On the barren ground of an alien planet, a convoy was slowly advancing. There were three armoured vehicles at the front and the back, four transport vehicles in the middle, a towing vehicle with a bulky-looking mecha crouched on top. To the left and right of the convoy, a mecha was following. Further ahead, a scout vehicle was leading the way.
"All units, be advised, we are about to leave the safety zone. There is no sign of enemy activity at present. We will rendezvous with the mecha warriors supporting us in about thirty minutes."
In the overall communication channel, a sound from the scout vehicle was heard. They were not only driving the scout vehicle at the very front, but also controlling unmanned drones to survey the surroundings. The Federation had numerous scouting satellites in the near orbit of the alien planet, but the critical situation of the third base, as well as other combat zones requiring the support of scouting satellite resources, limited their use.
