Operation Tracker

After receiving intel of the location of the HVT, Helion's pathfinders moved on scene as it was rumored she was currently located at her residency. Pathfinders equipped themselves with gas masks and CS gas quickly moved into the residency in question but no one was home. The Helions then looked around for evidence and found weaponry as well as three crates of Rave. After grabbing all evidence found, We detained one of her 'security guards' and handed them over to the local PDF.

A data pad had information that the HVT was meeting with an unknown person at a warehouse in a Federation city 10 minutes away from the residency by flight. Once arriving, The Helion's moved in naturally, blending in as though they were on leave whilst one of it's members used a drone to recon the area. A shipping manifest was found and handed over to command.

Operation Sewer Rat

Hellion was deployed to Forberne, Fielding after intelligence was brought up of a HVT affiliated with a terrorist cell we had multiple engagements with across a few strategic landmarks. A smooth shuttle ride brought Alpha team lead by Corporal Sofia Torres into the heart of Forberne where a short walk has lead them to the entrance of a sewage system. Going down the ladder they encountered their first door which they were quick to open only to find two Civilians under the influence of illegal narcotics, the Civilians were detained and evacuated by the PDF shortly after. Alpha team was met with multiple hallways leading deeper into the sewage system which caused them to split up into two teams, one lead by the Second in Command Lance Corporal Mark Teller. The two teams were quickly met with hostile forces unable to avoid them leading to multiple firefights resulting in a few dozen eliminated Terrorists. As they ventured deeper, Corporal Sofia Torres suffered an internal injury causing her to be treated and MEDEVAC'd immediately, shortly after Lance Corporal Mark Teller suffered a similar fate and they were both evacuated. Alpha team rallied up with their now designated squad leader Lance Corporal Harel Merton.

They continued the same path leading down to an underground bunker masked by the filth of never ending sewage locked by a keypad needing a keycard which they found after a short search of the terrorist bodies. A perimeter was formed and the bunker door was opened only to be met with immediate conflict with barricaded suspects of the unknown terrorist cell. Alpha team was quick to eliminate them only to be met with waves of raging fire spreading across the bunker. As they cleared room to room they found multiple documents and a suspect wielding a flamethrower burning down the bunker, and was also seen inside of a cell with an unknown Female, burning her down. Alpha team shot down the suspect and dragged the Female out of the cell and quickly evacuated the sewage system with the unknown Female. It is unknown if the Female is the HVT due to severe burns making facial recognition a lot harder, she is brought in for further investigation.

Operation Dam Evidence

The Hellions had dropped for a recon mission in the area due to suspected dealings with the terrorist group we'd been chasing around. There was a few POI's from command that we went to check out, First of which was a warehouse. which seemed to only house an unmarked skyhook, which was later piloted away from the area.

We then came under a compound when we heard shots ringing through the valley. We got to higher ground to get better observation. We decided then to head closer to the area. TSgt. Vane had managed to get close enough to overhear a conversation undetected. A background check was conducted on 'Garzia Galactics' which revealed they were a shipping company, only they were not licensed to deal with firearms. One building was being guarded, in which LCpl. Strong managed to sneak to a window to observe the inside. Crates of ammunition was found which was labelled with 'Garzia Galactics'. Unwilling to compromise the team, We took PDA photographs for evidence.

Operation Dam Assault

The Helions returned to Fielding in hopes of catching the company off guard and mid operation. The skyhook somehow crashed which rendered Cpl. Sofia Torres unconscious for a little. As the team moved on, Cpl. Alexis Petrov had climbed up a ladder, which resulted in a shot to her head. The team fought to and held an FOB which contained computers which was used to retrieve intel. We then moved to another location close by but encountered both MG and sniper fire.

Once clearing out the sniper and MG, the Helions pressed forward to their objective but came under contact of a tank. Cpl. Johnathan Hyde expertly used a HEAT round which destroyed the armor and allowed the Helions to continue their mission. At this point, Two more operatives were KIA. LCpl. Alex Smith and LCpl. Davis Davies. Pressing on to the final compound, the Helions came under heavy fire from a mortar above a stronghold help by the insurgents. TAC was used in order to defeat the mortar and the Helions proceeded for Evac.

Operation Plasmology

Hellions landed at Charlie Outpost to assist the 321st Mobile Infantry Battalion under the command of Lt. Sofia Mazzi in destroying a bug hive by planting DOTONs. Upon arrival, a plan was made to deal with the plasmas that prevented MEDEVAC from being called in or the ability to advance. The plasmas were killed and we pressed onward, killing off waves of bugs as we advanced.

Once the Hellions entered the second half of the valley, Lance Corporal Strong was injured and immediately MEDEVAC'd. Hellions continued to press onward where the largest concentrations of Plasmas were present, needing to neutralize them we began to engage. Lance Corporal Woods was injured by a cliffmite and unconscious, at risk of being overrun and needing the rifles available to shoot rather than carry the wounded, the decision was made to A6 them. Afterwards, Specialist Jackson opened fire with a TON without proper protocol and nearby units were unable to evade. Once reported HIGHCOMM demanded he be A11'd and it was carried out.

As the Hellions continued into hive, we made our way to the central chamber to find dead bugs including a large slug-like creature. As the DOTON's were planted a royal interupted causing three men to get trapped and after planting the bombs, Lance Corporal Teller distracted the Royal at the cost of injuring himself. Many of those in the unit would be injured as the Hellions continued to rush and fight our way out, Lance Corporal Seltz was among those who couldn't make it.

The DOTON's were set off and the remainder of the unit was returned to the Explorer

Amonnicus II • January 25, 2321 • Wolfram Keller (500186)
Operation: Blood Thicker than Water

Gladiator deployed near a bug hive and fought tooth and nail to push through the mountain range. Calling in plenty of artillery strikes and with support of Dagger-1 they pushed through taking minimal casualties. Petrov showed excellence in combat knowledge with his usage of the flame thrower attachment. Dagger-1 eventually crashed due to hopper interceptors. Gladiator moved in to recover and EVAC the pilot. Gladiator was given a choice to pull out but refused and pushed onwards into the hive. Placing two DOTONs and clearing half the hive out with rifle fire alone. Roberts showed excellence in his usage of the M55. Taking out swaths of Plasma and Tanker bugs. Requiring three separate resupplies for his M55 usage alone.

Gladiator placed their DOTONs and ex-filled. A successful detonation of a hive.

Operation Blue Forest

We dropped in to route out and destroy bug holes. So that's what we did. We killed a lot of bugs. And then I decided there was too many bugs for us to handle as a small unit. So we fired a TON to the South east, south west. Then got moving and we fired another TON to the south, and blew them motherfuckers up good and proper, yer.

Chastrilles • January 23, 2321 • Jessica Kerala (500567)
Intelligent Intelligence

Gladiators was sent out to retrieve research for MOBCOMM on the planet of Chastrilles. Due to lower numbers, a single element was formed directly under my command.

Upon arrival to the first bunker, Gladiators found that the MI garrison that had previously manned it was already KIA. Specialist Ramsey collected the tags and we proceeded down into the bunker.

Once Gladiators arrived to the other end of the tunnel, the plasmas were using a small town for cover in a valley. Once the plasmas were all killed, Gladiators continued West until we reached an abandoned MI Checkpoint while still fighting off the warriors.

Entering into a darker valley, the bugs made use of having the elevated terrain on either side of us. Gladiators kept firing on the move and punched a hole through the bugs before a massive wave of warriors began to give chase.

Once we made it out of the valley, Gladiators were updated with markers on the position of the research facility we were intended to search.

Once Gladiators arrived, we found a hole in the floor that gave access to the basement and proceeded down towards the lab. Minor contact was made. Eventually all of the dossiers were retrieved and we were clear to continue on.

It was here that we found the facility was largely compromised with a vast bug tunnel network already dug into it. The final file was taken and we rushed out due to being low on ammo and a big wave incoming.

Denebola • January 21, 2321 • Samantha Mason (500623)
Operation Donkey Punch: Day 7

Gladiators deployed from the FOB towards the main hive of the arachnids. Proceed in bugs seemed unusally passive. Ignoring us most of the time. We proceeded on, later discovering that the bugs were being influenced and aware of our presence. It was a trap.

While down there we encountered a weird bug with eight eyes and a "Vagina mouth" as was described. Upon discovering the trap, arachnid presence intensified and they had started the process of destroying eggs. The Gladiators continued into the tunnels and claimed some undamaged eggs. Four in total. Upon arrival back at the Hiroo Onoda, three were turned over to Military Intelligence, intact.

The bug mentioned was recorded by Leeson and Kerala.

Denebola • January 20, 2321 • Samantha Mason (500623)
Operation Donkey Punch: Day 5

The FOB came under heavy attack by accurate, indirect fire from arachnid plasma batteries. Due to the sheer number of plasma in the AO, Fleet were unable to get air support or Medevac to the FOB location. Due to lack of other NCOs at the time and the base being in poor condition, Gladiators contacted MOBCOMM and a plan was formed for the Gladiators to push out and take out the plasma in our sector of the AO.

Fleet eventually managed to find a pilot willing to fly the dropship to the location. We took the dropship along with one Eagle IFV to the area the Plasma were in. Once landed, Alpha formed a perimeter and Cortés used her talents to locate the first group of plasma, we got visual reference for location later as we saw plasma entering the sky.

Alpha proceeded slowly to the first location, working cohesively under the control of Lance Corporal Kerala. Assisted by the IFV. The Command element, made up of myself and the late arrival of Sergeant Keller kept an eye on the situation.

We found the first plasma up on a ridgeline, we engaged it with the IFV and eventually, the ATGMs and bullets from the vehicle took it down. With that success under our belt. We continued along this ridgeline, closing bug holes as we moved. Eventually we spotted a second set of plasma, there were tucked away behind a depression in the terrain, Roberts, who was driving the IFV was once more able to eliminate these plasma.

The final set of plasma could then be seen, far off to our north east. The decision was made to lob a ton over a mountain and airburst it. Roberts was the one to do this yet again, successfully taking out the plasma.

Contact was then made over LRR by a callsign, Saviour One Three. Informing us of a "Large bug" they were attempting to track and eliminate. Soon enough, we found out exactly what that bug was. A huge plasma, bigger than any bug I'd ever seen personally emerged from the ground.

Gladiators made the decision to pull the troopers back to safe distance so we could deploy a TON. Roberts deployed the TON, landing a hit but it did very little to the plasma, merely wounding it. With assistance from Saviour One Three they were able to GEONAV a TON to the location and this one managed to take it out thanks to Roberts weakening it.

At that point, MOBCOMM Informed the AO was clear and a dropship was deployed to take us back to the FOB

Operation Donkey Punch: Observation Post

Denebola • January 16, 2321 • Wolfram Keller (500186)
Operation Donkey Punch: Bug Mountain Offensive

The gladiators were tasked with the seizure of an airfield and an offensive on the bug flank. The Gladiators flew as close as possible on a sky hook and began their march towards the air field. An attempt to cross a bridge failed when they encountered the main force of bugs and were forced to pull back. Blowing the bridge in the process. The Gladiators were forced to take the long way around, Roberts utilized his M55 expertly and ultimately ran out of ammo, 40mms are an effective tactic against bug holes. Would recommend in the future to save HEAT ammo. The gladiators crossed a second bridge and eliminated two plasma batteries. Then they pushed to the airfield and took control. Private Ben Aitkenson, with no regard to his own saftey, rushed forwards to climb an MG tower and lay waste to the bugs. Covering the entire platoon as they rushed into the air field. Bugs hot on their heels. Giving the platoon the brief respite that they needed to get entrenched. Supplies and reinforcements were called in.

The second phase of the operation begins. Though interrupted by new plasma batteries on top of a mountain. A mobile Infantry platoon - Callsign Iron Wheel - was pushed back off the mountain and taking heavy casualties. Gladiators pushed in with two IFVs and an MBT. They pushed up the mountain under heavy bug assaults. Literally and metaphorically fighting an uphill battle. Total plasma battery kill count on the mountain is six. Once the plasma was cleared, Gladiators came under heavy assault and was saved by Dagger-1 Hiroo Onadas Aviation's wing.

The Gladiators pushed back down the path and relieved the air field once again from a counter offensive from the bugs. They held and Private Cortell was critically wounded. However, the bugs retreated and the airfield was secured. Mission Success.

Denebola • January 16, 2321 • Alexander M. Gunn (500150)
Operation Donkey Punch: Opening Offensive

First Platoon was sent in for the first wave assault on the Pole of Denebola. Shot down by plasma, the platoon was forced to hike roughly twenty kilometers through a bug infested winter wasteland. The going was tough, and they had no LRR contact with the rest of the Company. In the end the bugs weren't up to the challenge, and First Platoon made it to their FOB. Menelaus. Here they will remain for the duration of the operations on Denebola.

FM-779 • January 15, 2321 • Zoryana Kovalev (500304)
Operation Asimov

Gladiator's were dropped to the ground and had two objectives. Main objective was [XXXXXXXXXX] Secondary objective was the evacuation of civilian forces. The infantry moved with purpose and efficiency. Reaching the civilian encampment and evacuating them without much difficulty. On the way to the Main Objective the Gladiators came into contact with heavy Plasma and Tanker contact. Mounting a fighting retreat they made their way to the objective and retreated underground where they made contact with the objective. Once ready the Infantry pushed back to the surface in a daring push and made for the roof where they held off waves of Heavy Caste bugs and hopper incursions. Once the skies were clear EVAC was called. Outstanding performance.

• January 11, 2321 • Wolfram Keller (500186)
Operation Big Burger

Federation forces on planet have been pushed back and the entire planet was under Evacuation orders. Highlanders dropped down to secure a Beach head for further operations.

The LZ was a straight drop from water and about a 50 yard drop into the sea. The highlanders assaulted the beach and took few casualties. Pushing forward to secure a hill Keller called in the first of many TONs south east. Took a few wounded as Roberts took out several bug holes with utmost competency and EVAC was called on the hanger designated as the new FOB. Pushing towards the hanger a few more casualties were gained and the bug onslaught continued. Staff Sergeant Dougherty gave out proper warnings and followed procedures to notify any MI and pilots in the area of a TON going off in the south. The MEDEVAC did not heed the warnings and was grounded. The MI continued to the FOB and cleared it of holes outside and inside. Staff Sergeant Dougherty put himself at risk to close the bug holes inside with a few hand grenades. Supplies, ammo, and another MEDEVAC was called while the MI set up the new FOB with great success.

The Highlanders moved to search and rescue operations to collect the crashed MEDEVAC. However, the crew was dead on impact. The Highlanders soon Evacuated.

FRS-416 • January 09, 2321 • Tsotsoko Nafiev (500107)
Operation: Dancing Crate

Sent down to find blackboxes on crashed dropships. Planet was reportedly of high hopper presence, which we confirmed. This is also what sent the dropships down, ostensibly. Two of three were recovered. Advised not to recover last blackbox as a surviving crew had already extracted with it.

Hardrock I • January 09, 2321 • Tsotsoko Nafiev (500107)
Operation Sweeping Leg

Mobile Infantry were deployed to investigate various POIs for signs of Arachnid contact. There were no traces of Arachnids, only disgruntled miners, who were dispatched following their skirmish with the Gladiators.

Eridonis • January 08, 2321 • Erasmus Manderly (500143)
Operation: Relief

We dropped onto the planet of Eridonis, with the objective of aiding with the civilian evacuation of a local town. Moving along the roads, we took heavy contact, and heavy wounded. Sgt. Etta was critically wounded, so I, Corporal Radovic, took command of the Drop.

We made it to the outskirts of the town, where we took two miniscule FOBs, and held against heavy Arachnid assaults. Multiple TONs and artillery barrages were launched, but the Arachnids kept coming. In the conflict, MSpc. Vernon 'Fraggery' Ryker unfortunately met his end at the hands of a hopper.

We evacuated shortly after, firing a third TON to cover our evacuation.

Zegama Beach • January 08, 2321 • Alex Dougherty (500117)
Zegema Beach: Operation Bailout

The Highlanders landed on Zegema Beach, attracting the attention of the Arachnid forces to aid in evacuation efforts. A plasma battery opened up within the city, barraging the evacuating citizens, where the Highlander platoon took out the plasma battery, and then held their position for the remaining time.
