Operation: Rolling Thunder
This is meant to proceed as a single campaign module within the Starship Troopers universe, though I'm not opposed to running the game if player interest is high and attrition is low.
Scenario
The TFTC Simo Hayha has entered orbit above Nepmos, an inhospitable, volcanic planet rich in heavy metals and high in strategic value for the Terran war effort. Sitting just beyond the reaches of Federation-controlled space, Nepmos marks the intersection between human, Arachnid, and Skinny space- the exemplar of "no man's land" in the known galaxy. Terran forces secured a foothold on the planet within the last galactic year, and have constructed fortifications to protect civilian and Federation mining interests, but activated an distress beacon less than twelve standard hours ago.
A highly-magnetized electrical storm is wreaking havoc on Fleet sensory equipment, and we cannot hail the colony on any comm channel. One platoon of Mobile Infantry troopers will ingress via Viking dropship, appraise and reinforce the colony as necessary, and wait out the storm planetside.
