History[]
Second Galactic War[]
Operation Jet Crusade[]
On the 26th of June, 2185, a large-scale, coordinated Automaton offensive would be launched without warning, with the newly rebuilt 
Jet Brigade spearheading the assault. Reports from the field would confirm that not only had the rebuilt Jet Brigade have mastered propulsion of their heavy units, but was also greatly expanded in scope with two divisions -- one attacking Curia whilst the other assaulted Bekvam III.
The 
Automatons aimed to stretch the 
S.E.A.F. defensive perimeter to its breaking point, surround the Sagan Sector and then crush it. Both Curia and Bekvam III would fall on 27th, however thanks to the unwavering obedience in the initial, brutal engagements on the former planet, one of the Automatons mobile divisions would be crushed on Borea. The other would occupy Duma Tyr on the 28th and Oslo Station on the 29th -- cutting Gunvald and Borea off from the rest of the Federation.
However by now the Jet Brigade had overstretched it's supply lines and picked apart by the 
Helldivers, resulting in the Jet Brigade being finally defeated during their assault on Gunvald on the 30th of June. Despite this, what remained of the Sagan Sector remains cut off from the rest of the Federation, with efforts to reclaim Curia ongoing.
