Shock Force: Chapter 1

Master Sergeant Crowley stood at the door of the newly created Echo Company. One of the many companies that would make up the Marine Shock Forces, a force of Marines specially trained to board Covenant ships and take the fight to the Covenant. With the inadequacy shown so far in the war between the United Nations and the alien forces of the Covenant the higher ups had seen fit to make sure they had their own elite force. Ship to ship the UN forces would never defeat a larger force. However if they could get their own highly trained, incredibly deadly Marines on an enemy ship, it would be in their favor. The new force was quickly made by pulling the best soldiers from every part of the UN forces. All here, and Crowley was going to train them.

Crowley himself was five foot nine, with close cropped white hair abnormal for his 43 years. He had fought to retake Harvest, he had watched them glass Madrigal, now he had a chance to fight back. He would create the most deadly force ever to be seen. He smiled and pulled his patrol cap down on his head.
