An alien race called the Maltaani have made their presence known by landing a mass of troops on Balfan-48, a desert planet located far too close to Terra Earth for comfort. Tensions are rising and tempers are growing short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The UNT responds by deploying ISMC's Ninth Division aboard the flagship \u003cem\u003eAtlas\u003c\/em\u003e to the scene to investigate the Maltaani aggression.
