Hey,
This is intended to be a night Ops covenant mission, dedicated to filling in some of the blanks of what happened during that period. This mission is only in it's development stage (see the outline below) and is set on the previously covenant mining / shipyard satellite of Pegasi Delta. The Tomography is mostly oceanic with assorted land masses that are inhabitable, to some degree.
Most of the moon's minerals are located in the oceans and thus the facility in question would be over an ocean. It is fairly large and would consist possibly of 4 Sub sections that all feed into a main facility that would probably be about 300 meters X 300 meters (fairly large but about the size of an oil rig.) This facility's subsidiaries would probably house operational systems to the main facility and are about 150m X 150m in shape (each platform is perfectly circular in design).
The facility itself is used to mine deuterium and tritium from the moon's oceans in order to obtain fuel for their ships, which makes it volitile (and thus explosives should be used with caution). I'm wanting to have the environment be tumultuous with serious coastal storms so that there is a constant pattering rain. The Main thing about this mission is to display the horrors of the civil war and express the inner political workings of the many races of the divided covenant. If a Sangheili player wishes to join, they must join as as member of the separatist faction. Feel free to discussion this mission and happy hunting guys!.
Day: 3rd
Month: March
Year: 2553
Location: Moon of Pegasi Delta
Day/Night: Nighttime Operation (Just after Planetary Sunset)
Time: 1800 Hours apx.
Factions: Covenant & Hired Kig-Yar Privateers
Playable: Covenant & Kig-Yar Privateers (Up to 4)
Size: Min: 2 Max: 4
Backstory:
-The Covenant has caught wind of a crushing discovery of betrayal. After many months of decrypting a recovered battlenet from a sunken Covenant Corvette, the Ministry of Inquisition has determined the location of a Covenant mining rig that has been attacked in the Pegasi System. Located on the orbiting moon of Pegasi Delta, the semi aquatic world houses many large oceans that are home to large deposits of materials. These minerals are used to repair, arm, and build ships for the Covenant navy. Due to a freak alignment in the planet’s atmosphere, severe storms have been taking place that result in the jamming of their station’s localized scanners. This allowed the blasphemers to claim one of the main mining facilities 50 km off the coast of the mainland. The Pegasi system is extremely close to Human controlled space, and is effectively a key launching point for attacks on human controlled worlds. Thus, the Prophets have seen it fit to send a strike force composed of some Special Operations (or what remains of the loyalists) and Privateer Kig-Yar that are being paid to assist the cause. -
Plot:
- This initial plan of operation is due to take place in three stages, which are as follows:
Stage 1: Infiltration/Insertion
Stage 2: Removal of Separatist Forces
Stage 3: Reclamation of of the Facility
That being said, this is simply a general outline and is NOT necessarily how events will transpire. The Loyalist Assault team will consist of the following assets. It will be up to the PC players how these assets are allocated and utilized -
Loyalist Assets
X3 Completely armed Phantom Gunships
X4 Banshee class fighters (w/o pilots)
X3 Lances of Loyalist infantry (to complement and operate each gunship)
X1 Commissioned mercenary ships (at most corvette class ships)
Recovered Datafile
\\Reboot\\Battlenet File 38192-321\\Subfile Comms Recording\\
\\Encryption level - Zealot - Deciphered from [Sangheili encryption]\\
[Distress Beacon from CNV - Stout Defiance]
\\Beginning Transmission\\
*Scrambled audio* They’ve boarded the vessel, our ground forces are lost fools! -Scrambled audio- Nedum Je’ketai Aquirai’s forces have taken the facility *scrambled audio* Activate the distress beacon we must inform the high*****
[Transmission End]
The Objectives of this operation is a follows:
Capture and control the mineral foundry on the planet’s surface. Map and location data will be provided to the assault team. - Addendum - If unable to do so, the team is authorized to “salt the earth” and destroy the facility.
Kill or Capture Nedum Je’ketai Aquirai
Destroy the sensory station on the mainland so that a covenant fleet may come and reclaim space superiority without detection.
