Mission 07A
Standoff in the Skies I

Operation Briefing
I'll now go over the details of our mission to retake Santa Elva, a city vital to the enemy's transportation network. If we succeed in retaking the city, our capital Griswall will be within reach.

It seems that the damage the Gleipnir bore from our attack over Terminus Island is being repaired here in Santa Elva.

The previous attack was proof enough of individual fighters to effectivly strike at the Gleipnir, so all ground forces that run the risk of becoming a target will hold their position here.

Enemy ground forces are most likely prepared for any kind of assault, but with the Gleipnir unable to fly, now is the time to strike.

Even the Gleipnir wouldn't risk killing their own troops stationed at the base by firing their short range cannon.

It looks like there's no escape for them this time, sir.

Operation Debriefing
The Gleipnir is no more! Shortly after our victory, ground forces successfully retook Santa Elva. The Santa Elva victory is fantastic news, but even more so, the defeat of the Gleipnir is sure to push our morale and give us a strategic advantage in this war. The next stop is Griswall. We've already got so far, sir.
