=Mission Details=
Objectives:
* Defend Hephaestus from the UWM counterattack. The main base is our most important objective.
* after defense, launch shuttles to board the enemy spaceships and take them for ourselves.
Special notes:
* We get to spend 1000 RU on defenses and npc troopers
==Resource spending:==
1 extra laser battery: 100 RU to ensure full air cover
2 Steve bots/mission 7 bots: 2x25 = 50 RU one for extra defense of the batteries, one for Reserve team (or both for batteries, depends
2 laser battery defenses (one for the one we have, one for the one we'll build): 2x10 RU = 20 RU
2 heavy artillery: 2x30 = 60 RU for shelling enemy and ensuring they can't outgun us from range
6 mortars on rails: 6x 15 = 90 RU fire support, lower range but more bang per buck (rails ensure we don't waste resources placing mortars where they don't attack anyways
5 Light Infantry Sod Squad: 5x 50 = 250 main npc support, flexible enough to face most threats but cheap enough that losing a squad isn't the end of the world. [spoiler=Light Infantry Sod Squad]
* 1x squad leader: Laser rifle, monorazor, comms pack (other troopers carry smaller comm devices), 1x frag nade, 1x smoke nade, general supplies (knife, an extra clip for rifle, binoculars, a flare, little bit of rations,... basically, stuff you'd expect a soldier to have
* 1x heavy weapons expert: rocket launcher (frag rounds (infantry), shaped charge rounds (heavy armor) and homing missile (aerial, think like a stinger), handlaser, metal baton, general supplies
* 1x support trooper: Laser rifle, 1 Emergency kit, metal baton, 1 scout eye, blowtorch, wirecutter, computer cables and small crap (basically this is medic/aux/handiwork support trooper, so i think you get the idea), general supplies
* 2x grenadier: Gauss rifle, special gauss ammo (1x redshot, 1x AP round), metal baton, 2x frag nades, 2x smoke nades, 1x EMP nades, 1x flashbang, some spare ammo for heavy, general supplies
2 Sod Sniper Squad: 2x 25 = 50 RU specialized npc's for ranged coverage (and more flexible and subtle than artillery, though not as powerful [spoiler=sod Sniper Squad] Genemodded sods, at least one commander grade
* 1x sniper: Gauss rifle customised for ranged combat, special gauss ammo (3x AP, 2x Red shot, 1x melter round), handlaser, cameyes, stealth system (nothing too fancy, something like the spray-on adaptive camouflage), small jump pack for reaching difficult places, general supplies
* 1x spotter: Gauss rifle or shotgun, monorazor, cameyes, 1x smoke nade, 1x flashbang, ammo for the sniper rifle, stealth system, small jump pack, general supplies
10 remote imaging drones: 10x 3 = 30 RU
Jetpacks for reserve team: 15 RU
1 clankerbot weapon: 1x 15 = 15 RU
planting bloater trees at the dropsite: 0 RU
inner circle of 6 bunkers (90 RU), defending the base 'close to home'
Rest of budget: modified ships
==Ships==
In addition to the Sword and its shuttles, we have these ships at our disposal:
*The Blackship: a fast, sleek, and stealthy interstellar dragster ship. "Armed" with point-defense lasers, most useful as a scout during the battle.
*The Party Wagon: an atmospheric dropship refitted from a Courier. Armed with 8 cutting laser turrets and a pair of 10-kiloton fusion missiles. Very fast, assigned to Team G - Mobile Reserve.
*The Black Death: a flying plasma cannon refitted from a Blackship-alike. Very fast, can get anywhere on the planet within 40 minutes, and anywhere in orbit within 10. Armed with a giant plasma cannon powerful enough to cripple capital ships, but has no staying power. Carries six shots. Emergency use only.
*Tweedledee and Tweedledum: the pair of standard hauler ships, the second one modified with FTL travel in mind. Both were given a pair of cutting laser turrets for close air support. Can be used by anyone.
*The Southern Cross: heavy assault ship, refitted from a space tug. Heavy frontal armor, armed with four laser cannons and PD lasers. Intended to be used for ship assault after the invasion, but can provide support if really needed.
*The Merchant: large cargo-carrying freighter, not modified and noncombat. Can be used for orbital salvage ops after the battle.
Captured ships
* Alpha: a battleship, rear of the ship has exploded. Lost environmental and main engines, still have weapons and maneuvering. Power failing, structural integrity failing. Evac called, ship good for one final shot.
* Beta: another battleship, damage to the forward, left laser battery. Right side battery gone. Main cannon gone, malfunctioning auto-manip. Set to collision course. Evac called.
* Gamma: small ship. Destroyed, all hands lost.
* Delta: small ship. Damage to forward armor and nearby sections. Main cannon auto-manip damage, system may be unstable. Prep for evac.
* Epsilon: Small ship. Damage to forward armor, no breach.

==Defense Teams==
Underlined: team leaders, I just picked whoever if it wasn't obvious who it ought to be, you can change this if there's consensus within that team. I don't expect a team leader to be any good at his job, roleplaying intense incompetence could be very !fun! after all, but I do hope team leaders to be semi-active at least.
