Talk:Operation THUNDERSTRIKE

Where does it say the Blackwind Lances turned on the 5th Syrtis Fusiliers? Free Capella was already ejected from the FS by this time. The article gave the impression the Lancers were part of the Hasek invasion. - Aldous

Jihad Hot Spots: 3070 - page 25 - article Confederation Strikes Back! is where intital report game in. In Jihad Secrets: The Black Documents page 18, Operation Thunder strike, they get into slight more detail, but not alot. The information is strung out between the Jihad books. -- Wrangler 19:29, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Article has the wrong

Operation Thunderstrike was a general counter offensive in October to gain time/retake worlds. It was launched broady along the front. It fizzled out by November. Source: Blake Ascending pages 184-185, and page 201 that bluntly indicates Thunderstrike was a limited counterattack. Talon Zhan reports that the invasion has been halted by the counterattack and a lack of momentum.

The overall counterattack title should be Operation: Celestial Vengeance (page 202). The article "Striking Back!" mentions the Strategios and CCAF luring the AFFS into the Sian Commonality and then counterattacking, saying "These are only the first attacks of Operation Celestial Vengeance, a campaign to regain our lands from the Davion aggressors."

Again on page 226 Task Force Light Horse is mentioned, along with "all forces" as being in preparation for the "...final stage of 'Operation Celestial Vengeance,'...". On the other hand, Thunderstrike is never mentioned again after its one article.

Therefore I move the article be renamed, with the first wave and supportive actions of the second wave labeled as Operation: Thunderstrike, and the Task Forces and the remaining waves clearly labeled as being the overall main goal of Operation Celestial Vengeance.
