Insertion and Extraction

Insertion Methods:
Orbital Drop in Stealthed Drop Caps
	- This could look like a meteor shower
Low Orbit Drop in Power Armour/Grav Chutes
Deployment Via Lander/Shuttle (with Stealth)
Deployment Via Main Vessel (if stealthed and capable of landing in a 
sea or the like). 
Infiltration as part of civilian crew/traffic
 
Extraction
Grav Belt to High Altitude RV with Stealthed ship
Stealthed Main Vessel (return to the sea, board ship, escape 
offworld)
Stealthed Lander
Skyhook Extraction System on fast pass of stealthed lander
Exfiltartion as part of civilian crew/traffic
Go to ground for later extraction or to help in later operations (go 
Native!) 

These are just some suggestions. Perhaps Los or some of the others 
have some suggestions. The trick is to make an undetected approach to 
the planet for the Jump Capable ship (for both Infil and exfil 
operations) and to extract/insert the troops from the atmospheric 
envelope without detection (either by camouflaging them as something 
like meteors or by having anti-detection tech good enough to prevent 
any detection). 

My 0.02. 

Tom.
