The Paratrooper Drop
The Reaver airborne assault whose troop transports Florin's soldiers later captured.
Story so far
Referenced in passing as Carl explained why the party took ground transport: Florin's soldiers had captured a Reaver airship, one of the troop transports used for the paratroopers. Nobody dared fly it while Calliope still circled above The Reaver Castle, so the captured Reaver Troop Transport Airship sat unused and the convoy crossed The Ash Plains on the ground instead.
Role
The prior airborne assault whose surviving transports became crawler salvage.
Relationships
Reaver Troop Transport Airship — The type of craft used in the drop.
