Commander, my apologies for the delay in the after-action report, captains Solo and Vander decided to visit a cantina instead of reporting in immediately. Disciplinary action at your discretion.

We discovered a group of blasteded BX Commando droids attempting to make contact with the Nightsisters. With Vander and Solo (who, for some unknown reason chose to wear old Imperial armor) I felt confident the Red and Gold aces could close the distance to BX shield droids. They did. In their enthusiasm to destroy these abominations the Gold aces did not co-ordinate their attack, sadly, if Gold group had hit from the same side together things might have turned out for the better.

The heroism of our Tantive IV Troopers was for naught as the BX droids displayed uncommon tactical thinking and targeted our pilots first. Perhaps I erred in not ordering Solo to personally engage the enemy, but his place seemed more suited in inspiring the Aces. There was also another droid we had not encountered before, this droid allowed the BXs the ability to fire an extra time, faster than even droids normally can.

On a side note, due to the high number of weapons malfunctions all blasters will be cleaned and/or replaced before next battle.

Your embarrassed commander Juice.

PS
Captain Vander was reluctant entrust pilots with no grenade experience use of his higher yield grenades. Maybe a Squib Trader would be useful in the future?

Greetings members of the High Rebel Command, and honorary delegates of the rebellion,

I write to you while in the company of his majesty, Prince Xizor; who has agreed to join our war effort against the Separatists. After a convincing victory against a number of shield-bearing droidekas - lead by Nute Gunray - the Prince of the Black Sun has offered his utter and complete support for our rebellion. His support will entail many advantages, including: the access to foreign trade routes, smuggling personnel, a new line of weaponry; and all questionable avenues the Black Sun partake in. My diverse array of SpecForce soldiers - lead by Ferus Olin, Roan Lands & Major Bren Derlin - gave the Prince the confidence he needed to invest in our effort. I'm grateful for the bravery of my men, and we will remember the fallen; in our true living spirit - unlike heartless cyborgs & droids. We will once again unite our galaxy with diversity, freedom and peace for all - and will destroy the corruption of the Separatists. We will re-instate the fallen Republic, as we in the rebellion know that democracy is the only means at which we can all live free: united in our common respect for life. We are one step closer today towards reaching this goal, and I know that the Force is with is. May the Force continue to be with us,

Commander Kenobi,

Well, General, it seems you too need a blaster replacement program as well.

*Incoming Transmission from the Ugnaught Mines*

"Greetings Rebel High Command, this is Senior Commander Jerjerrod reporting in with a mission report. Luke Skywalker flying his Snowspeeder led an army consisting of his sister Princess Leia, General's Dodonna and Rieekan, Kyle Katarn, R2-D2, Jan Ors, and a few support staff, including a very angry Wookiee Freedom Fighter."

"He went in expecting to see a droid squad and was surprised to see a squad of Bounty Hunters led by Zam Wessel, Boba Fett, and Urai Fen along with some Zann Defilers. Luke used the mobility and speed of his Snowspeeder to pull off many deep strikes against critical targets. In the opening salvo he managed to hit Urai with his twin attack both times, and then with Leia relaying strike coordinates another twin attack leaving him clinging to life. The very next salvo left poor Urai dead from the brutal lasers of the Snowspeeder. He then fell back to regroup. After that Kyle used his stealthiness to pick off some smaller targets to open the way forwards for a quick strike against the Zann Defiler. Boba then moved forward and a defiler shot at the angry Wookiee wounding it. In an act of ferocity the Wookiee retaliated by charging Boba Fett and wounding him, and then with Leia's calming hand giving him another firing solution hurt him again."

"But alas the poor Wookiee's revenge was short-lived as the next salvo saw Boba Fett merciliessly slaughter the raging ball of fur. However this allowed Luke to fly his Speeder next to Boba and Leia's firing solutions allowing him to strike again killing the merciless bounty hunter. Kyle then made his mark on a Deflier by hurting him. In the next round of salvo's Kyle destroyed the other defilier and held down the gambit zone. THe remaining Defiler laced the Snowspeeder with a mine and also put Leia in harm's way. She fell back and used firing locks to give Luke another confirmed kill on the Defiler while Kyle maintained his hold on gambit and Jan relayed the orders to the central control hub. Luke then defused the mine taking minimal damage after which the delightful Human Engineer repair the minor damage."

"Having brutalized several Mon Calamari, the lone remaining enemy Zam Wessel set her sights on the poor droids accompaning Luke. Both R7 and R2 with his sensor out looking for Zam died nobly. Luke in mourning then flew next to Zam and Leia provided him another firing solution to wound the nefarious changling. With one more round of salvos to go, Zam took a chance at running away from the SNowspeeder to try and take down Princess Leia, but Luke's firing sequences were true and he was able to eliminate the Bounty Hunter from the fight. After that, his army of Rebels secured the Ugnaught Mines and welcomed the Ugnaughts to the Rebel Alliance."

Final Score of 222-72

Uniques Lost

Rebel - R2-D2 with Extended Sensor

Separatist - Urai Fen, Zam Wessel-Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett-Enforcer.

Played against Verjal last night, Durge on speeder, and Maul on swoop were out in full force with battle droids and san hill as support. He was playing Shaak ti, Chewie, Jabba, and Echani. First init I rolled a 1 and brought in a Spotter. Durge flew over and killed an echani to get into position for next round. I quickly closed the distance with maul and dropped Chewie down to 30, then dismounted with the intention of killing shaak ti next turn. Maul took more damage than he should have from an echani, but moved in to drop the damage on Ti. Unfortunately, to my dismay, only one attack hit. Durge then went and strafed over everyone except one of the echanis, killing chewie, echanis, R7, mouse, and damaging jabba. He took a rough riposte however on the pass. Maul, who had been dropped very low in hit points didn't survive the attack of what was left unfortunately. Durge lined up to finish off the job, killing shaak ti but taking yet another of the many crits this game on a riposte, which unexpectedly finished him off. The game win goes to me but it was unexpectedly costly.

Uniques killed:
Shaak Ti, JM

Excellent Work Commanders, we will continue to fight for freedom!

P.S. Guess this means on to round 3 because thats all 8 reports. General G, possession arrow belongs to you.

Now, after reading over the the CorellianComedian’s battle report that was broadcasted over the airwaves, I felt it my duty to go through it and clarify a few things. His words are bolded, mine are in parenthesis.

Good news from Kashyyyk!

(Yeah, good news! Wookie season is open, guys! Trap your own! Make a fur coat!)

Working with our informants on the surface, (The voices inside his head) we managed to strike at an opportune time (Yeah, when the planet was deserted). Jedi General Rahm Kota, his ally Galen Marek, Juno Eclipse, and a detachment of General Kota's Militia landed in a key port on Kashyyyk (The seaside getaway vacation resort to be exact. Oh, and General Kota, your ship is double-parked, by the way.). They were met with heavy resistance from Umbaran Troops (“Heavy resistance” = two of them.) and Alto Stratus's elite Nimbus Commandos (Again: two...), along with a leading member of the Red Hand Syndicate. Again, the stealth training of the Separatist forces limited our options of assault (Surrender was seriously considered by the rebels at this point), but with some clever positioning (Standing in the middle of the walkway, yelling, and firing guns randomly in all directions), we were able to engage. (By “engage,” he means: running into the middle room and locking the door) Our Militia suffered heavy losses (like grass to a lawnmower, you did!), but provided Kota and Galen with enough time to hack the central computer (Hacking, in this case, consisted mainly of walking over, and pressing the “ON” button, and logging into Gmail) and send the message that liberation was at hand. (I believe their exact words were: “You help us with our crazy suicidal rebellion, or we will huff and puff and Galen Marek will blow your house down, AND kick your dog!”) The Separatists tried to force their way into the computer room (We really didn’t, actually. We just stood outside and sniped their militia from cover), but Galen Force-pulled the Syndicate Boss into the room, (Now, what he just said is: They tried to enter the room. But we stopped them by making them enter the room. And it wasn’t so much a force pull as a force hiccup. It’s a good thing he wasn’t wearing a tie! He would have inhaled it, and choked himself!) and shortly afterwards charged out and blasted away several of the remaining troops with a Force repulse. (Now, I’d like to point out that this fellow waited until the very last seconds of the game to pull this stunt so that there would be no time left in the game for me to stomp him into the ground.) Unfortunately, Separatist leader Alto Stratus managed to evade capture, (By running in circles really fast until the comedian’s men got tired and gave up) but the noble Wookiees quickly answered our call. (Yeah. That was real stupid.)

Our battle with Stratus enabled us to land the rest of Kota's forces and liberate Kashyyyk. The Wookiees have pledged their support to our cause. (After their leader mysteriously disappeared, and The CorellianComedian was seen wearing a nice new fur coat. *cringe*) Galen Marek is leading a combined force of Militia and Wookiees in hunting down the remaining Confederate troops on the planet; (I’m curious, is that the same militia that Alto Stratus’s team just pounded into hamburger meat?) General Kota is supervising repairs to the planetary defenses, (The ones that HE destroyed when HE attacked and disrupted the peace and quiet that the Wookiees were enjoying) and Juno Eclipse is overseeing the distribution of food and medical supplies. (Yes, cans of expired lutefisk, and band-aids were had by all.)

Unfortunately, the Confederate oppression of the Wookiees has been almost absolute. Local chieftains have reported that many have been shipped away to an unknown location; an educated guess taking into account the quantity and physical qualities of those sent away would say that it was slave labor the Confederacy was after. (interestingly enough, these reports came in AFTER the rebels “Liberated” the Wookiees. Coincidence? I think not.) May we soon finish the liberation of the Wookiees. (Thank you, Stalin, for those comforting words.)

I lost no Uniques; Lafcadio lost T3-M4. (My IG 110 jumped into the fray to try to draw the rebel’s fire, but he forgot that he was still cloaked, so nobody saw him.)

Lafcadio Out

Commanders,

These losses have been unacceptable. The Rebellion is growing and has allied with the majority of the criminal underworld. It shows the character of its forces when it attracts murderers, anarchists, spice dealers, and slave traders to it's cause. Which gives us an advantage, the people of the Confederacy may squirm under our grip but having Emperor Sideous at the head is better than seeing what sort of government could come out of the Black Sun, Hutts, and Talon Karrde's criminal empire. We must play to this effect publicly to rebuild support on our worlds. But secretly the Death Star nears it's completion. Unfortunately, due to the successes of our enemy's raids, we have lost all of our Kyber crystals that were required for the one aspect of the superweapon that is still unfinished, it's primary weapon system.
As some of you with previous classified security clearance may know, the Kyber crystal was used as a focusing crystal in the Jedi lightsaber, but a crystal of significant size can create something far more destructive. We need to get this weapon online as soon as possible and as such the majority of your missions in this phase of the war will be to retrieve Kyber crystals from known sources.

Darth Jak,
Most skilled of my commanders, some of the Kyber crystals raided by the Rebels have apparently not been destroyed and are instead being held on Hoth. Go and retrieve what's ours.

Commander PegoLego,
You will go to the planet Korriban with Commander Lafcadio. Your area of operations will be the Valley of the Sith Lords. Among the ruins of the tombs the Emperor has assured us you will find what it is we seek. I hope your cyborgnetic upgrades will assist you in this mission, do not fail commander.

Commander Lafcadio,
You as well I will dispatch to Korriban, but while PegoLego scours the valley, you will focus one one of the still intact Tombs in the area. I have heard word that the Czerka Corporation still operates "scientific studies" on the planet, so feel free to acquire their assistance if you encounter them.

Commander Jen'ari,
You will go to the Utapau system. During my exploits in the Clone Wars I spent some time on this planet and it was from here that we mined our first Kyber crystal as well as have maintained a steady supply from since. Take control of the locals there and use them to secure the Kyber crystals mines.

Commander Amadeus,
Due to you being one of a handful of commanders that can bring us victory, I have chosen you for a delicate task. The build site for the death star is to be located in the Endor system. We have a shield generator station on the planets surface that projects a shield around the orbiting superweapon. But recently we have lost communication with the station. The only other "intelligent" life forms on the planet are a pathetic small and dim-witted bear that has mastered basic tools. As they are not a threat to our droid forces, I suspect Rebel involvement. Go to the station, and bring it back online.


Commander SignerJ,
You will go to the planet Ando and meet up with an informant that has contacted the Confederacy. The pirate has advised of us a hidden Kyber crystal of such size that if it's true, this crystal alone would bring us to near completion. But it could also be a trap. Take an army either way and find out the truth of these claims.

Commander LordRazzia,
You will go to the planet Rhen Var, it's snow-covered terrain is a planet-sized tomb with an untold amount of jedi artifacts buried beneath the wastes. Your specific mission area will be a scavenger base located over a large ravine said to contain vast Kyber crystal mines. Go and see what the scavengers have retrieved, and "liberate" them of their treasures.

Lastly I will go to Cloud City, the world of Bespin has publicly declared it's support for the Rebellion and has ceased Tibanna shipments to the Confederacy.So, while the majority of you carry out our true secret mission. I will personally make a public display of our power against all those that defy the Confederacy using the full might of our armies. The subjugation of Cloud City will show our enemies what happens to those that side with criminals and terrorists.

Go commanders, and bring the Confederacy the tools for our endgame.

Grievous out

Bring me victory commanders or prepare for the harshest Separatist remediation. Time among the Gungan slaves...
