Operation Sunrise

Operation Sunrise was the US’s offensive on Venus against the SCF. The US amassed 30,000 ships and 10,000 gunships for the attack. The Soviets made a wall of defense ships on the plan of attack, to prevent the frontal push. On the day of 3 January 2091, the US jumped into the orbit of Venus with their ship and were instantly met with fire from the 100,000 defense ships that the Soviets had setup. The US suffered from heavy losses to the Soviet defense line, any small ships that made it through to the atmosphere were shot down. The aftermath of the battle left Mars vulnerable for a counterattack for the SCF, they soon launched a counterattack which destroyed the US presence on Mars.
