You will soon be a commander of a CLSV-601 Command APC, assigned to
active duty on the Crayven heavy cruiser CSS ASTRID attached to 34th Assault
Regiment located to the contested colony of Krig-7B. As a field commander in
the 34th Assault Regiment you will be required to configure your own strike
team as appropriate for missions assigned to you. You and your squads will be
transported to designated combat zones on the planet surface in UV/4
Dropships, where you will personally lead them into battle to complete your
mission objectives. Between active combat duty you will be accommodated
aboard the CSS ASTRID.
The acquisition operation on Krig-7B is under a joint corporate-military jurisdic-
tion and your commanding officer on this campaign will be Director Enrica
Hayes. All information regarding this operation is to be viewed as strictly confi-
dential. Breach of confidentiality will lead to summary execution according to
directive #9, paragraph 65.
To your aid you have received the Ground Control Direct Command Interface
System (GC-DCIS) and the Field Commander’s handbook.
Remember the Crayven Corporation allows you to be all you can be!
