Another Stormtrooper collapses, his body collapsing into a red cratered heap. The Skitarii draws shakes his head, “We’re unaware. But-“

The fortress shakes, dust and mortar falling upon you from the roof, “We believe they are still active. We will begin our operation.”

The first Skitarii lurches forward, diving under the fire of the Stormtroopers – followed by a second and third, the fourth cut down by las-fire. The others reach the explosives locker and begin to tear it open, leaving you to trade fire with the remaining Stormtroopers – some of whom begin to rappel down.

Soin’s Skitarii fall into place, doing what they can to retrieve the ammunition and set up explosives before the rebels reach your position. Barricades are re-erected around the battered command post and charges are set at entrance points around the camp, as well as around the artillery pieces that are too far from the fortified position. Other Skitarii man the guns atop the bunker, bringing them to bear upon the first encampment … just as the first rebels come into view. They are mountain troops, clad in climbing gear and oxygen masks, they begin to rappel down from the sides and natural ledges offered to them by the rocky terrain.

The barrage goes off, and Karliel, alongside the Skitarii and Stormtroopers, are all thrown to their feet as it strikes the first encampment. Weapon racks tumble over and anything not bolted down to the floor is thrown to the ground.
