Operational Location Details
Tikonov is a large arid world that has four major landmasses: Ufa in the northeast, Krasnodar in the southeast, Pskov in the southwest, and Kazan in the northwest. Tikograd, the capital of Tikonov, is located on Kazan. The largest, and most heavily industrialized city on the planet, Tikograd has long been divided into three areas: administrative, industrial and residential. Each section is separated from the others by its own walls and towers, with only a limited number of roads and subways connecting the three sections. Surrounding the whole complex is another series of walls and towers, though not as imposing as the inner ones.

The planet supports three major defense contractors: Earthwerks, Ceres Metals and Harcourt Productions. Tikograd is located northeast of the Ural Mountains, the capital and home to Earthwerks largest plant. Ceres Metals is located on Asano Bay outside the city of New Moscow on the northwest coast of Ufa. Tukwila Valley is a major agricultural center for Tikonov, and is located on the continent of Ufa due south of New Moscow. Harcourt Productions is located in the city of Tukwila. The Herosoma Mountains run diagonally across the continent providing all the ore needed for production.

Tikonov has a political past filled with turmoil, and has changed hands multiple times in just the last few decades.  It took eight RCTs to conquer the world in the 4th Succession War, and a much smaller force, with no small amount of guile and trickery, to reclaim it for the Capellan Confederation during the FedCom Civil War.  The most recent battle, just over two years ago, matched three AFFS RCT's and a Borodin's Vindicators against  Warrior House Dai Da Chi and a scratch provisional regiment.  It still took six weeks to secure the planet's main cities and industrial areas.

Employers Situation Report
The High Command wanted to free up Khorsakov's Cossacks for use elsewhere, and decided to use the nation's surplus 'mech production to build up new units from the mostly-untapped manpower resources of the systems surrounding Tikonov, with a smattering of recruits from the system itself.  MIIO knows the Maskirovka still has assets on planet.  Any assistance in revealing those assets will be rewarded.

Meanwhile, given the performance and loyalties of the original Republican Guard, the High Command wants to take no chances with these new formations' creation.  They want an experienced mercenary unit that can hold exercises with both new Guard regiments while the personnel division vets the loyalty of these new troops to a higher degree than is standard.  While the Vindicators keep a firm hold on Tikograd, the 2 Guards regiments have been assigned to the other two major manufacturing areas.  Transport is available to move any required units to the rolling hills and plains of the Pskov continent for mass training.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Hold large-scale training exercises with both Republican Guard regiments individually, and as a group, in a variety of terrains and locales. While doing so, provide any assistance requested by MIIO personnel in their continuing search for hostile agents. Should Tikonov come under attack, protecting the Ceres Metals plant located on Asano Bay outside the city of New Moscow on the northwest coast of Ufa will be the responsibility of the mercenary unit. An old Capellan base not too far from New Moscow has been refurbished to serve as the mercenaries' main staging area for the duration of the contract.


SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
