Hammerfall: Operation Dented Shield Mission Briefing (April-May 2015 ITOD)
The situation is quite dire. Not only have we been struck from within by unknown forces, which has put our command staff in a state of disarray, but we are also under attack in the Aurora Sector and Cadrel Expanse by an unidentified Imperial force, which appears to be extremely well organized and competently led. Our new FC, Admiral Vandroth’s orders are effectively to do damage control; limit our losses and regroup so we can tackle this properly. These missions are part of this plan, so check your mission briefings, get out there, and let’s not let the Imperials cause any more damage than they already have.

Tour: Hammerfall
Operation: Dented Shield
Operation Start date: April 1st
Operation End Date: May 31st
Welcome back, RS!
It is my pleasure to announce the beginning of the Hammerfall Tour of Duty. We have an extensive fictional story arc to tell over the course of this Tour and can't wait to begin developing and exploring it with you. Because with out you, soldiers, there isn't a story to tell.
With that in mind, stand by to receive your missions!
======================================================================================
It looks like one of our forward outposts in the Aurora Sector is going to be hit hard; we've clocked Impstar Duces with full complements of TIES and other various assault craft on an inbound vector. We're not exactly sure how many destroyers are in this particular strike force though, and we do still have both the MC-80 Windstorm, a Golan II, and of course the base itself is still online. We should at least be able to make a fight of it before we need to abandon the place; maybe we'll have slim chance of being able to drive some of them off. So, here's the plan pilots: we'll make our stand until it looks like the base is going to fall, then we'll make sure and get any remaining personnel the hell out of there and make our getaway. We can't really risk losing the Windstorm though, so if it starts getting hammered we'll need to cover its immediate retreat. Fortunately we're hosting various pilots from Dagger, Resurrection, and Wildcard squadrons here at the moment, so we'll have a lot of good sticks plus the Corvette Javelin in the air to support. Eyes up and shoot straight pilots, here we go!
Objective instructions: Download and fly the mission (http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/itod/mission?id=1101). We’d like to also see more narratives, so try to include one with your report.
Objectives/Point distribution: 1 for submission, 1 for Success result, 1 for narrative with submission (3 total)
Additional Information: When completed, the reporter link can be found here (http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/itod/mission?id=1101). If you have any questions/commence/concerns regarding the mission, contact 2LT CrazyCarl, the mission builder. (ceichel02@gmail.com)
Pilots, listen up! We’re getting hit hard and you’re now on point to evac one of our outposts before we lose it entirely. There’s two operations here, pick which one you can tackle, coordinate with the remaining forces, and get our transport out of there safely. Don’t try to stick around and fight off the whole invasion yourself, the odds aren’t in our favor this time, and we need survivors, not martyrs.
Objective instructions: There are two possible engagements to undertake, only one needs to be reported for ITOD credit. The first is a 1v1 engagement, the other is our first 2v2 Epic Rules engagement. Both sides need to have 2 players to do the second engagement. Both engagements have the same ROE, but the reporter system does require you to select the correct engagement when reporting. Both can be found here: (http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/itod/tour.php?id=155)
Objectives/Point distribution: 1 point for each operation participated in (2 total) and 1 additional point for the first RS victory result a player gets (A grand total 3 points possible. The victory point only goes to the first RS victory engagement for the RS player)
Additional Information: Report under which engagement you undertake, as found in the Tour hub for Minis (http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/itod/tour.php?id=155) Any questions/comments/concerns regarding the mission may be sent to MGN Ginovef (cipherhornet18@gmail.com).
The Rebel Squadrons continues to build their defenses and bases. Many materials have been gathered, ready for a future development. Food and drink is plentiful, as are the number of escape routes deep into the planet. This was much needed following the recent bombardment and destruction of their previous base. RS engineers have been busy and a planetary shield generator has been recently completed to protect the Rebel Squadrons' base from an orbital bombardment. The group must now turn their skills towards building a very small capital scale shipyard (possibility to expand in the future) to take the fight straight back to the imperials and protect themselves from any ground or air combat.
Objective instructions: To complete a shipyard 80 blocks wide x 130 blocks long. Secondary Mission: Build a squadron of rebel fighters, housed in the shipyard. Tertiary Mission: Contribute 2000 stone blocks.
Objectives/Point distribution: 1 points will be awarded for completion of the shipyard to any participant involved on the server. 1 point for a squadron. 1 point for 2000 stone blocks. A total of 3 points up for grabs. A screenshot will be required for each and should be submitted with the mission report.
Additional information: All three objectives are located here in the Minecraft Tour Hub (http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/itod/tour.php?id=156). Please ensure that you report under which objective you are completing. Any questions/comments/concerns can be forwarded to BGN Quinal (mcguirecj@hotmail.com).
Commando ground operations must continue to remain active in throughout the Aurora Sector if we are to have any hope of maintaining a foothold against this Imperial incursion. There are dangerous assignments that must be undertaken, but they are vital to our strategic survival in the sector.
Objectives/Point distribution: 1 point for each completed Flashpoint (for a total of 3 points).
Objective instructions: Participate in 3 Flashpoints on “Hard” Mode. Please ensure that you are undertaking Flashpoints appropriate to your character level.
Additional Information: Utilize the standard activity reporter (http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/multiplayer/report_mp.php ) and include a screenshot as required. For any questions or concerns, contact BGN D’jo (raydjo@aol.com) .
Our border outposts are going to be the hardest hit, but the best defense is a good offense, so our commanders are being encouraged to take the fight to the enemy at any available opportunity, hopefully to keep the Imperials off balance while the rest of our forces regroup.
Objective instructions: Submit up to 10 100% completion battle reports for full operational credit.
Objectives/Point distribution:
1st operational point - Submit a 100% completion battle report
2nd and 3rd operational point - Submit 10 100% completion battle reports
