Fighter squadron: 222nd Nightwolves
Description: The 14th Battlegroup, under Admiral Bei Wen Jian, prepares to jump through the Sol Gate and re-establish contact with humanity's long-lost blue planet: Earth.
Background
In the wake of the Second Shivan Incursion, the economically and philosophically shattered Terran arm of the GTVA focused its energies on a single mammoth undertaking: the return to Earth. As the Vasudans prospered and flourished, mankind clung to the hope that a return to their homeworld might usher in a new golden age.
That dream now stands on the threshold of realization. After a series of classified probe deployments into Sol, the 14th Battlegroup, headed by the new Raynor-class destroyer GTD Orestes, has been ordered to establish formal contact.
Walkthrough
This mission is a cutscene.
