This is an official announcement of the start of Operation: Darting Finch, another Combined Arms Wargame and Technology Trial centered in MHC-R3, sponsored by House Brezia, The Round Table Assembly, Wolf Brothers INC, the United Neopian Federation, and regional distribution offices of Quafe and Starsi have thrown in as tentative co-sponsors with the stipulation that the ‘Teams’ of any given engagement, land, air, sea, and space being ‘Team Quafe’ and ‘Team Starsi’ respectively.
The Wargame will run from Today, May 5th until the morning of May 30th.
Deployment zones will be more limited for this wargame, being focused primarily on planets II, III, and IV, with some combat trials and sub-operations taking place on moons, minor orbital installations, and the ring system of planet VII.
Also on showcase will be a number of Warclone adjacent cloning techniques for non-combat focused roles using fifth lobe and subcompact TEBS technologies.
Pre-configured warbarge conversions for various Freighters, Deep Space Transports, and more will be available for use by clone mercenary and pilot units, as well as refurbished Cestus and Charon(not to be confused with the freighter) class Mobile Command Centers and pre-configured Destroyer conversions for use as well.
Clone Pilot Entities will have access to basic fightercraft, as well as the Strix II and Jackal II series advanced craft patterns, but all other advanced craft previously showcased remain on indefinite recall.
As in previously hosted wargames, all basic equipment and biomass will be furnished by the sponsoring entities, but advanced materials will either need to be self-supplied or purchased from a sponsor.
Gwennan Class Warbarges will again be on showcase, as well as a handful of older Amaterasu class Ishukone Corporate Scale Warbarges, and various pertinent weapons and armor technologies.
Warbarge conversion kits(for Freighters, Carriers, DSTs, and more), MCC conversion kits for destroyer class hulls, and Warclone Team Deployment Ship Conversion Kits for frigate and stealth bomber hulls will be available to purchase through Alta ShipWorks and Moltaran FleetWorks for the duration of the Wargame
