ZendikaroftheWest *The crew agrees they have to explore the planet. The Firestorm is the only vessel with dropships on it, so it has to send a small expedition force on the ground to secure an area.
The first units to land are light infantry with the mission to set up communications.
After this heavy weaponry like tanks comes onto the ground in the second wave
The third wave will contain mostly scientific, supply and other auxiliary equipment
The managers of this exploration will come with the fourth wave of landing craft if the parameter is secure
The biggest problem is to keep everyone warm, since the planet must be very cold because nothing but nuclear decay in its interior warms it. To provide this, special shelters and space suits are a must have.
There is no way to give air support, and ground numbers are very limited, but the Firestorm is capable of limited orbital precision strikes
The 2 dropships available can carry infantry modules, capable of holding 30 infantry man each, together with some basic equipment and standard gear, like space capable suits.
The heavier modules are capable of carrying 2 tanks through atmosphere or space, in an environment with not too much turbulences
The first wave of 80 infantry men starts to land*
