TACTICAL OPERATIONS ORDER: OPERATION STYGIAN TIDE
Hosted by: DEVCOM / Star Citizen Area of Operations
Operation OIC: PFC. Monk. M, 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment
Target Area of Operation: Stanton System (Daymar — PAF & OLP)
Combat Element: Task Force Group "PHANTOM" (TFG-Phantom)
Operation Date: Saturday, 11JUL26
1. SITUATION
A. Area of Operation: Stanton System — Daymar. High-threat Planetary Alignment Facilities (PAFs), including Lamina PAF-III, and the corresponding Orbital Laser Platform (OLP).
B. Hostile Forces: NineTails Outlaws & aggressive corporate scavengers. Expect active light-to-medium fighter sweeps in the upper atmosphere, as well as entrenched infantry elements holding the ground facility structures.
C. Context: The Stanton system's regional "Align and Mine" protocols have been triggered over Daymar. Accessing the locked-down sub-surface ore veins requires physical intervention at the local PAF.NineTails outlaws have occupied the facility to hijack the loot caches. They have stripped the power cells and scrambled the communication arrays. Task Force Group "PHANTOM" (TFG-Phantom) is deploying a heavy joint Security, Gunship, and Ground Extraction element to secure the facility, print keycards, solve the grid alignment puzzle, boot up the mining laser, and extract the high-value ore from the facility vaults and immediate surroundings.

On 11JUL26 at 2100Z, TFG-Phantom deploys from Seraphim Station to the Daymar PAF sector to clear outlaw forces, restore power cells, align the Planetary Alignment Facility, trigger the Orbital Laser Platform, and secure/extract high-value ground assets. Under 7Cav Star Citizen SOPs, the OIC (PFC. Monk. M) will personally transport the ground assault element (Chalk-1), ground tactical vehicles, and snub defenses to the AO via the Drake Ironclad Assault, secure the landing zone, and haul all physicalized cargo and mined assets back to Seraphim Station.
3. EXECUTIONA. Concept of the Operation
This operation will be executed in three consecutive phases on a single deployment night:
[]Phase I: Air Superiority & Combat Infiltration (The Ironclad Drop)
[]PHANTOM Fighter and Gunship elements establish a heavy localized blockade to deny hostile airspace access. PFC. Monk. M piloting the Drake Ironclad Assault inserts the Ground Segment (Chalk-1) directly onto the PAF compound. Upon landing, the Ironclad scrambles its internally carried deck-fighters (Drake Pitbulls) to establish localized close-air protection. Gunship elements provide suppressive fire to clear outlaw guards from the rooftops and surrounding terrain.
[]Chalk-1 dismounts alongside their specialized Greycat armored rovers. Chalk-1 secures the facility structures, farms the colored keycards (Blue/Red), and uses tractor beams to insert heavy power batteries into the power grid. Space and gunship elements provide heavy Close Air Support (CAS) and intercept enemy patrol fleets in the upper atmosphere.
[]With the orbital laser successfully fired and resources exposed, the Ground Segment utilizes the Argo ATLS GEO mining suit alongside hand-mining tools (Multi-Tools) to rapidly extract high-value minerals directly from the facility's secure zones. All physicalized cargo, mined gems, and deployed ground vehicles are loaded directly back into the primary cargo hold of PFC. Monk. M's Ironclad Assault for extraction back to Seraphim Station.
- []Command & Control (Ironclad Element): Transport Chalk-1, the ground vehicle fleet, and the snub fighters to the LZ, establish a secure localized command post, deploy the onboard support vehicles, and manage the secure loading of all physicalized cargo.
[]Gunship Division (Strike Element): Provide continuous heavy fire support, suppression of ground turrets, and screen the Ironclad during landing and loading phases.[]Fighter & Snub Squadron: Deny hostile air interceptors access to the airspace; establish high-altitude combat air patrol (CAP). Onboard Pitbull pilots will scramble from the Ironclad deck to provide immediate low-altitude fighter screening.
[]Ground Segment (Chalk-1): Infiltrate the facility via MTC/MDC support, eliminate hostile infantry in CQB, complete the power alignment puzzle, and execute rapid heavy mining using the ATLS GEO.
[]Rally Point: Seraphim Station (Crusader Orbit). All personnel will bind their imprints at the Seraphim medical clinic prior to step-off.
[]Comms Profile: Discord (7Cav Star Citizen Operations Room) and SRS configured to 7Cav Tactical Frequencies.- []Command Vehicle Staging (Drake Ironclad Assault Cargo Hold):
[]1x Argo ATLS GEO (Industrial Power Suit): Equipped with its bespoke mining laser, operated by the combat miner for high-speed resource extraction.- []1x Greycat MTC (Light Armored Transport): Deployed immediately to provide mobile weapons and armor lockers, acting as a tactical forward outpost for Chalk-1 with its remote Size 2 turret.
[]1x Greycat MDC (Mobile Air Defense Rover): Configured as a defensive anchor. Its automated PDT (Point Defense Turret) is engaged to screen the immediate landing zone from airborne threats while ground troops operate inside. - []3x Drake Pitbulls (Parasite Snub Fighters): Staged on/in the Ironclad's main hold. Scrambled instantaneously upon landing to provide low-level aerial protection.
- []Storm 3-2 to 3-5 (Chalk-1): Must be geared for serious, high-intensity CQB combat. Heavy physical armor (Grade-3) is strictly mandated. Primary weapons must include LMGs (Demeco/FS-9) or heavy assault rifles with high capacity. Demolitions and railguns/grenade launchers are authorized for heavy security points.
[]Auxiliary Kit: Ground troops must carry a Pyro RYT Multi-Tool equipped with both a Tractor Beam attachment (for battery transport) and a Mining attachment (for mineral extraction in areas inaccessible to the ATLS).
- Medical Support: Specialized support ships (Cutlass Red/Apollo) will act as regional medical respawn coordinates during the assault.
[]Primary Communications: r/starcitizen Discord
[]Tactical Communications: SRS (Simple Radio Standalone configured to 7Cav frequencies)- []Server / Shard Details: Party launch from Seraphim Station.
[]Mission Chain of Command:- []PHANTOM-6 (OIC): PFC. Monk. M (Commanding & Transporting from Drake Ironclad Assault)
