Destruction of Opera House

"There she is. That's Opera House, their massive drilling base."

- Ulrich Olsen

The Battle of Gunther Sound was a conflict that took place in the Gunther Sound.

Prelude
After the success of Operation Anchorhead Freedom, intelligence analyzed data obtained during the battle and discovered a facility southeast of Anchorhead that served as a fuel base. The destruction of this base would deal a major blow to the rebels' fuel supply. In preparation for the assault, Scarface Squadron received two new pilots, John Herbert and Kei Nagase; it was up to Phoenix which one would be his co-pilot.

Battle
At 1000 hrs, Scarface Squadron entered the airspace over Gunther Sound and began their attack on the base. The squadron faced some resistance from anti-air defenses and enemy fighters, but they were eventually able to neutralize all enemy forces and destroy the ocean drilling facility.

Result
The fuel base, codenamed Opera House, was captured as a result of the operation. The loss of a major source of fuel would be a major blow to the rebels' strength.
