Operation Silent Prophet

Operation Silent Prophet was an ostensible combat mission undertaken by Seraph Squad of the DGCL in the closing month of AE 241. The main objective was to delay the USC advance in the Arthenian plain to support civilian evacuation. In practice this morphed into an effort to rally broken senate forces and rebuild a chain of command from which to operate an independent senate army under the Agathos Reform Coalition.

Seraph Squads first action was to secure additional logistics support from the Eleytheros Pteros Episke. Speaking with the supply chief, , the squad organized a fleet of Pteros-owned supply trucks for the project, and ordered a call for volunteers to provide personal vehicles to the effort.

After reinforcing the evacuation efforts, Seraph Squad traveled to the southern front and met with FEDINT/Kingslayer intelligence to familiarize with the situation. They found that Senate forces were disorganized and scattered across the Arthenian plain, and the chain of command had broken down with the exile of Senate High Command along with the political leadership. Strategos Eleythos had instituted a standing offer to these forces could join the ARC battle line as Free Companies if they would swear an oath to enforce the outcome of the future peace conference.

Few Senate units had thus far taken the deal, but Seraph Squad organized a meeting of the unit leaders to help elect a Commander-in-Chief for the Senate-in-exile forces. They selected Major Emir von Ducalstock, the most senior officer by rank and seniority.

Seraph Squad then conducted a recon-in-force mission with Senate free company elements, attempting find locations to contact Ducalstock through the battlefield jamming. After some difficulty, they arranged a face-to-face meeting, but then got word that RANGECOM was under attack by USC special forces. Weighing their options, Seraph Squad decided to return to Fort Vigil to help with the defense, leaving the Senate forces to continue onto the meeting with Ducalstock.
