History[edit]
Kaph, Aegis, and Alpha Squadrons are sent on a raid in the Bokura System. Their mission is to steal raw and refined metals from the recently discovered NR mining colony based on the ice planet Bokura V and the system’s asteroid belt. The three squadrons jump into the system in the Strike-Class Medium Cruiser Phalanx.
In phase one of the mission Kaph uses a variety of TIE models, Aegis flies Hornet Interceptors, and Alpha is equipped with Assault Gunboats. Phase one consists of the interception and capture of freighters transporting raw metal ore to the refineries on Bokura V.
All squadrons use a variety of fighters in phase two where the planet itself is raided of refined metals using VE freighters.

Outcome[edit]
Though the mission was successful, loses were taken. All but four of the Assault Gun Boats were destroyed in phase one and two of the VE freighters were lost. The biggest hit to the VEN was the perceived NR capture of the Phalanx (really the terrorist organization known as the RS).
After Effects[edit]
The capture of the Phalanx led to Kaph’s next mission to recapture it. This operation is also the first appearance of the RS which appears in later missions.
