	Enter the much rumoured Big Op. Admiral Netreba and [[Famous Persons in Blue Planet#Hans Maxwell Calder\|Admiral Calder]] have finalized their plans for a series of offensive operations, and have selected four frigates to be the core of a new task force to carry them out -- the ''Katana'', the ''Altan Orde'', the ''Yangtze'' -- and the ''Indus''. The task force has no official name, but many have taken to calling it Task Force Wargods after a certain captain's heroic battle cry.		Enter the much rumoured Big Op.

The task force has no official name, but many have taken to calling it Task Force Wargods after a certain captain's heroic battle cry.

	The first mission for TF Wargods is a risky, but very lucrative venture -- capturing the GTL ''Agincourt'', one of the two logistics vessels the GTVA has in the system. These ships act as mobile repair stations, allowing warships to be repaired, refueled, and rearmed without jumping all the way back to a rear-area base. In addition, the mobile nature of the logistics ships ~~allow it~~ to be used as a staging area for operations without giving the enemy a fixed location to target for a counterattack. Capturing the ''Agincourt'' will not only hamper Admiral Steele's operations in Sol, it will also allow 2nd and 3rd Fleets to conduct further offensives.

	Obviously, Admiral Steele is no fool, and knows the value of his logistics ships; if one of them cries for help, he will send his fleet to get it back. This makes securing it quietly a priority. When the Wargods jump in, the ''Indus'' and the ''Yangtze'' will flood the area with comms jamming and engage the warship escort while the [[UEF Kentauroi\|Kents]] and [[UEF Uriel\|Uriels]] splash the fighter escort and disable the engines on the ''Agincourt'' before it can jump out. Once that's done, a transport will jump in to secure the ''Agincourt'', and, if possible, jump it straight to [[Earth]].

	You can fly a Kent or an [[UEF Uhlan\|Uhlan]] for this mission, but the Kent is highly recommended for its greater speed and the ability to launch [[Paveway]]s.

	In any case, you'll start about 8 km or so from the ''Agincourt''. From this point, you will have five minutes game time to disable her before she jumps out. After a bit of dialogue, [[Famous Persons in Blue Planet#Karen Ng'Mei\|Ng'Mei]] will take Beta wing to engage the fighters while [[Famous Persons in Blue Planet#Lorna Simms\|Simms]] will take Cider and Warbird to take out the beam cannons on the warships, ordering you to help them out or cover them. Taking out the beams is pretty easy; usually one or two Paveways is enough to take out the beams. Defang the ''Siren'' first, as the corvette will rip a frigate apart. Remember that the warships have formidable anti-fighter defences, so don't get too close; approach from the front, Paveway a beam from maximum range, break, repeat.

	The best way to deal with the fighters is to not try and fight them near the warships; draw them back to the ''Indus'' and ''Yangtze'' instead, who will make short work of the fighters.

	After being disabled, the ''Agincourt'' reluctantly surrenders, and the Wargods will call in the UET ''Gloire'' to secure her. There will be some more dialogue here, and then the ''Agincourt'' will launch 3 [[GTF Atalanta\|Atalantas]] for you to deal with. This, however, is a distraction; the ''Agincourt'' is also launching 6 escape pods to jump home and send for help. Destroy the pods first, then the fighters before they jump.

	After the pods and fighters have been destroyed, the ''Gloire'' docks with the ''Agincourt'' and, after a bit more dialogue, you may fly into the fighter bay of the ''Indus'' to end the mission.

There is also some more dialogue here, which you may choose to listen to before flying into the fighter bay.

-U/C
+With [[Famous Persons in Blue Planet#Lorna Simms|Simms]] back in the saddle again, morale amongst Simms' squadron returns to normal. As this is happening, [[Famous Persons in Blue Planet#Chiwetel Steele|Admiral Steele]] has changed the pace of operations; while resupplying his fleet in Jupiter in preparation for a big push, his smaller ships stage several raids in Earth and Mars sectors, destroying fleet assets and keeping the pressure on.
