After two crews on the Dropship #13-02313 are lost, other Marines become
superstitious and give the unlucky ship to rookie Lt. "Cutter" Colby. Cutter
flies twenty missions without casualty; under her charge, the ship is renowned
as "Lucky 13". Cutter, loyal to her craft, passes up upgrading to newer
models. On its last mission 13 is shot down, but all its occupants survive.
The troops evacuate as Cutter occupies enemy combatants; when overwhelmed,
Cutter sets 13 to self-destruct to kill as many enemy troops as it can. After
reaching the trench, Cutter watches as the ship does not detonate until enemy
troops take over, where 13 takes them all down with her. Cutter is awarded
numerous medals and a cutting-edge new ship, but she longs for one more
mission with Lucky 13.
