Operation Steel Dust
Step off from Devil Forest Bivouac under darkness, sweep southeast RA01 from Devil Forest Gold Mine through Omega R&D, Azrael crash recovery, Russel Gold Mine, Burnet Ridge, W161, and Assembly Hall Omega 1, then exfil to South Cape Station.
Situation
Command has located the enemy unit reactivating Auroa's gold mines to support lethal ground-drone production. Their commander and cell remain mobile, but their presence in southeast Restricted Area 01 is confirmed.
The mission is to eliminate or capture the commander, destroy the drone production line, and exploit additional high-value targets across the AO.
Execution
Move from Devil Forest Bivouac to the first objective on foot, exploit each site in sequence, adapt the route as fresh intel appears, and finish by exiting to South Cape Station.
