The Invasion of Geneva was a major attack orchestrated by the Settlement Defense Front against the United Nations Space Alliance during the early stages of the war against the SDF.
Prelude[]
A few years prior to the event, the SDF High Council ordered Akeel Min Riah to embark on a suicide mission to disable the UNSA's AATIS weapon system placed around the globe. After being smuggled to Earth by the SDF spy network, Riah assumed an altered identity and took a job as a civilian tech assigned to computer maintenance at the AATIS control tower in Geneva. Once he would gain control over the tower and use it to destroy the UNSA fleet, he could incinerate himself within it, along with an implanted transponder within him which would signal an "all-clear" to the SDF fleet, allowing them to invade Earth without having to worry about the AATIS system. About 18 hours ago, SDF soldiers attacked a weapons facility on Europa and managed to retrieve the data and used it to wake him up.
Background[]
Riah began his plan and took control of the AATIS guns and reprogrammed them to fire on the parade, quickly destroying many unprepared UNSA warships. This also allowed the large SDF fleet composed of multiple destroyers to jump in and deploy troops in armed Warden dropships, which began to indiscriminately mass murder civilians and military personnel alike while bombarding the already wrecked city and many UNSA forces, such as SCAR Team 1 and SATO Marine Corps fought the SDF throughout the city, taking out many SDF soldiers and C6 bots, however suffering many casualties. UNSA forces then regroup its forces and launch a counterattack, with the UNSA Eclipse and SCAR 3-1 provided air support as ground forces retook control of the AATIS guns and captured the sleeper agent, forcing the SDF to retreat into low orbit. The remaining 8 UNSA ships chased and destroyed the fleeing SDF invasion fleet as Jackals engaged deployed Skelters. In a last-ditch attempt to destroy the UNSA Navy, the SWSC-1 Olympus Mons jumps out of slipstream, and attacks the already depleted UNSA fleet, obliterating 6 destroyers with its F-SPAR. However, the Retribution initiated a tactical collision maneuver, damaging both ships to the point where the Olympus was forced to retreat. The UNSA was left with just the Retribution and Tigris.
Aftermath[]
Multiple personnel on the Retribution died as a result of the crash maneuver, including Captain John Alder and the XO. Making Reyes the commander of the ship. Admiral Raines gave the crew of the Ret and Tigris on their next mission, to reinforce the Lunar Gateway under attack from the SDF. Raines also promoted Reyes to Commander and made him the new captain of the Retribution. After that, news came on reporting that fighting has subsided and evacuation was underway as small pockets of fighting are ongoing.
