: : At the beginning of Marathon the Pfhor Scoutship materialises beside the
: : Marathon which is in orbit around Tau Ceti. Within seconds it targets and
: : destroys the Mirata.

: But can we trust the chapter screen on this? What to save and throw away?
: The sequence of events resulting in the destruction of the Mirata is
: "one of those puzzling things that we still can't seem to pin
: down."

True, the manual describes the alien ship that attacks the Mirata as a 'fighter' which may not be the same a nearly two kilometers long 'scoutship'. Dennis Keeler, who first noted this inconsistency, also wrote:

"I always pictured this to be a small fighter dispatched to take care of the Mirata, not the huge scout ship. It's probably hiding on the other side of the Marathon and you were too close to the Marathon to see it "warp in" from FTL speed."

The Pfhor's surprise attack on the Marathon was still by a precise FTL stealth jump.

Cheers
