Space above B7R:
The
Arccos hung back behind the Ragnarok dropships. Beside it, there was a brand new Sand Demon Dropship, the
Claire. Corgan sat in the cargo bay wearing his custom Impulse armor, looking at the seven
tanks that were the backbone of his Company. Half of the Reavers company was all around him, most wearing Styrling-Muur armor. They were essentially strapped to the deck to keep from moving around in the event of a direct hit.
Currently, he only issued the Impulse to the highest ranks. They just didn't have enough to go around, and most were being used by the infantry. They would be inside of some pretty tough
ADNR coated with titanium alloy, then covered in hardened tungsten alloy, ceramic plates and
Durandium Alloy that are interlocked for rigidness and strength. The Impulse armor was more in case they needed to get out of their vehicles.
He looked around the cargo bay at the 5
APCs that would be accompanying them. Another Company would be riding in those. They were here too, the whole Company sitting in another group next to the Reavers. Corgan didn't know their CO but he looked like a grizzled veteran. He felt intimidated by the guy despite being able to bench press him.
The rest of the cargo bay was empty, but even with a seemingly light load, the central area of the cargo bay was extremely cramped. In the side areas, they managed to fit half of the Company's ten
supply trucks. They were loaded with ammunition and supplies, mostly for the vehicles.
Inside the
Claire were the other five supply trucks, five
mobile artillery vehicles, and five
support vehicles. The rest of the Company was onboard as well.
As the ships descended into the atmosphere, they dodged incoming fire the best they could. Thankfully the U-1s and Corona dropships drew most of the fire. A few times the
Arccos took glancing blows resulting in hardly any thanks to the shields. The
Claire took a direct hit, and the shields managed to hold. Another hit and they would be defenseless.
The
Claire fell back behind the
Arccos, using the relatively unscathed ship for cover.
