Usean coup d'état[]
During the Usean coup d'état, landing ships were utilised by both the Usean Allied Forces and the Usean Rebel Forces. During the rebel's bomber attack on Anchorhead, a landing ship, callsign Leonid, was seen heading west for unknown reasons. The ship was later sunk by Scarface Squadron.[1] During Operation Alphaville, the Usean Allied Forces deployed Petral Coost to Rocky Island in order to assist Scarface Squadron in destroying Turntable, a geothermal power plant. After Petral Coost reached the shore, a landing team was deployed in order to open the vents so that Phoenix could fly in and destroy the core. This mission was a success.[2]
