Operation Thunderstruck was a proposed but ultimately scrapped military campaign to invade and capture the turian homeworld, Palaven during the First Contact War. Proposed by Joseph H. Garrong after the Battle of Charon, the operation, if successful, would allow them to capture the turian homeworld, secure it and then, in theory, force the turians to go on the defensive; the operation was planned as a contingency incase Operation Wicked Glove failed. The plan, just like Wicked Glove, was almost immediately dismissed by the Alliance parliament, but was reconsidered after the successful Shanxi campaign. The plan was finally put to rest when a week later, the Council intervened and ended the war altogether.
