The Stranded Raid on Pelruan was an incident which approximately 50 to 100 Stranded[1] attempted to attack the COG settlement of Pelruan. The members of Delta Squad, assisted by KR-80, KR-239 and an APC driven by Anya Stroud repelled the attack with no casualties, although some minor damage was done to the town. An estimated 60 stranded died in the raid[2] including their leader, Massy.[3]

Order of Battle[]

Background[]

Delta Squad arrived on the island on the previous day with two King Ravens and the APC on a reconnaissance mission to see if Vectes Naval Base was habitable and whether local populations, if there were any, were hostile. Although friendly contact with the citizens in Pelruan was successful, the local Stranded were antagonistic. Following a tense standoff which almost escalated into a firefight due to an exchange between Bernadette Mataki and one of the Stranded, threats were exchanged and the Gears returned to Pelruan. On that night, Mataki would reveal that one of the Stranded present was part of a group who had once raped her, adding to the animosity.

The Battle[]

At 0300 hours, Fenix spotted boats pulling up onto the shoreline and ordered them intercepted. Determining that the occupants are Stranded and they were armed, the two King Ravens revealed themselves and ordered the Stranded to surrender. A grenade was launched at KR-80 causing minor damage and the fighting broke out between the two forces. Some Stranded made for the town and started fires. However, Dominic Santiago and Damon Baird engaged and routed them from the settlement (With help from trained dogs possessed by the townspeople). In the meantime, three Stranded Junkers (Striped down variants of APCs) also made for the town, but are intercepted by Anya Stroud and KR-239 who destroyed them.

Aftermath[]

The Gears suffered from no injured or dead during the attack in stark contrast to the roughly 60 dead Stranded. Among them, although the Gears could not identify him at the time was Massy, the Stranded’s leader. The incident affected the Gears's relationship with the Pelruan townsfolk who were upset at the damage caused and that they are ordered to not participate in the defense. The Stranded would think twice before daring to attack the settlement again.
