The operation is internal.
The mission is unofficial.
Failure is not an option.
You are part of a Spetsnaz unit tasked with reclaiming the facility, eliminating the traitors, and securing the Kosmonaut satellite program before it threatens military stability.
There will be no recognition.
No reports.
Only orders.
