Additional Information and Orders:

Expected drop within 10 km east of enemy line. All Trinary/Supernova commanders to transmit confirmation of completed drop on tactical channel 83. Commanders are free to move to engage defending line of armor upon confirmation of drop. Units are to push through as noted on their position maps.

The 3rd Drakons is a very experienced unit; the 5 remaining companies consist of troops who are survivors of previous Clan Wolf invasions on other worlds. No surrender is expected, but will be honored if offered. J-3 expects that there will be constant battle from the start. The defending troops are fanatical in their devotion to protect their home world. If need be, Galaxy Commander Furey will bring in the Bronze Keshik (included in the bid for the world) to relieve units of the battle clusters for rest and refit.
