In this mission, you'll be controlling Sgt. Thompson of the Icarus 1-2 in assaulting the Federation-controlled space station. Shortly after leaving the transport shuttle, you'll be ambushed by enemy forces. It will be tricky to move in zero-g so find cover and engage the targets. After clearing the first group of enemies, reinforcements will exit from the hatch ahead so don't get caught off-guard. After killing all enemies and on your way to the open hatch, a section of the station will blow, hurtling you away violently. Wait until you hit a part of the station then continue forth. There's also a Rorke File floating nearby.
After getting the intel, continue engaging more targets while making steady progress to the control module. It's the cylindrical room a short distance away from you. After clearing, head to the module and look for the spot where you can plant the charge. After detonation, storm the module and kill all tangos inside during the slow-motion sequence.
After clearing the control module, operate the console to the left to activate the Kinetic Rod targeting controller. After the satellite ordance have been released, you'll have to manually target the incoming Federation forces on the ground. Destroy the first group of ground and air forces marked in your map. After clearing them, hold your fire and wait for the hostile targets to be marked before delivering your ordnance to avoid friendly casualties. After destroying the second wave of targets, more targets will appear behind the fleeing allied forces. Take them out as well. After destroying this wave, wait for a bit and the mission will be complete.
After breaching the command module in the space station, you'll have the capability to send kinetic rods against the Federation forces on the ground. For the first group, wait all ground targets to be highligted then move your cursor to place the impact zones and cover all enemy targets. Next, a train carrying some allies will be coming in so hold your fire. Friendlies on the ground will be highlighted as well as the second wave of enemies. Carefully place your markers to cover all enemy targets and away from allied forces. For the last wave, they'll appear at the rear of your fleeing allies. Kill them all and leave no enemy ground troops alive.
If ever you let at least one enemy unit alive per wave or if you here the allied chatter over the radio to make sure your shots hit the target, restart the checkpoint and try again.
