"It's on principle, Hitman 3, if the rebels can steal a battleship, think about how that makes the rest of the Feds in-region look."

― AWACS Galaxy

"Eminent Domain" is the seventh mission of Project Wingman. The player, flying with Comic, protects the captured battleship Eminent Domain from sea and air threats.

Objectives

The player must destroy various naval and air targets. There are six F/E-18s, and two F/C-16s, F/E-4s and MG-29s each, along with two FC-8s that spawn above the cloud cover. Enemy ships consist of several railgun littoral combat ships and cruisers. After all targets are destroyed, the Eminent Domain and escort ships appear, along with more targets: LCSes, cruisers and PT boats, and four Sk.30s and eight Sk.25Us that will attempt to swarm the friendly ships.

After the second set of targets is destroyed, ten cruise missiles enter the map from the southeast, escorted by four MG-31s. The cruise missiles will take evasive action against incoming air-to-air missiles. Shooting down all missiles completes the mission.

Mercenary difficulty

The enemy ships and fighters are more numerous in the second and third phases.

Trivia

Captain Bouray's ultimatum to the Eminent Domain in the second phase of the mission mirrors AWACS Magic's ultimatum to the Admiral Nevzorov, the last enemy ship from Ace Combat: Assault Horizon's Hostile Fleet level.
