... one moment...
Location:Planet Agethol
Hooded Crusader Facility
This small but heavily fortified outpost houses the planet's defense laser system. While it is operational, the array can destroy any spaceships that get too close to the planet. The Hooded Crusaders have been using the facility on Agethol as a base from which to disrupt important shipping lines that pass near to the planet. This has caused massive delays in the shipment of vital supplies from Minagalcia to its allies. A Minagalcian battlegroup consisting of two battleships and several light cruisers attempted to destroy the array from orbit, but were unsuccessful and suffered heavy damage. With the possibility of a full scale invasion off the table, a small strike team of Minagalcian and Han Khan troops is shuttled down to the planet's surface undetected during the small window of time during which the defense array cannons are cycling power. Their objective: capture or destroy the defense array so that an invasion of the planet can begin. However, they will not be unopposed in their mission
Defenses: The facility is heavily guarded, and only accessible by crossing a narrow bridge
Although this facility is typically overseen by allied security forces and not the crusaders themselves, today is an exception, as Crusader Duncan leads a team of soldiers into the small facility.
Security Captain: It's good to see you sir. our defenses are in working order
Crusader Duncan: Yes, but this is no time for small talk captain. My spies have informed me that a detachment of enemy soldiers is coming to take this base. We've discovered the landing sight of their craft, and it appears that they are moving West towards this installation.
Security Captain: I see
Crusader Duncan: See to the defense of this facility Captain. I will bolster your forces with my own guard, but we cannot expect any reinforcements. We will have to use the layout of this outpost to our advantage.
Security Captain: Yes Sir! My men are at your command. They will begin taking up defensive positions around the base right away.
Crusader Duncan: Gooooood.
The two men watch as the base is prepared for battle. They know this will be a costly ordeal, but an eminently survivable one, should they be victorious.
Not far away, A small platoon of Han Khan marines and Minagalcian commandos prepares for their assault upon the outpost. Millions of lives could hang in the balance. Each one of them has trained years for this mission. Not one among them is unready to sacrifice themselves for the cause. They will capture this facility or die trying.
