Siege of Remnant

The Siege of Remnant was a major battle that took place on the Opposition fortress world of Remnant, particularly the largest fortress on the world, the Salkire Fortress. The battle was one of the final battles fought in the whole Human-Alien Conflict, serving as a major turning point that would ultimately bring the war to its conclusion. The battle is featured in the Zombies and Extinction crossover map titled "Siege of Remnant" in Call of Duty: Eclipse Warfare.
== Overview ==
Three days prior on April 11th, 2254, "Athena", Alain Bourden, Jack McMack and Brian Thompson, the four survivors of the Fort New Trinity outbreak, fought the Coil Arms Division leader Tom McPhillian within the Mines of Despair on Fidea VI. In an attempt to stop the Coil Arms Division once and for all, Brian Thompson made the ultimate sacrifice and stayed behind in the collapsing mines to deal with McPhillian while the others escaped, resulting in both Brian and McPhillian's deaths. Back on the surface, the other three lament over Brian's sacrifice when they get a priority call from the field commander of the Galactic Council of Alliances via "Athena"'s transponder. The team informs them about the success of their mission, but at the cost of Brian's life. The field commander expresses his sorrows over Brian's death, but informs the group that they have a priority mission, informing them that a special ops team was about to invade a large Opposition fortress on Remnant and that they are to assist them. The team then boards their spaceship and proceeds to set coordinates for Remnant.
At Remnant, the three remaining survivors meet the 7th Special Operations Division, led by Captain Andrew Peterson. Peterson welcomes the team and informs them of the mission; they are to clear a path into the fortress and activate a beacon on the roof in order to signal Eclipse Military reinforcements to arrive and help secure the fortress. The newly formed team enters a village below the fortress, which held the main gate into the fortress. In the village, the team encounters zombies, to which startles the 7th Special Operations Division, but unfazes the other three, saying they've been dealing with zombies for the past three years.
While clearing the village and searching for a way to open the main gate, the other three ask the 7th Special Operations Division what they've been doing. Corporal Travis Holland tells them they've been battling an alien race known as the Kormans, telling them that they were their prisoners within a prison in the orbit of Korma for two years before they escaped, eventually ending up where they are now. Eventually, the group manages to open the main gate and proceeds up Hill 174. There, they are airdropped a drill and are tasked with clearing the hill, which has several hives covering it. Along the way, they encounter the Kormans. After clearing the hives and entering a bunker, the team finally reaches Salkire Fortress. Lowering the drawbridge into the fort, the team fights both the Kormans and zombies, both of which have teamed up to stop the team. The team manages to destroy two AA guns within the fort before ascending to the roof, where they manage to activate the beacon. After holding off against waves of zombies and Kormans, the Eclipse Military arrive, raising a flag of the Galactic Council of Alliances flag on a nearby flag pole, signifying the capture of the fortress.
As the group celebrates their victory on the roof, the Galactic Council of Alliances' spaceship armada then arrives. There, John Barstow himself exits a landing shuttle and congratulates the seven for their efforts, saying that their efforts has brought them practically to the end of the war, saying that within the next couple of weeks, he will sign a peace treaty and officially end the conflict, much to the delight of the seven.
