Campaign I · Spring — the coast

OPERATION TONDBAD

The day the squadron stopped taking orders.

The cold open

Spring, high noon, the Gulf of Simorgh.

The actual opening cinematic — captured from the game, not rendered for the trailer.

OPERATION TONDBAD Spring · Campaign I The admiral walks the plank, the sharks take the vote, and one battleship, one gunship, and every mixtape they could carry go to war with the regime that trained them.
The campaign

Raise the colors. Raise a base.

Spring — the Tondbad coast

THE MUTINY

Ferry the crew ashore, sling the first block tarps, and found a beachhead on the regime's own coast — mine, barracks, motor pool, and the radar that gives you back your map. Toofan-e shen dust walls march on the live wind, flash floods scour the wadi, and somewhere inland the regime holds a downed recon pilot the radio only calls VIPER. Blind the Marshal, cut the power, level Forward Command. By spring's end, the coast is ours.
