a Second Miss Space

A collection of islands near the Indian Ocean and South China Sea, they are on the frontlines of the BETA invasion. Vietnam is partly contested with a well established beachhead into BETA territory, while Malaysia and Singapore have been mostly successful in retaining their territories. There are a plethora of multinational military bases all throughout these islands, mostly operating from the naval bases from the last major human conflict, World War 2. While remnants of larger Asian nations' militaries aid in defense of the battlelines, this front particularly relies on mercenary assistance in direct actions.
