MISSION OPERATION GALUGA

MISSION BRIEFING

Year: 26XX AD. The Galuga Archipelago off the coast of New Zealand is ground zero for a mysterious meteor shower.

Six months later, the Red Falcon terrorist group invades the island, and unusual gravity waves can be detected emanating from the area.

The Earth Federation sends in the GX Army for reconnaissance, but contact has been lost. With no other viable options, the Earth Marine Corps dispatches its most elite soldiers - Bill Rizer and Lance Bean of the Contra unit - to investigate and neutralize any potential threats.

The conflict that follows turns the once-peaceful island into an all-out warzone where the fate of mankind hangs in the balance.
