So were those words spoken as a large landgrab was underway for the control of Irathria. I very large landmass; rich in natural resources. A SP Nimitz class carrier sat off the coast loaded to the brim with Air-Surperiority fighters, AWACS and interceptors. While Harpers Ferry class Amphibious Assailt Support ships and frigates loaded to the brim with soldiers to secure the island.
Three C5 Galaxy's flew overhead in a Wing formation. Each loaded with 345 Paratroopers which was an immidate 1035 troops. 1/3rd were strategic engineers to place a forward base and establish small forts in strategic points to hold off any other Nations from taking this claimed land mass. Meanwhile LCM-8's galore; 4 LCM's per Austin which meant there would be LCM W/ 200 troops each; which meant another 8000 men landing (If I did my math right. 4 LCM's, 200 Men, 10 Austins. Which would be 4 x 200 x 10) the beaches while the Nimitz which slowed to a halt several miles off the coast.
Meanwhile upon the Nimitz the crew gathered upon the flight deck to see the air above the island be absolutely covered in Parachutes as 1000+ soldiers dropped in to secure the tropical island.
After several minutes of watching the C5's were now directly over the island and the green and other assorted color camo parachutes filled the skies above it. They looked like a swarm of ants which would soon engulf the island. Spreading like a plague grabbing what land they could. Once the Perimiter secured; civvie transport for colonies would arrive. This very small fleet of 10 LSD-41 Whidbey's, 15 Frigates, 1 Nimitz and 1 O-Project Heavy Battle Cruiser filled the straight of 'Gilgamesh'.
The deck of the Nimitz yelled in cheers as from what could be seen all of the troops landed safely. All within the designated area of the center farthest most South-East island. In as a way to raise morale; a single and full broad side of all 4 batteries of 380mm Batteries let loose a volley of 12 shells. These shells set to detonate after 5 seconds in flight; were fireworks. Gigantic shells filled with fireworks which were fired at the guns 75 degree 'High' angle. Straight into the sky in which for all of these small natives to see as well as the troops. The loud roar of the ETC 380mm guns was apparent as a immense flock of Birds could be seen taking flight from the heavily forested island as soon as the guns were fired.
Now As the LCM's returned tractors and other heavy duty equpment were loaded on to help start building.
