Overview[edit]
Using the integrated combined arms sub-orbital/atmospheric drop Marshall Jon Davion developed in Sakhara, the Group eliminated the Protectorate command structure within the first twenty-four hours. The Blakists in the capital city of Madison were caught so off guard by the 212th's combat drop that they were still powering on their ’Mechs when the 212th attacked. The Headhunters swiftly located Precentor Agnes Merrick's Grigori and killed her with a laser after tearing into her cockpit. As they did on Sheratan, Delta Galaxy sent their Arbalests forward to hunt down and neutralize C3 networks, however this time the Militia countered with fast hovercraft and battle armor hunting groups of their own. Delta Galaxy took far heavier casualties then they expected. Despite this setback hostilities ended a week later on 22 September.[1][2][3][4]
Notes[edit]
Several sources state Group II, but this was confirmed to be an error by the line developer, Group III is correct.
