Detail:
It was a perfect day. Phantom had generously offered his base again for us to park our shuttles and equip ourselves for this mission. Cavalier had been sent ahead to blaze a trail, ready for our arrival.
Once the Troop Transport arrived at the base, the deployment commenced. This turned out to be a very slow deployment, as there were a number of operations happening in our landing zone.
Upon arrival, we had an immediate impact. The second our transport stopped, the shuttle behind us blared it's warning siren repeatedly. Then, seeing Troopers alight from our shuttle, the siren suddenly became silent. "You got a problem?..... No?.... Didn't think so." LOL. It's good to be this bad.
We established a perimeter and moved our transports to the far side of the nearest moon for rapid return when we needed to extract our troops.
Cavalier reported no Rebel activity, so far. But we thought it best to give the area another sweep. It had become incredibly busy. Imperial Citizens were flooding the area. Our Troopers were being overrun with photo requests.
So a communication was sent for back-up. To which, Natwest answered the call. He parked his TIE within striking distance and made his way to the location. Just in time to arrest two Rebels who had foolishly made themselves known. The experienced eye of this seasoned Trooper was no match for those Rebel scum.
With supplies and ammo running low it was all too soon to begin the extraction. By now, it was as busy as peak-hour on Coruscant. It took longer that expected to evac all troopers. Only Cavalier was left behind to make sure that no more Rebels would surface.
All other Troopers made it back to base. And after a quick equipment check, headed to the debriefing area. The Jubilee Hotel for $2 steaks and discounted refreshments.
A glass (or two) was raised to "The Empire". And we all thought what a highly successful mission it was.
Well Done, Troopers.
Charity Funds Raised: Too much to count. All collection tins were handed back to the event organizers.
Injuries: None Reported
Malfunctions: Phantom had his knee armour blowout in the transport on the way to the location.
Public Incidents: None Reported.
Mission Status: Complete success.
