Operation Overlord Brief Wrote:
Task Force Warhammer are planning something huge and we'll need all the help we can get. Plans have been going on for months now and it's finally time to put them into reality and execute them. Our target, is the Battle Cruiser Hawaii, under the name of LNS-Hawaii. We have been studying her and her crew for a long time now, working out how they fight and what strategies they use. It is one of the newer Battle Cruisers that the Navy have with advanced technology on board the ship. Here is an uploaded report of the Battle Cruiser Hawaii.
Liberty Navy Ship Hawaii Report Wrote:Vessel Name: Hawaii Vessel Identification Friend or Foe: Liberty Navy Secondary Force Vessel Class: Intedictor Class, Assault Battle Cruiser Vessel Captain: Captain John Williamson Vessel XO: Lieutenant Commander Micheal Jax Vessel Status:Active - QRF
Ship Weaponry:
6x LCT-1d "Havok" Liberty Cruiser Turrets
1x LDF-5a "Meson" Liberty Battleship Flak Turret
2x LDH-24v "Collapser" Liberty Battleship Turrets
1x LCM-3a "Raptor" Liberty Cruiser Turrets
3x C-25 "Cerberus" Heavy Cruiser Turrets
Summary:
This new, "Intedictor" Class Liberty Assault Battle Cruiser, fresh out of "Juneau Shipyard", is the next generation glass Battle Cruiser equipped with new "Olympus Ocean Front Mk XII" Impulse Engines, "Olympus Space Frontier Mk IIX" Cruise Engines and "Rochdale Intern Mk IX"
Shield Generator. These are all top of the range and experimental pieces of equipment giving the new, "Intedictor" Class Liberty Assault Battle Cruiser, that extra edge in Capital ship Warfare. It now serves as part of the Quick Response Force (QRF) reacting to serious emergencies such as a Gallic invasion.
As you can see, she is part of the Quick Reaction Force, also known as the QRF. It's is going to take a lot to bring the ship out and thus, we need a large strike force to lure the ship out from it's mooring point. This is where the Xenos and other Hellfire Squadrons will come in. We have analysed 4 systems in which to place the attack. From our results, the system of Texas will be where we are staging the attack. The Texas Report has been uploaded.
Texas Brief Wrote:System Name: Texas Number of Planets: 4 Number of Stations: ~4 Trade Lanes?: Yes Threat Level:Low
System Report: After the war with Rheinland, the forces in Texas are battered and withered. Along with that, Texas is a vast system spreading of vast distances. There are two damaged Prison stations, under the names of Sugarland and Huntsville which will not be to much of a threat. There is a Junker base somewhere and there is also a battleship under the name of Mississippi.
Texas seems to be the best suited system for our attack. The proposed place to start the attack is far away from any Trade Lanes and help. The cloud itself will help to inhibit the Communications on the Cruiser. There is a dense scrap field to get the Cruiser to become stuck. There are also no nearby patrols from the Armed Forces. This will be the most ideal place to start the attack or lure the cruiser to.
Also attached, is the location to where we plan to lure the Cruiser away and board it. Yes, we're going to board the ship and try to take control of it. Really. Once the ship is alone, a squadron of Hellfire Legionaries will board the Cruiser from a hole that will be made in the side of it. Each deck and room will be cleared out until there are no more Navy Personal left. Once we have control of the Cruiser, all remaining Forces are to disengage and escort the Cruiser back to Fort Leniex in Vespucci, our home system, and then will undergo all repairs required and a complete system interface change so that it will be compatible with our Hellfire Weaponry.
As Most of you have already seen this, Operation Overlord is the capture of the LNS-Hawaii, a Liberty Battlecruiser. High Command has yet to decide the date and time of the attack.
I have linked the transmission above to this one, use it to get all the information you need.
The Research Department is requested to ready all their specialist equipment as they will be immediately starting their work on the Battlecruiser once it arrives.
