This is the eighteenth mission of Blue Planet: War in Heaven, the second campaign of the Blue Planet series. Blue Planet tells the story of the GTVA's return to Earth after constructing the Delta Serpentis portal, modeled on the Knossos devices. We occupy the character of Sublieutenant Noemi Laporte, recently inducted into the secretive Fedayeen and operating from the UEFg Masyaf. Admiral Steele is concentrating his fleet at Jupiter for his planned strike at Earth, and is in the process of abandoning the Neptune installations, no longer a critical GTVA position. The GTD Carthage is overseeing the evacuation. We intend to exploit Admiral Lopez's care for her subordinates a second time, this time to capture the Carthage. Admiral Calder has breveted Laporte as a Captain in Third Fleet, and wishes her to be the Fedayeen liaison for the operation. Two Narayana class frigates, the Vikrant and Toreador, will engage Lopez' fleet with long range artillery. Our task is to suppress key assets. The more damage we do, the more assets Admiral Calder will commit to the attack. We only have a few minutes to do as much damage as possible and call in the strike package to disable the Carthage before she gets away. Our primary objective is the destruction or capture of the Carthage. Secondarily we must seize the Neptune installation. Hammer of Light agents aboard the station have sabotaged its scuttling charges, and Marines are standing by to board the station, using paralytic gas to incapacitate the crew.
