Template:UnderConstruction Template:Battle Template:Campaign The event known as Operation Horizon to the Hapes Consortium was a military attack on the New Anzat Order by the militia of the Horizon Conglomerate and the subsequent retalitation by anti-Horizon forces. A massive coalition was formed by several of the mid and outer rim's governments and security corporations with the intention of destroying the Horizon Conglomerate's war machine and apprehend its de facto warlord leader, Venom Kazvar.
Conflict Roots
Venom Kazvar had built up a reputation as a ruthlessly efficient businessman in the years leading up to Operation Horizon. As he amassed his fortune, his greed grew along with his coffers. He had built up the massive Horizon Conglomerate which owned, controlled or influenced many systems in the mid and outer rim of the galaxy. The small and comparatively weak New Anzat Order became a target for his expansionist objectives from early on, fueled by the desire to acquire the Guardian Medium Cruisers owned by the Anzati government.
Having successfully raided many outer rim systems with his powerful conglomerate militia and becoming a thorn in the side of many mid-outer rim governments such as the Falleen Federation, Kazvar set his sight on the Ordint system in the Churba sector. It was contested space due to the presence of both Starvenger bases and New Anzat Order colonies on the planets there. As the New Anzat Order had deployed a small fleet consisting of several Guardian Medium Cruisers to the system, the Horizon Conglomerate bought up the Starvengers in order to justify an attack on the Anzati forces there.
Formation of the Coalition
While rich and powerful, Kazvar was by no means a modest or humble man. He liked to brag and intimidate the targets of his attacks and the New Anzat Order was no exception. Plans of the impending attack became known to many leaders of the galaxy's governments. The Galactic Empire had no intention of getting involved, but many others, such as the Falleen Federation, viewed the Horizon Conglomerate as a threat to peace in the outer rim territories.
Due to previous disagreements with Kazvar and also the presence of Hapan personnel in the Ordint system, the Hapes Consortium pledged a massive task force to the Coalition against Horizon in the summer of 4030. Joining them was the nationalised Antarian Rangers security company, the Falleen Federation and naturally the New Anzat Order. The respective fleets met at a rendezvous point in deep space before proceeding to the Ordint system.
Attack on Ordint
The Horizon armada arrived in the Ordint system first, led by Venom Kazvar himself along with his 2nd in command, Tyr DeMeer. The spear-head of the attack was the massive Modular Star Hauler called Xenon which had been extensively modified with an array of ion cannons and tractor beams in order to disable and capture ships. It's massive hull modifications along with auxiliary shield generators made it a near invulnerable enemy for the forces of the New Anzat Order present in the system.
