Character
Objective 1
Accompanied by forty seven Talon commandos Minerva sprinted through the labyrinth of streets around them. Yards away to the east she could hear the blaster fire and explosions. Swifty turning a corner, Minerva saw a tall apartment complex that had seen better days.
Not something I would pay rent for but it's a good enough platform.
Then she rockeetered up and soon Gakot's platoon went after her. A minute later she landed on the gray colored flat roof. Briefly waiting for the others who follow suit the Mandalorian commando hand signals to them to spread out in their four squads onto adjacent roofs. Using their jetpacks most complied except for the first squad that stayed with Minerva as they crept toward the edge of their roof.
The sounds of warfare and chaos continued to ring out and once they saw the stadium and the surrounding arena light up repeatedly with the exchange of fire between the Sith holdouts and their allies. The former were using the stadium as a fortress, repelling the alliance infantry and local Celanon troops and police below. Missiles screamed with smoke trails and a repeated stream of blaster bolts back and forth. Gakot next to her remarked.
"I always like Grav Ball. Thought I could make it as in that sport once.
"What stopped you?" Minerva answered back to which the Klannotian lieutenant snorted.
"I like to fight more than play."
Minerva smiled in amusement before receiving a call from her helmet's comms. The authoritative voice on the other end was calm and collective despite the shooting in the background.
"Are you in position, Captain Fhirdiad?"
"Yes Colonel, we're just waiting for the signal now."
"You'll see it soon enough."
Then the Talons heard the collective whine of engines as an Alliance bomber dived out from the sky from the north side of the stadium. Swifty the bomber dropped its payload into the target. The ground shook as multiple explosions tore through the sports facility with the bomber making a hard right turn flying away. At the sight Minerva then exclaimed to her commandos as she sprang up.
"Attack!!"
Without missing a beat Minerva leaped off the ledge and flew forth on her jetpack and quickly by the whole platoon. Many roared or hollered as they did so. Spacing out in a loose formation they rocket over to the eastern flank of the now ruined and smoke filled stadium. Just as they were about to reach the shattered windows, blaster bolts began to fire toward them but, though less than the resistance from earlier.
One of the commandos got in the jetpack spun out of control and crashed to the ground below dead. Another got clipped in the left arm and drew away being helped by a comrade. The rest evaded and returned fire while pressing on. Raising her left vambrace Minerva swung back and forth to dodge the hostile fire while activating the miniaturized missile launcher. Through the helmet scanner she targeted what appeared to be a heavy gunner blasting away and four others to the left flank of the flying commandos.
Locking on with Blast mode she fired and a Striilir'ika mirco-missile burst forth from her vambrace. Within moments it struck the five hostiles and consumed them in a brilliant blast. Seconds afterwards Minerva and the rest landed in what once was the statdium's gift shop. Drawing her dual pistols she spotted a black armored Sith trooper who sprang up with a scatter gun.
Rolling out of the way to a wrecked stall as he shot at her. Immediately Minerva returned fire, filling the enemy with four burning holes in the chest as he dropped sideways. All around her comrades eliminated the survivors there. Back to her feet she saw Gakot knock Sith trooper back before blasting her in the head. The shooting continued briefly before it fell silent as the squads secured the area.
Sharing a nod with Gakot the Mandalorian then called 211th's commander.
"Colonel, we're inside."
"Well done, we are closing in. Press your attack. Don't let them rest."
"Yes sir." Minerva answered back before gesturing to the platoon to rally to her. They did and soon advanced toward the next section fully later and searching for sight of more hostiles.
