The Premise: Tensions between Bretonia and Rheinland had simmered for a long time. When the Bundestag reacted to Bretonia's own posturing, these tensions flared into a full blown border conflict and embargo, catching many unprepared. Hundreds of Bretonian nationals were stranded inside Rheinland, and vice versa. As the two Houses' militarys rattled sabres in the Omegas, these displaced and cut-off citizens were placed on the backburner, with neither House being able to secure the resources for excursions that could be better used manning the ramparts.

Of the many civilians caught behind enemy lines, one group was the family of the Rt Hon. Andrew Maloney, MP, MBE. Stranded upon Planet Baden Baden by the declarations of war, the family retreated from their mainland homes, into a holiday retreat in the Baden Highlands. Maloney exhausted his contacts in short order, unable to find any government agency willing to extract his children and grandchildren. Eventually, he resorted to contacting Bowex - an organisation he had previously led as Director of Operations.

Agreeing to the operation, current DO Liam Adama delegated the task to Bowex's Brown Ops team, the Clydesdale Brigade. The Brigade immediately set to planning how to best infiltrate Stuttgart, pick up the family, then extract themselves in the most inconspicuous and efficient manner possible. It was eventually decided the best way would be to launch a distraction to draw patrols away from the planet. The LWB were contacted in regards to this distraction, and a highly secret deal struck. The scene was set. The invasion would begin that Tuesday.
