Assault on the Chandelier

Anean Continential War
After repelling the crusie missile attack at Gracemeria, the Emmerians found the location of the attack. From the ocean, on the Sonne Island. Wanting to put and end to the war as soon as possible, the Garuda squadron, Avalanche squadron, Windhover squadron, Skykid squadron, Stingray squadron, and Ghost eye, headed towards the island, at full speed. While heading towards the weapon, Mellisa Hermens contacted them, and gave them the intel that Victor Voycheck held, giving the Emmerians vital data on how to defeat the weapon. The odds were heavily stacked against the Emmerians. The Chandilier was covered with multiple AA weaponry, the remains of the Estovakian navy was supporting it, and they had 7 Strigon aircraft, and 24 F-22/Su-47 stealth aircraft defending it. Undetered, the Emmerians fought hard, trading pot shots with the Estovakian defenses, loosing several aircraft, and to make matters worse, they had to break off their attacks, and destroy a crusie missile, as it was being loaded. Thanks to the Garuda team, all defenses, ships, aircraft, and cooling units were destroyed.

This was not so. Another cooling unit was revealed to be in the fortress, at the end of the loading chute. Braving heavy fire, Shamrock went into the chute, suffering heavy damage, being forced to bail out. Talisman followed his wingman's route, flew into the chute, taking out the cooling unit. Just as victory seemed at hand, the Estovakians had one more trick up their sleeves. With the barrol oppening up to cool itself, Garuda 1 flew into the cannon, blowing away the back end. The cannon collapsed, signaling the end of the war.
