As the population increased, the human race moved out into the solar system. Enormous space colonies, called `Sides',were established in orbit around the Earth. Hundreds of thousands made their homes on the artificiallands inside each of these cylinders. After one month of fighting between Zion and the Earth Military Forces,half the population of the Earth was dead. Mankind was in a state of terror. For over eight months, the war remained at a stalemate.
Rushed into service to rout Iraqi bunkers in 1991, the GBU-28 is among the largest laser-guided bombs in the U.S. arsenal. The 5,000-pound "bunker busters" have been dropped on targets in Afghanistan. Laser illumination and guidance give heavy gravity bombs greater accuracy. Their sheer speed and weight drives them deep into the ground to penetrate bunkers.
The F-117A Nighthawk fighter-bomber uses stealth technology to deliver laser-guided weapons to destroy land targets. Used extensively and successfully in the Gulf War, the radar-evading Nighthawk may be deployed to Afghanistan to strike with pinpoint accuracy.
We've finally got the earth military right where we want them. Once this Side has been conquered, they will have no foothold in the skies. Our troops have penetrated the Side?
ZION OFFICER
Yes, standard procedure. Two men inside, one left on watch.
