CH696: Marine Unit
Hours earlier...
It was just past midnight when the leader of the Horus' Marine Unit returned to their staging base in an undisclosed location in Djibouti.
The base was secretly set up by the private military company to be the operating base for its Marine unit in handling a major plan it had for the Gulf of Aden towards the Indian Ocean, an area plagued by the infamous Somali pirates.
Horus' Marine unit had completed many contracts involving the pirates in the Aden-Indian area. Most were successful, but there were some understandable failures as well. A few of the unit's Marines were lost.
The Marine unit had more casualties in its ranks than any other unit belonging to HI-Def Soln. For this reason, the leader of the Marines had a vendetta with the Pirates!
