"Bes'laar you've got a burnt out piece of hull headed straight for you, boost left on my mark... mark! Aright you should be clear, just keep your head on a swivel. First squad does anyone have eyes on Trapper?"
"Negative Sergeant"
"Nope"
"Sergeant he was right next to me a second ago, we had to break formation to avoid a wrecked gunship, must have gone wide. Permission to turn back and look for him?"
"Negative Wedge, we can't afford to loose you too. Alright everyone tighten the formation, I want visual contact with each other maintained at all times until the long range comms can be re-established."
"I'm starting to understand why you only brought one squad out into this mess Sir, it's almost impossible to navigate and with no long range comms, well... lets just say I don't think very many of us would make it back..."
"It was actually the General's idea, he must have sensed something was wrong or foreseen the comms malfunction, either way I'm grateful he stopped me from bringing the whole company out into this graveyard."
"Hey Jester, notice anything strange about the wreckage or the bodies?"
"Besides the lack of blast marks or turbo laser damage?"
"There's no sign of any Seppie ships, it's almost as if the fleet just fell apart?"
"Maybe they collided in hyperspace? It's not unheard of."
"No that's not it, cant be there's not way a clone crew would make that kind of error, besides something just seems off. Remember Corellia? What was the point, the droids didn't seem that inclined on destroying the shipyard, what were they after?"
"You think it was sabotage Sir?"
"Maybe..."
"Galaar! Over here! Rook found something!"
"What is it Trooper?"
"Looks to be some sort of communication array Sir, what ever it is though it's not Grand Army and it appears to be completely intact."
"Rook is right, it's not GAR, but that's no Comm array, looks to be a Seppie mark twelve deep space signal jammer, but what's it doing out here?"
"Looks like you might be right after all Sir..."
"Wedge, shut this thing down. As for the rest of you form up and keep and eye out for battle droids. I don't like this one bit. Jester once our long range comms are back up see if you can locate Trapper. I'll contact fleet command and let them know what we've found, if we're lucky maybe they'll scramble fighters and we can catch a ride back to the venator, before what ever this is kicks off..."
-------------------------------------------
This was definitely a lot of fun to put together and I really wish I had more time to build it up and out with more crazy angles and debris, but with final exams next week my time was limited. With any luck I'll be home prior to the close of mission 19 and able to get another entry done.
As always thanks for stopping by and let know what you think of the build!
Have a good one guys!
