Snippet #2777816

With a flash the Raider II corvette Firaxa appeared in orbit above the Planet. In the command room Commander Silvi Zahni had her crew assembled.

“All right girls and boys…” Silvi started. And without a missed beat as she looked at the B1s. “...and clankers…”

Pressing a button on the holo emitter a 3d image of the main landmass came into view. “Here you see what command as dubbed Aquilla Prime… It is a rocky stormy hellhole from what our viper scans have picked up. But it is a hellhole full of life. Command has sent us here to see if this life and planet is of any use to the fleet.”

With another press the 3d image zoomed in on one of the beaches. “This is our LZ as you can see it is not large enough for the Firaxa to land. The Firaxa will enter the atmosphere and descend to the drop point. From there we airdrop with jetpacks. Once we land we move inland to find a safe landing for the Firaxa. Remember the fuel in these packs are limited and if we can’t find an LZ for the Firaxa may be our only way back to the ship. You run out of fuel this will be your new home.”

Silvi let that warning sink in before moving on. “Alright buckets on Troopers. Riti and Zax you are in the TIEs stay close to the Firaxa unless I call airstrike. Zeta squad on me.”

The Firaxa made it’s decent it’s hangar bay doors opening as Four Spec ops Stormtroopers and two B1 battle droids looked into an open sky.

“Go!” Came Silvi’s shout as she jumped. Following her where the shouts of “Aye, Aye!” from the troopers and “Roger, Roger!” from the B1s

The air whipped round Zeta Squad as the free fell barreling towards the sand and deadly rocks of the beach far below. Down, down, down they went.

“Now!” came the sudden call as Silvi activated her jetpack using it to ease into a landing on the sand. Behind her the rest of Zeta landed one by one.

“This is Zeta actual to Firaxa we have landed and are moving inland.” Silvi radioed.

“We read you Zeta good hunting” Came the reply.

With a simple motion Silvi ordered her squad inland and deeper into the unknown planet.
