Operation Fractured Threshold

Situation

Following the possible reactivation of the Pandora Research Facility in the Merak region, three armed entities have converged on the area under conflicting pretenses. The facility is believed to contain sensitive technology and data related to the 2026 breach and potentially linked to the 2027 Veil Event. The world is fragmenting. Each actor seeks control, denial, or destruction.

• Blackstone Security has been contracted by the U.S. Government to recover all sensitive materials (if any), neutralize hostiles, and secure the area.

• Cossack Security Forces, operating under private contract from powerful Russian elites, have been deployed to secure the site and prevent Western acquisition.

• 34th Independent Shock Brigade, a state-inserted force denied by the Russian government, is already in the AO with unknown orders. They are considered hostile to all parties.

The environment is hostile, the enemy is unclear, and all factions are acting independently without coordination or communication.
