Horus: Order Reconnaissance and Stealth Battalion

[Ace Razgriz]

Horus Battalion

The Horus Battalion is a recently created Order stealth and reconnaissance group, specializing in making use of the Order's access to cloaking technology. Created by long time secondary fleet captain: Tantalus, Primary Fleet Inquisitor: Kelly Hellion, and secondary fleet captain: Tobias McCloud. All three of these individuals created Horus to take the role of a cloaking fleet during Operation Spear, designed to slip past the enemy and bombard Dabadoru without them even knowing. Horus' objective was a huge success, catching the Core fleets off guard during Spear and allowing the rest of the Order fleet to mow down the confused opposition and capture Dabadoru. After Spear, Horus has faded into the background, doing the menial tasks of keeping their new space secure. However, with the Omicrons under more pressure than ever, Horus has resurged, to take the special role of a proper Stealth and Recon division.

History of the Batallion
Horus is a relatively new name the Order for most, but for Overwatch members, it is an older name, longing to finally be brought to fruition as it is today. Horus initially began a few years before their debut in 822 A.S., more specifically in the depths of Hierlark Base in 820 A.S. Horus began as a force specifically assigned to Omicron Mu, and guarding Order home space to the best of their abilities, with the Primary Fleet picking their best agents for deep cover missions in keeping the weeds out of the Order Homespace.

This is how Horus functioned for two years, working as a special division out of Hierlark base on the surface of Akabat, up until the situation arose to bring Horus to the next level, more than just border control for Omicron Mu and Omicron Epsilon. Operation Spear, a plan long in the works of the primary fleet, to invade and conquer the Core presence threatening Omicron Delta. The Order began outsourcing Horus, making use of their access to cloaking technology, outfitting a specific group of Resheph Cruisers to serve as the primary assault force of Spear. With this force, Kelly Hellion made a decision to diversify command of Horus to cover all facets of the Primary and Secondary fleets, and selected two additional commanders to serve alongside her as the acting Commanders of Horus, and from there Horus grew exponentially, preparing for their debut to the rest of the Omicrons.

Horus remained in the shadow of the Order, retaining even their usual duty of acting as Border Control for the Primary fleet, training for Operation Spear, not seen far out of Hierlarks borders. Hellion herself fitting the two new commanders into their role, with those commanders being: Joseph "Tantalus" Grooms of the O'Rhu Cell, and Tobias McCloud of the main Secondary fleet. Both of these men had had notable achievements and service records with their time in the Order. These three commanders all rose to the pedestal, and in the years time that had passed in their training, Horus was ready for their debut unto the Omicrons.

Preparations began for Operation Spear in the beginning of July, with the Horus battlegroup gathering their forces and linking up with the battleship Apophis on July 10th for final preparations of the Operation. On July 11th, the day of attack finally came, with the Order fleet building up ready to attack Dabadoru and lay siege to what would soon be theirs. The plan for attack was simple, the fleet composed of Non-Horus ships would head straight for the Freeport, butting heads and attacking the Core defense fleet, meanwhile the Horus fleet, composed of 9 Reshephs, and 2 Osiris's, all of which were equipped for cloaking, would head past the fight and uncloak, ripping into the small Core fleet and destroying Dabadoru's defenses like flies in a house. After a few hours of short combat, the Order emerged victorious, having taken Dabadoru and eliminating a large Nomad fleet in the process, the Order had truly stepped up their game in the Omicrons, and Dabadoru was now theirs.

Ever since Spear, Horus has been re-assigned all around the Omicrons, with the primary focus being keeping new territory in Omicron Delta under tight protection. The majority of the Horus fleet has been separated since their heroics at Operation Spear, with the only notable figures remaining out of the shadows being the Commanders of Horus. Tantalus has taken the reigns of Horus since Hellions 'departure', with Inquisitor Aelita Stone now taking her place, and Horus now being inducted to bear the mark of the Primary Fleet. Commander in Chief Tantalus now serving with the Primary Fleet and with a goal now to unite Horus after their practical disbandment since Operation Spear. It is time now, for Horus to come back, this time with no plans of fading away anytime soon.

Role in the Order & Operational Goals
Horus today acts as a Stealth & Reconnaissance group within the Primary Fleet, using their abilities to keep Order borders clean and monitored, as well as deep house operations, with agents deployed as far as the Battleship Atum in Bretonia, a house notable for its recent Nomad activity. Their goals are in line with the Order in protecting humanity and doing as much as possible in the elimination of the Nomads.

Commanding Assets

Hierlark Planetary Command Center

Hierlark is the primary command base of Horus, serving as their stationary command base on the surface of Akabat. It has long served as the brainchild of Horus's operations since their founding in 820 A.S., and continues today to be the center for commanding the growing battalions' operations.

Razgriz Mobile Command Center

The Razgriz is the oldest mobile asset for Horus, an Osiris that has seen the thick of war beyond even its Commander Tantalus's experience. Today the Razgriz remains in Omicron Mu, sending out orders to Horus and patrolling Omicron Mu and Omicron Epsilon, however it is not on the front lines due to its value as the Horus Flagship.
