It was originally an operation to destroy the wreckage of a crashed Barenian stealth fighter containing sensitive information and technology deemed too dangerous to fall into Fengese hands. The Union State's expeditionary force deployed as part of TTO forces during the Kaurismas war was given the task of destroying the wreckage and rescuing the pilot who was piloting the stealth fighter if he was still alive or not captured. Air force Major General Thea Frank, thefirst Northwesternite female to reach the rank of major general in the Union State's military history, was put in charge of the mission. Due to the heavy number of Fengese air patrols in area A7BR, the major general deployed the 4th Tactical Fighter Squadron's 1st flight "WarHorse" as the main spearhead force in clearing the airspace of local Fengese fighters, this included 1st Lieutenant Richard "MorningStar" Folke callsign WarHorse-1 had become the TTO forces' top over the course of the Kaurismas war with a combined 17 confirmed kills on Fengese fighters, 4 bombers and 3 tanks with even more unconfirmed kills using the new FSF-15C S/MTD fighter at the time.

Alongside the 4th Tactical was the 2nd Electronic Combat Squadron's 2nd flight "Duke" deploying 2 FSF-14EW and 2 EA-27B SEAD aircraft to jam enemy ground anti-air systems and 2 squads from the 18th Special Operation Forces Group in 2 SH-74 Helicopters to deal with the destruction of the Barenian stealth fighter's wreckage and retrieval of the pilot. Commanding the battle was the 44th Airborne Air Control Squadron "Goodfellow" in an FSE-3 Sentinel.

After a few minutes of combat, both aces damaging each other's aircraft, "Huī Lóng" would be shot down by Lieutenant Richard. The whole battle would only last approximately 30 minutes.
