CP Ford (Vt. CT to CP) CT shredded (Sr. CT to Vt. CT)

“A man and his son lived in a small town many years ago. They were not extremely wealthy, but they sold flowers to the townsfolk, and that paid the bills. Over time, fewer and fewer people came to buy flowers, and the father realized that the local monastery was handing out flowers for free to people who passed by. Soon the family's situation became dire, so the father told his son to take some flowers and see if the family could supply them with flowers. The son entered the monastery and was welcomed by the monks, who showed him a lush garden where they grew their own flowers, so they didn't need to buy the family's. However, the monks were sympathetic for the young boy and realized they depended on the flowers to make a living, so they agreed to stop giving them away. The boy ran back to his father and told him the good news. "Son, let this be a lesson to you." The father said. "Only you can prevent florist friars." - CS-M Hoodo

501st Presses the Assault!

Recently, Acklay and Razor forward deployed and captured a foothold for the 501st! They found refugees in a wrecked civilian camp, and secured a forward operating base for the rest of the unit. The CIS and the Swarm are waging all-out war against one another on the mainland! Heavy CIS armor tried to stop our Acklay Troopers from getting on the mainland, but Acklay pushed them back successfully! 

The 101st has broken the blockade and sent air forces to probe enemy positions. Their aviation group, Hammer, tracked a Mandalorian Fighter piloted by someone appearing to be a 501st Trooper. Could it be the mysterious Nox? 

Avalanche Company is going to be spearheading the advance deeper into the mainland. Avalanche 1 will sweep east to clear the area and hold it against potential CIS reinforcements from the north. Avalanche 2 will secure the area of operation to the west of the already-secured beachhead. Avalanche 3 will aim to destroy the CIS armor that harrassed Acklay earlier. The most important objectives for the 501st right now are eliminating enemy forces and gaining intelligence. Razor will be flying support in trusty LAATs and the venerable Y-Wing, using EMP weaponry to minimize collateral damage. Unfortunately, the local towns have been beaten to disrepair already, but the 501st will ensure no more damage or harm comes to the citizens of Dagobah.

The 501st stranded!

 

Just when the Legion thought they were in the clear after rescuing Major Jay, tragedy struck; the 501st’s Venator smashed onto the swampy surface of Dagobah! Hailstorm Battalion has been hard at work to survive against a new-found enemy: the Swarm. While they are weak on their own, as a swarm they threaten even company-sized elements. Be sure to check your barracks for brain worms, as that’s their main method of infection. The two Swarm drones who were captured are already attempting to dig their way out of their cells using their bare hands. If The Swarm weren’t enough to deal with, the planet is also infested with pirates and CIS forces. 

 

Last operation, Cyclone Company held strong across all fronts with help from Acklay, Mynock, and Razor. Cyclone 1 defended the Venator along with Acklay, the latter of which also forayed into multiple POIs and found intelligence. Cyclone 2 rescued multiple villages worth of people. Second Platoon also found supplies and Sabre Tanks for Mynock’s use. On top of that, Cyclone 2 got a hold of some intel during their operation. Cyclone 3-1 pushed into a terrestrial comms array and sent off a distress signal. The 101st answered and is on their way! Not even Providence-class warships could keep the 101st Doom Company from assisting the 501st on Dagobah. They are expected to break into orbit very soon!

 

The 501st will need to help the civilians who are being corralled toward The Swarm’s tunnels. The Legion has also received word from a scientist who needs help. Who knows what secrets and intelligence he can share with the unit? In any case, it’s Avalanche’s turn to take the reins in the campaign and take the fight to the enemy! The plan is for Avalanche 1 to stop the kidnapping of civilians, Avalanche 2 to rescue the scientist in distress, and for Avalanche 3 to sweep the new, mysterious tunnels. Meanwhile, Razor and Acklay are making a daring move to secure new ground on the planet, but they’re being met by a massive wing of CIS fighters. Krayt’s ARC Troopers are also planning a hunt for the deceptive, shapeshifting droid Nox soon. Nox is said to be operating where Avalanche 2 plans to rescue the scientist, so they’ll have to keep their eyes peeled.
