Shadows of the Great War - The Spirit of Ptah Mission 5
Player squadron: 26th Yellow Lancers
Description: Hammer of Light forces have moved to Aldebaran, but seem en route to Altair. PVI Command wants to exploit a funeral to execute a surgical strike on a major HoL battlegroup...
Created: January 9th, 2009
Released: October 16th, 2020
Background
After the discovery of the Shivan research outpost and its consequent destruction, both of which have been strictly classified, the attention shifts to Aldebaran, where most Hammer of Light forces seem to be headed to. Yet still, the gap in intel between what the Alliance knows about the HoL's agenda and the agenda itself is considerable, so further attempts have to been made to gather more data. According to intercepted communications, the former CO of the HLD Prophecy, Admiral Khenu, died following an attack on the Typhon, though the warship managed to survive. As per Vasudan traditions, a funeral will take place, during which the coffin carrying the admiral's corpse will be launched into the void. It is suspected that Khenu's items, including objects with precious intel, may be within the coffin so an operation is planned to retrieve the corpse and analyze everything. This, of course, is hardly acceptable by Vasudan standards, but the Alliance isn't taking any chances. One of the best squadrons on the Hedetet, the 26th Yellow Lancers, is disbanded due to prominent proof that its pilots were HoL agents. The squadron is reformed, and a Terran pilot is now included in its roster.
