The [[Summer 2015 Event]] introduced players to the gimmick for the first time. When the event originally started, the later stages of the event were not released till a day later in order to make sure the gimmick was working as intended. When the later portion of the events were introduced, players would be greeted with a surprise which would present a greater challenge for them once they reached '''E-7 Operation FS'''.

Operation FS introduced the [[Air Defense Princess]], an abyssal air defense destroyer boss, which while was tough in general, was only made harder to defeat due to her incredibly high defense. The Devs tweeted later in that day that there was a system that players need to figure out to destroy the 'enemy's main defense" which would involve "destroying the enemy's supply line"
