Capture of Sebastian Encines

Mession Vermel (Mission Red) was a secret operation carried out in 1977 to capture Barzona Libre leader Sebastian Encines.

Background
After an increase in BL attacks throughout Brunant, the National Police and Royal Guard intensified its efforts to try and capture BL's elusive leader. For many years he was in hiding and it is believed that in the mid 1970s he even escaped to Germany.

Finally in 1976, largely thanks to the work of informants, a mole and two women working with the police, several BL safehouses were determined as possible locations where Encines might stay, given his pattern of moving around often.

Following the Ambroos Station bombing in April 1977, the Royal Guard was given the go-ahead to commence raiding the safehouses to

Shortly after, following informants' tips, the National Police arrested Encines in Niesburg. BL members attempted to free him in 1978, but instead they lost more men.
