>Mission_Information: Winter Contingency has been declared. On March 2nd, 2551, the human colony of Atis IV was struck by an unprecedented invasion. Communications have been severed with reactionary fleets elsewhere. Commander Joseph Philemon of UNICOM has placed himself as direct Commanding Officer over the defence of the colony. All forces under UNICOM fall under his directive, as well as present UNSC Marine Corps branches. Information regarding the planet's current state are relatively unknown, even to the ground forces left holding the surface. Orbital Fleets have been scattered and scuffed through violent engagements near the colony. With communications down, it is safe to assume that the ground forces are uncoordinated and, at worst, unaware of the threat. Local insurrectionist forces have been recorded using the tundra regions of the planet to coordinate raids on UNSC compounds. Covenant forces were expected to make landfall en mass shortly after. Their goals were uncertain, as always. As Atis IV was a key strategic manufacturing planet for arming the outer set of human colonies, it could've been to hamper the war effort. It is unknown if any technology of interest was on the planet surface either. Loss of life is unrecorded. Military action is unknown. Final outcome of the Battle for Atis IV is yet to be updated.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to a new Halo RP! Here, we're taking a bit of inspiration here and there from the 'Reach' scenario. Planetary Defence, the fine line between preventing Covenant glassing all the whilst uncovering the underlying ancient secrets that lay within the planet's underbelly. Specific story aspects are obviously going to be kept hidden for the time being, as this is an interest check, but there are a few things I do want to go over. Whilst the story, as it stands now, is based around the UNSC forces stationed on Atis IV at the beginning of the invasion, I am open to the potential of branching out and taking the cast elsewhere, such as in pursuit of the fleet or whatnot. However, right now, it's focused on the defence of the colony until further notice or demand.
Secondly, the RP itself is taking a look at the UNSC's main forces, not the Spartan Programme nor Special Warfare Group. I feel like it'd be more interesting to cover the lives, struggles and relationships between the regular forces. Now, when I say regular, I don't limit it to the casual UNSC Marine. We branch out to several different parts, such as the UNSC Army, UNSC Marines, ODSTs and other collaborative forces that would partake in the defence of the planet. We don't all have to follow one branch, as I'm currently open to the idea of having us be a part of several others, all coming together as the situation begins to grow worse and worse overtime.
Going in-depth here at the moment will probably leave me less open to changes down the line, so I'll keep the interest check brief apart from that. There are other scenarios I've got lurking around, such as the original Fleet Stranded on a Shield World that was implemented in a two-year old Halo RP back yonder. So, I'm open to ideas on the case. If you're happy with the idea presented above, then that's also cool with me. I'd rather discuss what the RP may be like through questions asked by anyone who is interested, which are more than welcome! I know it isn't a lot to go off so far as I've kept it brief, but I hope you enjoy the idea of the roleplay and would like to partake in this! Feel free to ask anything on your mind below!
