The second chapter in the New Eden/Tactical Asteroid RP. While going on shore leave for some R&R, the combined forces of the scouting fleet, the Kig-yar empire, and the Back with a Vengeance are under attack. Several ten thousand mercenaries who previously resided in the depths and lower levels of the asteroid decided to attempt a hostile takeover of the upper levels. Further assessment of the situation revealed that a much larger plot was in motion; a mysterious faction had hired a squad of thirty Black Fang agents, and an additional six renowned bounty hunters to assassinate the three THDF members amidst the confusion of the uprising. As per emergency protocol, New Eden activated a crystalline energy shield around the entire asteroid, preventing anything from leaving or entering the atmosphere, with the exception of a certain device exlusive to Drullkus Industries.
THDF leader, Fox McCloud, and sangheili Trol 'Lolamee arrived late in the initial stages of the conflict, and are currently in orbit, unable to enter through the shield. The Unnamed Field Marshall, Drullkus, and Andare are dueling a naga named Minnae, one of the elite six bounty hunters. The kig-yar Lord of the STARS is assisting elsewhere on the surface.
Meanwhile, a mysterious Covenant ship has crash landed on the planet neighboring a New Galactic Republic training facility.
(I'll try to be as consistant with the theme as possible; we'll discover quite a few things here)
