=== Part 1: Morningstar ===<br />
: published on: 27 April 2007<br />
: ''supplementary scenario:'' [[Daybreak Fandango]]<br />
{{quote|''The forces of the [[Free Worlds League]] have landed on the border world of [[Arcadia (LC)|Arcadia]]. The planet's militia defenders are overwhelmed; while the bulk of them are meeting the [[House Marik|Marik]] forces, a small contingent is staying behind to protect their base at Summersville. There the last of the dependents of the militia are quickly making their way into hiding—trying to make it before the Marik [[mercenary]] support can take them out...''}}<br />
<br />
=== Part 2: Crescent Moon ===<br />
: published on: 4 May 2007<br />
: ''supplementary scenario:'' [[Evening Tango]]<br />
{{quote|''[[Donovan's Dark Devils]] were tasked with attacking the [[Arcadia Militia (Lyran Commonwealth)|Arcadian Militia's]] facility at Summerville. They took out not the base, but its supporting maglev—on which the militia's dependents were riding. Now the mercs have come back for a second pass, but they face something even more dangerous than a militia defending their home: a militia enraged.''}}<br />
