The XCOM project was mankind's first and last line of defence against unknown threats from beyond the stars. It failed. Xcom base was overrun, its forces scattered and ADVENT came into power. Humanity's resistance was scattered and insurgent forces fought a guerrilla war back against the occupying power.
One of the things humanity's resistance quickly learned was the aliens tendency to abduct humans. As time went on, and the aliens learned more, the nature of the abductions changed, for the aliens showed a keen interest in female specimens. Males were now killed on site, while females were captured. Some operatives had even managed to escape after this, spreading tales of foul and immoral acts forced upon them, for some unknown purpose. But since it was exceedingly rare for the aliens to ever kill a female, even one fighting against them, women of war became humanity's best chance at survival.

"In order to re-establish our efforts in resistance, we need to secure a method of transportation. Currently, we've been forced to rely on ground based transport which has hindered our efforts greatly. That changes today. We've identified a hangar where one of our Skyrangers is being stored.
An attack organised on an ADVENT convoy in the area has given us a window, as the majority of the garrison forces have been called out to respond. You'll need to move fast, as they could return at any moment. Find the hangar, secure the Skyranger, and then fly it out of there."
The operational instructions came over radio as they sat in the back of the truck, waiting. They say waiting is always the hardest part. But soon they'd be on site, and their mission would begin.
