DCMS Battalion Raid Inbound! DCA Dropships on Approach


This is a quick project to flesh out some of my aerospace transport assets.  I love campaigns and if your going to do a campaign on a regimental scale, then you need enough dropship assets to move your forces on world... or lose them in orbit.  The landing process is the most hazardous moment in any campaign; the fiction represents most drops as being lightly opposed but in actual game play much of the time you lose a dropship on the way in. 

This project was a reinforced battalion raiding force - 3 unions and 3 leopards in Draconis Combine Admiralty livery.  Two leapords are derived from the Gray Death Legions work on Verthandi - the Xao and the Subotai (Source is Mercenary's Star).  The third is the 'Foxhound' which you can read more about in the original 3025 TRO.  The Unions are also named from units in the lore.  The Hi No Kumo was taken by the Grey Death Legion in a raid on Imbros III in 3028 as part of the recon raids in preparation for the 4th Succession War (Source is 'A Rock and a Hard Place').  The next is the 'Red Eagle' which you can read more about its aggressive crew in the original 3025 TRO.  And Finally the Taiidan would have in inglorious employment when it sided with the rebel DCMS troops in the Ronin War - deploying rebel forces on  Bruben instead of evacuating them in 3034.  It would later be employed as a static defense position in support to the rebel stronghold of Fort Tanaka.
