"The signal is lost. My fleet lands here..."

Biography[]

Background[]

Akeel Min Riah is a Settlement Defense Front commander who posed as a mechanical engineer to gain privileged access to the AATIS Gun Systems during Fleet Week. Prior to his arrival on Earth, Riah underwent an operation that implanted a transponder in his abdomen.

Black Sky[]

During the Fleet Week parade, where the entire UNSA fleet gathered at its capital in Geneva, Operation RIAH initiates, and Riah takes control of the AATIS Gun, and targets the fleet, disabling 2 out of 12 ships. Since the AATIS guns were powerful enough to prevent any SDF ship from operating in any area protected by them, disabling them also allowed the SDF to launch their invasion of Geneva.[1]

After his cover as an SDF spy is blown and his mission was revealed, SCAR Team moved in to capture him. He was apprehended at the AATIS Gun Tower by SCAR Team-1, a moments before he could destroy the AATIS Gun and himself.

Operation Black Flag[]

"This... this is true courage."
— Riah to Nick Reyes, before carrying out his last mission

Within the UNSA's custody, he was escorted by convoy to the UNSA Headquarters in an attempt to exploit the SDF's own plan. However, the SDF manage to ambush the convoy and free Riah. As Riah escapes across the city, Nick Reyes goes after him, eliminating SDF soldiers along the way.

Cornered on top of a church, and with nowhere left to run, Riah ambushes Reyes and beats him up. Riah announces to Reyes that Earth's iron shield will burn, using a laptop to trigger a sequence that would detonate the AATIS Guns, destroying them all.

Riah then conveys his last words to Reyes, stating that his actions represent true courage, cutting his abdomen open and ripping out the implanted transponder, destroying it with the knife and activating the beacon for the SDF assault. He soon dies from his wound as the SDF fleet arrives, fulfilling his words.

Captain's Log[]

"Commander Akeel Min Riah was chosen by the Settlement Defense Front High Command to lead the sky espionage action behind UNSA lines that would prepare the way for the SetDef invasion of Geneva. After being smuggled to Earth by the SDF spy network, Riah assumed an altered identity and took a job as a civilian tech assigned to computer maintenance at the AATIS control tower. On May 7th, he killed the guards defending the control room and took control of Earth's iron shield, using it to destroy the UNSA and SATO fleets during Geneva's fleet week parade. An implanted transponder has been discovered in Riah's abdomen. It has been determined that Riah's intent was to destroy the AATIS with him still inside. This would have destroyed his implanted transponder - thereby calling in the SDF fleet."
