Resurgence - Blakist Landing

== The First Blakists touch down on Abbeville ==
Explosions, lasers, and missiles were flashing all across the front viewport of the bridge.  Lume was the lead dropship as the formation began their rotation for descent.  Weapons batteries across the hull were firing in numerous directions as the RAF aerospace fighters swept between the vessels.  At first it looked like they would be easily taken care of. When it came to aerospace superiority, no chances were being taken.  Spectral Series fighters were already deployed. 
However, the Republic forces rallied, probably to the mindset of them continuing fighting the Jihad their dead leader thought he was victorious against.  Lume’s Captain continued issuing orders and giving directions to his bridge staff as they broke through the atmosphere.  He looked up at the other dropships trailing him, all present….. except Spia. While he was so engaged in giving orders, he missed the fireball hurtling toward the planet. 
He could see the dying dropship veering severely off course on the 3D hologram showing naval units and their locations. A few moments later, the formation broke into three groups and began travelling laterally towards their final landing zones. By now, the RAF fighters had broken off contact and were heading back to their fleet while the Spectral fighters were keeping in formation with the dropships.
All three dropship clusters landed a few kilometers out from the Capital City of Cottonport.  Lume landed closest to a small town, hull weapons searching for targets.  Both bay doors flew open and six Battlemechs charged out.  Splitting into two groups they began moving through and around the town.  Battlemechs were deploying from all of the dropships to create a perimeter.
Three hulks of dead mechs were found just outside of town, small wisps of smoke still emerging.  Not finding any enemy forces, they began looking over what happened finding many tracks from both vehicles and Battlemechs. 
“This is Demi-Precentor Moril, Level III, secure the perimeter to include the town.  We will operate from this location.  Charlie Level II begin scouting the surrounding area.”
Confirmation pings lit up across his HUD.  His Battlemech, a Pillager, began marching down the ramp, observing his Level III’s movements to secure the area.  Precentor Magnus had expressed that the planning for the invasion corridor did not include stumbling upon a fleet of vessels from a now homeless nation on the first planet they jumped to.  He wanted to take the planet from them with minimal forces to preserve the bulk of his personnel, Battlemechs, and Naval capabilities.
Moril marched his Battlemech into the center of the village both observing Battlemechs maintaining the perimeter and seeing the support personnel pouring into the village to secure the empty buildings. Based on training, the LZ should be fully operational in a couple of hours at most.
