Apex Mission - Aeten II
- Click for BRIEFING
-
This is going to be a very profitable job for Apex. The senior ranking members know that Blackwell had contracted Apex for this mission. This was going to be a false-flag attack the government of Aeten II that aims to force the government off this world. The contractor wants the governor and his forces either pushed off or killed, they aren't too picky as long as they are removed from power entirely. The Governor's forces consist of a private mercenary group called the Ecliptic Mercenary Group. There would also be some security droids supplementing the Ecliptics.
Once the local government is removed from power, then someone has to fill in the power-void. And that someone will be Blackwell.
Around two-dozen soldiers have been accolated for ground combat, they will set themselves stealthily. Once the fighting begins, they will surprise the governor's mercenary forces and defenses, while a small starfighter squadron will lend air support. While that is happening, that will be the perfect opportunity while they are distracted for infiltrators or assassins to sneak in.
This is not expected to be a difficult job, but the client is offering a big reward.
Not only is this a high paying job in terms of raw credits, Blackwell is also promising a batch of Stygium crystals and some starship cloaking drives as payment in addition to the credits.

There are two primary objectives that need to be completed
1) Ecliptic Mercenary Group forced into retreat or eliminated.
2) Governor defeated, either by his retreat, death, or capture
The skies are twilight on the volcanic world, even the sun sets, veins and rivers of molten lava are still readily visible. About two dozen Apex ground troops, wearing unmarked uniforms have set themselves up along the outskirts of the governor's compound; using the cover of the approaching darkness and rocky terrain, waiting for the signal for an ambush.
It was time, while the ground troops were on stand-by, waiting for the order to strike quickly at the governor's compound, Aden would be taking flight right now with his small starfighter squadron that will be providing support. Aden would be flying a non-descript Cutlass-9 Patrol Fighter, loading with high explosive missiles. Not as good as his usual ships, but for a false-flag operation like this, he couldn't take any of his normal starships because they would be recognized. Also flying with Aden are 4 other Cutlass starfighters with the same payload of high yield missiles as well. Aden would be leading the squadron of starfighters, and overall the ground forces await the Senior Contractor's order to strike.
Soon everything will be ready. Aden and his squadron are flying to the outpost right now. Once they arrive, then the operation will commence.
