Detail:
Two imperial transports were despatched to the Ipswich system in order to maintain peace during the local "Million Paws Walk", transport 1 containing Sithprincess & Phillip and transport 2 containing Buzzard, Lei & Karen. Through expert planning and coordination both imperial transports arrived within minutes of each other, parking together just outside of the intended target area in order to avoid rebel detection. As per standard mission protocol, trooper Buzzard began to armour up, when suddenly, a rebel x-wing pilot appeared! As Buzzard reached for his E-11 in order to quickly despatch the enemy he noticed something suspicious. The small dog accompanying the rebel pilot had a Redback Garrison patch sewn onto her coat. Switching to interrogation mode, Buzzard discovered that the "rebel" was actually Trooper Sithprincess, cleverly carrying out a counter-operation designed to draw out any true rebel sympathisers (Fortunately for the local population, all attending were loyal to the Emperor and no disintegrations were necessary). As Sithprincess was in disguise, she was able to loan Lei her crewman outfit in order to help strike awe into all present.



After registering the imperial canines and meeting up with Skylark, our first priority was to show the denizens we meant business and a random citizen was interrogated as an example. Due to this display, we had no trouble from the locals for the duration of our mission.



As the start of the walk approached, the MC began making his announcements. As most locals were standing around listening and not heading to the start line, the MC commented, "Hmmm, what's the best way to start this?" as he gazed around, not completely sure what to do next, he spotted Trooper Buzzard. Eyes lighting up with the opportunity to show further loyalty to the empire, he announced, "Everybody follow the stormtrooper!"

Not one to shy away from a challenge and always willing to lead citizens to the Emperors will, Buzzard moved quickly to the start line and began the march. Everyone followed obediently as expected and soon were moving along at various paces and fully enjoying the fresh air, sun and pleasantness that the day had brought. Once the circuit was completed we allowed all the opportunity to mingle freely and visit the various stalls and of course, take holopics with the empires finest.

Oh, and for some unknown reason, one confused person brought along a Llama.

Counting our mission as complete, we returned to the transport, dearmoured and returned to base.
