The first waves are fairly weak, and can be handled by the Dominion and Defender of Man defenses as well as Nova and the siege tanks and liberators the player starts with. The bonus objective of the level involves keeping a building near the frontlines alive, essentially requiring that the front-center lane of defenses not be overrun. While initially they will only come through three lanes, four more will open up as the level progresses, two on each side. This mission is a defensive mission, where the Tal'darim will attack down set lanes. Nova and her crew then boarded the Griffin and began to hunt her down.

However, the Dominion defenses held, and the Tal'darim invasion force was defeated.ĭuring the chaos of the battle, General Davis was able to escape aboard the Medusa. At several points in the battle, First Ascendant Ji'nara arrived using a Tal'darim mothership, attempting to break the line of the Dominion. Soon the Dominion Fleet arrived, and Gorgon-class battlecruisers began to reinforce the Dominion position. Reigel noted that if the Defenders of Man line fell, the city's science facility would also fall, and they were on the verge of a breakthrough. Nova reinforced the Dominion and Defender's positions and began to weather the Tal'darim onslaught. Admiral Horner stated that the Dominion Fleet was arriving to reinforce their ranks, but it would take time for them to arrive. The lower ranked Defenders of Man forces also came to the aid of the Dominion, stating they were unaware of the agenda of Davis. Nova's forces began to mount a defense against the Death Fleet, with the aid of forces under Admiral Matt Horner. Highlord Alarak and Agent Nova Terra ( src)
