"There she is. That's Opera House, their massive drilling base."

― Ulrich Olsen

The destruction of Opera House was a conflict that took place in Gunther Bay during the Usean coup d'état.

Prelude

After the success of Operation Anchorhead Freedom, intelligence analyzed data obtained during the battle and discovered a facility southeast of Anchorhead that served as a fuel base. The destruction of this base would deal a major blow to the rebels' fuel supply. In preparation for the assault, Scarface Squadron received two new pilots, John Herbert and Kei Nagase; it was up to Phoenix which one would be his co-pilot.

Battle

At 1000 hrs, Scarface Squadron entered the airspace over Gunther Bay and began their attack on the base. The squadron faced some resistance from anti-air defenses and enemy fighters, but they were eventually able to neutralize all enemy forces and destroy the ocean drilling facility.

Result

The fuel base, codenamed Opera House, was captured as a result of the operation. The loss of a major source of fuel would be a major blow to the rebels' strength.
