Operation Butterworth is the Natopian military intervention in support of Oportia during the Alexandrium Wars and the regional turmoil known as the Bitter Spring. Initiated in IV.1730 AN, this operation was aimed at addressing the escalated military and humanitarian crises facing Oportia, notably underscored by the Naval Battle of Port Baroque and the complications surrounding Operation Secure Haven. In a significant demonstration of Raspur Pact solidarity and to assist Oportia's efforts in both territorial security and refugee crisis management, the Natopian Defense Force deployed 100,000 troops. Half of these forces were allocated to assist the Southeastern Eura Provisional Administration in establishing stability within the region, while the other half bolstered Operation Secure Haven's capabilities in handling the influx of refugees.

A crucial aspect of Operation Butterworth was the Natopian naval support during the Naval Battle of Port Baroque. The Natopian Defense Force's Raynor Fleet, comprising the 2nd Carrier Group, 3rd Home Group, and 1st Submarine Group, executed a timely and decisive counterattack against the Confederacy of the Dispossessed' Navy. This unexpected intervention decisively shifted the battle's outcome in favor of Oportia, dealing a significant blow to the Dispossessed Navy's operational capabilities.
