Operation Leviathan Down

Operation Leviathan Down was the Agathos Reform Coalition code name for the Battle of Ravenhold, where a combined ARC and Filonian force sought to prevent the USC from advancing further into the Agathonian interior. The USC fielded the majority of the 1st Army Group against the defenders, supported by the MARCS-class chip Salvation. Allied forces fielded roughly an army-sized collection of units from a variety of coalition factions, also with MARCS-class support in the form of the Reconciliation. Overall troop count saw allied forces outnumbered approximately three-to-one. DGCL rangers were used heavily in the course of the battle, particularly during Operation Ruby Fall, the sub-operation code name for a large airborne effort that saw several regiments placed behind enemy lines in an attempt to commandeer AAA assets to target the Salvation.

Members of Seraph Squad, at least at the outset of the battle, were attached to the UFPF's newly formed 1st Airborne Regiment. They executed a HALO jump using conventional parachutes. While heavy casualties were taken by the regiment as a whole (as well as other airborne units), Seraph Squad landed scattered across battle sector Ro-303 with only minor injuries. The squad fought or evaded small USC infantry detachments that had been sent to intercept them and rendezvoused at the hamlet square of Quibham.

Seraph Squad continued to nearby Gotham Park where their primary target, a portable AAA battery similar to the Black Widow, was installed. After reconnoitering the area the rangers round a small USC fire base had been setup to defend the most obvious angles of attack, as well as a sniper hidden atop a nearby Ferris Wheel. Launching their attack, Seraph Squad called for an artillery strike on the Ferris Wheel, but it was intercepted by the AAA battery. The ranger Nexus was able to dispatch the commanding NCO with a long range rail gun shot, however.
