Salud!
So here I am, I'm back again! Safe upon the shore. Ish... Well... Safety is relative. Making it safe, at least. Anywho!
I reported to Grid 185 of planet Jiang Xi to oversee the deployment of the defense forces in, around, and pertaining to Sector 21/37. To be frank, defenses here are lack luster. Of course there isn't much to protect 'round here. I scoped out maps of the local area and really the only thing worth noticing was a small series of caves nearby inhabited by various forms of animal-types.
We have three squadrons of MiG-44 Atmospheric Defense Fighters for the whole of nearly three hundred square miles with various small outposts scattered hither and yon. The extent of the land defense capability of the Grid is the 28th and 56th Citizens Cavalry brigades and the 11th Citizens Defense. Most vehicles are the CE-111 Mobile Defense Platforms, with moderately balanced flak and anti-armor ammunition in the event anything actually gets on the ground. The infantry are... Well... *clears throat* They need some work.
The water tower at Outpost 2-6 needs repairs as well.
Moving on!
The residential areas of the planet seem to be adjusting well to the emergency. And... I guess I found where most of our cavalry went. Ehm... Where they should be, of course! Volgograd!
Protecting the people. Quite diligently as well. The planetary capital seems particularly adapted... Ehm, obviously, I suppose. Flak cannons and SAM sites can be seen in abundance on the roofs of various buildings and every structure above ten stories has been evacuated along with the surrounding block to avoid casualties from building collapse in the event of attack. Unfortunately, most of the city falls into this category, including the structures surrounding the primary avenues of the metropolis. Evicted citizens have been successfully relocated to bunkers for the duration of the emergency.
