Its sun down and looks to be a clear night. We assemble at the drop-ship 4 minutes after we receive word that Wraith squad got pinned in the air security bunker after destroying the active radar and anti aircraft system there. Its an 8 minute NAP (near as possible) of the terain ride to selected drop off point 1, a hill top 3 km southeast of the southeast corner of the bunker where the vode are trapped. On the ride there everyone helps Boba Fett 03 ready the mortar system with the full compliment of assorted rounds chosen for this mission. LoneWolf 1183 and Dark Fang stock up on 2 stage explosive armor piercing anti personel rounds, for a demoralizing effect on the buddies of their victims. Orthar and Dak double check their flamethrowers and weapons. I establish comms with Wraith squad leader to determine their current sitrep. They have one Mando’ad KIA, one serverly injured, and the rest of the squad intact with minor injuries and dealing with dehydration. They arent doing to bad because they created a bottleneck inside the bunker but in doing so sealed off the exit to buy time for a rescue effort. Even though they are heavily outnumbered only a few Antarians can attack through a small corridor at a time. Their filters are dealling with the chemical agents being used against them inside but will begin to fail if they stay there for a prolonged period of time. The wall is too thick for their demo to blast a hole through to the outside but their penetrating radar shows weakness in the floor leading to a corridor connecting to the bunkers hangar on the ground level. I tell them we will be in the AO (Area of Operations) in minutes and will be executing an extraction plan 7 minutes after the first volley.
Drop off point one. We help download and position the mortar system and drop off Boba Fett 03 on the hill top, this takes less than 60 seconds. While Boba fett 03 positions the tubes and plots and paints points for his precision barrages , the rest of us use our advanced optics to recce the bunker at high speeds from a few km away in a circular pattern, snipers using there verp optics to gather firing point, and target selection data. This takes less than 2 minutes. After snipers select there drop off points on opposite sides of the bunker north and south, I give Wraith Squad leader a heads up time to first volley.
Boba Fett 03 commences with a mixed volley of assorted silent travel rounds. First a barrage of HE anti personel rounds splash the roof, powerful enough to kill the unexpecting and make the survivors run into the cover of the bunker behind the bottle necked company inside, then a barrage of HE (High Explosive), Air burst, smoke, laser dissipating aerosol rounds (read JEDI TRIAL) to neutralize all energy weapons being carried by enemy forces, and smart rounds that will land on areas guided by the GPS pointing system in the snipers weapon systems to destroy enemies hiding under cover outside. Barrages repeating every 60 seconds, or on command.
While the first volley is going off LoneWolf 1183 is dropped off at sniper position 1 and begins to take out targets of opportunity. Still moving at high speed, Dark Fang is dropped at sniper postion 2 just seconds later, taking advantage of survivors fleeing LoneWolf 1183’s sniper fire to the cover of the opposite side of the bunker where they are exposed to Dark Fangs crosshairs.
At this time I tell Wraith squad to blow a hole in the floor after we breach the outer wall of the ground level and wait for relief. While the repeating barrages and the snipers keep what’s left of the Antarian company outside hunkered down with devastating accuracy, the pilot lets loose a proton torp and breaches the wall of the bunker. The drop ship settles next to the breach in the wall seconds after the debris lands. As the dust is settling Orthar leads the entry team in and they jet pack up to the next level to link up with Wraith squad, and the drop ship takes off to circle before the next incoming volley of destruction. The entry team links up with the Wraith squad and relieves the Mandos on the defensive line with fresh eyes, minds, and ammo. Dak lays down a constant stream of hell as Ram and Orthar deploy more laser dissipating aerosol down the corridor simultaneously the Wraiths police their dead and wounded and prepare for dust off. As the pounding outside ceases Ram and Orthar unleash a string of custom linked remote thermal dets. The sound of the drop-ship signals the squad to run for the breach and load up. As Dak, Orthar , and Ram are about to head down the hole in the floor to ground level, a wall to their rear shatters and an entry team of Antarians cut them off from the breach in the floor and the drop-ship, because Antarian Rangers (X-Wing series) really arent slouches. Dak aims on the Antarians attempting to clear the corridor and opens up, dropping the first two through the hole. Orthar takes a blast to the forhead, and Ram takes a few shots to the chest, but the blaster bolts are 70% weakened from the dissipating aerosol in the air and don’t do nearly the damage intended, their Mando armor reliably protecting them. Recovered, Dak, Orthar and Ram rip through the Antarians with precisely placed shots to the necks, shoulders, and other lightly armored areas of their uniforms. I notice cracks in the ceiling from the barrages on the roof and tell Dak and Orthar to use their jet pack rockets to bring the roof down on the heads of the attacker’s make shift doorway and create a way out fast. After the shockwave of the combined blast, the three of us jet up through the hole to the roof and detonate the charges behind us. The drop ship makes a last pass as the first rounds of the next barrage begin to impact and we jet to the ship as it leaves the AO. The barrage continues as the drop-ship retrieves the snipers in flight by jet pack jumps, and heads back to pick up Boba Fett 03 and the mortar. We then head to the most forward base at high speed to tend to the wounded . Without having to engage an enemy in mass.
I know plans never work out the way you want them to but this is Star Wars and was all really up to you. My way isn’t the right or the wrong way to go about it but it was fun. Just a way I thought it could be done in a short time given this situation which was left kind of open. The next time I do this it will be a bit more detailed but will still leave room for creativity. I hope you all had fun with this. I did, and Vor’e to everyone for writing.
