Background

Operation Swift Disassembly was proceeding well; the first phase was a success and now it was time for the second phase.

Phase II of Operation Swift Disassembly tasked Helldivers to capture Tibit, the most significant producer of illegal Automaton combatants. To accomplish this, Helldivers had to capture Ubanea.

As the Liberation of Ubanea progressed smoothly, Draupnir came under attack (the Last Battle of Draupnir). Helldivers had to make a decision: defend Draupnir and risk the fall of Ubanea, or attempt to capture Ubanea before Draupnir fell, and then proceed directly to Tibit.

Helldivers chose the second option.

Strategy and importance

The strategy was straightforward: capture Ubanea and launch an attack on Tibit. This battle was of utmost importance, as it would determine the success or failure of the Major Order.

Battle

Ubanea Gambit started on 29th of March, when Draupnir was attacked by Automatons.

Ubanea was lost when it was at 95% liberation. Major Order Failed. Phase II of Operation Swift Disassembly was unsuccessful.
