## Location

The Battle took place on the moon Griffith Prime. The main battle took place in the city of Cor, a big urban sector with tall buildings, a residential area and a prison.

## Story

The planet Governor, Governor Ardievo publicly announced his intentions to leave the Republic, and act that wasn't taken lighlty. As the Governor transmitted his speech, he mentioned how he had been allowing CIS operations on the city prison for the last couple of months. Altough the support for this action was really low, the governor lend control of the city to the CIS, which proceeded to enact martial law and captured any civilian that was spotted outside of their house. After setting up a blockade above the city, the CIS began to move in Supply ships to increase the number of active units.

After a few hours of the initial transmission, the Republic had already staged an assault on the moon as to maintain its territory.

While the Valkyrie Garrison troopers where landing on the outskirts of the city, the LAAT that was carrying the Special Operations Brigade Regiment got shot down and crash in the middle of the city. Altough there were no casualties, the Republic Commandos found themselves lost.

As the battle waged on, the Republic managed to get a hold of the C.C.G tower (Comm Cast Griffith) and used it's antenna to establish communications with the fleet, which was currently conducting a battle over the skies of Cor.

Some troopers were assigned to retrieve and exfil any civilians, but while that was happening, the Shock Battalion was tasked with locating and arresting the Governor for high treason against the Republic. His exact location was unknown, but a good lead was his favourite restaurant that was located in the middle of the city. After entering what seemed to be a luxorious restaurant, the Shock troopers were ambushed by BX's and recently installed ceilling turrets. When the threats were eliminated, the Governor, who was watching the small skirmish, turned himself in without any type of hesitation or worry.

As this happened, the SOB REG alongside the Assault Battalions, sieged the city prison. After clearing the surface level, members of RC entered a platform and were lowered to the jail area. Meanwhile the 501st maintained the outside clear.

Inside the prison, there were multiple dead inmates, and after CF-99 Tech hacked a console, it was discovered that the prison was being used as a testing site for different expermients, all conducted by "The Grim Reaper". After closer inspection of what seemed to be just dead bodies, the RC squads were able to find a live subject that seemed severily injured and showed signs of necrosis. Before leaving the prison, the RC squads decided to investigate boxes that were oddly placed around the jail. From them, soldiers with heavy armor and red eyes jumped out and began attacking the Commandos. Once clear, the SOB REG evaced the AO on a LAAT with the subject they captured, which they nicknamed "Jerry".

After the detention of the Governor, Shock was on their way to the LZ to extract the Governor, but due to a Speed Bike incident, the Governor was severily wounded and a field operation had to be held.

After hours of fighting, the CIS were forced outside of the moon and the Republic managed to keep a hold of Griffith Prime.
