St. Lawrence, Cassandra. Members of the 204th Moritas rush to lick their wounds after sustained fighting.

 

 

CASSANDRA, CASSANDRA ‒  As the planet approaches the turn of the century, Cassandra has found itself as the setting for vicious fighting once more. This most recent Arachnid offensive following the disaster on Tango Urilla has resulted in Cassandra's falling under siege with renewed vigor. After making significant strides against the endemic Arachnid population last year, the self-named capitol now finds itself within range of bloodthirsty Arachnids.

Combined forces from the 204th and the 95th working to prepare evacuation zones for civilians in the Deston Wash.

 

"Very hot, very dry, and very unforgiving."

Sgt. Marie Cristobal clears sand from the receiver of her Morita. 

"They're bolstered, now, and they're making quick work of a lot of good men and women."

 

Sgt. Cristobal and her unit were formerly stationed in Spain, working alongside civilians to rehabilitate Barcelona.

When the Tango Urilla disaster occurred, her unit was one of the many called out to face the Arachnid threat.

 

"I'm lucky, I fought Bugs on Dionysus not too long before we were sent to earth. Our unit was split, with one half working Terra, an' the other working Mars. A lot of the rookies we get haven't had the pleasure of going toe-to-toe with Bugs until Cassandra."

 

Sgt. Cristobal knocks the remaining dust out of one of the Moritas. 

A train of troops marches across the dusty streets of Cassandra, carrying their wounded in slings and stretchers.

With many areas of the planet subject to evacuation orders, the residents of Cassandra are no strangers to upheaval and hardship.

The elephant in the room remains; the prolific 112th once played an instrumental role in subduing Arachnids on Cassandra in 2298.

Now in a fugitive state, troopers like LCpl. Tyrese Wilkes feels resentment toward the outlaws;

 

"It's a travesty, man. We need all the guns we can, and when we need 'em most, they're gone."

Arachnids have entrenched themselves in Cassandra's poles, where temperatures can drop to as low as -50°C.

 

Gen. Florian Schmidt has assumed command of operations on Cassandra. When asked to comment on the situation, he had this to say.

 

"The situation on the ground is not a pleasant one; Arachnids have entrenched themselves with incredible speed, and have made maintaining logistical connections between Mobile Infantry assets difficult. They think that they can break us, and try and make us have Cassandra go the way of Dionysus or Percy's Landing, but our resolve has never been stronger. If the Arachnids want it, they're going to have to work for it."
