― General Hubert Galeforce |
The Toppat Raid is a determinant military conflict between the Toppat Clan and General Hubert Galeforce's offensive military forces that takes place in the Dogobogo Jungle. It is the final and the largest battle of the Henry Stickmin series and appears in multiple pathways of Completing the Mission.
In all pathways, Henry Stickmin can either pick between the two factions or choose neither and enter the conflict as a neutral party with Ellie Rose. Dmitri Johannes Petrov and Grigori Olyat with their army of guards from The Wall can also join in as a third faction.
Events[]
Between the events of Infiltrating the Airship and Fleeing the Complex, the Toppat Clan came up with a plan to gather all of their members and assets into one place, that being an orbital station. The idea was to have the station launched into space, thus allowing for the clan to orbit around Earth far enough from the Government's reach, allowing for them to raid any place on Earth with ease and practically become invincible. Preparations began in the Dogobogo Jungle with them being nearly or already complete by the time Henry breaks out of The Wall.
It wasn't long before General Hubert Galeforce (who was Captain when he first encountered the Toppats) and his division of the Government discovered the plan. To counter them they also set up a secret base in the jungle not too far from the Toppats. They planned on raiding the launch site with the intent arresting the remaining members of the clan, going as far as killing them if left with no other options. In the Valiant Hero ending, it is revealed that the military won't withdraw from the raid should they fail with the Toppats having a successful launch, instead returning back to base and figuring out new ways to deal with the Toppats while continuing to monitor them.
24 hours before launch, the Toppat Clan has established a train with an escorting convoy delivering all of the Toppat Clan's supplies and valuables to their orbital station. According to U.S. Marine Corps Captain H.J. Canterbury in a "Code 12" broadcast (sent out 2 days before raid), the orbital station is large enough to shelter and store all of the Toppat Clan's personnel and cargo.
On the day of the launch, their military forces ambush the Toppats with a surprise raid, usually forcing the Toppats into launching the rocket within five minutes. The raid has a variety of different outcomes depending on Henry's choices.
Completing the Mission[]
Without Henry[]
Based on how Henry Stickmin infiltrated the Airship, the Toppat leader will either be Reginald Copperbottom, Right Hand Man or Sven Svensson. Despite this, they manage to launch the Toppat Orbital Station into the orbit, allowing them to easily raid any place on Earth. The Toppat Raid does happen in these paths as Henry is briefly teleported to the abandoned Toppat Launch Site with the aftermath of the battle in "Jewel Baron" showing the battle still occurs without his influence.
In "Valiant Hero", the Government continues to pursue the Toppats as they monitor them in space and build a prototype spaceship as a last resort (this would most likely be the same in the other paths). They are able to take down the Toppats with Henry and Charles teaming up and exploding the station, though it is at the cost of Charles' life. "Free Man" and "Jewel Baron" also feature Henry indirectly getting rid of the Toppats in some sort of way, no longer making them an active threat.
Toppat King[]
The attack is launched after Toppat Clan Leader Henry Stickmin and Ellie Rose meet up with former leader Reginald Copperbottom and Right Hand Man at the control tower of the Toppat Launch Site. The Toppat elites are attacked by a helicopter, but the pilot gets killed after being thrown out of his own vehicle. A group of soldiers and Vance Kite arrest Reginald Copperbottom but are soon shot down by Henry. He falls below the rocket as Norm Hexter and two soldiers are planting an EMP. Stickmin calls in a bird and steals the EMP, landing near Copperbottom's Right Hand Man. They are surrounded by Victoria Grit and her troops. Right Hand Man and Stickmin obliterate the troops, and race towards the Rocket.
Ellie Rose, who has stolen a Government Jeep, takes them and drives up the ramp to the rocket. Major Hershell Panzer and his troops block the way, but the Major is taken out by Stickmin as Rose and Right Hand Man escape. The rocket launches with the Major's troops falling to their death and Stickmin being left behind. He uses an Abandoned Tank to boost himself towards the Rocket and is grabbed by Copperbottom who pulls him in with only a little bit of hesitation. The Toppats successfully place their Station in the orbit, but the Government still manages to arrest quite a few members. Even with this the Toppats become invincible with their station in orbit and their two strong leaders, Henry Stickmin and Ellie Rose.
Special BROvert Ops[]
After saving Henry Stickmin from The Wall, Charles Calvin lands on the Government Military Base to meet with General Hubert Galeforce. Galeforce gives them a mission to help them take out the Toppats. Two hours before launch, Stickmin lands near a SAM Turret and tampers its target view using a Drawing. Calvin brings Stickmin to the Rocket where he is surrounded by many Toppats. They use a Remote Toppat to distract them as Stickmin goes to the engine room. He disables it using a Red Herring and reaches the cockpit. He defeats Toppat Leader Sven Svensson and locks the Rocket, trapping all Toppats inside. In similar fashion to the Airship division, the remaining Toppats are all arrested with Stickmin and Calvin being promoted to Special Covert Ops agents by Galeforce for their work.
Triple Threat[]
After escaping the Wall alongside Ellie Rose, Henry Stickmin calls Charles Calvin to pick them up. Calvin wants their help so they can deal with the Toppats for good. After arriving at the Dogobogo Jungle, Stickmin and Rose fly to a SAM Turret using a Jetpack, destroying it. They fly to the Rocket, crashing into the cafeteria window surrounded by many Toppats. They cause a Distraction and cause them all to dance while they get around. The rocket blasts off, Rose and Stickmin take out Toppat Leader Sven Svensson and redirect the rocket to The Wall. With the Toppats now in custody at The Wall, they will no longer be causing any trouble as Henry and Ellie continue to work for the Government as secret agents going on missions with Charles.
Stickmin Space Resort[]
At a Tavern Henry Stickmin overhears Icepick talking about the Toppat Orbital Station. Four hours before launch, Stickmin drives to the Toppat Launch Site on his scooter. He gets past gate guard Kayn West and drives to the Rocket, getting on top of it. He is shot at by Toppat Sniper Jack Doogan but deflects his bullet with a Hammer, killing Doogan. Stickmin hijacks the Rocket, starting the launch. The Rocket is grappled by the Toppat Leader's Right Hand Man, not allowing it to blast off. Stickmin shoots the grapple, launching into outer space. The Orbital Station is turned into a Space Resort with all the Toppats inside reforming into resort crew members. The Government launches the raid shortly after the orbital station takes off and all the Toppats that remained on Earth, including the leaders, are arrested with Henry unknowingly doing the government's work for them.
Pardoned Pals/Toppat Recruits[]
Out of the Wall and on the run, Ellie Rose hopes that she and Henry Stickmin can join the Toppat Clan. Their road is blocked by a Tank owned by the Wall, distracting Rose and making them crash into a car. Wall Warden Dmitri Johannes Petrov has followed them to the jungle, sending a squad to capture the convicts. A group of Wall Guards come across Government troops and Toppat members, who have no idea who they are. Rose and Stickmin escape using a a rope with wings but get hit by a helicopter. Konrad and Calvin Bukowski jump out of the helicopter and go after Rose and Stickmin into the launch tower. Stickmin uses a Time Machine to get Bukowski twins discharged from the Military, making their way to the safe launch tower safely. They get on top of the bridge but are chased by Ivan Petroteva who commands Matteo Gurtchev to fire at them. Stickmin barely reaches the other side using a Note Block and get to the rocket. They find the Toppat Leader and Right Hand Man who allow them to join the Toppats as long as Stickmin returns the Romanian Ruby. They are interrupted by the Warden Petrov and his right-hand-man Grigori Olyat. Following the encounter, Charles Calvin launches a missile and ask Stickmin and Rose to help him out.
If they choose to go with Charles, they shoot out the support beams and destroy the rocket, killing everyone inside, essentially taking out the entire Toppat Clan. They meet with General Galeforce at the Government base and earn a pardon for helping them out.
If they choose to join the Toppats, they shoot Petrov and Olyat. Believing they succeded, Rose comments on it all working out for them. She is punched on the head by Petrov who attempts to kill Stickmin but is thrown off the rocket. The rocket launches successfully with Stickmin and Rose joining the Toppat Clan as new recruits.
Toppat 4 Life[]
Henry Stickmin sits in a Tavern as he overhears two drunk Government Soldiers talking about the raid. They are interrupted by Quentin Alabaster who takes them into their helicopter. 3 hours before launch, Drake Camper accidentally drops a supply drop early making Stickmin land near a small cliff. He gets up and gets into a tent with a gigantic tank named Big Boy in it. He scrambles it and causes it to attack the Government base. The Center for Chaos Containment is alarmed by this. Mobile Unit Operator Ellias Bahtchin sends in G.A.B.E.G.G., a giant mech shaped like an egg. With all the chaos going on, General Galeforce cancels the Raid, evacuating the base. Stickmin steals a tank and dives to the Toppat Launch Site, meeting up with former chief Reginald Copperbottom and a group of Toppats. The Toppats all accept him as the leaderbest for the Clan and the rocket takes off without the raid ever happening.
Capital Gains[]
After learning Henry has a tank, Ellie tells him about the Toppat Train. She gets in touch with her contacts and the duo raid the train. The train crashes, killing the passengers. They use a Fulton on the money cart but are anbushed by the Right Hand Man. They kill him and fly away with the cart. Due to the disappearance of the Right Hand Man, toppats, who were on the rocket platform, were confused by the fact that the train had not arrived and their leader had gone somewhere. And this most likely played into the hands of the Government and the next day they were able to arrest the toppats and maybe some were killed and some escaped.
Master Bounty Hunter[]
After escaping the Wall with Charles Calvin, General Galeforce prepares a team of bounty hunters to assist Henry Stickmin, consisting of John Pilksin, Gordon Banks and Amelia Esteban. Their mission is to capture the Right Hand Man who has been rebuilt as a cyborg. After landing on the jungle, Stickmin converts gate guard Kayn West to their side. They locate the Right Hand Man in the warehouse, opening a Suppressing Fire on him. The bounty hunters all get killed but Henry manages to survive. He defeats and captures the Right Hand Man using a Cheap Fighting Combo. Charles gives all clear to Brian Reynold and Steven Willis with the latter informing about the leader's demise over the P.A., leading the Toppats to surrender. In the aftermath, a few members were able to escape into small groups but can't cause the Government much trouble.
Revenged[]
After being betrayed by Reginald Copperbottom at the Wall, Henry Stickmin is revived as a cyborg by Dr. Vinschpinsilstien. He flies off to the Toppat Airship, having a battle with the Right Hand Man. He fires a Big Blast on him, killing the Right Hand Man. He heavily damaged the Airship, causing them to lose altitude. Stickmin staples Copperbottom to the wall but as he is about the fly, he is shot by Copperbottom, unable to move. The Airship crashes into the Toppat Launch Site, killing the entire airship division and Stickmin himself too not long after. As the events occurred before the 2-3 days before the raid was planned to happen, it was most likely cancelled by the Government after they found out that they Toppats were taken out giving them an automatic victory. Continuing the raid would be effectively useless.
