Battle of New Gibraltar [Mission]

Map: New Gibraltar - 7/23/2082
Gamemode: Dogfight (1 phases)
Invaders: Pirates of Tripoli
Defenders: The Alliance of West Sahara and the Rising Sun

It has been twelve days since pirates hailing from northern Africa, under orders of the self-proclaimed "Pirate King of Tripoli," laid siege to, and sacked, Thaelaib City, the capital of the Kingdom of West Sahara. The old and ailing King Mezian III, already on his deathbed, perished, having detonated a bomb smuggled to him by a member of his staff under cover of darkness; he took with him fifty four pirates, and the pirate King's chief warlord Zahar, all whilst his two eldest sons, Amir and Shujae-Min, retook the city in an unprecedented counter-attack the likes of which the world had not seen in well over a century.

Grand Admiral Hisao Matsumoto of the Rising Sun Imperial Navy, after having been informed of these tragic happenings, cancelled his return trip to the Japanese isles, and immediately made haste for the West Saharan coast, to aid in the counter-offensive and prevent the barbary filth from being able to escape the city.

After consolidating the West Saharan Royal Navy, and joining forces with Admiral Matsumoto's expeditionary force, the combined fleet of some thirty warships and over three hundred fighter jets and planes (to include numerous jets leased to Matsumoto to replace those he'd lost at Thaelaib) set sail for Tripoli.

However, as they would soon find, the vital, yet fledgling port of New Gibraltar was under immanent threat of conquest. The peninsula-turned-island was in the mid-stages of recolonization, thanks to efforts of the West Saharans, and it provided one half of THE most vital strategic point in all of Afro-Eurasia, being the chokehold that determined who could leave or enter the Mediterranean.

Some twenty five fighters were stationed at Gibraltar, but they would not have to face the incoming pirate threat alone, so long as they could hold out long enough for the navy to arrive.

Twelve days since they were attacked. Eleven since the King's death. Ten since they valiantly retook their homeland. Nine days since the eldest Prince, Amir, was hastily crowned King. Eight since two fleets made one set sail on a course of vengeance. Seven since reports of the enemy massing on the island of Palma. Six since the weather took a turn for the better and the skies cleared themselves. Five days since the scourge of the sea set out for Gibraltar. Four, three, two, days until they would meet.

And then, one day, they did. The battle that ensued was glorious; a victory ten-fold more decisive than the first one was soon to be at hand.
