Mostly, I think. There are a few minor itches.

* "Admiral" is a Navy rank, so it's a little baffling to see one in
 charge at the center of a continent...

* I'd not even mention the river in passing. It's not important and
 IMO just makes it look too similar to OmyarGorge.

* I feel that dividing the land into sectors like Q-123 is more
 appropriate for the Empire. This is (or at least once was) FNA
 home turf so they are much more likely to think of it in
 geographical terms like "ABC Valley" or "the plains between A
 and B" or so.

* And finally, we're still pretty much at the start of the campaign.
 That means the FNA still doesn't have a huge army with lots of
 heavy gear. Therefore something like Operation Hailstorm (at
 least the way I imagine it) is unlikely to happen at this point.
 Maybe you could just make it sound a little less BIG, if you
 know what I mean.

* Oh, I almost forgot. I'm also voting for another name change.
 Manhunt is something like an army against one man, right? I
 must admit that I still have to think of a better one, though.

That brings up the question: Is South-African sufficiently
strange to pass as alien? ;-) Ok, we still haven't decided
whether Kandelians are aliens but it might happen...
