Several ships of the NAR AWF warp in. They hover in low orbit above the planet, just above a relatively largish island, approximately 25km by 25km, with a large mountain in the middle, just named by they crew of the NARNS Highlander, as High Rain peak. This is because the island is near the equator, and the temperatures in the summer get just above freezing on hot days.

In order to get on the planet's surface, creative methods must be used. First, a probe is warped down to the surface, in order to see if warping down is a viable solution. However, the probe lands 450m above the designated target, and falls to its death. The next plan is tried. 24 shuttles load up with supplies, equipment and personnel, and prepare to descend. However before they descend, the fleet blasts several aerogel clouds with missiles in order to give the shuttles an easier job.

The shuttles quickly descend in the small window created, and eventually make it to the surface, with some careful maneuvering. However, four shuttles are destroyed, and six more are damaged.

On the surface, the damaged shuttles are turned into buildings, such as barracks, a mess hall, and a workshop. The soldiers then begin to construct a small outpost, while several ships warp back to earth to pick up more supplies.
