Once you've jumped into the combat area, adjust ELS to 0/50 and target the objective craft, Landing Shuttle 30-3. Shoot one Torpedo at it.

Target the nearest enemy, TIE fighter Alpha. Order you squad-mate to attack this target type. Once they turn and engage the X-Wing Gold, adjust ELS to 100/0. Remember to transfer some energy from shield to cannon. Try to kill these 3 TIE fighters in one head-on run, but if you can't, never mind.

Switch to 0/0 now, and target Landing Shuttle 30-1. Someone should have targeted you, but at this speed, they can do little to you. Quickly identify 30-1 and 30-2. Transfer some energy from shield to cannon, and disable 30-3. It takes 4 double ions, so you should be able to do it in one pass.

Adjust back to your preferred combat ELS. Kill any TIEs that are attacking you. Keep in fight until no one is targeting you.

Now, Landing Craft KDT 4 to 6 should be around you. Identify them and disable KDT 5. Whether or not you wish to use torpedoes is up to you.

Repeat the task for KDT 7 to 9 (KDT 9 is the slave ship), KDT 10 to 12 (KDT 11 is the slave ship) and KDT 13 - 15 (KDT 15 is the slave ship). While doing so, check if anyone is targeting you every 10 seconds. There will be alternating waves of TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors that will come from the ISD and the space station respectively. Once you detected one, kill it head-on first.

After you disabled all slave ships, Assault Transport Tango will arrived. They are very good against TIE Interceptors, so you can free yourself to kill all remaining Landing Craft.

Finally, follow Tango to hyper out, otherwise you will be caught by those TIE Interceptors. They fly at 120 -- just 1 MGLT slower than you, so if you are not up for a fight, it is best to leave the area at once.
