Shattering the window with her vambrace's repulsor, Minerva leaped inside alongside her squad mates. Weapons at the ready they scanned the room first noting the metal desk and chair before them. Up ahead was the door and a balcony window. Likely this structure was intended for the overseer to view production below. Not wanting to dwell on Imperial architecture, Minerva hand signals Sumi to hack into the console.
The Atrisian corporal lowered her carbine and before cracking her knuckles as she sat down at the desk. Immediately the hacker began typing away in order to break the console's security code. Letting her comrade take care of that Minerva directed the rest forward. Sliding open the door their team spread out taking position on the platform's metal bars. Down below they could see Imperial troops and their troops fighting it out already within the assembly line.
Then on the connecting platform from the shadows they heard lone heavy footsteps coming down. Subsequently a crimson blade ignited revealing a towering near human in bulky black armor…a Sith warrior! His mad smirk made clear his intentions. Without hesitating Minerva aimed and fired at his chest but the cultist dodged and jumped towards her. Speeding out of the way to the left Minerva tried to shoot again but the Sith threw his free left hand toward her.
Force pushed the Mandalorian crashed sideways to the wall adjacent to the door. Her comrades were shooting but the Sith evaded their firing with incredible speed.
"Die insects!" He said with sadistic gleam, swinging and cutting down a commando in half before electorating another.
Just as he did Minerva got to her feet and tossed a shiva knife. Laughing, the Sith reached to grab the blade but it exploded, destroying most of his hand and arm and hitting him with shrapnel into the head. Now howling in torment he staggered back as the other commandos blasted him repeatedly with particle shots. Flipping over the platform he fell to his death shrieking. As for Minerva she winced inside the helmet before examining the two they just lost.
Private Rou Dafen from Chandrila and Corporal Zali Kunol of Hosnian Prime. She pulled off each of their identification cards and put them in her left pocket.
Mourn them and the others later but we have to keep moving. The Mandalorian commando thought to herself.
Back inside the office Sumi called out.
"I'm in!"
"Shut down all security measures and open up the central reactor for our demolitionists." Minerva commanded while reloading her rifle.
It was done and she alerted the other teams of their success. Once the explosive experts did their jobs the surviving commandos flew out of the facility just as Imperial reinforcements were storming. Mid-flight Minerva looked back to the factory before a succession of explosions erupted within the place. Then a bright light ignited followed by a great blast that consumed the munitions factory in utter fiery destruction and shaking the city violently for several seconds
Even at the citadel anyone inside would feel it though just briefly. Looking away Minerva called out in the comms.
"Fall back to the spaceport. We need to link up with our allies."
Hopefully the wounded they transported in those captured Imperial transports made it there already.
