Timeline of Events:
Ground team members rendezvoused at Starlight Service Station and boarded their crafts.
CAS team rendezvous with ground team in Starlight SOI.
Idris assessed a handful of Farro Data Center sites for hostile Citizen activity.
After two Data Center sites were deemed too dangerous, CAS team committed to clearing Data Center 3 airspace.
Idris engaged handful of bogeys, cleared airspace of Faro Data Center 3.
Idris deployed Arrow to recon landing zone and engage ground turrets.
CAS team cleared ground turrets, Arrow RTB to Idris, ground team was cleared for Infil.
Ground team made a successful touchdown and ingress into Data Center, engaged NPCs with mild resistance.
Ground team identified Keycard printer and secured the area during this printing time.
*Note: Data Center goes into a Lockdown Protocol during card printing and several waves of NPCs will push towards the printer.
After repelling the NPC waves, ground team secured Specimen Cache Keycard, Lab Wear, and anything else that was of value.
After Ground Crew take off, Idris crew identified incoming ordinance targeting the Starlancer Max.
Idris crew engaged hostile crafts, allowing the Starlancer Max to reach Quantum altitude and escape Data Center 3 airspace. Hostile crafts retreated upon Idris retaliation.
Ground crew landed at Starlight Service Station without incident, and re-armed, refueled, and repaired as necessary.
CAS team advanced toward Lazarus Transit Hub Tithonus 3, reported multiple landed ships including one Polaris and an advancing Idris. Cas team Quantum Jumped to evaluate other Lazarus facility options.
CAS team advised ground crew of the intention to evaluate Lazarus Transit Hub Phoenix 1.
CAS team arrived in Lazarus Transit Hub Phoenix 1 airspace, identified very few signs of activity and advised Ground team was clear to ingress towards Phoenix 1.
Ground team made successful landing at Transit Hub Phoenix 1, cleared the immediate buildings and boarded the transit craft.
CAS team positioned the Idris in the immediate Phoenix 1 airspace and monitored for any hostile activity or other landing crafts.
Ground team made arrival at the Lazarus Complex proper.
Raise and Operator-Pirate pushed to secured the medical center within the Lazarus Complex and collected Radiation Suits and anything else of value until. Duo held their location for approximately 10 minutes.
LineAlign and the rest of the ground team rendezvoused with Raise and Operator-Pirate to push further into the Lazarus Facility.
Ground team pushed further into the facility, withstanding several different tier injuries among its members, estimated 8 to 10 incapacitation incidents of team members up to this time of the operation.
Ground team secured the Valakar Egg Specimen via Keycard, radiation was removed from the room, LineAlign transported the egg specimen to the Calling Tower. Upon retrieval of the egg, multiple adult and juvenile Valakar attacked the ground team, with increased numbers and aggression from the A.S.D forces.
After placement within the Calling Tower, the Irritated Apex Valakar appeared and proceeded to relentlessly attack the ground team, while the ground team continued to endure attacks from the A.S.D forces.
Ground team began engaging the Apex Valakar, taking notice of vulnerable places upon its body.
During the chaos, other players entered the AO, and while they were not directly hostile to the ground team, they did not immediately assist the ground team to fight the Apex Valakar. Other players decided to steal some of the collected supplies and valuables of the ground team.
Ground team actively engaged the Apex Valakar for approximately 45 minutes before exhausting ammunition reserves, and sustaining several high tier injuries among the team, with several individuals becoming incapacitated during the fighting.
After receiving distressing comms from the ground team, the CAS team moves the Idris toward the Apex Valakar to get within Mass Driver range.
The Idris made it within 20KM before sustaining incredible distortion damage from the irradiated storms on Pyro I, and ultimately losing flight controls and crash landing.
The ground team was able to evacuate all team members and secured supplies via the Lazarus Trams. Ground team arrived at Transit Hub Phoenix 1 and boarded the Starlancer Max. The Prowler Utility was destroyed by other players.
Ground team evacuated from Phoenix 1 without incident.
Mission Outcome:
[Partial Success]
The success comes in the Intelligence that was gathered on how the Apex Valakar fights, where its weakest points are, the quantity and aggression of A.S.D resistance, how to access the Egg Specimen, and what gear/weapons works and doesn’t work.
Challenges Encountered:
Lack of Comms discipline within the ground team. Including, but not limited to self narration, vague callouts and explanations, overly chatty.
Ground team could have had a more cohesive battle plan with squad/battle buddy pairings prior to boots on ground. Members were often finding that they were venturing away from the team or the team was leaving them behind.
Lessons Learned:
Lazarus Tram Transit time is approx 2.5 minutes
Lab coat required to access Farro Data Center
Data Centers enter Lockdown during Specimen Keycard printing and spawn waves of NPCs
Specimen Cache Access Card and Sterling Exploration Suites are required to access the Valakar Egg.
ATLS ITKI is paramount to ensuring there is enough DPS/ammunition to bring down the Apex Valakar.
