PLANETARY DETAILS:
Verdigreis lies on the border
of the Federated Suns next to the Taurian Concordat, an area that has been
highly contested over the last decade. During the most recent conflict,
Verdigreis was conquered by the Clean Kill Battalion, a mercenary unit
working for Taurus. They also invaded Montour, but were kicked off of that
world by the Davion counterattack. When the Federated troops showed up to
take back Verdigreis as well, the Clean Kill fled.
Unfortunately, the Taurian occupiers did not flee with them. To the
contrary, they announced their intentions to stay with much gusto, releasing
word that they had planted nuclear warheads in the planet's three largest
cities, and would detonate them if Davion troops attempted to make landfall.
In attempt to defuse the pressure, New Avalon has sworn that no Federated
Suns troops will attempt to land. The Taurian government has disavowed all
responsibility for the situation, but that hasn't changed the situation one
iota.
Since that time, the 1st Royal Cavaliers have blockaded the planet using
their aerospace elements. However, the Taurians are too well equipped for a
special forces attack alone to get the job done, and New Avalon doesn't want
the black mark of going back on their word in such a risky situation.
Federated Suns militia still control 90% of the planet, so this contract is
deemed a security duty. However, an insertion onto the planet must include
an element of stealth. The Taurians do not have full sensor coverage of the
spaceways, but they do monitor the major jump points.
INTEL: The Concordat troops include a full armored battalion, and infantry
regiments, and a company of second-line battlemechs, spread out over three
cities. The accepting MuCo should contact the Ambassador for further
details.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Capture as many Taurians as
possible, and keep them alive for a war crimes trial.
2) After any identified Taurian
forces have been removed, maintain a presence in the system, with a focus on
determining whether or not any undercover Concordat agents may have been
infiltrated during the occupation. If any are found, capture or eliminate
them.
