Mission 16.2: Destruction of Vandos Prime
DESIGNATION: CC-1807
NICKNAME: Scout
RANK: ARC Commander grade I
UNIT: 1st Recon Detachment, 3rd Regiment of the 253rd Elite Legion
"The Laati to my left exploded into a ball of fire sending flaming shrapnel into the troop compartment of my gunship, killing half of its occupants instantly. The Admiral had gambled with the lives of the entire Third Regiment by ordering a full aerial assault on the Vandosian lines, a gamble which he lost. The Vandosian troops were much more disciplined than Syphen had let on during his brief. Instead of turning their heavy guns on the armored columns which attacked from the ground, the Vandosian gunners had remained vigilant and watched the skies. As a result, almost a third of our forces never made it through the wall of flak that greeted us. Now it appeared that I would soon meet the same fate as many of my brothers. Lunging forward I snatched a canister of fire suppressant from the Laati's cargo webbing, but I was too late, the fire detonated a supply of thermal detonators and blew the gunship in half. Thanks to my reinforced arc armor I survived both the blast and the twenty-meter fall to the ground below. I landed in a snowdrift a mere ten meters from a Vandosian trench, luckily the drift obscured me from the pillbox which was firing at an approaching squad of troopers. They were taking heavy casualties, reaching to my belt I went to grab a thermal detonator only to find that I had lost most of my equipment in the fall. Instead, I drew both of my DC-17 blaster pistols and rushed the Vandosian trench. The snowdrift shielded me from the pillbox and I was able to reach the trench with ease. I caught the Vandosians off guard gunning down two of them as I closed in on trench. I was joined by Lucky who gunned down a third unseen Vandosian from the top of the pillbox. Nodding my thanks I dropped into the trench and quickly silenced the gun, allowing the squad to finally break cover and reach the trench. Soon all of the guns along the first Vandosian line went silent and as my men began to slowly regroup at my position, I looked out over the snowy waste at the next Vandosian trench, where even more pillboxes and soldiers lay in wait. It's going to be a long day..."

With winter break in full effect, I hope to get a couple more vigs posted before I have to head back to school. You guys can expect a 16.3 build soon along with hopefully something for world in darkness and maybe darktimes. Until then, thanks for viewing and let me know what you guys think of the build!
Also what color would go well with lavender if I was to use it for some sort of planet landscape?
