Arcadia...

A small tropical paradise still in development. Thousands of UNSC resources wasted in an instant just because some Alien assholes decide it'd be a nice idea to come over and burn the planet to hell. Well, not today...

5 days ago Arcadia station detected a slipspace rupture. At first they thought it was just an anomaly. Turns out that little anomaly was two Covenant Battlecruisers. They jumped in on the system but obviously didn't expect any resistance. Well those bastards got what was coming to them. As soon as they jumped in the UNSC Belfast, UNSC Texas, UNSC Pillar of Autumn, and UNSC Armstrong engaged the two ships immediately, catching one of them with its shields down and destroying it.

However the Texas and Belfast were destroyed, the Armstrong was venting atmosphere due to damage, and the Autumn suffered severe damage after the second ship realized what was happening and had turned to engage our ships. Luckily the 'Spirit of Fire' jumped in shortly after and was able to deploy ground forces to help in the evacuation effort.

Soon after, we got the go to jump into the system, which unfortunately was 5 days Slipspace flight away. Once we arrived we saw the extent of the onslaught. The wreaks of the Texas and Belfast were still in orbit. However the Autumn and Armstong had jumped out to make repairs.

Our orders are clear. Assist the 'Spirit of Fire' any way we can and attempt to evacuate all the civilians we can. Now Arcadia has been discovered there is no reason for us to protect the planet, all we can hope to do is keep as many civilians alive as we can and evacuate them to a safer location. We have reason to believe that another Battlecruiser is on the way to assist in glassing the planet once they find what they're looking for on the surface.

They should arrive in the next day or two, meaning that we have to work fast. Our fleet consists of the Frigates 'Honor and Glory' and 'Forlorn Hope', as well as the Marathon Class Cruiser 'Rolling Thunder'. This may seem like a small force, but it was all fleet command could spare at this time. We won't stand much of a chance against another Battlecruiser, but hell we have to try.

All ships have ground personnel prepped to launch down to the Planet's surface. Our main priority is the protection and evacuation of the civilian population. However much we'd like to destroy the Battlecruiser which is already present of the planet's surface, it has deployed most of its troops already and is currently hovering with its shields up over a remote jungle region. It is unknown why its there, but theres not alot we can do at the moment, considering any MAC blast would have disastrous results if it impacted with the planet and any low powered blasts would have no effect what so ever.

All we can hope for, is that we can get as many civilians to safety as possible and hopefully disrupt any other covenant activity on the planet till we get the order to retreat...

Equipment, Support and Objectives

.:Click Image for interactive Map:.

Marines
Primary Objectives

• Land at one of the designated sites and proceed to secure the area if need be.
  [Complete]
  
  
• Once the LZs are locked down, proceed to the main Civilian evacuation zones. These are marked on the map and include:
  
  The Police Station
  The Mall
  The Sports Stadium
  
  There are also a few pockets of Civilian groups all over the city. No doubt a lot will also be locked up inside the apartment and office buildings around the city. Make sure you round up any you find along the way. We must save all the Civilians we can.
  [Complete]
  
  
• Once you regroup at one of the Civilian hot spots, try and maintain calm. Assess the situation and attempt to evacuate them in small groups of 6 to 24. Each group should be supported by at least one squad of Marines. Covenant infantry and armour is crawling all over the city and those civilians won't last 5 seconds unprotected.
  [Complete]
  
  
• The Civilians must be taken to either one of the 4 points around the city located on the map. These sites include the 3 designated LZs you cleared earlier as well as the Spaceport which is also marked on the map. These places should be heavily defended by UNSC personnel and civilian security forces, so they should be safe from the Covenant. In the event that one is compromised, do not try to retake it unless there is no other option.
  [Complete]
  

[/li][li]Now that the Civilians are evacuated, assist the ODSTs in destroying the AA cover around the ONI building and clearing the area for the evacuation of the VIPs.
[In Progress]
[/color][/li][/ul]
Secondary Objectives

• Arm the Civilians. You can request weapons drops for the Fleet or use any weapons from the Police Station or Mall. There will not be enough to arm weapons or time to arm everyone and bare in mind to be careful who you arm. We don't want any unnecessary casualties.
  [Complete]
  
  
• There is a main Garage in the city. The vehicles there will be valuable to evacuating the Civilians. Just remember that you may be more vulnerable in the vehicles than on foot, as one lucky shot from a fuel rod cannon or a wraith will most likely kill everyone in the vehicle if it is hit.
  [Complete]
  

ODSTs
Primary Objectives

• Drop into the city via HEV.
  [Complete]
  
  
• Proceed to the ONI building. There are high ranking VIPs there who are pinned down by Covenant forces. These VIPs are vital none can be killed or captured.

[/li][li]Assist the ONI personnel in securing the area around the ONI building. If this is not a viable option, move on to the next objective.
[Objective Aborted][/color]

[/li][li]Plant charges around the building, making sure to rig the main computer server to explode. The building itself is of no importance, however the archives and any other valuable objects or intelligence must be destroyed so that the Covenant cannot recover any vital information from it.
