"Send acknowledgement of the compliments to Lord Mecetti on the secondary channel, we don't need to clog up the comms," Captain Ihago said. He continued to lead in support of the Mecetti command ship, ensuring its protection and supporting its barrages. Perhaps not from their vessel itself, but with their heavy fighters and support craft.

Unfortunately for Ethen, the ground was getting a little too hot for him. The rocky floor beneath his feet began to rumble, the fighting pausing, as he looked up only to witness what could spell doom for the young hotshot. He turned around, trying to retreat back into Fort Diamond as the giant worm chased him down to attack the Fort. "Imperial Ships in orbit, this is Moff Ethen Lecerson, Imperial Sovereign-4. I need emergency fire mission, grid coordinates Echo Bravo 729154, target: Giant fething worm as big as an Exogorth that's about to delete Fort Diamond from the planet! Execute immediately, over! Danger close!" Ethen rushed back behind the front lines of the Fort, hoping to head into cover. "Everybody hunker down! I called for a bombardment strike from the Star Destroyers! Get behind cover!" Ethen yelled out to soldiers as he continued running until he was behind one of the walls in the Fort.

"Sir," the Signals officer reported, "We have calls for orbital bombardment from the ground teams. Some sort of... creatures... are attacking our Fort."

Maldor nodded, "Give it to the Darkfall. She can use her ventral turbolasers to conduct a bombardment."

Despite being a smaller vessel, the Darkfall had more turbolaser batteries than the Obscurer. Enough to spare for a ground bombardment without needing to re-orient herself.

"Aye Sir. Relaying to Darkfall now... she's opening fire."

On one of the sensor screens, Maldor could see the Darkfall open fire upon the surface below. The coordinates they'd been asked to bombard were very close to the Fort itself. Atmospheric blooming would steal some power and accuracy from the turbolasers. He hoped that the gunners were dialed-in, or else there could be some friendly casualties from this action.

It would be a shame to lose Lecersen so soon into their working relationship- before they'd even had a chance to meet in person.

As strong as the Empire was, it was not immune to setbacks or difficulties. Out of the four fortresses which had been constructed on Gand during the initial stages of the planet’s occupation, Fort Diamond was all that stood, with the rest having fallen to Gand warbands. And now, those same warbands had mustered all that was left of their strength in preparation for an assault on Fort Diamond.

For her part, Priscilla had been tasked with preparing defenses, taking watch shifts, and unloading equipment. Tasks expected of an infantrywoman in the Imperial Volunteer Army. In that, the biot had done well to keep herself busy. Unlike her natural-born peers, she did not require sleep, nor did she ever get exhausted. Her superiors had taken advantage of that fact and in turn, Priscilla had dutifully accepted the additional responsibilities that were foisted onto her.

After all, she, like everyone stationed at Fort Diamond, had a direct stake in ensuring that it did not fall, like the other fortresses had.

And so, when the Gand warbands initiated to advance towards the fortress, Priscilla was on the walls, positioned behind the controls of an E-Web as she waited for the Gand to come into range.

"I hope you all bought plenty of Bug spray," Ami shouted as soon as she set up her Blaster Rifle near the wall and saw a wave of bugs approaching the Fort. "We got hostiles incoming!"

“Copy that. I see them.” Priscilla answered. The Gand were charging quickly and soon, Priscilla had her first target marked in her sights—a repulsorlift troop transport. As soon as the vehicle came into range, she laid on the trigger, at which point a blistering salvo of red-hued bolts tore out from the E-Web’s barrel as the power generator revved and whined. The lancing bolts struck their targets with horrific results, first vaporizing the soldier manning the transport’s blaster cannon, before mowing down the rest in a display of fiery violence. Under the sustained E-Web fire, the transport itself was reduced to slag, causing it to crash to the ground before sliding to an unceremonious halt.

As she looked over the destruction that she had wrought, Priscilla felt a wave of elation wash over her awareness.

“Tee-tee-three-seven landspeeder transport, destroyed!” The biot called out. However, her triumph was short-lived. Without warning, the earth began to shake underfoot, causing a number of troopers to lose their balance. Fortunately, Priscilla stayed on her feet, while working to keep the E-Web itself stable to ensure that the weapon did not fall. All the while, the tremors continued for what seemed to be an eternity, before seeming to briefly die down.

That was when Priscilla saw the cause of the earthquake.

“WORMS!” The trooper next to her screamed.

On cue, many of the troopers on the walls opened fire on the helminth monsters. However, Priscilla refrained from doing so. Not only were the creatures out of range, but the biot knew that even an E-Web had virtually no chance of penetrating their thick hides.

Quite simply, they needed air or orbital support, in order to slay the beasts.

Ethen rushed back behind the front lines of the Fort, hoping to head into cover. "Everybody hunker down! I called for a bombardment strike from the Star Destroyers! Get behind cover!" Ethen yelled out to soldiers as he continued running until he was behind one of the walls in the Fort.

Thank the Emperor.

Priscilla looked up, and that exact moment was when the first turbolaser bolt lanced down from the heavens to strike one of the hated worms in vengeful fury.
