Attack on Fortress Intolerance
- "This mission decides it all, Phoenix. We're counting on you."

The attack on Fortress Intolerance was an offensive operation that focused on neutralizing the last members of the Usean Rebel Forces at Fortress Intolerance.[1][2]
Prelude
The remaining leaders of the Usean Rebel Forces that escaped the capture of Saint Ark retreated to Fortress Intolerance, which was a launch facility for Intercontinental ballistic missiles that was thought to be abandoned. They planned to launch ballistic missiles at Yuktobania in an attempt to start a war and escape during the chaos. Scarface Squadron was assigned to neutralize the threat.[2]
Battle
At 0900 hrs, Scarface Squadron entered the airspace near Fortress Intolerance and was intercepted by Zone of Endless. After a fierce fight, the Z.O.E. craft was shot down for the last time, and Scarface Squadron continued to move towards Fortress Intolerance. To weaken the fortress's defenses, they destroyed several power generators. Once the defenses were weakened, the squadron attacked several weak points to force the rebels to open the front shutter, which Scarface exploited to enter the fortress and destroy the ICBM.[2]
Result
The destruction of the ICBM resulted in Fortress Intolerance exploding, which killed everyone that remained inside. Any officers that were not killed in the explosion were detained. With the loss of its leadership, the remaining members of the Usean Rebel Forces surrendered, and the Usean coup d'état came to a close. [2]
