Operation Sentinel

Operation Sentinel, the first operation of the Chimeran Ministry of Truth on APSS, was an attack plan carried out by the Chimeran Ministry of Truth with support from its Lanierian counterpart, the Lanier Animal Protection Agency. The plan involved the ambush and complete destruction of the entire fleet of Usharia, a small unofficial faction led by self-proclaimed Emperor AirLTU. The Usharian fleet, which was stationed in the Lanierian/Iridian military base of Swampfort, was rumored to have had plans to transfer its entire fleet to its new home in the Silver Empire city of Vittoria, which led to the formation of Operation Sentinel.

The operation aimed to ambush the Usharian fleet along whichever path the Usharians took during the movement of their fleet and to subsequently sink it. Some Chimeran ships were converted to the Ministry of Truth for use in this operation. The Ministry of Truth fleet was stationed in Belcrest.

The Usharian fleet began its migration to Vittoria much earlier than expected, and the forces of the Ministry of Truth had little time to prepare. One ship under the command of Sam launched an ambush in South Haven, but was disabled halfway through returning to airspace. The Usharian fleet continued unscathed. A small group of two Brawlies lagged behind, and was subsequently stolen by the Minister of the Ministry of Truth, Stuck, after promising to let the pilot keep his light airship if he handed over the Usharian vessels or be sunk by Stuck's warship. However, the pilot then sank the Usharian vessels after Stuck had took it.

The attack was concluded, however not long after it had come to the attention of the Ministry of Truth that the Usharians have, in fact, not been added to the Vittoria airspace. The Usharian fleet had released its ship to avoid detection by ships in the victinity, but their plan to lay hidden backfired after Commando discovered them and killed AirLTU, taking over all the Usharian ships after the other Ministry of Truth officers had arrived. They took all the remaining ships, which included three Bralwies and five Cuckoos, and sailed them into the Chimeran/Ralistian airspace of Kalono, all the while under heavy assault by the salty Usharian members in the in-game chat.

Usharian morale was heavily damaged after this incident, since they had lost their entire fleet. This incident was one of the contributing factors to Usharia quitting the server.
