" General Skywalker and the 501st made short work of the Separatist fleet blockading Ryloth. From what I've heard they quite literally crashed right through them, a reckless, but respectable tactic. While it cost the Republic a Venator, it cost Separatist much more. Not only was their fleet destroyed, but much of the Separatist ground troops were now in disarray. We were quick to take advantage of this, launching our gunships as soon as the Praetorian exited hyperspace above Ryloth. Despite the chaos on the ground , Separatist AA emplacements managed to make our decent to the planet's surface bumpier than usual. Once on the ground we proceeded to the 253rds secondary objective, a vineyard just north of Nabat where a Techno Union officer was holed up directing the cities defense. If General Kenobi's assault on the city was to be successful that officer had to go. The trek to the vineyard was both short and uneventful, we remained undetected by the local Separatist garrison and reached the vineyard without incident. The vineyard itself was a massive compound, walled and finely made, it looked out of place when compared to the smaller huts which the locals inhabited. Several workers met us outside the vineyards walls and led us through the compound, allowing us to bypass droid patrols and get to the Techno Union command center undetected. Unfortunately that's where our luck ran out, a panicked Twi'lek worker nearly tackled Lucky to the ground before franticly alerting us to the Techno Union officer's approaching body guards. The HK assassin droids rounded the corner and threw themselves right into my squad cutting down two of my men instantly with electro staffs and blaster fire. Despite their durability and skill, we had both the numbers and superior fire power needed to overwhelm and destroy the ancient assassin droids. Once his body guards had been dealt with, we made our way through the vineyards main structure, dispatching a few B1s on the way. We found the Techno Union Officer on a rooftop, one had on a small hold out blaster and the other fiddling with the gauges on his suit, cautious of the explosion that would result from his suit being breached and exposed to blaster fire, I had my men keep their distance and I dispatched the target with a kinetic projectile, we didn't need him alive after all. From there I had my men spread out and secure the compound while Lucky and I got to work collecting the officers data pads, computers and protocol droid."
-----------
I think I leaned a little too much into the vineyard setting, had way too much fun building the small structure (I think this means I need to build a castle). Anyway, I'm hoping to get a smallish WiD build done sometime in the next week or two (open to ideas, will definitely be a vignette of some sort). So until then, thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a good one!
