[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7514495, member: 177"] Goodness, no. You've gotten into Toril-space. You've noticed that local physics has differences - the gravity plane of the ship gives that away. You don't come in hot and land. You go into orbit, and you point telescopes down. You watch. You see iron age technology. You may see some dramatic megafauna (say, dragons) or not, depending if you are lucky. You have marines on board. They know their guns are at best a holding action against a large enough force, so by no means do you land near a major city that could muster such a force. You land out in the boonies, where you may be able to learn about the local culture and language, but will be under no real tactical threat. To be honest, landing everyone at once is a tactical mis-step, as you have no reserves. You have two forces that go at the same time - one stays in orbit as backup. This should play out kind of like Stargate, come to think of it.... [/QUOTE]
