[SIZE=11pt]HOTH: NORTH RIDGE[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Isonvil is a fuel drilling and refinery town, or was. When the Ssi-Ruuk annihilated the First Order, the local fuel market dried up and shipping contractors refused to risk the trip. But the abandoned town still holds a small fortune in refined fuel, plus a couple of wells that aren’t tapped out yet. A canny operation could find good resources in the short or long term. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Two forces have converged on Isonvil: a dozen Mandalorians sent by [member="Kaine Australis"], and a dozen elite soldiers sent by [member="Orex Mauda"]. It’s morning on Hoth, and a brisk -35 Celsius.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]OOC rules:[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=11pt]‘Dragged to safety’ is fine, ‘killed in action’ is fine, ‘buried in rubble for later recovery’ is fine. What’s not fine is not losing troops. YOUR LOSSES ARE UP TO YOU. DON’T WRITE THE OTHER SIDE’S INJURIES/DEATHS.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]No air strikes.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]No vehicles heavier than a speeder bike.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]Please clearly establish, relative to cardinal directions and/or landmarks, where your troops are on the map. This is especially important if you split them up.[/SIZE]

HOTH: NORTH RIDGE

Emergence Forces:

• 8 P1 Battle Droids
• 4 P1H Battle Droids
• 3 P1R Droids (Haven't subbed the NPC yet)

Outside of their home system of Utangard, The Emergence did not exist. They had been developing in silence, growing their shadow without a word. And so when it came to resource gathering, the Emergence did so without fanfare. Galactic Surveys had returned several points of particular interest, Hoth among them. And so the Droid Army of the Emergence mobilised small task forces to secure these points in the interest of resource acquisition and the later dominion of the Planet.

A HETT Transport Gunship landed a few miles from a Fuel Refinery. From the Transport dropped 15 Droids, 8 highly experienced P1 Battle Droids, along with 4 Heavy Battle Droids and 3 Recon Droids. The P1H's were there for anti-infantry support and to bust open any more-than-locked doors. They moved with the P1's lagging only slightly behind due to their speed. The three Recons rushed ahead to secure vantage points.

Once over the ridge and in sight of the Refinery, the droids took their positions. The Recons had completed their survey and reported the presence of a small number of Mandalorian Troops, their advanced Optics allowing clear sight through the dense snow. Splitting up, each squad took to their ideal locations.

The three Recons, covered in white, ferrosphere-coated armourweave cloaks took to the far side of the refinery moving in parallel with the Mandalorians, intent on circling the complex and only making themselves known once behind their troops.

The 4 P1H's took themselves down the ridge but stopped atop a large ledge. They had a clear view of the majority of the refinery. Where they were, they could 'snipe' opposition with their shoulder-mounted Turbolasers. However, they were limited in such a fire operation. The Refinery, although inactive, was still loaded with raw resources and refined but unmoved fuels. Explosions near anything critical would result in partial destruction of the facility and potential friendly casualties.

The 8 P1's moved down the centre line, distributing themselves behind drills and silos. Once positioned, they remained hidden and in silence, waiting for the moment any opposition came close.

There was no audible communication, all droids co-ordinated with eachother over a neural network, allowing instant and silent communication.
