Operation Fury Scorpion

Operation Fury Scorpion, informally known as the battle of Lancaster is the Orion Nero Initiative's military operational name for the ONI's First Strike against Alvitr Central Security forces on international ground, away from Orion, and Nero. On August 2061, the ONI launched a full scale invasion to take the city of Lancaster in the Mansfield Province of Ansaris.

The purpose of the operation was to:


 * 1) Locate and capture Adrian Lux who was spotted by advanced reconnaissance units.
 * 2) Neutralise the 2nd Alvitr Corps positioned at Fort Vizor which controlled the entire South-eastern region of the country.
 * 3) Capture Lancaster's Seaport and Naval Base.

Operation Objectives
The commencement of the operation began at 0700 with two separate attacks conducted by the Orion Expeditionary Corps. Majority of the OEC and the ONI Navy were to attack the city from the East, seizing control of the sea port and the naval base before moving inland. The 7th Infantry Division was tasked with clearing the city from the North.

Elements of the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team and Combat Aviation Brigade would fly deep into North Lancaster to disrupt ACS forces and positions, weakening the ACS defence line to the North that would allow the 3rd Armoured Brigade Combat Team to punch through the Northern defence line and support the 1st IBCT that were positioned in nine landing zones throughout the Northern section of the city.

After securing majority of the city, the OEC would begin to attack the ACS Garrison, Fort Vizor, located to the Southeast of the city. A joint attack between the 1st IBCT and Anvil Team from the Joint Special Operations Command infiltrated the Garrison to learn of two position safehouse locations that Adrian Lux may have gone into hiding. While Anvil Team searched the first safehouse in a metro tunnel off of 7th Avenue, and coming empty handed, a second Special Operations Detachment unit, Viking Team, successfully captures Adrian Lux at the second safehouse location in Goulburn. Viking Team's exfil is destroyed and are forced to seek refuge in the town that is occupied by ACS forces. A second Special Operations Unit is sent in from the Nero Commando Corps to help extract the S-O-D team, as well as the High-Valued Target.
