Operation Aurora

The Battle of Ice Creek is a military engagement from the Usean Continental War.

Premise
Thanks to the destruction of the Stonehenge Turret Network in April, the northern regions of Usea were clear for the ISAF to safely advance. With this in mind, an maritime landing operation was devised to root out Erusean troops north of the continent.

Battle
At 02:00 AM, June 18, 2005, ISAF formally commenced the northern landing operation. As the mission began, ISAF satellite systems were able to visualize a cluster of cruise missiles flying through an ice creek in the south en route to the northern coastline. Their low altitude prevented further satellital surveillance, hence fighters were required to intercept said missiles.

At four minutes until 03:00 AM, ISAF ace Mobius One was sent on an interception mission at Ice Creek tasked with the destruction of the Erusean cruise missiles before their arrival to the northern coast. Mobius then quickly intercepted the first salvo of cruise missiles, dealing with an occasional multi-warhead projectile separating in mid-air. Shortly thereafter, a second batch entered the mission area, followed by a trio of F-22s. Even with their escort, the missiles were also destroyed one by one.

After the second salvo was disappeared from radar, shortly thereafter a final, lone warhead entered the local airspace. Unlike the previous targets, this one was extremely agile, constantly moving up and down & sideways in a sawtooth motion, which allowed it to easily avoide enemy fire. Regardless, Mobius One managed to keep up with the warhead and ultimately destroy it, thus setting its warhead off in a massive, blue fireball.

Result
After the destruction of the ballistic missile, ISAF pilot AWACS SkyEye sent a message confirming that no more missiles were confirmed on radar, and that the landing mission was a success. Most details of the landing mission itself, however, remain unknown.
