I like how there was no lead-up posts. It makes Telar's development process, and the fact that it was made in the current year, 2026, much more believable than in 2010-2018.
If I were a moderator, I would easily void your post.
The VAC-71 "Ghost" (the Erinamese black stealth jet) flies above Kintharia and notices a Steel Legion encampment 47.2 miles NNE of Lyos. It's huge guys. Sensors indicate that they've been digging out a huge underground network there, and are trying to make a labyrinth (so to speak) to throw soldiers off and to get them lost. I can't send in any ERLU-11 scouting mechs from Lyos, because their batteries will not last them the trip, and trying to send them in from above land would be stupid.
Our options are these:
Operation SWARM: Send in a massive army of ONLY mechs to do the job.
OR
Operation forget-stuff-UP: Do not intervene with mechs and allow all PHMA ETOSD Units to perform a single orbital laser strike on the place and turn their base instantly into a giant smoldering crater.
Pick one.
