Mission 1: Political Escort

Political Escort is the first starfighter combat scenario written for the X-Wing Miniatures Game and published as a rules supplement in the X-Wing Miniatures Game: Core Set.

Plot summary
''En route from Dantooine, a Rebel senator's fleet was ambushed by the Empire and nearly wiped out. The senator himself escaped in a shuttle, but a stray blast knocked out his ship's hyperdrive and sensors. Utterly reliant on his escort, the Rebel Senator can do little more than go straight forward and hope he reaches the outskirts of a friendly system soon. Unfortunately, the Imperial fleet has already dispatched fighters to round up the survivors. Now, the Rebel escort must protect the Senator until he can reach safety, but the Imperials won't make it easy for them…''

Mission Objectives
The senator's shuttle must flee off the Imperial side of the combat area for a Rebel victory. The Imperials are victorious if the senator's shuttle is destroyed.
