<Sheb. Shielded.> Olivia thought to herself when she saw the brief flash of color protect the Sith Assault Walker. Her commanders had orders to fire at will and each tank was complying. Volley after volley of anti-tank mass-driver rounds were hurled into Sith mechanations at speeds of more than a kilometer a second, and yet they the walkers appeared to be shrugging it off. "Fething Sith." Olivia said quietly to herself. "Where did they get this kind of hardware?"
Another Proton Cannon struck the hull of her tank. A resounding explosion rocked the crew and slid the massive vehicle back a few centimeters. <Another glancing shot...> Olivia thought to herself, never more thankful for her people's iron armor than right now. As powerful as Proton Cannons were, they were designed for use against shielded Republic ships and vehicles, not the Beskar-clad Juggernauts made by the Mando'ade. She had nine such tanks spread across over 600 meters of land. They were in a line formation, split up into groups of three... And each one had lowered its massive tonnage to the ground, turning itself into one of the most heavily armored bunkers in the galaxy.
They could hold.
For a while anyway. What was most important was that Olivia balanced the terms of engagement. Those walkers were continuing to close the gap between them and Olivia needed there to be far less of them by the time they arrived. A switch was flipped and Olivia's voice reached out to her besieged half company of tanks. "All tanks cease fire. We need to focus our attacks on one target at a time. We'll start on the right flank and kill them one-by-one until the left flank is clear." She said calmly, knowing that both her voice and her leadership would calm and reassure her troops. "Target western-most Assault Walker. Ignore the smaller targets for now and aim center-mass on it."
Olivia paused for a moment, feeling the turret of her own Canderous rotate slowly to the right as her gunner acquired her target. She waited for the turret to stop its rotation, feeling the slight vibrations in the hull as smaller motors adjusted the barrel up and down to line up a shot. When the motors stopped, Olivia waited three seconds longer, knowing that the vehicles on her eastern arm would need the time to turn their turrets a further 30-degrees than her own had needed. At last however, ice filled her voice as she gave the order. "Fire."
A twin recoil rocked the tank as the main weapon fired. Wasting no time, Olivia barked out her next set of orders. "Eyes on target. If it's still standing, you fire at will until it's not. Once disabled, acquire next target and fire at will."
