Imperial Conquest~ Mission 5, Search for NH-90

Despite gaining ground amongst the Sahara Desert in vast sectors around the ruins of Helios Fortress, the situation takes a dark turn when a German NH-90 is shot down by Imperial Tie Interceptors, causing it to crash into the Sands of the Sahara just outside the ruins of what used to be the city of Howa, a city that despite best efforts conducted by Earth military forces was destroyed in the Fall of Earth Era in 2019.

The city has remained abandoned since the engagement ended, leaving its ruins to be consumed by the Sahara as the years progressed.

Now 4 years later in 2024, the Earth Resistance now have to return into the city of death in order to get to the crashed NH-90 before the Empire does, as the aircraft contains vital documents on Operation Orbital.
