MISSION 07
ACT 1, MISSION 07

Fighter squadron: 170th Fighting Navajas

Description: On her last mission with the Navajas, Laporte defends a UEF cruiser from a raiding GTVA squadron.


Background

Admiral Steele's blitz of Earth's orbital installations has left a lasting impact on the UEF. Much of the Federation Navy's logistical infrastructure has been gutted, leaving it with an operational window of 6-12 months before being affected by fuel and ammunition shortages. As a result, Admiral Byrne makes a decision to cut back on First Fleet's combat deployments to preserve their assets for "the long war ahead". In a leaked communique, Admiral Calder expresses his fury at Admiral Byrne for not listening to him, for seriously miscalculating Admiral Steele's strategy, and for hoarding First Fleet assets for his secret project.

The blitz took its toll closer to home, as well. After suffering 70% casualties during the defence of Rheza Station, the Navajas are being disbanded and their surviving pilots are being transferred to other squadrons. Brie decides that he doesn't have the reflexes he had at the beginning of his career two decades ago, making him a poor choice to fight on the front lines. He opts instead to transfer to Rheza Station, training fighter pilots. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Kassim did not report for the defence of Rheza Station, instead drinking in his quarters. When Captain Telfer finds him there, he court-martials Kassim, resulting in a psychological discharge and his transfer to a government center on Earth for spiritual healing.

This leaves Laporte in command of the squadron for its last mission. The Navajas are sent to investigate a loss of contact with the UEC Dea Icaunis, a Sanctus-class cruiser. It is believed that enemy action is the reason for losing contact with the cruiser, and as such they are to recon the area in force.
