[center] Sector 47, Combat Zone 5: [b]A n u r i a[/b] Fleet: [b]44th Fleet of Karlsland[/b] Unit: [b]509th Mechanized Truppe 2nd Platoon, Krauft Company[/b] Campaign Objective: [i]The seizure of the strategic native city of "Kol'Kora" [/i] Black Emptiness... the great expanse of nothingness where great civilizations fruitlessly squabble over the rocks that dot the unending void.... would be the way some bullshit poetic human might put it. That black nothingness actually is holding a lot of something... especially the space over Anuria. Various fleets of all sorts constantly jockeying for superiority over their respected combat zones planetside. When the 44th Fleet appeared suddenly in low orbit over the infamous city of Kol'Kora, the Humans below knew it was over for them. The Unguon was giving them hell enough, but here were the Mechanische.... a race born in hell, thrives and hell, and will bring hell to wherever they fight. The 44th fleet was unique in that it carried one of the most impressive examples of Empire space domination. A massive "Kapital Class" ship, a ship that could easily take on an entire enemy fleet on its own. But it wasn't alone, for this fleet had many supporting ships of all classes. In one such ship, a Sturm Class carrier, was the 509th.... Here is where their incredible story begins.... "Alright Krauft Company! Listen up! The Navy is doing its best right now to gain total orbital dominance over this city, but there getting flak from just about every angle! Its our job to clean their mess up! The Vernichtung have already landed and are going after their objectives. Early reports from both orbital and planetside reconnaissance shows that this city is crawling with both Humans and Eym forces. Currently, we stumbled upon their little conflict between each other, which we shall use to our advantage. Right now the city is in a serious mess." The man talking was CO of Krauft Company, Captain Maklin Hoffmeister. He motioned to the digital map on the screen, showing the city. "The Artillery divisions are launching right now to set up here, here, and here. We're to be deployed to this overlook here on the outskirts to set up an FOB and hold it once 20% of the invasion force is on the ground. The HES Mar, Frackt, and Larft shall be providing air cover as we drop in. Enemy presence in the upper outskirts should be minimal for the time being, but expect counter attacks and raid patrols from both enemies. If they didn't know we're here, they do now." Suddenly the briefing room's light went orange and an alarm began to blare. "Alright people! Let's move!" Squads pilled into AVC-23 and 28 transports, the hangar filled with the shouts of squad leaders and the chatter of soldiers. The 509th was a newly formed division, many soldiers having never seen combat outside of simulations. Gefreiter(Corporal) Ana Helzts climbed aboard her squad's AVC-23, glancing around at her squad mates. The transport was mostly silent, as the men and women composed themselves for the fight ahead. Their sergeant broke the silence when he walked into the transport, signalling to the co-pilot to close the doors. "Alright squad, when we hit the ground, I want a full 360 around the ship, then once it touches off, we are to immediately move out to phase line alpha, sweep it, then dig in while the engineers build us a new home here." he patted Ana, sitting closest to him, on the shoulder and motioned to the rest of the squad. "We don't fear these xeno bastards, remember that. They. Fear. Us." With that, the sergeant pulled his helmet on and hit the seal as the transport began to fly. "Besides, any bastards in the area are gonna have to deal with Agent 437 long before we get there. Apparently those Vernichtung truppe planted the chemical bombs all over the line and gassed half the suburb. Any exposed organics down there are dead or dying right now." And he was right, for the 509th would soon wittness first hand the true cruel strength of their Empire at total war. [/center]
