[Star Citizen] OPERATION SILENT SHIELD

OPERATION ORDER: SILENT SHIELD

UNIT: 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment

DATE/TIME: 25 SEP @ 2000Z

AREA OF OPERATIONS (AO): HATHOR Sites (Daymar)

1. SITUATION

The 7th Cavalry has entered into a joint-operation agreement with allied forces from the Paladin

Corporation. On 25 SEP, an allied detachment led by Cpl. Cleveland will be executing a series

of high-value missions on the surface at the HATHOR sites. Due to elevated pirate and hostile

player activity in the sector, their element is highly vulnerable to interception and requires heavy

orbital and airspace support to ensure mission success.

2. MISSION

On 25 SEP at 2000Z, elements of the 7th Cavalry will deploy a Capital-class task group to the

AO to establish airspace supremacy and provide continuous, heavy overwatch for Cpl.

Cleveland's mission element. Our primary objective is to deter, intercept, and destroy any hostile

threats attempting to interfere with the allied ground operations.

3. EXECUTION

A. Commander's Intent

Establish an impregnable defensive perimeter around the allied operating area. We will utilize

the overwhelming presence of our Capital asset to deter larger threats, while our fighter escort

maintains a mobile Combat Air Patrol (CAP) to intercept smaller, fast-moving hostiles before

they reach Cpl. Cleveland's team.

B. Concept of Operations

• Phase 1: Muster & Preparation (1930Z - 2000Z) - All personnel rally at Seraphim Station. Capital ship crew man stations; fighter escorts spawn and prep on the pad/hangar.
• Phase 2: Deployment (2000Z) - Fleet moves as a unified group to the AO. Capital ship anchors in high orbit or atmospheric overwatch above Cpl. Cleveland's coordinates on Daymar.
• Phase 3: Overwatch & CAP - Fighter escorts deploy into a 360-degree screen around the Capital ship and the ground target. Continuous communication maintained with Cpl. Cleveland regarding mission progress and threat vectors.
• Phase 4: Exfiltration - Upon Cpl. Cleveland signaling mission complete, the 7th Cav fleet will cover their quantum jump out of the AO before recalling fighters and returning to base (RTB).

C. Rules of Engagement (ROE)

WEAPONS TIGHT unless fired upon or explicitly cleared by the Operation Commander.
Any unidentified contacts entering a [Insert distance, e.g., 15km] radius of the allied
ground team must be hailed and warned. Failure to alter course will result in hostile
classification.
