The mass of big, box winged cargo jets were escorted by several dozen sleek looking fighters. There were squadrons of F-133 Valkyries, along with F/A-131s for attack and EW. The aircraft were all running at full stealth and EMCON, their Athena systems engaged.
The men sat in the redlit bays of the massive C-82 'Atlas' transports. They looked like the elite troopers of a scifi movie. They were certainly elite, and their gear was certainly high tech. The 55th Legion had swept through Markov, decimating the Markovian military in the areas around their cities and plains. They clutched a variety of futuristic looking weapons, M32, M9 rifles, grenade launchers, M280, M55, machineguns, M27 sniper rifles, and a variety of other weaponry. Enhanced optic/Lowlight/Thermal goggles sat on their helmets, along with a VHUD. They wore M110 battledress and were SLICS linked.
"STAND UP!"
"HOOK UP!"
And so it went. The hold glowed green now, as the doors opened and wind whipped the jumpmasters. The men began to jump, the entire legion making the drop, along with some LAUV from cargo aircraft (Light Armored Utility Vehicle).
Meanwhile the 28th Airborne Legion was making another drop to their west. The mission would be to secure the beachead of this new land. With expansion in Southern Africa, the Drake family had no intention of stopping its conquest.

The 12th and 13th Assault Fleets rolled through the waves, en route to the new land. All that remained was holding it.
