Nordlys is the third singleplayer War Story featured in Battlefield V. It is set in Norway in Winter 1943 during the German occupation.
It tells the story of Solveig Fia Bjørnstad, a young woman who must wage a one-woman guerrilla war in the mountains, not only to thwart the German export of heavy water, used for research into atomic weapons, but also to save her captured mother, Astrid.
The campaign is primarily stealth orientated with a focus on mobility and environmental hazards. Skis is a mechanic featured prominently, as well as Hypothermia.[1]
For three years, Norway, along with most of Western Europe, has been under occupation by Nazi Germany. Since the evacuation of its royal monarchy and the installation of a puppet government in 1940, the territory has been used by the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe to extend control over the North Seas. 400,000 Wehrmacht soldiers have been stationed in the country to protect these interests, while the general population is under the control of the Geheime Staatspolizei, the Gestapo. Despite this, during 1943, Norwegian saboteurs collaborate with the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) in commando missions to cripple the war effort, one of which is a heavy water production plant at Rjukan, Telemark.
STILL AND SILENT
Three days before the events of the story, Astrid Bjørnstad, a technician at the heavy water plant, assists a group of British Commandos in their attempt to destroy the German-held facility. The raid fails however and all surviving members are executed. Her role in the raid exposed, Astrid is arrested and brought before the base commander, Leutnant Weber. Weber interrogates Astrid for information on the "monsters in the woods" - resistance operatives and suspected survivors of the raid, who have been found to be killing German troops in the surrounding area.
One such "monster" is Solveig, who has been tracking her mother since her capture in an attempt to rescue her. Equipped with skis, Throwing Knives, an old service rifle and her trusty hunting knife, Solveig successfully infiltrates the heavy water plant and locates her mother. Before they leave however, Astrid insists they retrieve a dossier of intel and sabotage the machinery. On the single viaduct leading outside the base, they are surrounded by Weber and his men, who convinces them to spare Astrid as she is an invaluable asset, while Weber suspects Solveig is one of the British commandos. With few options left and fearing for her daughter's life, Astrid entrusts the dossier to Solvieg before pushing her off the bridge.
