'''Gold Rush''' (6 September 2024 {{emdash}} 4 January 2025) was the 2nd campaign in the ''Domiere Campaign'' storyline. It involved the EDC 13th Corps 7th Planetary Brigade Combat Team continuing to engage rebel leader Lieutenant General Fyke on the eastern front to try and take down most of his main force. The campaign ~~ended prior to completion~~ due to insufficient players voting to resume the war game after a Christmas hiatus.

Deployment into the operational area took place over the course of 3 rounds (0-2) at drop zones codenamed ''Western'', ''Goodshoes'', and ''Mriya'', though no company opted to deploy forces at the latter location.

The veteran companies [[1st Komodo]], [[1st Victoris Pioneers]], [[Easy Company]], [[Ligeia]], and [[Sunburst~~]] are currently active in this~~ operation. They ~~are~~ joined by newly operational companies [[Bogatyr]], [[Orion]], [[The Night's Radiance]], and [[Zembla]].

The veteran companies 1st Komodo, 1st Victoris Pioneers, Easy Company, Ligeia, and Sunburst joined the operation. They were joined by newly operational companies Bogatyr, Orion, The Night's Radiance, and Zembla.

== Operation chronology ==

An operational chronology is not available for this campaign due to the wiki being created well into the campaign's life-cycle, resulting in a backlog of orders that the primary writer could not keep up with.

~~=== Round 0 ===~~

== Footnotes ==

[[File:GoldRush Round0.jpg|none|thumb|The battle map at round 0 start.]][[N1-4]] (Special Forces) and [[L1-1]] (Sappers) both successfully landed at drop zone ''Goodshoes'' with no issue. Meanwhile [[K1-4]] (VTOL Recon) carrying [[K1-1]] (Sappers) arrived at the ''Western'' drop zone and did not see anything amiss.

~~====Special intelligence====~~

Colonel Adams advised the brigade that, following a bribe he submitted to a different division of the 13th Corps, he was able to obtain a satellite image from ''somewhere'' within the operational area. However, the image quality... left something to be desired.

~~[[File:R0 bribe satellite.png|none|thumb|Satellite image obtained via bribe by Colonel Adams.]]~~

1LT. Rase of 1st Komodo's {{abbr|TSIC|Tactical & strategic intelligence center}} ascertained that the image was likely taken in the general area of ''Creux Passer'' and presented an image detailing various potential enemy units directly south of it. This image is not available as it was deleted along with the relevant Discord channel during organization efforts near the beginning of the campaign.

~~====Eastern front====~~

LTC. Leyn ordered L1-1 establish a drop zone in grid 75-64 immediately to secure a safe deployment area. However, shortly after doing so, they observed movement on the horizon to their south/south-west, hinting at the possibility of their drop zone getting hot.

At the conclusion of the round, there was a scare when Fesalian Military pilots detected getting radar locked while en-route for the second ''Goodshoes'' drop, but no missiles were fired nor aircraft destroyed, and so the remainder of Ligeia company successfully deployed.

~~MAJ. Barentsz ordered N1-4 to setup their signals equipment in order to begin intercepting enemy communications. Almost immediately, 2 messages were intercepted, though only partially.~~

~~The transmission originated from a convoy that was leaving ''Elever Racines'' and heading towards ''Creux Passer''.~~

~~==== Western front ====~~

MAJ. Rhyla ordered K1-4 to move north towards grid 59-64 while simultaneously firing a spotter pod at 62-66 to see if there was any enemy presence immediately across the bridge of the ''Montagne Couler'' stream. As they moved north they immediately caught sight of an enemy radar tower. They also caught sight of a [[wikipedia:Dragon's teeth (fortification)|dragons teeth line]] across the bridge, functionally blocking all armored movement south-east.

~~[[File:R0 opsroom tower and teeth.png|none|thumb|The north sensor tower and dragons teeth line observed by K1-4 while moving north.]]~~

At the conclusion of the round, a vast majority of the remaining elements in play for the operation successfully deployed without issue, with the exclusion of Adams' command vehicle alongside various units in Sunburst, 1st Komodo, Bogatyr, and Zembla, all of which were scheduled to drop in subsequent rounds.

~~=== Round 1 ===~~

{{Construction|section}}[[File:GoldRush Round1.jpg|none|thumb|Battle map at conclusion of round 0, entering round 1.]]This round consisted mostly of movement following the successful deployment in round 0.

~~Sunburst's [[H1-1]] (Super-Heavy Howitzer) fired a starlight shell into grid 64-68 in order to further visibility across the bridge of ''Montagne Couler.'' No enemy units were spotted.~~
