Welcome to Gaia! ::

((This is an official mission. If you are currently in another "official" mission you may not enter this one, though you are still permitted to continue in un-official player started missions.))

Familiarize yourself with the story Shadow of Sol.

Our long range observatories discovered something very strange in the asteroid belt! Several mobile suits that have mysteriously gone missing over the years have been spotted there! Not only that but military satelites with armed nukes have been spotted! This is a clear violation of the Antartic Treaty! Should even one of those nukes hit Earth or a colony, the destruction would be horrendous!

We need you to venture out to the asteroid belt and find out what the hell is going on!

Be very careful! It has been confirmed that the mobile suits are still working, despite the fact that their pilots must be long dead by now.


The NT Jammer might be able to disable G.H.O.S.T's control over the mobile suits for a moment.. But it would quickly adapt and take control again. You can only use it once, and it will only disable the suits for 5 seconds.

Misssion Objective:
Destroy all the military satelites(5) before they have a chance to launch any nukes, take out the defence system and mobile suits protecting the G.H.O.S.T probe, destroy the G.H.O.S.T probe to disable its control over the mobile suits.

Difficulty:
Extreme

Requirements:
You must be a registered mobile suit pilot, and currently possess an operational space mobile suit. You must also have a rank of at least Rank 1 or higher! Powerful mobile suits are recommended because you will be swamped with enemies and need lots of speed to destroy each satelite in the allotted time! ((Rank 1 is achieved when you have finished 3 official missions.))

Enemies and Stats:
x 17
RGM-79 GM
180 turn: 1.6 seconds
Sensor radius: 6000 meters
Armament: 60mm vulcan gun x 2, beam saber, beam spray gun
Notes: Mass-produced version of the RX-78 Gundam. In order to reduce its cost, the GM omits the Gundam's expensive Luna Titanium armor, Core Block system, and spare beam saber, and substitutes a short-range beam spray gun for the Gundam's beam rifle.

x 24
MS-05 Zaku I
180 turn: 2.9 seconds
Sensor radius: 2900 meters
Armament: 105mm machine gun, 280mm bazooka, heat hawk
Notes: The Zaku I is the original incarnation of the Zaku, produced a few years before the start of the war. Now considered obsolete, it's used only by non-combat units like the supply corps.

x 4
MS-09R Rick Dom
180 turn: 2.1 seconds
Sensor radius: 5400 meters
Armament: heat saber, 360mm giant bazooka, scattering beam gun
Notes: With the development of the MS-14 Gelgoog far behind schedule, the Zeon military decided to adapt the land warfare mobile suit Dom for space combat. The result is the Rick Dom, in which the jet engines that give the Dom its hovering capabilities are replaced by rockets. Otherwise, it's basically the same as the land version - a fast, heavily-armored mobile suit armed with a devastating bazooka. By the end of the war, the Rick Dom has all but replaced the Zaku II in the ranks of Zeon's space forces.

x 5
Nucleaur Armed Military Satelite
180 turn: N/A
Sensor radius: N/A
Armament: Nuke Warhead
Notes: 15 posts after destroying one satelite, another satelite will launch a nuke. Make sure to destroy all 5 within 15 posts of each other. It shouldn't take that long to get to each and every satelite though.

x 1
G.H.O.S.T
180 turn: N/A
Sensor radius: N/A
Armament: N/A
Notes: Not much is known about the G.H.O.S.T probe other than it has Newtype abilities. It probably won't put up much of a fight itself, however it controls an entire army of mobile suits to do its fighting for it.

Time:
Destroy each Military Nuke Satelite within 15 posts of the last satelite's destruction, No overall max post limit.

Number of Positions Available for this Mission:
The team will consist of 3 space capable MS/MA/Cruisers. Once you are finished boarding your MS and report to the launch bay you will be permitted to launch. ((The Posts don't begin to count until "after" you have launched.))
Registered pilots:
arrow -x_El_Chingon_x-
arrow -~]Daret[~-
arrow -EggRollz-
((BlackKingX will not take part on the mission))

Reward:
100 points per pilot, 50 Junk Tokens, Helment/Mask(Fashionable Helmet/Mask like Char Aznable's, it would go in the Inventory section of your hanger.)

((I just completed 2 missions totaling to 3, only thing is, I dont know if my MS is space capable so if not I will withdraw unless I could place a Gelgoog purchase and just say I have it for this mission but Im still paying and getting it.))
"Daret reporting for duty sir, piloting my MS-06FZ ZakuII."

"The sun... it now only a speck in the darkness of space. How I have forgotten the warmth of the sun." were the thoughts of Adler as he looked out of the ship's bridge. "I hope I can hitch a ride with those who are returning home. I don't want to spend my time in Axis." he said as he made his way to his MA.

((When does this mission take place chronologiclly? I suppose near the end of the war since I'm seeing GM's and Rick Doms. Also since the trip to the astroid belt would be half an year or less we won't be able to fight in A Baoa Qu or even be home in time to do anything but surrender. cry



Edit by BlackKingX: No... Actual time doesn't pass anymore.. This guild will never move forward in the timeline.. So you could easily go to pluto with no time passing.. sweatdrop ))

Eggy launched and proceeded toward the asteroid belt. "Maybe I should be behind you guys since I'm the heavy artillery?" He slowed down, allowing his comrades to get ahead of him.

Alder was last to launch but in no hurry to get to the location. His massive Bigro zipped pass Eggy and Daret thanks to its speed. Hit and Run were the words that could describe the MA. Its speed and weapons could take down a vessel down before they even knew what hit them. With its 24 missles and mega particle cannon it could take on a fleet on its own. Well thats what Adler thought.

Adler did a barrel roll to dodge the incoming fire. The only thing he had to worry about where the GM's. Those beam weapons were pretty dangerous at close range. "Should I start scattering Minovsky particles?" he asked as he put on he took of his helment. Without a helment his vision wasn't as impaired when the helmet was on but it did mean if his cockpit got hit he was surely screwed.

Quickly adjusting the thrusters, I dodge between the beams. Pulling the sniper rifle from its back rack and placing the machine gun on its.
"For surely I can hit one of them from here..." Dodging between the beams I try aiming. A lock and I fire. The round screams from teh barrel as it smacks aginast a GMs shield. A giant hole is placed in the middle of it and the GM body is pierced. The bullet had ripped its way throught eh GM and pierced its generator. It grew unstable and exploded.
"Hm... A luck shot." A beam flies by me and clips my right shoulder only taking a small part of the plating off.
"Damn I didnt see that one.... So whats the game plan?"
