This mission is a bit different from the other Descent 3: Retribution missions. In this level, you need to defend a handful reactors. Apart from level 12, that's the only other Retribution level I can think of which hasn't got a briefing.

Since Moon's Descendarium contains a bit of information about all official Descent 3 missions, there's also something for Retribution level 5 (Red Acropolis Research Facility) (mind the spoiler).

This level can also be played in co-op and anarchy. Because of all the robot generators (matcens) it can also be a lot of fun in robo-anarchy. It is entirely unsuitable for any of the other game types like CTF etc.

When playing the mission in co-op, make sure you have the server operator around. Unlike in single-player mode, the level won't finish automatically when the first player goes outside. The mission has a bug which prevents it from completing automatically. The server operator can connect via remote or server console and warp to the next level once the Red Acropolis level is complete (when players are outside). An in-game host can directly type the command $warp 6 by using the F8 messaging function of Descent 3 to commence the game to the next mission.

Spoiler: It is actually much easier to complete the mission on time than with the described methods. Only worry about reactor 5, which is the one to the right seen from the start room. The others never really get in danger. Block the reactor room and don't let any robots in, sit there and wait until the time has elapsed and you're done. Find the exit on the ceiling next to the start room. The level is complete as soon as you get out.
