Op. SCALLYWAG Cambridge Small-Scale Combat Event - Prisoner Transfer
Overview
Over recent years, Corsair raids on Bretonian core territory have skyrocketed. The Cambridge Line has proved largely ineffectual at stemming this tide, prompting an ever escalating requirement for counter-piracy patrols throughout Cambridge, New London and Omega-3. Forces of the Civil Defence Initiative are usually thrown at these tasks as a largely disposable pool of manpower. Recent patrols have resulted in the capture of many Corsairs, although at a terrible cost in lives and materiel.
Owing to overcrowding aboard Newgate Prison, many of these pilots are being held in a temporary brig aboard Coleraine Distribution Center in New London. Transfer orders have now been received for these criminals to be transferred to the newly opened BPA Parkhurst in Omega-3. A CDI Armored Transport detail has been requisitioned carry out the mission, expecting a relatively quiet run. Little do they know that one of the captives aboard is a junior but influential raider commander of the notorious Deterrence Corsair gang.
Already Corsair scouts prowl the Keswick and Peterborough Fields, waiting for signs of the transport. They will go to great lengths to get their man back.
Objectives
Bretonians win if the Corsair Pilots are sold on BPA Parkhurst.
