Description
The mission of the Guardian Team is to protect the powered down Leopard DropShip along with the Auxiliary Power Units (APU’s). There are 4 APU’s scattered throughout the map, namely Delta, Lambda, Omicron, and Upsilon (these are shown as HUD elements similar to Conquest). These HUD elements will display the state of the APU, either Online or Destroyed. The purpose of the APU’s is to drastically shorten the time required to power up the DropShip. Once the DropShip is powered up and weapons are fully operational, it will become a formidable opponent. Due to the available firepower of the DropShip and turrets, the Guardian Team is one lance short compared to the Marauder Team.
The mission of the Marauder Team is simple; destroy the DropShip, turrets and any available APU’s. It is highly recommended to destroy the APU’s as their destruction increases the time required to power up the DropShip along with doing damage in the process. Destroying the DropShip when powered down is considerably easier as it’s completely defenseless. Destroying all 4 APU's on the battlefield will significantly weaken the DropShip.
Each Auxiliary Power Unit (Delta, Lambda, Omicron, and Upsilon) will have one static defensive structure for protection, namely the Calliope Turret. This turret is powered by the APU and will immediately shutdown in the event the APU is destroyed. The Calliope Turret is armored and pretty accurate when firing its LRMs. It is slightly less efficient when firing its Lasers, but it is still dangerous.
Charts below show the weapon loadout for the turrets and the DropShip, the time required to power up the DropShip as a function of APU destruction, and finally the damage incurred to the DropShip when APU’s are destroyed.
