The aircraft is detected on Chain Home, and 8 P-108s are scrambled to intercept the aircraft. Given that the plane must fly slow to deploy the ground forces safely, it is no match, and is quickly downed, killing both the crew, and half the operatives. The pilots spot that the hostile was dropping objects in to the water:

Pilot: "Bloodhound One to base, the cat bastard was dropping objects in the water. Couldn't see what it was, but I'd advise sending a search vessel. Bloodhound One out."

Controller: "Bloodhound One this is base, confirmed, we are sending a Dathomir your way now. If you see anything on the surface, kill it, those buggers deserve neither mercy nor pity. Base control, over and out."

One of the pilots sees something in the water, and begins strafing it with laser fire....

OOC: AIF is in a state of war, with Axis air attacks expected any day, not to mention anything Cattirian is to be shot on sight by AIF forces. So, you'll be intercepted long before the previously known air defense line.
