Operation CHROME

Introduction
Charleston, South Carolina, was under government control almost immediately after the nuclear coup. Even with the state's secession, this remained unchanged. However, the city's status as a major commercial center and port made this unacceptable to Southern Alliance leadership, both military and civilian. Operation CHROME was the Southern Alliance effort to liberate Charleston from the federal government and its mercenaries.
