Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 - Soviets - Mission - 3 - Taking Back Ice Harbour
2The Imperial offensive towards Moscow had been stopped thanks to the efforts of the unnamed Soviet Commander, and the Soviet people had taken hope once more, steeling themselves for the fight ahead. Unfortunately, the war was far from over. Imperial forces still controlled much of the Soviet heartland, and the Red Army was largely bogged down trying to defend what remained. Moreover, much of the Red Navy had been destroyed or captured since the invasion began, and both Cherdenko and Krukov knew that if the war was to be won, then the Russians would need their mighty fleets ready to fight the invaders.
As such, the Commander and his faithful ally Zhana Agonskaya were sent to the frozen harbor of Vladivostok, home of the Soviet Pacific Fleet. The Empire had captured this vital staging ground during the initial days of the invasion, and hundreds of Soviet vessels lay damaged or abandoned within its confines, even as the ambitious Crown Prince Tatsu monitored the course of the war from his palace built at the heart of the city. The port was being used by the Empire as a supply depot, with hundreds of ships and aircraft delivering additional supplies and reinforcements weekly to fuel the march of the Emperor's armies. If the port could be retaken and the Imperial forces eliminated, then the Soviets would be able to bring their naval forces back online, as well as cut off this vital supply line of the Empire.
