Mission 4 – The Invasion of Rockland

In our dark day of wondering,
He gave us Hidden Hope;
Our sacred duty calls us to return.
As our Father told us,
And his father before him.
Ours is the redemption of the Universe;
Ours is the paradise of Terra
Ours is the war of liberation.
-- The Remembrance, Passage 204, Verse 6, Lines 2-9

We have won the right to take Rockland. Our Comstar representative has informed me that there is quite a force on this planet. According to him, a full regiment is stationed on planet; possibly more. I can only think of the great glory there is to have in taking this world from them. There is an ancient Star League base that these surats have reinforced, let us relieve them of this treasure. Remember, they do not have the guidance of our father.

I have decided to give your force the honor of taking the star port. Do not disappoint me. The configurations I have given your unit should be more than enough to take the port. Additionally we must have the control tower intact. Leave this task to our Elementals.

I am sending in our fighters to take out the static defenses at the port. They will be available if you need their assistance, but I doubt you will. One recon photo was taken you will find it attached. Be aware of your objectives and try to not destroy the star port. It will serve our clan more with minimal damage.

Update: Expect mixed ‘Mechs and vehicles. While taking out the turrets defending the Star Port, our fighters spotted a lance of ‘Mechs and a few VTOLS holding the base. One stray shot hit an ammo dump, so be on watch for the ammunition scattered about. It is unprotected and could easily explode taking out anything in the vicinity.

Primary Objective: Secure Star Port for the Drop Ship landing. Sweep Star Port and eliminate all opposition port defenders. There is a 30 Turn time limit.

Secondary Objective: Deliver 1 full unscathed star of Elementals to take the control tower and administration buildings. There is a 15 Turn time limit.

Secondary Objective: Eliminate any reinforcements.

Additional Assets: Two Batu OmniFighters. Each is on patrol and is available for 2 strafes. If you call for a strafe you must call for it 1 turn ahead. Per fighter strafe the entire unit will lose 1/4 honor.
