Zone troops landed in second bridgehead

Troops from the 46th Light Brigade (Zone) have been landed at a second bridgehead 40km north of Landing Point A. Landing Point B (not officially named by the HCS yet but its a safe assumption) was first secured by Red Lizard before the landing of Zone troops from Intruder landing ships began.

HCS sources indicate the Zone troops may be the ones used to attack the main Lornaca defence positions because the bulk of Lornacan fighters are Zones. It is hoped the Lornacans will not want to fight fellow Zones, but if they do then the Zones will do a good job anyway. Air attacks on Lornacan positions have continued, 2 A-84 bombers were reported lost in a mid-air collision, the first Clone casualties of the attack to date.
