ships and the northeast reinforcements can be held back by the allied battleship and whoever took out the first missile ships.

Chapter 8 Mission A[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy the enemy assault satellite.
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames	Battleship x 2	Assault Satellite x 1 Highspeed Frigate x 5 Missile Ship x 5 Cruiser x 2 Destroyer x 4
Chapter	8-A

This mission introduces the assault satellite, a stationary "ship" with high armor and damage. In particular, its anti-ship laser (range 10,000) is very dangerous to the Elsior. Fortunately, since it never moves it's not dangerous as long as you keep your distance.

Most of the enemy ships will come straight at you, but the missile ships will stay around the satellite and defend it. The group has quite a bit of combined firepower, so it's best to go in as a group and make sure the first one in is someone who can take the heat (i.e. not Ranpha).

If you like, you can just have Tact's Partner destroy the enemy fleet while the other ships protect the Elsior. If you want to solo the satellite's group, though, make sure Harvester follows for repairs.

Chapter 8 Mission B[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy all enemy assault satellites.
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames (winged)		Assault Satellite x 8 Highspeed Frigate x 5 Carrier Ship x 2
Chapter	8-B

This mission is the first appearance of the powered-up Emblem Frames, and as a bonus the heroines all have level 3 bonuses (level 4 for Tact's Partner). Don't get reckless, and this mission should not be difficult.

Start by taking out the enemy frigates, then move on to the front-most satellite. The carrier ships should near that position at the same time you do, so be careful. Once that satellite and the carrier ships are gone, you can make your rounds of the other satellites.

The satellites are individually defeatable, but they're powerful enough that soloing them consecutively is taxing even for the powered up Emblem Frames. Take them in a group, keep Harvester on constant repair duty, and you shouldn't have problems. If you have problems with the time limit, then whenever Tact's Partner has her final available use it to 1HKO the next satellite. (If the Partner is Ranpha, make sure Vanilla follows with a repair order!)

Chapter 9 Mission[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy enemy flagship.
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames		Sherry's Battlecruiser Highspeed Frigate x 5 Dark Angel x 5 + reinforcements
Chapter	9
Route	Common

The Emblem Frames return to their non-powered-up versions for this mission only. Fortunately this is a flagship mission, so if worst comes to worst just aim for the flagship.

Send Elsior to the southwest corner. It may appear that the northwest corridor provides safe haven, but it's actually the location enemy reinforcements appear, so it's best not to head there.

Other than that, it's a fairly straightforward battle. Take out the approaching fighters, then the frigates, then the flagship. Tact's Partner will be your primary source of damage. If you want, you can send Lucky Star and/or Kung-fu Fighter to clear the reinforcements (a cruiser and 3 destroyers). If Sherry's battlecruiser gets too close to Elsior, you'll need to take it out immediately.

Chapter 9 (Forte) Mission A[]

	Victory Conditions	Destroy all enemies.
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames		Sherry's Battlecruiser Assault Satellite+ Highspeed Frigate x 5 Dark Angel x 5
Chapter	9A
Route	Forte

Unlike the other Angels, on Forte's route you have to fight two back-to-back battles in Chapter 9, instead of just one.

In the first mission, Forte has to clear out an assault satellite covering a narrow pass so the Elsior can escape through it. This satellite is significantly stronger than the previous ones; in fact, it's the same as the ones on the final level. It's still no match for Forte, however.

At the start, immediately have the Elsior move towards the exit while Forte attacks either of the enemies to charge up her spirit. Once that's done, kill the satellite with a Strike Burst.

Most of the enemies will content themselves with fighting the Angels doing the rearguard, but Sherry will come straight at the Elsior, as usual. Have Forte use the frigate to refill her spirit meter and then take Sherry out with another Strike Burst. After that, you can proceed straight for the objective, or double back and destroy the remaining enemies.

Keep an eye on Milfeulle; the four highspeed frigates like to gang up on her, and if she goes down Camus and the frigates will likely go after the Elsior.

Chapter 9 (Forte) Mission B[]

	Victory Conditions	Destroy all enemies.
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames		Sherry's Battlecruiser Missile Ship Highspeed Frigate x 4 Dark Angel x 5
Chapter	9B
Route	Forte

Sherry and the Hell Hounds are still stubbornly coming after you, so you have to kill them again.

Despite what the briefing says, there's no need to detach Vanilla to help Forte; she's just as strong as she was on the previous level while the enemies are far weaker. Move the Elsior up the pass to put some distance between you and the pursuers while Forte mops up the enemies in front, then have her double back to finish of the remaining enemies.

If Sherry corners the Elsior, you still have a small chance of surviving by charging her and getting beside her where she can't hit you. The Elsior will still take ruinous damage, but won't be destroyed outright if you're lucky.

Chapter 10 Mission A[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy all enemies.
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames (winged)		Eonia's Flagship Dark Angel x 5 Mothership x 6 Highspeed Frigate x 3 Missile Ship x 3
Chapter	10-A

A fairly straightforward, if somewhat difficult, battle. Destroy each group of enemies in order, repairing as necessary. The faster ships (dark angels, frigates, missile ships) should be no problem.

Do not let Eonia's flagship approach Elsior. Fortunately, it's fairly slow, almost as slow as the carrier ships. Once the faster ships have been taken out, focus all your firepower on the flagship.

The carrier ships will pose a problem due to their numbers and toughness. Focus them down one at a time. Be on constant watch, ready to give repair / supply orders at a moment's notice; it is not unusual to see half of even Happy Trigger's HP disappear in one volley.

Chapter 10 Mission B[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Destroy all enemies.
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames (winged)		Dark Angel x 5 (winged)
Chapter	10-B

Take the enemy fighters 1v1; if any of them are ignored they'll head straight for Elsior. The powered up dark angels are nearly a match for our powered up heroines, so use your final attacks as soon as they come available. Harvester doesn't have a final attack, but she doesn't take much damage, so you can simply let whoever finishes off their own opponent help her.

I recommend switching around the order so that Kung-fu Fighter's attack target is next to Harvester's, in case Ranpha needs repairs.

Warning: Trick Master and Happy Trigger, if left to their own devices, will fly too far past their opponents and be unable to catch up to them and stop them from reaching Elsior. You must reissue their attack commands the moment they pass their opponents.

Chapter 11 Mission[]

no map available	Victory Conditions	Elsior reaches the marked area, or destroy all enemies.
	Defeat Conditions	Elle Ciel destroyed
	Units
	Angel Troupe	Allied	Enemy	Civilian
	Elle Ciel All Emblem Frames (winged)	+ reinforcements	Assault Satellite x 16 (upgraded) + reinforcements
Chapter	11

The only satellites you actually need to destroy are the ones close to the Elsior's route (8 for the default route). Of course, you can still take out the others if you like.

As Rester points out these new satellites are pretty dangerous; but take them one at a time as a group, and they shouldn't be a problem. Don't forget repairs.

Flyer Dance and Strike Burst can one-shot these satellites; be sure to make use of them. If Milfie is Tact's partner, so can Hyper Cannon.

Midway through the battle, an enemy reinforcement fleet will appear, and will be intercepted by Luft's reinforcements. They can be safely ignored as long as the Elsior keeps moving. If satellite clearing is going slow and the Elsior has to hold position, then you'll need to send one of the Emblem Frames to guard Elsior's rear.
