History
Mercenary forces utilized the MG-31 in the Cascadian Conflict's Operation Flash Hazard, supporting Sicario's Hitman Team.[1] In the last stages of Operation Sea Farer, Federation Regional Cascadian HQ launched coastal Kiiyo cruise missiles against the stolen FNS Jerusalem in a last-ditch attempt to sink it, four MG-31s escorting them. The missiles were downed by Hitman, however.[2]
A squadron of four MG-31s were escorting the Federation air train and patrolling Wensleydale Range[3] and the adjacent Solana Communications Array.[4] In addition, mercenary and Federation forces deployed MG-31s to the Bering Strait during Operations Guillotine and Manifest Destiny; both operations resulted in heavy losses for both sides and the aircraft.[5][6]
