Channels / Good Hope Mountain border
Operation Black Knight
Conquest-mode coastal infiltration from Owl Forest Bivouac into the MN.COPPER AO to destroy SAM coverage, retake Channels R&D Center, secure PROJECT: CLAW data, and capture ONYX for interrogation.
Situation
Bodark forces seized Channels R&D Center to steal PROJECT: CLAW research and other Skell technology data. They have reinforced the AO's air defenses enough to deny a direct aerial approach.
SIGINT indicates Bodark cyber specialist ONYX may be on site supervising the breach. Capturing him is a CIA priority because of prior government-network intrusions.
Execution
Insert by boat, clear Murmur drone coverage, demolish the Electric Grid Control SAMs and comms relay, remove the hilltop SAM, then assault the R&D center and strip the servers.
- StartDepart Owl Forest Bivouac and acquire watercraft for the coastal approach.
- SuppressNeutralize Murmur UAVs and destroy all marked SAM systems with C4.
- ExploitDownload CLAW data, wipe servers, detain ONYX, and extract to HQ.
Air Denial
Multiple SAM sites and the main comms relay must be demolished before extraction is safe.
Target
ONYX can be represented by any enemy near the servers inside Channels R&D Center.
Data Handling
Secure PROJECT: CLAW research first, then wipe the servers to prevent follow-on Bodark exploitation.
Objective Alpha
Murmur Drone Screen
Clear the hostile UAV layer protecting the coastal ingress route and Outcast scout lanes.
Objective Bravo
Electric Grid Control
Secure the site and demo all local SAMs plus the primary communications relay antenna.
Objective Charlie
Hilltop SAM
Move southwest and destroy the elevated SAM emplacement with C4.
Objective Delta
Channels R&D Center
Retake the center, capture ONYX, secure PROJECT: CLAW, and call Lightning 1-2 for extract.
