Labor Day Weekend Special Operation

The was a covert operation carried out by the Confederate Inquisition on Konira in to end the Koniran Civil War by capturing Settram, the leader of the rebellion.
== Background ==
In the aftermath of the Kirvan Abbey Incident on Konira, the Confederate Inquisition was able to use intelligence from Varlam Vasiliev and Confederate sources to trace the Koniran rebellion's base of operations to an abandoned mining complex. The raid on the complex took place at about the same time as the trial of Marius Nemo, and consisted of a joint operation between members of the Inquisition and a platoon of on-world Confederate special forces.
The arrest mission was led by Inquisition member Prince Caesaris, accompanied by James Fhtagnleton, RolandAn agent of Varlam Vasiliev and the Gul'Dan fighter Val'Gul. The Inquisition members were supported by two gunships a small platoon of Confederate special forces, under the command of Cpt. Octo Thorpe.
== Raid ==
The bulk of the Confederate special forces staged a sudden attack on the mining complex's main entrance, creating a diversion that allowed for a smaller team of operatives to blast a hole into the complex's central hub and capture Settram without needing to fight through the entirety of the rebel forces. Caesaris, Fhtagnleton, Val'Gul, and Roland advanced to the complex's command room to capture Settram while Thorpe, his second-in-command Lt. Thad Castel, and the demolitions specialist Cpl. Buster initially stayed behind to secure the breach area.
After the rebel forces collapsed the main entrance tunnel, the squad of Confederate special forces attacking the entrance moved to help secure the breach point and Thorpe and the two men with him advanced on to the command room. Val'Gul was ambushed and killed by a line of machine gunners as the Inquisition members approached the command room, but the rest of the Inquisition forces were still able to capture Settram.
A counterattack by rebel infantry and some unexpected anti-aircraft weaponry forced the Confederate forces to abandon the initial breach point, with Thorpe and the Inquisition members still deep inside the complex. Thankfully, the trapped operatives were able to blast open a new hole to the surface directly from the command room, and escape the complex with Settram captured alive. Val'Gul was the only Confederate casualty during the operation.Although one member of Thorpe's special forces did lose an arm during the rebel counterattack
