From the Campaign Journal of Major Jospeh Petrie

While obstinately the objective of this mission is to disrupt the CCAF forces on Fletcher while denying them resources, there were several other objectives. The first and foremost was to gather material that could be used to aid our own forces. One of the others, however, was the retrieval of certain high-value assets that had been captured during the invasion of Fletcher. These assets possessed vital information regarding the CCAF and its plans, as well as other vital matters.

The information we’d gathered from Biao-McTavish had a lot of valuable leads on their location. Unfortunately, that location was the Baradin Island prison, the highest security facility on the planet. Located underground on an offshore island, it’s very remoteness made any extraction difficult. However, to make matters worse, the Fletcher Planetary Guard had assigned heavy vehicle assets to protect it, likely as a response to the raiding force on planet.

Fenris Isle

Lake Olsen District, c, early 24th century
Located in the middle of a vast lake, Olsen's Isle (named for its discoverer) was left largely untouched following the initial colonization of Fletcher. The rise in tensions between the Terran Hegemony and the nascent Capellan Confederation changed that, however, as the Hegemony armed forces began to reinforce worlds that were seen as threatened by the Capellans.

Olsen's isle was chosen as the sire for a military facility, and construction of Fort Olsen began quickly. Its island location was deemed to be very defensible, and the construction of a drop-port meant that Terran forces would have no problems accessing it while leaving any potential invaders with only a few rather risky options should they try to attack the facility. Once it came on-line, Fort Olsen provided HAF and later SLDF forces with a secure base of operations.
