A nearby KPA terminal reveals that the Koreans managed to reach a desert planet by punching in coordinates on a tablet excavated in Egypt nearly a century ago, where they made contact with a race of humans ruled by a powerful alien identifying himself as the Egyptian Sun God, Ra. KPA special forces managed to get a nuclear bomb on board his ship and destroy it, but they have reason to believe that it was not the only alien of its kind.
Over the next few days, the USMC and USN drive the KPA off the island and a cease fire is brokered to prevent escalation of the conflict. With the Ling Shan Gate now in the position of the United States Marine Corps, what happens? The universe is as it was immediately after the events of the Stargate Film (ignore calendar differences), prior to the series, however they have a functioning DHD along with the gate, and thus can become more proactively involved earlier should they opt not to bury the gate.
Crysisverse has several neat toys, most notable the Nanosuit, which grants its wearer several battlefield advantages. In armor mode it is highly resistant to bullets and even energy weapons (alien beam weapons in the games). They are capable of withstanding extremes of temperature, especially cold. In speed mode, the wearer is able to maintain an indefinite human sprinting speed, along with intermittent bursts of super-speed. In strength mode, the user is capable of jumping ~twice their own height, killing with a single punch or sending Korean soldiers flying across the room with one arm. Finally, the suits have an active camouflage system that visually resembles the Predator's cloak. The faster the user moves, the more quickly it depletes suit energy (several minutes of cloak if they're standing still, less than 20 seconds if they are running). The suit's energy regenerates quite quickly, however.
Other technology:
- Advanced VTOL aircraft, craft similar in size to a black-hawk helicopter can lift and fly long distances while carrying a Main Battle Tank. How they operate is unknown, it visually looks like it's thrust vectoring a pair of jet engines but I can't be sure.
- Man portable tactical fusion weapons. The "TAC Gun" launches an extremely low yield nuclear weapon, similar in power to an airstrike (perhaps a 250 lb bomb?), but contained within a tiny projectile. Each TAC Gun contains several warheads (3+ minimum, actual number unknown).
- Plasma Accumulator Cannon. Operating on an unknown principle, the PAC is capable of downing an attack helicopter or Humvee sized vehicle with a single shot. It's effective range is limited to ~50 meters, however. Its ammunition is effectively unlimited on battlefield timescales, but presumably needs to be reloaded between engagements.
- Advanced Gauss weaponry. Likewise capable of one-shotting a Korean HMMWV knockoff.
