"The Fin" Docking Bay
YSS Shinigami
Skadi, Orbit
The tension could be cut with a knife inside The Fin, the centerpoint for docking onto the Sharie-Class YSS Shinigami, the vast shipyard's space brimming with activity. At least 300 soldiers of all shapes and sizes stood in hushed, orderly lines awaiting their briefing. In the fallout of their first, devastating contact with the enemy, Task Force Inquisition had been set on repairing itself and awaiting reinforcements from the nearest bases - admittedly not very close.
Now, it seemed by the call to assemble, something had changed, the day barely having broken. The person they were waiting on strode her way up to the slightly raised pavilion from where she could present to the audience, Shosho Kimberly Kier. In brisk, tidy uniform she stood at the front, gazing over the many expectant faces.
"Good morning, everyone." Their Admiral began, "As you may have heard, Command has deemed it necessary for the Task Force to pursue its directive regardless of losses suffered thus far." A few murmurs rippled through the crowd. "Therefore, we will be commencing our offensive on the planet before they can reinforce. Three Kagai have been deemed enough for the foothold you are all being assigned to take."
A overall battleplan projected in huge volumetrics on the vast wall behind the officer, showing the general plan with some detail. "Your role will be a three-pronged attack, coordinated as such. The objective is to take out the AA emplacements inside the fortress guarding the area, so we may deploy the bulk of our readied forces."
"You have been chosen to go forth as the vanguard, one Century for each landing point. 1, 2 and 3. Each Century will be further subdivided into their four constituent platoons, the leaders of which have been specifically chosen for the task."
"There may be some among you who aren't experienced with combat in the face of the enemy, indeed many of you may have questions. Your assignment will be individually laid out inside your datapads to avoid confusion."
At this point the redheaded Neko would gesture openly with her hand, the directives apparently sent. "Platoon leaders, you will also have your orders enclosed. I suggest you ready yourselves and your subordinates. You have a day to plan your initial offensives. Your platoon should be immediately around you in the line, get to know each other. Dismissed."

This is the prerequisite to the actual landing, post as much as you wish to. Platoon Commanders especially think up any variants on the proposed plans you've been given. Each Century has its own unique plan, members, objectives and landing site. Intel will be revealed as fighting goes on within the upcoming ground mission thread. Make sure you all have PA loadouts suitable for the task! The overall battleplan is all the info your character would have regarding plans other than the one for their Century. Good luck!
