Orino

Sign in to edit

Orino (Altian: Ορίνο) is a settlement located on the island of Altis in the Republic of Altis and Stratis.

Overview[]

A village located to the south-east of Syrta, Orino comprises of several single- and double-storey houses built along the only road that originates from the town of Agios Dionysios. This road eventually terminates further up the hill and is not connected to any other settlement in the area.

History[]

In the first year of the civil war, Orino was the site of a major battle between the pro-civilian government Loyalists and pro-Akhanteros AAF.[1]

On May 11th, 2026[1], mere hours after a tenuous ceasefire was agreed upon by both sides, a Loyalist squad was ambushed by pro-AAF paramilitary fighters. Another squad of Loyalists were subsequently dispatched to investigate the missing squad's fate.[2][3] They only found a single survivor who was then brought to the safety of Loyalist-held lines.[4]

The survivor reported that some of the squad's members had been captured and were being held at an AAF camp nearby[5], though they were quickly freed by the Loyalists.[6] In response to the AAF's unilateral breaking of the ceasefire, the Loyalists initiated an offensive of their own, hoping to seize the town by dawn.[7]

After an hour of fighting, the Loyalists succeeded in capturing Orino[8] and fought off an attempted counterattack by the AAF.[9][10] By noon, Orino would become a forward outpost for the Loyalists who would then use it to spearhead other attacks in the region.[1][11]

Trivia[]

  • Orino's real-world counterpart on the island of Lemnos, Greece, is the village of Kourouni. However, the in-game Orino is more heavily forested compared to Kourouni and also does not depict the surrounding vineyards.
  • It is prominently featured in the main campaign's optional Scouting missions[12] as well as Tac-Ops' Beyond Hope mini-campaign.[7]

MAVROS: He's got a point. Spartan should've checked in already. CARRAS: How do you know, Thanos? Georgiou's been late before and the rebels... I mean. Maybe they're just showing a militia how to shoot straight. JAMES: In this fog? Unlikely."

Spartan group have failed to report and there's been some gunfire, near here... Point Lambda. Basically, this area. As you can see, it's right on their patrol route. Of course, we haven't seen shit for days. The weather has us blind and there's a good chance Akhanteros' rebels are taking advantage of that fact. I'd say they've already made a play for Orino - effectively putting our forces on the back foot. The town's half-empty and could have fallen without anybody knowing about it. Truth is, we can't risk waiting, we must take the initiative! Now... Mavros. He's volunteered to lead our reconnaissance team, Chimera. They will locate our lost squad and ID enemy positions and armor before a fullscale offensive... yes, we're staging an attack. First, however, we must soften their defences by calling in a rocket strike. Some of you may know Color Sergeant James. His group, callsign: Falcon, have a provider on stand by. Their involvement will not be the subject of any discussion. Once everything's set, Hoplite and Centaur will advance on Orino from the south and west. Chimera will then swoop in from the west. As soon as we've captured the town, we may need to defend against quick reaction forces. Here... and, maybe here, from the north. So... be prepared. Any questions...? No? Then gear up. Let's get this done."
