4.1: We have confirmed a new Ravager transport ship, and it's several times bigger than any previously encountered model. And of course, it can also hold a vast number of giant monsters. You are to proceed and engage immediately.

Storyline
Storm Team arrives to the outskirts of an unnamed city and the Tactics Officer inform them about the new Transport Ships they have already encountered previously and a Ranger the exclaims that it's huge.

The ship, that can be seen, in front suddenly opens and the TO reports that giant insects are dropping from it. HQ orders to destroy the ships, so she explains that the ships' outer hull is indestructible and it's insides has to be shot when it opens, which is the same tactic that was used on the original Transport Ships. HQ then repeats what she said with less and shorter words, so every soldier can understand.

When the ship is destroyed the TO confirms it and suddenly another two appears out of the blue, which leaves some of the soldiers baffled. TO then checks some readings and confirms that they did indeed teleported out of nowhere. HQ says that it's impossible and Ohara explains that space is too big for normal transport so method similar to teleportation is needed to travel from planet to planet. Against all odds, his explanation seems to actually make sense, which surprises even him. HQ asks if they really have this technology to which Ohara tells that this way they can carry unlimited supplies. While they are discussing this, a soldier reports that the ships are dropping more bugs and the next wave starts.

When all spiders are dead three new ships appear. HQ gives an attack order again. During the ongoing fight the Aurora Situation Report reporter with the bad microphone reports that Deroys are being dropped and 300 of them has been already confirmed. Eventually the last bugs and ships are destroyed and the mission ends.

4.1 Changes
Storm Team now starts near the river on the commercial side.

There are more enemies. Some extra non-functioning ships were added for the first wave to give a much more impressive size to the Ravagers' army.

More allies were added most of them only spawn when a player gets close to them.

2025

 * A team of 3 Rangers equipped with assault rifles

4.1

 * A team of 4 Rangers equipped with assault rifles at the beginning of the mission.
 * A team of 5 Rangers equipped with shotguns and their leader with a rocket launcher appears near one of the bridges when the player is closing in.
 * A team of 5 Wing Divers equipped with Laser Lances appears near the other end of the bridge where the Rangers with Rifles are, when the player is closing in.

4.1
Bring a rapid-fire or spread weapon against the swarms of insects and a high damage weapon against the Transport Ships.

Thanks to their design these new ships can be shot from the side, so long range weapons can be useful. Air Raiders can now reliably use tanks against them, the Epsilon Armored Railgun is best suited for it since the cannon can destroy the ships while the machineguns can kill the insects.

Wing Divers can even fly on top of them to safely kill insects and destroy the ships when they open.
