The Battle of the Azorian Valley was an operation conducted by private military contractor James Solomon under ONI on the planet of Terceira to destroy six Paris-class heavy frigates being used in human trafficking and slaving operations.[1]
Background
With the rise of the Created, the UEG's presence on the planet had faded once more, allowing another conflict to take root and slaving operations to hit the colonists of the world. The Office of Naval Intelligence would hire James Solomon to destroy six stolen Paris-class heavy frigates being used to acquire some of those slaves in 2559.[1]
For the three months[2] leading up to November 5, 2559, Lola and James were involved in an anti-slavery operation on the colony world of Terceira. Solomon had been tasked by ONI with dispatching five Paris-class heavy frigates that were conducting human trafficking across the planet. During the mission, Lola remote-piloted James' Shearwater aerodyne, allowing him to board one of the frigates and plant explosives on it. The original mission called that, once James had jumped out of the Shearwater to board the frigate, Lola would remotely pilot the craft to rest just above the Dalamask River below, trailing the frigate convoy at a distance.[1]
However, once James was spotted by the frigates' Janissary defenders, Lola began using the Shearwater's Anvil-III missiles to provide air support while James completed his mission. After planting the charge on the sixth frigate, Lola used the Shearwater to pick James up, granting him control of the aircraft and allowing him to escape as the frigates detonated and plummeted into the valley below. Lola's interference in the mission was unprompted, something she reasoned as necessary as James could not collect his pay if he was dead; however, James countered that he had wanted Lola away from the combat zone to ensure that even if he was killed, she could still remotely detonate the charges.[1] After returning to Cataphract, James ordered Lola to return the prowler to Far Isle while he slept. The ship arrived on November 8, with Lola managing the ship's reentry into the planet amidst its busy civilian orbital traffic. During the downtime she attempted to uncover more information on the Janissary supersoldiers that James had encountered on Terceira, though was unable to find much due to them still being under active investigation by ONI.
On November 5, 2559, James used his Shearwater to conduct covert reconnaissance of a group of six corporate-controlled Paris-class heavy frigates operating on Terceira. The frigates were involved in human trafficking and slaving operations, something which he had been tasked with stopping. The Spartan used his Shearwater to counter the frigates' sensors and land on the deck of the trailing frigate, allowing him to plant charges on the various ships of the flotilla and ultimately destroy them. During the mission, after he was engaged by corporate mercenaries and Janissaries, Lola remote-piloted the Shearwater to provide air support for James.[1]
At least four janissaries served as security for a group of slavers operating six stolen Paris-class heavy frigates on Terceira. When ONI sent private military contractor James Solomon to destroy the ships on November 5, 2559, the janissaries attacked, but were killed by James with help from his AI Lola.[1]
The Operation
The six frigates were being moved through the Azorian Valley close to the ground to avoid detection from UEG orbital sensors and security satellites.
