Operation Myrmidon

While the Alpha Clan operation to obliterate the Zeta Clan and seize their naval resources as a huge success, a sizable
portion of the Zeta high command is able to flee to the island of Haiphe which had long served as a Zeta airbase. 
Realizing that experienced Dragoons will be
needed for the coming invasion of Roommenor, the Alpha Clan decides the better
way to deal with the Zeta remnants is with an aggressive bombing campaign and
pounding the island to dust. Dubbed Operation Myrmidon, it begins roughly one
month after the official defeat of the Zeta Clan.
Poor intelligence on the
Alpha Clan’s part fails to identify the flak defenses, as well as the new SAM systems installed after Zeta forces fled to Haiphe. The inaugural operation
is destructive but too costly on the part of the attackers and Alpha Clan
headquarters decides to relegate their operations to night raids. However the
beleaguered Zeta defenders have since imported pilots from across their prior
territory all in a desperate gamble to shame the Alpha Clan enough to get them
to leave the island alone. 
Operation Myrmidon drags on for nearly three months
with mounting losses on the Alpha Clan side. However there are no subsequent
reinforcements or relief troops for the exhausted and besieged Zeta forces and
eventually they are forced to surrender.
