The Arachnid Quarantine Zone was established in 2352 after the disastrous first contact with a Terran survey team. The Terran Council ruled that it would not recognize any settlements within the Zone, and that they could expect no intervention from Terran authorities. In 2367, a large religious group, citing grievances with the "godless Terran republic", emigrated to Dantana. A month ago, Tac Recon began receiving distress calls from the AQZ. Despite the embargo, the Terran Council has decided to intervene. The survivors of Dantana will be brought back to tell their story. Terrans and Bugs cannot co-exist! Good afternoon, Lieutenant. We are currently three parsecs deep in the Arachnid Quarantine Zone. The Rodger Young is holding stationary orbit above the planet, Dantana. MI 1st Division has been assigned responsibility for the rescue of Terran dissidents within the Zone. The decision to evacuate these colonists has been ratified by the Terran Council, overruling the UCF interdict prohibiting Federal action within the AQZ. Your strategic objectives are as follows: Your strike team will drop into the northern prairie of New Deseret. We have had no response from Fort Joe Smith, which is the main habitat in your mission sector. We suspect that arachnids may have already overrun the settlement. However, Tac-Recon are still registering low-level Terran power signals in the area around the fort. Your team must investigate Fort Joe Smith. If no colonists are found there, you must investigate the other structures in your mission area: the Comms Station, the Power Generator, and the Condenser Array. Tac Recon have detected a new bug type. They're calling it the Hopper. Make sure you take a specimen capture weapon, in case you encounter one of these creatures. This is a bug planet, and we are deep within their Zone. Engage the enemy when necessary, but try to minimize danger to your troops. Xenographic analysis indicates a heavy bug presence in your mission sector. The tunnel network is extensive. Proceed now to assemble your strike team. Summary of Objectives 1. Locate and investigate Fort Joe Smith. 2. Rescue Terran survivors. 3. Capture a Hopper bug specimen.
