'''Operation Firebreak''' is a special event which ran from [[Updates/May 2007#Update 018|May 25, 2007]], through June 28, 2007. Following a massive fire SEED assault on Gurhal, the GUARDIANS set into action a plan to purify the contamination that had spread across Parum, Neudaiz and Moatoob.

As players purified SEED cores and cleared event missions, purification points were tallied on the official event site. These points were used to determine what rewards players would receive following the end of Operation Firebreak. Furthermore, each mission offered boosted EXP payout, and [[Ban-photon]]s collected during play could be exchanged for numerous event-exclusive items.

== Event overview ==
The objective of each of the main event missions (excluding [[Scorched Valley]]) was to purify the SEED cores which had rooted across different areas of Gurhal. Two tools that were integral to this process were the [[Photon Eraser]] and [[Goggles]]. The former was issued at the beginning of each event mission, while the latter could be received from the event's prologue mission had they not be obtained from the story mission [[The Mask 1]]. In order to purify the SEED cores, you first had to use your [[Goggles]] to locate the SEED Zoma which surrounded each core. Once revealed, these pods became vulnerable to the effects of the [[Photon Eraser]], and after each Zoma attached to a core had been purified, the core itself lost its protective barrier and could be destroyed with normal attacks. In some missions, certain cores would be powered by larger pods called Go Zoma. Each Go Zoma required at least three players firing their [[Photon Eraser]]s at it simultaneously to successfully purify it.

== Event missions ==
The following missions were available for the duration of Operation Firebreak (unless otherwise noted), though not all were added initially.

=== Prologue mission ===
* [[Operation Firebreak (prologue mission)|Operation Firebreak]]

=== Main missions ===
* [[Sea of Fire]]
* [[Burning Garden]]
* [[Seabed Blaze]] (added June 8, 2007)
* [[Urgent Orders]] (added June 8, 2007)
* [[Heat Wave Island]]
* [[Flower of Flames]]
* [[Scorched Valley]]

=== Item exchange mission ===
* [[Firebreak Trade]]

=== Special mission ===
* [[Photon Eraser Return]] (Still available despite the end of the event.)

== Event rewards ==
As Operation Firebreak progressed, purification points were tallied on the official event site. These points were recorded as an overall total and on a by-planet basis; this information was then used to determine the rewards to be issued to players following the end of the event.

=== Purification point rewards ===
The overall purification point tally was used to determine the duration of a megaholy Photon Fortune period for all players. It also unlocked the ability to receive a unique weapon exclusive to Operation Firebreak. Total purification points at the close of the event were 90,217,935, so all of the following rewards were unlocked.

== Differences between versions ==
* In the Japanese PC/PS2 version of Operation Firebreak, all free missions were removed from the mission counters across Parum, Neudaiz and Moatoob, making only the event missions available for play. In the local version of this event, all free missions remained available.
* The Japanese version of [[Firebreak Trade]] offered two unique items for players who accessed the exchange mission from an officially sponsored netcafé. These two items, [[Real Hand Gun]] and [[Hand Spear]], were not available in the English version of the event.

+Fire contamination of an unprecedented scale has been reported across Gurhal following a massive SEED assault!  Though the GUARDIANS Colony has escaped damage for the most part, the branch offices on each of the planets are receiving non-stop calls for assistance.  In an effort to eradicate the threat, the GUARDIANS have initiated "Operation Firebreak," a system-wide purification mission!  All active Guardians are being called to arms!
