The Battle of Endeavor Naval Shipyard was fought between Coalition of Ordered Governments forces and the Locust Horde. Delta-One defeated the Locust forces to recover the CNV Adamant and begin their journey to Azura.

Order of BattleEdit

Assault on the ShipyardEdit

After the Mission to Char, Delta-One drove to the Endeavor Naval Shipyard to locate the CNV Adamant and use it to reach Azura. Pvt.Dizzy Wallin drove a Packhorse through the front gates of the shipyard, running over the two Drones guarding it as well. The Locust sent out more Drones, Shriekers, and two Boomers to stop them, and dropped reinforcements in from a Gas Barge, but Delta-One tore through the Locust defenses easily and entered Hanger One. They found only a rusted hulk and Giant Serapede webs inside, and moved on to the exit. After crossing a bridge towards Hanger Two, Delta-One was ambushed by a Palace Guard that released two Serapedes to try and kill them with support from snipers. Delta managed to defeat the creatures and the Locust, and entered Hanger Two.^[1]

Repairing the AdamantEdit

They found the CNV Adamant inside the hanger, and Dizzy inspected the submarine to see if it was in working condition. He informed the others that it needed fuel and a new rotor, and the rest of Delta left to search for the needed parts while Dizzy worked on preparing and guarding the ship. They began searching for the rotor first, and entered a storage area that was full of Wretches and Tickers. After clearing them out, they engaged a group of Palace Guards outside, supported by two Troika Heavy Machine Gun positions and several Shriekers. They killed the guards and Shriekers, and destroyed the Troikas by shoving two carts of unstable missiles at them, which exploded when they hit the wall next to the Troikas. They then took a lift up to the higher levels of the base, where they found a Kantus monk leading a group of Locust on a small ship. After killing the Locust, a Gas Barge dropped off eight more Palace Guards and more Shriekers arrived. Delta managed to defeat them all, and Cpl.Jace Stratton suggested they try to find a maintenance bay to hurry the search up. Pvt.Samantha Byrne spotted one, and they entered it. After fighting through a group of Locust defending a ship hull, they found a rotor on top of the unfinished ship. Sgt.Marcus Fenix used a Mechanical Loader to carry it back to the CNV Adamant while the others defended him, and Dizzy began installing it as Delta searched for fuel. They fought their way through dozens of Locust forces until they reached a ship with fuel tank on it that was heavily defended by the Locust. They boarded the ship and drove the Locust off, and used a crane to ship the fuel over to the submarine hanger while they fought off the last of the attacking Locust forces.^[2]

Escaping EndeavorEdit

With the CNV Adamant ready to go, Delta simply needed to get it to the dry dock to get it in the ocean. The Locust set up heavy defenses along the dry dock to prevent the Gears from reaching the end, but Delta-One tore through multiple waves of Palace Guards, Boomers, Grinders, Shriekers, and a Reaver to get to the end. The Locust deployed the last of their forces to stop Delta-One there, sending out Armored Kantus' with heavy infantry support to stop them. Delta-One managed to kill the Locust commanders and the last of the infantry forces, and filled up the dry dock to allow Dizzy to drop the CNV Adamant into it. After Lt.Anya Stroud contacted Pvt.Augustus Cole and got word that they had reinforcements ready to assault Azura, Delta got underway to the hidden island.^[2]
