Military Operations
Operation Jade Serpent
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a problem.
An experimental D38/R 'Shadow Walker' Recon Dropship, callsign 'Raptor Two Zero', has dropped off the grid. Raptor Two Zero was conducting field trials of specialized terrain-mapping sensor systems in the Ambria System, which was uninhabited according to numerous fly-bys by scout drones. Was is the operative word here - the drones are showing massive activity around Ambria. Fighters, mostly, with one light cruiser and two corvettes.
We have reason to believe that this force is a group of pirates. The ships are badly outdated and undergunned, and would be little threat to any of CARD's vessels... To a dropship serving as a testbed for new propulsion, stealth, and avionics technologies, however, they are a grave threat. Our last transmission from Raptor Two Zero indicates that he stumbled across the pirates after going into Ambria's atmosphere to test the D38/R's land-mapping LADAR and thermal imaging abilities. They had been hiding in the shadow of one of Ambria's moons, and detected the emissions from the Shadow Walker's engines and launched fighters to intercept.
Raptor Two Zero was unable to shake the fighters, was engaged in Ambria's lower atmosphere, and was subsequently shot down over the Tiernvael Mountains in the planet's northern hemisphere. This area is known for its violent dust storms, and contact with Raptor Two Zero was lost several minutes after it crashed, but not before the pilot reported severe dust and sand storms around the crash site.
The D38/R was brought down less than 3 hours ago, people. There's a chance that the weather has held up and has prevented the hostiles from raiding Raptor Two Zero's crash site, so time is of the essence.
The CNSDF is deploying the Rhodes, the Acheron, the Styx, the Kanrim, and the Mombasa, along with two wings of SSF38 Angelwings.
The Crytek Marine Corps is fielding a company of BAU Assault Walkers and 2 companies of armored infantry.
The CNSDF will clear the space and air above the crash site, then the CMC will secure it. Expect fierce resistance - the pirates won't give up easily on the ground, and we can't risk the use of orbital artillery until Raptor Two Zero and his crew are accounted for.
