Operation Alien Overlord

[edit] Military Objectives
The primary objectives of the operation were to establish a communications uplink, destroy the planetary defense systems of Stroggos, disable the interplanetary gateway, and assassinate the Makron commander. Once the communication link was made, subsequent communications would guide troops to their primary targets, destroy targets of opportunity, and provide necessary ground support for the follow-up air strike.
[edit] Communications Uplink
The first objective of the invasion force was to establish an uplink between command and the Strogg communication computers. These were in the exterior military base south of the main capital of Cerberon. This would enable continued communications, location information, and combat analysis beyond the base complex. Failure to establish this uplink was not an option.
[edit] Destroy the Big Gun
From the base the marines were to make their way past the security systems and move north to destroy the Big Gun located on the southern outskirts of the city. Further intel was to provide information to achieve this objective.
[edit] Disable the Gateway
Third objective of the invasion was to disable the interplanetary gateway between Earth and Stroggos. Shutting down the gateway would prohibit the Strogg from launching further attacks against Earth. The hazards of getting stranded in an alien star system light years away from Earth were recognized by strategic command; "It may be a long sleep back".
[edit] Assassinate the Makron
The final objective of the operation was to locate the Strogg commander somewhere within the capital palace.
