"After the terror in space combat over Geonosis, I never managed to land on the surface. My ARC was hit while in combat escaping the Arbiter, and I was crippled until being released out of the bacta tank till' just now, along with the rest of my squad. We had one casualty, Dom, our demolitions expert. Unfortunately, we also lost his PLEX launcher, for which we had carried with value. He was quickly replaced by a fellow from Triton Platoon. I heard they got hit pretty hard on the surface charging across the bridge, taking nearly 50% casualties, including their C.O. The remainder is being shuffled to replace the men lost from other units, one being Theta Squad. His nickname's At'in. Must be Mandalorian, I suppose. He's a combat expert who's been with the 316th as long as me, since those first bitter days on Geonosis for what seems like many years ago. Not long afterwards, I got the message we were needed to hold the front on Taris, as usual, us knowing little to no information about what we're doing. At that moment, I thought "Don't they have anyone else to fill the gaps?"

Sorry for no upload for 10.3, I built it, edited and went through the whole process, until I realized that the build itself had nothing in relation to the mission the 316th had, so it never got posted. It's still on private, but I'm probably going to delete it soon. More jetpacks coming soon.
EDIT: I had some minor sticker placement changes on Lin and added a different pack onto "Splice" before the start of the mission.
The older I get the more I resist change. Even if the change is based on new better information. I hope I never get to the point that I will refuse to change – I am not there yet. But I still moan and groan when long time truths turn out to be incorrect. The pretty double star, Theta Persei, has been a favorite of mine since the 1960s when I first enjoyed the yellow & blue of this wide double star in my old 60mm refractor. I could almost imagine being on a planet circling Theta Persei and seeing a bright yellow sun with a smaller blue sun next to it.
But times have changed, astronomy data are more precise now than ever before. My pretty yellow and blue double star was not real. These two stars are along the same line-of-sight and gave the false appearance that they were together – but it was not real. Do not get me wrong this apparent double is still a wonderful sight in the telescope, but somehow it is just not the same.
However, new information can be welcomed if it is unexpected and interesting. Theta Persei’s real companions are a Red Dwarf and a Brown Dwarf, both of which are not within my reach with the telescope. With my new knowledge and the telescope once again pointed at Theta Persei, the view from my imaginary planet is now of a bright yellow sun with brown and red dwarf stars as companions. I can live with that.

When stationing near the Selva System, the Theta-V outpost is almost like a vacation camp. Huge multimedia rooms, Pluuvian massages, free training room and last but not least, the best canteen in the entire Galaxy Squad's fleet. It's the perfect affectation, but seats are rares!

Thanks to @leewanlego and @Shaddowtoa for their inputs in this moc. Live long Galaxy Squad!

Theta, a next-generation Cray/Intel system, will help bridge the gap between Mira and our ALCF-3 machine Aurora.
Theta is based on the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor (code name: Knights Landing (KNL). The system will have over 2500 nodes, each with a KNL 60-or-more-core processor having up to 16 GB of high-bandwidth in-package memory (IPM) and 192 GB of DDR4 RAM.
The aggregate peak compute speed will be over 8.5 PFLOPS. It will have an initial 10 PB Lustre parallel file system.

Long story short, I moved, haven't been building since I got here, playing games on the internet (D3!) instead, building again. :P
