"So let me just say... never let Clang try to negotiate ever again..."

'...You know what you did! If you just shut your mouth, we wouldn't had that......I don't care who's fault it was! You are still responsible for that outcome!'

'*Sighs* Again, why do I have him with me?'

 

'Anyways...a month after we had met with Zach and the leaders of The Survivors, we were contacted by them for our first real assignment. Apparently, from what reports suggested, Imperial presence has been revealed on the planet of Zeffo. Honestly, I had thought we had cleared them out years ago when another Jedi survivor went to that planet. But I guess you can't scare the Empire out so easily. Guess it's our turn now...'

 

'When we entered Zeffo's orbit in our fighters, we were told that there were multiple sectors of Imperial strongholds across the mountain terrains and plains. Although we were the only ones in the atmosphere, we were able to spot a few sites with smoke and blaster fire coming from multiple outposts and fortresses, which would indicate that some Survivor soldiers were on the ground as we speak. Which means...we would need to act fast.'

 

'Landing our fighters stealthily in a large crevice of two mountains, we made our way around the mountain and towards one of the many strongholds on the planet. The information about this one was that this was a research facility, one that had been specifically hidden away in the mountains, and away from other obvious outposts that you could see from the naked eye. We knew very little about what they were doing inside, but the Survivor leaders requested us to download any and all files containing any imperial information that they wouldn't want anyone to know. I figured that the less we knew, the more fun it was for us.'

 

'Halfway up the large mountain, we finally spotted our target; two platforms connected to one another, one for soldier capacity and the other for a large dish network for communication. Before we headed up, I wanted to get some reconnaissance on our enemy, so I sent Garsheen to take a quick look with his jetpack and binoculars. Complying, he headed up towards the mountain, keeping himself at a safe distance between him and any nearby enemies on the platforms. Me and Clang waited for a bit, chatting amongst ourselves about the past and a few other others before Garsheen came back down with an update. Surprisingly, there were only a few guards on the platform to deal with, much to Clang's dismay. I told him and Garsheen to expect the unexpected, cause you never know what the Empire will throw at us.'

 

'And sadly...I was right.'

 

After we made our way up the mountain quietly, we immediately reached the right side of the platform, peaking over to see the guards that Garsheen was talking about. Without hesitation, we took them all down with our blasters and pistols and immediately got to work on the doors that was build into the mountain. With his skills, Garsheen sliced through the doors and we made our way with ease. We made quick work with the other Imperial loyalist inside and was able to reach the command center, slicing into their systems and retrieving any data we could fine. While it was downloading, I did spot something that made a few repeats over the data again and again. The few words were: 2-5-6, MOFF and QAZ. None of it made much sense, but I left it as it was as we quickly made haste out of the facility, hoping that none of the nearby Imperial soldiers heard us.'

 

'And just as I said earlier, they did as they were waiting for us outside. Just as the doors slid open, we were greeted with a large squad of stormtroopers. There were about eight soldiers, one engineer, and some kind of elite black trooper. Apparently, he must have be the squad leader of some sorts. However, when the trooper spoke, it wasn't a man, but a woman. Sure could have fooled us."

________________________________________________

 

Woman Trooper: General Jisza Vylon of the New Republic, you and your team are surrounded. Lay down your firearms and surrender to us, or be shot on the spot.

 

Jisza looked between Garsheen and Clang, nodding ever so slightly to each other before replying back to the woman officer.

 

Jisza: Yeah...not gonna happen, lady.

Woman Trooper: Too bad. Cause I wasn't going to give you a choice anwyays......kill them!

 

Just as the Imperials raised their weapons at them, Jisza immediately summoned the Force and sent five stormtroopers off the platform and down to their deaths. Clang and Garsheen quickly wiped out their own firearms and began blasting at the enemy. Garsheen jetpacked towards where they had climbed up to as Clang ran behind cover near their exit, blasting the enemy with his old DC-17 blaster. While the enemy soldiers took position on the other side, the black trooper and Jisza began their fight with one another, his lightsaber deflecting her blaster shots.

 

The battle didn't last very long as the last of the stormtrooper drops to the ground with a blaster shot in the head, while the engineer was shot by Garsheen and fell right off the platform as well. Meanwhile, Jisza kept up the attack as the black trooper was getting more furious with not being able to keep up with the New Republic general. She halted their attack as Jisza aimed his saber at her, Clang and Garsheen walking up next to him with their own firearms raised as well.

 

Jisza: It's over, Imperial. Surrender!

Woman Trooper: ...Never...

 

Pulling something out from her belt, she pushes a button on the device as the sound of a large explosion was heard coming from inside the stronghold. The platform shook, causing Jisza and the others to wobble around trying to keep their balance. The trooper took her chance and ran towards the railings, jumping right off the platform. When the violent quake ended, Jisza and the others rushed towards the edge as they immediately heard the sound of a TIE-Fighter, slowly appearing right before them from below. The trooper's voice echoed out before making her escape;

 

Woman Trooper: The commander sends his regards, Vylon! He will get his revenge soon enough!

 

With that, the fighter swooped up towards the sky before jumping through hyperspace from the atmosphere. Jisza's eyes was still transfixed towards the skies, a surprise look on his face completely stunning him. Clang and Garsheen noticed this, and asked him if he was alright. He looked to the two of them before slightly shaking his head, his look of disbelief still plastered on his face.

 

Jisza: No...no I'm not.

Garsheen: Who was that? What did that woman mean about "revenge"?

Jisza: I don't know...but I do know one thing...

Clang: What's that?

 

Jisza looked to Clang and muttered only a few words, causing Clang's eyes and expression to change as well. The only one that was confused was Garsheen, who looked at them both with a questionable look.

 

Jisza: Throte...he's still alive...

This was a lot of fun, especially when you tie in your own kind of stories into another one lol!

 

So this was a mission build called "Raid of Zeffo", and I must say, it was quite a task to try and come up with. I will admit, I probably could have added a bit of white for snow texture and what not, but my main focus was more on the rocky terrain detailing and looks. Probably not the best looking design, but it's much better than my original rocky builds. In all, I am happy with it.

 

I hope you all enjoyed, and please, let me know what you think down below in the comments. Also, leave a fav and follow for more of my team and I's content. Have a fan-building-tastic day! See ya' next year!
