This new BETA strain was engaged by elements of the Soviet Army, including the 211 Batalon Zhar.
Unnamed BETA strain at the Evensk battle.Ī new BETA form was also sighted at the Evensk Hive, on the Kamchatka Peninsula, that boasted superior range and attack capability over all land-based and Laser/ Heavy Laser-class BETA strains. It is unclear if they survived the landing however, since the game implies that, save for the A-01, the entire attacking force was all but wiped out by the lasers.Īll assaults were carried out with orbital bombing followed by a land-based attack, with Hives closer to the sea coming under naval gunfire salvos as well. Since the secondary objective involving capturing the G-Elements in the Kashgar Hive was considered suicidal, the 00 Unit tampered with the other forces' data in order to redirect them back out of the Kashgar Hive and away from danger. Secondary assault forces, which were intended to draw out the BETA's forces and attention away from the Kashgar Hive, included members of the Soviet Union, European Union, Middle Eastern Coalition, African Union, COSEAN, Unified Front of China, and other non-aligned national militaries, against the Hives directly closest to the Defence Lines encompassing the Eurasian/Asian continents. This was a huge improvement over the original plan, which called for A-01 to be assigned with leftover F-4J Gekishin and F-15J Kagerou units in Yokohama Base. This was because the 19 th IRG IGF were prevented from participating directly, as it was strictly a UN operation, despite the fact they were in possession of some of the few remaining functional TSFs at Yokohama Base. The primary assault group consisted of the XG-70d Susanoo IV, escorted by the remaining active members of STF A-01 outfitted with three Type-00As and one Type-00F of the Type-00 Takemikazuchi-series, lent to them by the Imperial Japanese Royal Guard's 19 th Independent Guard Flight, with the addition of one Type-00R Takemikazuchi given by the Shogun to 2 nd Lieutenant Mitsurugi Meiya. Despite the heavy losses suffered by UN forces and STF A-01 during Operation 21 st on December 25 th, and the following Defence of Yokohama Base on December 29 th, UN command decided to execute Operation Ouka in order to take advantage of new data retrieved by the 00 Unit, before the BETA could adapt to the 00 Unit's two-way mental link with the BETA hivemind and extract more information about humanity's defence. The operation itself was rushed ahead of schedule, with the remainder of Special Task Force A-01, and their remaining XG-70d Susanoo IV being the core of the strategy.
