- Operation Ghost
- April 25th D.E 012
In order to ensure Her ambitions are met, Empress Tsarina issued orders to her Elite Guard to infiltrate the Space Colony Veyron three. On April 25th, a small detachment from the 4th Special Operations group “Iron Clad” sneaks onto the colony in order to steal important documents from the Earth Forces HQ located there. Unknowingly, the Earth Forces Headquarters is broken into from under the facility. Though it is said that they were never seen, many knocked-out witnesses reported their situations, but none were believed until later. En-route to the spaceport, the 14th uses public streets to escape the colony, but as they make their way, they are discovered.
Now on the run from Earth Defense Force security teams, they are forced to call for emergency Exfil from the colony. A Dominion Battleship blows a hole in the colony wall. Four space-fighters are sent into the colony to neutralize any pursuers, but as the situation grows worse, the Dominion Battleship is engaged by the EDF battleships docked at the harbor. The resulting battle would cause many casualties both military and civilian alike, the Dominion Battleship manages to retrieve the 4th and escape intact.
Known as Operation Ghost, the end result of the battle resulted in 34 civilian casualties, 42 EDF security officer casualties, two Dominion fighters lost, one EDF battleship destroyed and about 6 EDF fighters destroyed.
Note: The colony Veyron is located between Earth and Mars, its the Barstow to our Las Vegas. Its population is about 315,000.
