Star Wars Imperial Assault: Battle Log #2

MISSION 4 : Imperial Hospitality

The Imperial’s held a Rebel operative captive and were in the process of transmitting sensitive data gleaned through torturous means.

After spending many hours sneaking into the heart of Imperial facility the Rebel team arrive just moments before this data is about to be transmitted. Can they get there in time to stop it, while focusing on their primary goal of rescuing the Rebel Operative?

The Rebel’s begin their assault rapidly, but are met with two Probe Droids guarding the area.

The droids focus fire on the first Rebel rushing the Data Room door, the Mandalorian  takes considerable damage as she attempts to hack the door, but fails. As the team solidify their tactical approach the Bothan and Twi’Lek Rebels reign destruction on the first Probe droid, swiftly neutralising it. The second droid is soon rendered inoperable by the Rodian Rebel. This attracts the attention of the Royal Guard, who rush to the fray, only to be met with strong opposition from the entire Rebel team.

The Royal Guard can’t hold them and one decides to retreat, wounded and bleeding. It is this moment that the Rebel team manage to blast the door down to the Communications room, and just in time, the signal only moments away from being broadcast. Rapidly the Rodian Rebel rushes into the room and halts the transmission of the data. He also encounters the strong guarding Imperial force holding fort there.

The guarding force of Trandoshans storms out of the room, attacking the Rodian and Mandalorian Rebels, wounding them but ultimately meeting their demise as the pair of rebels unleash rapid and well execute blows. While this happens the Bothan Rebel and Twi’Lek Rebels split up to and head off to rescue the prisoner, with only one single royal guard as opposition, they manage to blast open the door and free the rebel operative. Sirens sound and soon after a reinforcement of Storm Troopers rushes in, this could be trouble…

In what was a move of both luck and tactical prowess, the Twi’Lek used a radio intercept found only moments before to steer another deploying reinforcement away from the battle scene, and halve the number of troops approaching them.

Still, the Stormtroopers advanced, their orders to neutralise the escaped operative at all costs. Bypassing the assaulting rebels the Stormtroopers rushed right up behind the prisoner and unleashed a volley of blaster shots at him, almost killing the Rebel.

They weren’t fast enough though. The Rebel team desperately swooped in on the Stormtroopers, neutralising them rapidly and clearing the area of all Imperials, guaranteeing a swift and safe exit for the rebel prisoner and the team alike. The mission was a shining example of cohesive team work, despite missing their “Tank”, and proved a resounding success for the Rebels.
