The European Space Exploration Fleet, a vast conglomerate of nations and corporations, is currently engaging in a logistical operation to resupply a base of operations on Syria II, a planet in Sector 20. Due to unforeseen complications, the supply line has been severed, and the ESEF needs to find alternative routes to deliver the much-needed resources to the base. This poses a challenge to the fleet's logistical capabilities and necessitates a creative solution.

The 12th Squad was indeed a thorn in the European Space Exploration Force’s side. Although their number was small, they were masters of guerrilla tactics and sabotage, relying on their knowledge of the terrain and their experience to inflict maximum pain on the European Space Exploration Forces.

They also had a secret advantage—their older MG-18 Aether models, which had been refitted with technology salvaged from captured Cyanthran weapons, making them a more dangerous and formidable opponent than their numbers suggested.

Meanwhile, the Cyanthrans moved like shadows, their ships silent, their mechs bio-engineered hybrids of machine and flesh. Rumors whispered of their Hemlock Class Interceptors, fast as light and nearly impossible to detect until they were too close. For every Seraphim or Valkyrie Earth deployed, the Cyanthrans seemed to counter with technology just as lethal, just as horrifyingly advanced.
