This event is now non-canon to the official story.
"This will be the end to everything Ghost stands for!" -Patche Shiki Iricanus in her briefing of the operation
Operation Skullside, also known as Skull, was an LDC assault on Sauthemptona's Oil Rig, an operational hideout of The Ghost Corps where Raph and Sarge were located at the time. The operation was planned and led by Lt. Gen Patche Shiki Iricanus with the LDC 22nd Specials Ops Command lending their 7th SFG and 8th SFG, Lunar Marine Corps lending their 3rd Company and the LCDFSD joining in led by Fare. Additionally, Lunar Air Force provided their 403rd Infantry and 405th Infantry to provide air support for the operation, playing a major role in breaking down The Ghost Corps' defense.

The operation was set out for time 1900 after dusk to use the cover of the dark for a surprise attack on Oil Rig's defense, which consist of several destroyers and patrol boats on water and a group of F-15 to intercept any incoming attack in the air from Sauthemptona. Lt. Gen Patche Shiki Iricanus along with MajGen Fare and Col. Kyle planned and created two team for the operation, Team 1 with the 7th SFG, 8th SFG, and LCDFSD being the assault group on ground and Team 2 with LMC 3rd Company and LAF 403rd and 405th Infantry being the scout and defender for team 1 in the air and water. The three officers went with the team on the operation with Patche joining team 1 and Fare and Kyle being on team 2. As time 1900 arrives, the operation started from Lukla (except for LMC who started from Grindavik on their ships to attack Oil Rig's water defense) where supplies and transport was provided by the Outlaw Enforcement. Five Blackhawks departed from Lukla and two AC-130 took off from Perth International with a squadron of F-16 escorting it. Team 1 was in the Blackhawks and Team 2 was in the AC-130s and F-16s. As LMC 3rd Company started the operation by initiating their attack on the Oil Rig's destroyers with their own destroyers and battleships, Sauthemptona was immediately notified of the attack and send out its emergency group of fighters to intercept any attack from the air. This caused a huge dogfight as Team 1 and Team 2 arrives at the airspace, leaving the squadron of F-16s to fight off the F-15 group. This left the Blackhawks vulnerable to attacks and it caused one of them to be struck down by enemies' stinger from the Oil Rig but most of the team from the struck down Blackhawk manage to parachute safely and deploy into Oil Rig, attacking the ground defense. The rest of the Blackhawks then deployed their men, and Patche Shiki Iricanus was among the soldiers, commanding the team to find Raph and Sarge.
The two AC-130s provided air support for Team 1 and help LMC destroy the destroyers and boats near Oil Rig as Team 2's fighter jets overpowers Sauthemptona's F-15s. The raid on Oil Rig seemingly went smooth as Team 1 had no trouble taking down the operatives on deck until Raph and Sarge started summoning The Ghost Corps' mutants and monsters to attack the team. This proves to be troublesome as some mutants self-destruct themselves, taking down many of Team 1's operatives but with some tactical strategy and a lot of grenades and smoke bombs, the rest of Team 1 manage to tear through the mutants to the main building on the Oil Rig, where Raph and Sarge were. Patche then ask the rest of the team to defend and scout the rest of Oil Rig while she and a few other operatives back her up to capture the two commanders behind the Oil Rig. As they went inside the building, they encountered more mutants but they were much stronger this time and it took a lot of shots before they went down, decking Patche's ammos down until she finally found Raph and Sarge. Except they weren't the real Raph or Sarge, they were clones and Patche didn't realize this until they both beat her and her backups down with their exosuit and almost kill them until Patche signal Fare to command the AC-130 to bomb the whole rig up. Seeing that the whole place was going down, the clones started making their escape but Patche held back the clone Raph and fight him until she broke his exosuit which spring-trapped him, killing him brutally. Clone Sarge manage to escape in a boat before the whole structure collapse by the AC-130's attack. By this point, LMC has cleared out all of Oil Rig's marine defense and Team 2 took care of Sauthemptona's F-15s, the only thing left was for the rest of Team 1 to be extracted from the destroyed and sinking Oil Rig. Fare and Kyle landed down on Oil Rig and helped the injured Patche to the Blackhawk, escaping the rig on time before it exploded. With that, LDC has completed and succeeded Operation Skullside, marking it down in the history book as the deadliest assaults on an oil rig. Although the true operation from Patche was not over as the real Raph and Sarge was still alive and out there. The rest of Team 1 and Team 2 returned back to Outlaw Enforcement base in Lukla with LMC returning back to their Grindavik base, concluding the operation.
