Operation Kingship

*You maybe looking for the 2009 game.*

**Operation Kingship** is a first-person shooter game released on March 15th, 2006. It follows a global counter-terrorist organization known as Kingship, as they thwart a terrorist plot to release a lethal gas known as Heriotza in the 2002 world cup final stadium.

## Campaign

### Plot

The game begins on July 2nd, 2002, in Wildspitze, Austria, as Adrian Baker and Fireteam Autumn Two Alpha of Kingship track down Roland Soból, the leader of the Stowarzyszenie Niepodległości Vetland (Vetland Independence Association, or the SNV). The team infiltrates a base located in the mountains, and stealthily enters, with the main goal of assassinating Soból. Unfortunately, the team is sniffed out, and stealth is no longer useful. The team fight their way through the base, until they get close to Soból. Before anyone can get a shot in, Baker is incapacitated after rubble falls on top of him.

The game then flashes back to before the operation, to showcase the context of the operation. The date is now June 24th, 2002. Adrian Baker is on an operation to raid a Croatian house believed to contain a stash of illegal drugs and weapons. After raiding the house, they find that the gang of the house they were raiding had relations to another dangerous force. After listening to some radio communications, Croatian Kingship member Luka Jerković is able to translate, and relay to the team that a dangerous gas deal is going to occur in Madan, Syria.

Baker tells Superintendent Richard Baltimore about this, and Kingship's 2nd Intelligence Division begins to focus entirely on this new threat. They send a Recon Team in order to collect data on this terrorist organization, as the Commission sends Fireteam Autumn Two Alpha and Winter Six Gamma to intercept the package in Madan.

On June 27th, The Recon Team (callsign: Team Blue Jay ) is sent to Rysy in Slovakia to investigate a mysterious base located in the valleys and find information. While infiltrating the base, one of the members of Blue Jay, Einar, is killed, and his death alerts the base to Kingship's presence. After a messy skirmish, Kingship emerges victorious. They then check the main room of the house and interrogate a SNV member for information on the gas deal. After learning that the leader of the SNV will be there, and learning that the gas is named Heriotza, Blue Jay transfers this information to the Commission, and prepares to leave. However before they can leave, the remaining SNV in the basement release the gas, which quickly spreads to through the house. The remaining members of Blue Jay are killed in a horrific manner, showing the strength of Heriotza.

On June 28th, Fireteam Autumn Two Alpha and Winter Six Gamma are then sent to Madan in order to crash the gas deal. When finally getting there, an all out fight erupts, and Kingship engages with SNV and members of the Al-Murtaziqa Junud. The battle reaches it's peak when a plan presumably containing the gas takes off and crashes, sending a shock wave across the battlefield. The two Fireteams then fight their way into the plane, and discover that there was no gas inside the plane. This angers superintendent Richard Baltimore, and only serves as more motivation for Kingship.

On June 29th, The 2nd Intelligence Division finds out that the gas was shipped from Somalia to an unknown south Asian state. Kingship sets out to find Second-In-Command of the SNV Ørjan Johansen. They discover that he's been striking deals with Norwegian officials in northern Norway, and they once again send Fireteam Autumn Two Alpha to deal with the situation. After tapping into radio communications, Autumn Two Alpha travels to Øksfjord. After eliminating the SNV defenses, Autumn Two Alpha make their way to the building itself to breach and clear. They are able to find and capture Johansen, however he is drunk and unable to answer any questions the team asked him. Also drunk are the Norwegian officials that he partied with.

On the same day, Kingship takes Johansen to Site Hotel Quebec and interrogate him, sober. He refuses to break at first, however because of acquired intelligence, and a bit of bluffing, he breaks, and exposes the name of the leader of the SNV, and what they were trying to accomplish. He also gives away the position of the leader of the SNV, in Indonesia. They planned to ship the chemicals to the 2002 World Cup Final International Stadium in Yokohama, Japan.

Now with the leader's name, location, and the established motive, the 2002 World Cup final is delayed and various Kingship units travel to Indonesia. Above the Riau Islands, Autumn Two Alpha deals with the recent shipment. They siege the plane the chemicals are on, and successfully secure the plane. However, a SNV soldier who had played dead the entire time, attached grenades to himself and blew a hole in the plane. Kingship, not being able to save the plane, has to departure with parachutes on the plane, and they land on the island while the plane crashes into the South China Sea.

After many more shipments are found and destroyed, the focus shifts on assassinating the SNV leader to put an end to the madness. Second In Command Johansen gives up location of a safehouse located in Montiglio, Italy. The 2nd Aviation Regiment of the USAF is sent in order to completely wipe out the base. After it turns out that Soból wasn't there, Kingship puts even more pressure onto Ørjan, and eventually he breaks and gives up the location of the facility in Wildspitze, Austria. Johansen is then executed.

On July 2nd, Autumn Two Alpha is sent to put the nail in the coffin. When stealth fails, and the team is discovered, the game flashes forwards to where this mission left off. The piece of rubble is pulled off of Baker by Evan Cooper, and Baker is dragged by Cooper into cover. After recovering from his shell shock, Baker and Fireteam Autumn Two Autumn hop into already stored jeeps fit for winter terrain, and chase Soból down. After shooting his tires, he spins and tumbles in the snow. Unfortunately, a stray rock sends Autumn Two Alpha's jepe tumbling as well. Baker wakes up, and sees Soból begin to run away. Baker pulls put his weapon, and fires. He hits Soból in the back of the head, killing him for good, and ending the SNV's plot.
