BRIEFING

Commander, as I am sure you are aware we have almost completely annihilated all the threat of the Rebels. Their new units, which Intel believes the Rebels call 'Furies', as you saw in your previous mission, have all been anihilated. The Rebels have been pushed back to Venus now, Commander. Here is where it ends. The Rebels are on the defensive here, Commander, so heavy threats to your base are not likely. However, a secure base is essential. Establish a sizeable force and wipe them all out.

Here is the satellite view of the area:

The enemy base is located at the large red cross. It is surrounded by a very large, possibly synthetic wall. You are on this wall, at the smaller, green, cross.

OBJECTIVES

 

Another thing, Commander. Comms has picked up a squad of enemy commandos who, it is believed, have been charged with your destruction. DO NOT DAWDLE. These are crack troops, and you should watch out for them during the execution of this mission. Only try to destroy them if you are in a tank of some sort. You would not stand a chance on foot.

 

--General G. Collins
