Use this view to monitor operator health, unblock students stalled mid-tier, and coordinate ME tempo across the operation.
Unit leadership: authenticate to access the commander dashboard. Surfaces ME health at a glance: operator counts per tier, mission completion velocity, support volume, and operation-wide tempo against ENDEX.

Threat group DARKWAVE-37 has established a multi-segment staging network as a launch platform for operations against critical infrastructure.
CPT 169 penetrates the network, maps it segment by segment, and captures intelligence flags at each stage to deny the adversary their staging ground.
Tradecraft escalates each tier; hints thin from generous in Tier 1 to minimal in Tiers 4 and 5.
Welcome, operator. This console is your command center for Operation Iron Veil. You will work five mission tiers in order: Reconnaissance → Access & Enumeration → Tunneling → Exploitation → Maneuver, capturing an intelligence flag at each objective.
Set your work role any time from the OPERATOR menu → Profile. When you are ready, begin the mission.
