==History==
 
==History==
Using an [[Advanced Electronic Codebreaker]] given by [[Simon Karosas]], [[Farah Murad]] decoded the Argo's data banks, unlocking several SLDF star maps, one of which led the player's crew to Artru. Intelligence reported that the base held an arsenal of Star League technology but - in addition to its remote and inhospitable location - was guarded by a network of automated defenses, including turrets and many SLDF [[Robots|drone-tanks]]. Lady Arano would take the mercenaries to join her on the ground.

After the deal that Simon made to Lady Arano, he and Farah would decode the info, leading her to a Star League base on Atru. Intelligence reported that the base held an arsenal of Star League technology but was guarded by SLDF drones. Lady Arano would take the mercenaries to join her on the ground.
  
Upon landing on the planet, Kamea and her mercenaries would have to contend with drones and turrets on the planet. As the mercenaries were drawing closer to the base, Kamea ordered Farah to crack into the base’s security systems. However, Farah inadvertently released the [[Locura]] virus, which infected the ''Argo''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s systems. The situation was made worse when even more defensive units were reactivated to defend the installation from Kamea and her battered mercenaries. Fortunately for the mercenary forces, Farah was able to breach the systems, grant access to the base's interior, and shut down the remaining automated defenses. With Castle Nautilus opened, the Restoration would be able to raid the base for much-needed equipment and supplies, and (potentially) useful information.

Upon landing on the planet, Kamea and her mercenaries would have to contend with drones and turrets on the planet. As the mercenaries were drawing closer to the base, Kamea ordered Farah to crack in the base’s security codes. However, she would inadvertently activate the Lacura virus, which would cause problems aboard the Argo. The situation was made worse when other drones were reactivated to attack Kamea and her battered mercenaries. Fortunately for the mercenary forces, Farah was able to open the base and overwrite the code to the drones. With Castle Natilus opened, the Restoration would be able to haul the equipment from the base.

==The Long Haul==
After Kamea’s mercenaries extracted from Artru, she would bring her Restoration MechWarriors to recover the ancient SLDF Mechs and equipment out of the storage and to their DropShips. Trouble would appear in the form of [[Samuel Ostergaard]], who came to Artru, declaring his vendetta against Kamea for the death of [[Samuel Ostergaard II|his son]]. He destroyed one supply ship and deployed Taurian Assault 'Mechs to stop her. Lady Arano would fortunately escape off-world with the remaining equipment. With the equipment loaded, the Restoration forces would have useful weapons for their arsenal.

==Destruction==
In order to prevent the bunker and its contents from falling into enemy hands, it was detonated from the inside in a fireball that was sufficient to severely damage any units too close to the bunker exit. Whilst much of the then-irreplaceable equipment was destroyed or otherwise rendered useless, Lady [[Kamea Arano|Arano]] and her Lance were ultimately able to escape in some of the Star League 'Mechs which were loaded with valuable - and ''powerful'' - SLDF-grade equipment.
