Operation Next

WIP!

Operation Next was a offensive campaign led by Rau Le Creuset to attack the Heliopolis Research Facility. During production of the Gospel Mk. II, the Alliance For God wanted to steal the mobile suits developed in the Heliopolis Research Facility to gather info and stop the Colonial Federation from producing strong weaponry that could turn the tables of the war. Army forces were also launched to the Israel Space Belt to cut off the supply source of the research facility.

The operation was regarded as a failure by the Alliance For God due to the fact that the one unit of the Duel XMS-01 was destroyed during combat, and that the other was piloted by John Strasbourg, defending the facility from armed forces currently coming in. The Israel Space Belt did receive minor damage, however most of the damage was to be repaired.

Pre-cursor
Before the operation was launched, the idea was proposed by Rau Le Creuset. He wanted forces of the prototype unit Gospel Mk. II and sniper artillery to launch and cut off supply from the Israel Space Belt. The plan was designed to be a get-in-and-go mission to surprise the enemy and leave before they could react. Rau also proposed a sniper variant of the Gospel for special use in these missions. The plan in its original form was then sent to Vlad Stanislava for verification.

Vlad made minor changes to the plan's draft. Vlad replaced the snipers with regular Gospels, for they didnt have enough funds to make a variant. He also increased the artillery, and added troops that would go in and hijack any mobile weapons found. Rau insisted with the former plan, but eventually accepted the new draft.

The operation was set go on April 6th. the Le Creuset Team was founded by Rau for specially trained solders under the Alliance For God Special Forces. Pre-production units of the new Gospel's were produced and set in motion.
