Once Toiresa reaches the street she and her teammates are bound for, she will be met only with empty, silent streets ahead, at least for now.
Once the traat'aliit have entered the capital, Zdizslaw, their Ruus'alor, sends Toiréasa and her team ahead to begin the advance for the building near Edethor's northeastern-most point where the shield generator is located. Moving in file formation due to the close confines of the city's alleyways they stick to in order to minimize the chances of being detected, Toiréasa and her team stay alert for any signs of Rendili's defense forces that might have taken up positions further in the city.
Zdizslaw, having Jedrzej and Ksenia move out for a tall building that overlooks the area near the shield generator's location, their job to advance quickly enough so that, once in position, they can guide the rest of the squad in along the least defended routes as well as get some preliminary indication of what kind of defenses or opposition they will need to deal with in order to disable Edethor's city shield. |

Disembarking with the Alliance troops once they have set down at the LZ, Arduino pauses to wait for Berdine, Jyotish and Vashity to join him before heading for where Ua'niall has set up his command center.
"See you in Edethor," Vashity tells Arduino and the other Jedi from Dantooine before heading for the Colonel.
Moving her blaster rifle to her left side and letting it hang from its sling in an off-side carry, Vashity holds out a hand as she tells Ua'niall, "Jedi Investigator Lokshin, Colonel. I assume you'll be sending some scouts ahead, Colonel, and I'd like to ask to accompany them." While she is used to operating alone for the most part, Vashity figures that working with the Alliance scouts is the best fit for her, and will also make it easier for her to head off alone should she feel the need to do so for one reason or another. |

As their teammates near the structure in which the shield generator is located, the snipers will see that an RDF platoon has secured a one block perimeter around the structure.

For now, the sniper team has not yet spotted the Mandalorians or the snipers that are leading them through the streets of the capital.Disembarking with the Alliance troops once they have set down at the LZ, Arduino pauses to wait for Berdine, Jyotish and Vashity to join him before heading for where Ua'niall has set up his command center.

Taking a deep breath to try and still herself within, Berdine asks Arduino, "Will we all be staying with Lieutenant Wrotny's platoon, or should we split up so that we can spread out the support we can provide more evenly?" |

The RDF platoon has its own sniper team positioned atop the building itself, from which they can direct the fireteams securing the perimeter to any problem areas. For now, the sniper team has not yet spotted the Mandalorians or the snipers that are leading them through the streets of the capital.
Cionaodh and his team, consisting of Niall and Tadhg, two male humans, move out and, once they are just outside of the perimeter the Rendili Defense Force platoon has established around the building, hold until Zdzislaw and the others report that they have reached their next objective, a defensible point with plenty of cover available that is also located just outside of the perimeter patrolled by the enemy platoon.
Zdzislaw, Toiréasa, Abiageal, and Berach reach their objective after advancing carefully, Jedrzej and Ksenia directing them to move for cover points when the movements of the enemy platoon present opportunities to move with minimal chances of being spotted, and take up positions distant enough from one another that no one line of fire can target them all. Once he and the others are in position, Zdzislaw gives Cionaodh the order to begin the assault. Zdzislaw and the others, who will not be immediately joining the battle as the plan is to try and get the enemy platoon focused on Cionaodh and his team, hold their positions, waiting for Jedrzej and Ksenia to report on whether or not the attempt to distract the enemy platoon, or failing that to divide its forces to make assaulting the front entrance of their target easier, has succeeded.
Cionaodh, moving from the cover of an airspeeder, jogs for the side of a building facing their target and then, once he has reached the corner of the building pops from around it and lifts his right arm, steadying it with his left, to take aim with his wrist mounted MM9 rocket system on the top of the building where the enemy snipers are stationed. Using his buy'ce's targeting systems to set up his shot quickly and rapidly, Cionaodh fires the anti-personnel rocket at the enemy sniper's position and then ducks back behind the building to take up his blaster rifle, hanging from its sling in an off side drop posiiton, to prepare for the inevitable enemy response to his attack.
Niall and Tadhg, who held their initial positions so that they will be able to cover Cionaodh, who will be the only member of the squad initially revealed to the enemy, when the enemy platoon counter attacks, ready their blaster rifles and watch for the enemy to react to opening attack. |

Marcas grins after Vashity asks to accompany the scouts she correctly assumes he will be sending ahead of his troops, "Sure love, be my guest. I'm sending three teams out, one right up the bloody middle, and one to either flank. From the intel gathered by the LAAT Vashity had tasked with getting an overall picture of how the First Order's forces are deployed, Marcas noted a slight break in the enemy lines on their eastern flank, and so he says, Their eastern flank has a bit of a gap, so if you're feeling up to trying to reach the capital to let them know we're moving up the enemy's backside so we can try and coordinate our efforts, that'd be grand. Otherwise, I can assign you a comm operator so you can call in artillery and air support where it's needed once our troops are in range to engage the bastards."
Arduino, deferring the decision as to whether they will be remaining together or separating to Master Jyotish, answers Berdine, "I'd like to stay with Wrotny and his men if possible, and then turns to Jyotish as he asks, What do you think, Master, should we each go with a different unit, or stick together?"
As he waits for Jyotish's decision, Arduino watches as Marcas begins ordering his scouts to begin their advance, with his ground troops and armored units beginning to form up to begin their advance not long after the scouts have set out, an odd sense of calm settling over him as the wait for the inevitable beginning of the battle ahead of them begins.

A third tank company, hindered by the terrain more than the others, is in position to observe the surviving LAATs that begin to arrive from orbit, and report their observations to Lieutenant colonel Vreni Kuhn...Sending a company of tanks to come about and maneuver into a position to watch for the inevitable advance of the enemy troops carried by the LAATs, Kuhn continues on with his own company for the capital.
Taking a speeder bike, Katsumi makes her way to where the tank company sent to wait and watch for the Alliance forces to make their advance, and once she has joined them, settles in to wait and watch along with them. Submerging herself in the currents of the Force, Katsumi listens to the susurrus for any rustled whisperings there may be of the presence she seeks. |

Midway between Alliance LZ and First Order Forces nearing Edethor
The tank company sent by Lieutenant Colonel Kuhn to meet the advance of the Alliance forces that have landed reaches the point that has been selected as where they will attempt to halt the enemy advance and, after sending the two AT-STs attached to the company HQ forward to scout for the enemy, with the three-man Biker Scout sniper team also moving out to act as forward observers for the company, begins to arrange its Stormtroopers, dismounting as the AT-STs and Biker Scouts set out, and tank platoons into their assigned positions.
The Stormtrooper platoon, setting up in line formation after dismounting so that they will have maximum firepower to the front, find what cover they can and settle in to await contact with the enemy. As contact is expected to, initially, come from the front, the three assault platoons, consisting of four assault tanks each, move into V formations and position themselves behind the Stromtroopers platoon's position, one just behind them while the other two move to its flanks to enable quicker deployment in response to enemy movements. The company's MSG platoon, consisting of three assault tanks, moves ahead of the Stormtroopers so that it will be the first to meet the enemy, setting up in a line formation widely spread out to maximize the area it will be able to cover. The headquarters and mortar sections of the company take up positions some distance behind the Stromtrooper platoon, with the medical evac and fire support teams stay closer to the platoon's position.
Once all of the company's preparatory maneuvers have been completed, a tense silence settles in as they wait to hear from the Biker Scouts or AT-STs that have been sent to search for the enemy . . .
Near Edethor
Halting a short distance from Edethor, their orders not to press their advance until the city's shield has been brought down, the other forces under Kuhn's command hold their positions and, with AT-STs and Biker Scouts sent out to secure perimeters, settle in to wait for the Mandalorians to complete their part of the invasion plan.

One of the RDF fireteams takes up a position behind and to the left of the other to cover their advance, while the other team begins cautiously advancing on the building with weapons at the ready, with the team leader watching their 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock while his men watch their respective areas of responsibility for any sign that the Mandalorian, unlikely to be attacking alone, is attempting to draw them into an ambush.Arduino, deferring the decision as to whether they will be remaining together or separating to Master Jyotish, answers Berdine, "I'd like to stay with Wrotny and his men if possible, and then turns to Jyotish as he asks, What do you think, Master, should we each go with a different unit, or stick together?"
Berdine clasps Arduino's shoulder and summons a smile as she says in an attempt at levity, "Race you to the city? More seriously, she adds, Be careful," before she turns and begins making her way to where the tanks and troops beginning to advance on the right flank are gathered. |

Nodding after Colonel Ua'niall has given her the options, Vashity grins with a shrug as she says, "Think I'll try my luck with that gap, Colonel, but I'll stick with your scouts until an opportunity to make for the capital presents itself, see if we can't give your tanks something to shoot at to along the way."
Heading for the scouts that the Colonel directs her to, Vashity introduces herself while familiarizing herself with the speeder bike she will be using, and then explains that she will stick with them until such a time as an opportunity to try and reach the capital presents itself.
After she and the three Alliance scouts set out, hurtling through the trees and over the hills that lay between them and the enemy forces waiting somewhere ahead, Vashity focuses as much on piloting the racing speeder as she does on what her awareness of the Force makes her aware of; alert for any sense of impending danger that could mean the difference between rushing headlong into an ambush and managing to instead get the drop on the Plastic Boys. Her focus pays off when, as they speed over a hill and approach another dense forest, the Force warns her of danger ahead, and Vashity lifts a hand to call a halt.
Stowing their speeder bikes in a declivity just ahead of the forest, Vashity and the Alliance scouts cautiously make their way into the trees, and soon spot a Chicken Walker, the drone of speeder bikes in the distance suggesting that a few Biker Scouts are not far away. Sending two of the scouts back to their bikes to get ready to speed ahead, Vashity has their comms operator send the Chicken Walker's position to Ua'niall's tanks with a request that some fire be sent at the Walker, and then accompanies the third scout as they move for cover to await the artillery fire, watching for the Biker Scouts all the while . . .

As she rides with the troops mounted on one of the tanks advancing on the First Order force's right flank, Berdine hears the distant bark of tank fire as the company nearest to Vashity's position fires on the enemy walker that the Jedi Investigator had spotted, marking the official beginning of the engagement. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Berdine readies herself for the time when the tank company she accompanies also meets the enemy on the field.
Her wait is, while not a particularly lengthy one, tense and anxiety laden, both only mildly relieved when the order to dismount is given as the First Order forces laying in wait to repel the Alliance advance are spotted, and Berdine takes her saberstaff from its hook as she drops to the ground along with the Alliance troops riding the same tank as she had been. First Order tank fire begins to roar out from ahead as Berdine and the Alliance troops move for cover a moment before the tank they had dismounted from its hit by enemy fire and explodes behind them.
Answering fire from the Alliance tanks adds to the hellish din that erupts as the fighting begins, and Berdine ignites her saberstaff in time to deflect several blaster bolts that Stormtroopers ahead of their position begin to fire. The rapid bark of machine gun fire from an enemy tank sends clots of dirt flying just off to her right as Berdine accompanies several Alliance troopers advancing under cover from others rush for cover, and she lifts her free hand to telekinetically tear a large tree from its roots before hurtling it towards a group of Stormtroopers ahead of them . . .

Remaining with Lieutenant Wrotny and his platoon, Arduino sheds his hooded outer robe as they begin their advance behind the company's tanks, and ultimately decides to add a blaster rifle to his personal weapons given that he is not so adept at deflecting blaster fire so effectively or accurately as to make it an effective means of engaging the enemy forces laying siege to the planet's capital city.
The odd sense of calm detachment, perhaps more accurately simple numbness to the stresses of combat brought on by his recent encounter with the First Order back on Dathomir, does not leave Arduino even when, after the company's scouts report having sighted the enemy forces and relay their position to Wrotny and the other commanding officers, Wrotny begins issuing orders to his platoon.
Arduino remains with one of Wrotny's assault squads as, moving out behind the tanks that will be supporting them, they begin their advance on the enemy position. The sound of tank fire, signaling the moment that the company's advance units have begun the assault on the First Order's left flank, heralds the beginning of the battle for Wrotny's platoon, and Arduino shoulders his blaster rifle as the squad increases the pace of their advance, the sounds of the battle intensifying as the enemy begins to counter the attack, and prepares to meet their foes.

@ Vashity
The trio of Scout troopers patrolling near the AT-ST that is destroyed by enemy artillery fire comm the attack in to their commanding officer, after which they are ordered to move out for a position from which they can observe the movements of the enemy force approaching without being observed. The troopers, wary and alert given that the attack on the AT-ST almost certainly means that the enemy has its own scouts operating in the area, acknowledge the order and, riding far enough away from one another that no single attack is likely to take them both but not so far that they cannot maintain a visual on one another, set out for a moderately sized hill nearby.
@ Berdine
Several Stormtroopers are crushed, most killed with only a few injured, by the large tree Berdine uses the Force to hurl towards their position, the spectacular attack distracting the Stormtroopers who witness it enough that many more fall to the blaster fire the Alliance troops accompanying the Jedi pour down on them in the moments following the crashing of the tree.
The surviving Stormtroopers rally a moment later when one of the assault tanks of the MSG platoon moves into a position from which it can fire on the Jedi and Alliance troops, the attack coming from the front of the Alliance position so that it, ideally, diverts their attention from the pair of assault tanks that are rushing for the east of the Alliance position in an attempt to flank them.
@ Arduino
The tank platoon nearest to where Arduino and Lt. Wrotny launch their flanking attack quickly maneuvers once the attack has begun so that it can engage the Jedi and Alliance troops using a cross fire pattern, with the right flank tank firing on the leftmost area approached by the enemy while the left flank tank fires on the rightmost and the lead tank concentrates fire on the center of the enemy position.
The Stormtroopers accompanying the First Order tank platoon, after finding cover, begin selecting and engaging their targets, with the anti-armor troopers beginning to engage the Alliance tanks.

"And there they are, Vashity says under her breath when she spots the First Order Biker Scouts she had anticipated would be nearby the Chicken Walker that has been destroyed by Ua'niall's tanks flying in the distance. Lowering her electrobinoculars, Vashity turns to the Alliance scouts she chose to accompany, Alright, you three move out and start looking for someplace to see up an observation post. The Plastic Boys those Scout troops are scouting for are probably not far behind, so be careful. Reaching up to pull her tactical scarf up so that her nose and mouth are covered, Vashity explains in a cheerful tone that belies what she intends to do, I'll take care of those scouts. Thinking that that the situation at hand provides her the chance to head off alone to try and reach the capital, Vashity says, I think this is where we part ways for now. Good hunting," she adds by way of farewell, saluting the Alliance scouts before leaning over and kicking her speeder bike into gear.
Speeding off in the direction the First Order Biker Scouts had been headed, Vashity begins her search for them. Just as she has begun to think that she has lost the Biker Scouts, Vashity spots them ahead and off to her left, and leans to bank her bike so that she can come up behind the Biker Scout to her right. Unable to attack both Biker Scouts with her speeder bike's blaster cannon, Vashity draws her sidearm after jamming the Biker Scout's comlinks. Sighting in on the Biker Scout to her left with her sidearm, Vashity waits until she thinks she has a shot lined up for the back of the Scout's head before firing the blaster pistol while using the thumb of her opposite hand to trigger the bike's blaster cannon to fire at the center of the back of the other Biker Scout.

Katsumi's hunt for the presence she had first sensed when departing from Rendili after completing her intelligence gathering mission is rewarded not long after the opening shots of the ground battle begin. Though she does not get an immediate visual on the Light sided presence, Katsumi can feel its nearness to her own position close to where the AT-ST is destroyed. Abandoning her speeder bike, too loud to make stalking her prey feasible without alerting any to her movements, Katsumi moves with Force assisted speed through the trees of the densely forested area where she can sense the presence.
Leaping up into the branches of a tree to try and spot her quarry, Katsumi has her first look at the presence she has felt when the dark haired Chalactan female breaks away from the enemy scouts she accompanies, apparently moving off alone to pursue the First Order's scout troopers operating in the area. Watching the Alliance troopers pilot their speeder bikes away after the Chalactan woman has flown off, Katsumi briefly considers letting the enemy scouts go about their business unopposed so that she can continue her hunt, but in the end elects to set aside her own personal quest so that she can aid the First Order's forces; eliminating the enemy scouts will deprive them of an asset that could make the battle difficult for the First Order, and while Katsumi has little doubt as to the ultimate outcome of the battle, she cannot pass up an opportunity to weaken the enemy.
Using the Force to maintain a sense of where the Alliance scouts go is an easy feat for Katsumi, and only when she has closed the distance between them does she turn her efforts and focus from tracking them to actively concealing her presence so that she can approach close enough to eliminate them; using a combination of Force stealth and telepathic suggestion to ensure that the enemy troops have little chance of detecting her as she stalks towards where they establish their watch post.
Igniting her red hued lightsaber once she is behind the enemy soldiers, Katsumi lunges to stab the one nearest to her, sweeping her hand out to her right after completing the attack so that, if it was successful, her lightsaber cuts through the trooper and is freed so that she can immediately move to quickly attack the next nearest trooper . . .

The sniper team is killed when Cionaodh's rocket explodes on the roof of the building housing the city's shield generator, alerting the other members of the RDF platoon to the fact that they have come under attack. The RDF platoon leader, ordering two fire teams to hold the front entrance of the building, has the patrols further out begin falling back to protect the building, and then has two other teams begin moving for the building where the small Mandalorian was observed to go to cover.
One of the RDF fireteams takes up a position behind and to the left of the other to cover their advance, while the other team begins cautiously advancing on the building with weapons at the ready, with the team leader watching their 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock while his men watch their respective areas of responsibility for any sign that the Mandalorian, unlikely to be attacking alone, is attempting to draw them into an ambush.
Zdizslaw orders Niall and Tadhg to hold their positions until the RDF fireteams have reached a point where they will be able to, with Cionaodh's position being ahead of and to the west of theirs, engage the RDF teams from two sides. Once Jedrzej relays that the RDF fireteams have entered the point where Cionaodh and his team can attack with overlapping arcs of fire, Cionaodh moves out from cover and, his small stature and kneeling position offering the enemy a difficult target to hit, opens fire on the RDF's advance team. Niall and Tadhg, once Cionaodh has engaged the enemy, begin firing on the enemy as well, with Niall focusing on the advance team while Tadhg focuses on the team covering them.
Once the fighting between the RDF fireteams and Cionaodh's team begins, Zdizslaw has Berach and Abiageal move out to begin making their way to the western side of the target building, along a route parallel to the one he and Toiréasa take to approach the target's north facing side. To decrease the odds of the RDF spotting either team, Zdizslaw has Jedrzej begin sniping the RDF troops on the target's north side, while Ksenia continues to monitor the enemy force's movements and relay them to the squad.
Jedrzej, after taking a moment to watch the RDF troops he will be engaging to try and spot one looking like they are the commanding officer, sights in on the head of his first target and, once he is satisfied with his aim, fires off a shot and then calmly begins lining up his next shot.
Toiréasa, keeping pace with Zdizslaw as they move through an alley as they begin maneuvering for their next rally point, shoulders her blaster rifle and quickly scans the HUD of her buy'ce to see if her sensor suite reveals anything that her eyes, or Jedrzej and Ksenia, have missed. |

One of the Alliance squad leaders comms Colonel Ua'niall to report their situation, requesting air support to suppress the First Order forces they are engaged with. Moments later a trio of LAATs screams by overhead, and Berdine watches as they unleash a hail of laser cannon and rocket fire on the enemy's position, and then, under covering fire from Alliance tanks, rushes forward with the Alliance troopers to charge the First Order Stormtroopers, her lightsaber howling and keening as she leaps amidst the enemy and begins cutting a swath through them. . . . Cionaodh moves out from cover and, his small stature and kneeling position offering the enemy a difficult target to hit, opens fire on the RDF's advance team. Niall and Tadhg, once Cionaodh has engaged the enemy, begin firing on the enemy as well, with Niall focusing on the advance team while Tadhg focuses on the team covering them. . .Toiréasa, keeping pace with Zdizslaw as they move through an alley as they begin maneuvering for their next rally point, shoulders her blaster rifle and quickly scans the HUD of her buy'ce to see if her sensor suite reveals anything that her eyes, or Jedrzej and Ksenia, have missed.
The fireteam covering the lead team is less fortunate, focusing the fire on the first Mandalorian that had appeared, only one spotting the other Mandalorians that emerge from cover in time to avoid being killed by the ambush.
The platoon leader, ordering an additional pair of fire teams to move out and engage the enemy, is killed by the Mandalorian's sniper after giving the order, briefly leaving the RDF platoon in confusion as they try unsuccessfully to determine where the shot came from and determine who is now in command.
The Mandalorian acting as a spotter will see that Zdislaw and Toiresa are about to cross paths with one of the RDF squads falling back to the building housing the shield generator, and therefore be able to warn them a moment before the RDF squad, spotting the Mandalorians as they advance, open fire on them while finding cover. |

City Shield
Cionaodh grunts as the blaster fire one of the RDF troopers sends his way strikes the breastplate of his beskar'gam, grimacing as he stubbornly holds his ground and calmly steadies himself so that he can fire on the surviving two troopers of the advance team as they seek cover, hoping to keep them pinned so that Niall and Tadhg can move to flank them.
Niall, motioning for Tadhg to press the attack on the lone surviving member of the RDF team that had been covering the advance team, uses the cover fire that Cionaodh provides to rush forward to a speeder that gives him cover and has a line of sight on where the two remaining members of the advance team have sought cover. Rising from behind the hood of the speeder as Tadhg continues his advance, Niall rakes the RDF troopers' position from side to side once in the hope of inciting a bit of panic before he begins taking more time to aim carefully at the individual troopers.
Zdislaw, dropping to a knee when warned of the RDF squad approaching by Jedrzej and Ksenia, aims a rocket at the center of the group and, as a pair of blaster bolts bounce off of his beskar'gam harmlessly, fires it as they begin firing on where he and Toiréasa halted their advance. Toiréasa, having sought cover behind a dumpster several feet to the west of Zdislaw's position, uses her buy'ce's sensors to fire on the RDF troops that survive the explosion even before the smoke and debris raised by it have begun to clear.
Jedrzej, after his first target has fallen, takes advantage of the obvious confusion that follows by aiming at one trooper and firing, immediately targeting another and firing once more as Ksenia continues to monitor the RDF troop movements and relay them to Zdislaw.
Berach and Abiageal, encountering no resistance on their advance to the western side of the target building, reach their target and report in to Zdislaw, who orders them to attack the group guarding the front entrance from behind. Moving quickly alongside the building, Berach and Abiageal move quickly to where they can fire on the group of RDF troopers holding the front entrance, with Berach moving ahead of where Abiageal finds cover so that he can attack from their four o'clock while Abiageal does so from their five o'clock.

Returning fire on the tiny Mandalorian all the while, the two surviving RDF troopers in the advance team find cover from the small Mandalorian only to come under the blaster fire that Niall directs towards them, one wounded in the initial salvo of raking fire and the other killed outright when the fire becomes more precisely aimed. The wounded RDF trooper, hit in the upper left thigh, seeks cover as blaster bolts continue to pelt the speeder he managed to get behind, and then turns to see how the team that had been covering him and his comrades is faring.
The only surviving member of the covering team drops to a knee and takes time to carefully aim at an unarmored portion of Tadhg's abdomen as the Mandalorian advances, firing three quick bursts from his blaster rifle before rising to a crouch and, after firing a few bursts towards Niall in hopes of buying his wounded comrade an opportunity to fire on the other Mandalorians, rushing for the entrance of an alley nearby to regroup.
Zdislaw and Toiresa make quick work of the squad they run afoul of, the rocket taking out nearly half of the RDF troopers while the blaster fire that follows quickly on the heels of the conflagration that the rocket gives rise to takes out the rest.
At the entrance of the building housing the shield generator, the RDF trooper that assumes command after their commanding officer is killed by sniper fire orders the remaining members of the platoon holding the front entrance to retreat inside the building. Four more troopers fall as, while retreating, a pair of Mandalorians attack from the western side of the building without warning, leaving only a total of twelve RDF troopers to stand against the Mandalorians. Seven of the troopers find cover inside on the ground floor that gives them a clear view of the frontal approach, the remaining five spread out on the upper walkways overlooking the ground floor from all entry points so that they can direct the fire of their comrades on the lower level towards where the Mandalorians make their entry attempt. . .

Tadgh winces as the blaster bolt fired at his torso impacts his right side, narrowly missing one of the beskar'gam plates that would have absorbed the blast and burning into his flesh just above his hip. Cursing as he drops behind cover, Tadgh leans to the side of the speeder in time to see the RDF soldier disappear into an alley, and then uses hand signals to make Niall aware of where the trooper has gone. Niall nods, moving in a crouch to the side of the building forming one side of the alley and then, motioning for Tadgh to cover him, shoulders his rifle and swivels to face the alley, dropping to a knee as he sweeps his rifle from one side of the alley to the other while searching for the trooper, his finger on the trigger and ready to fire if he spots the enemy soldier.
Cionaodh, leaving cover once the enemy fire has ceased for a moment, spots the wounded RDF trooper behind the speeder on his buy'ce's HUD after swfitching his sensors to detect lifeforms and, running forward for a few paces, fires his jetpack's thrusters to take him up into the air and over the vehicle. Pivoting to turn to face the side of the speeder the wounded enemy trooper has sought cover behind, Cionaodh aims and fires a quick shot from his blaster rifle at the trooper's head.
Zdzislaw, once he and Toiréasa have confirmed that the enemy troopers that they engaged are all neutralized and all members of his squad have reported in on their situations, orders Berach and Abiageal to use their jetpacks to reach the top of the building the shield generator, after which they are to wait for his signal to make their way inside and move to cover the attack he and the others will initiate on the front entrance as a distraction for them. Instructing Jedrzej and Ksenia to hold their position and watch for any additional RDF troop movements in the immediate vicinity of the shield generator, Zdsislaw and Toiréasa move quickly for the front entrance of the building the remaining RDF troopers have gone to try and hold the shield generator, waiting behind cover for Cionaodh and his team to join them after dealing with the last of the RDF troopers outside of the building.

Arduino hears the sound of one of the Alliance tanks exploding from behind him as he and the members of Wrotny's assault squadron find cover as the Stormtroopers open fire on them. One of the Alliance troopers armed with a RPS-6 rocket launcher is gunned down as he tries to sight in on one of the enemy tanks, and Arduino lets his rifle drop to hang from his sling at his side as he runs for the launcher, shouting for the other members of the squad to cover him so that he can try and destroy the tank that is supporting the Stormtroopers that are about to successfully pin them down.
As the other members of the squad lay down suppressing fire, Arduino sights in on the tank and launches a rocket as soon as he has it targeted. The enemy tank explodes, sending shrapnel out in all directions, and Arduino ignores the blaster fire that begins to sizzle through the air around him as he searches for another tank to disable or destroy, shouting for the other members of the squad to press their advance. Firing a second rocket at an enemy tank, Arduino hisses as a blaster bolt hits his left shoulder, spinning him backwards. Hitting the dirt and rolling to escape the blaster fire that continues to hurtle towards him, Arduino drops the launcher as the second enemy tank explodes. Assessing his wound, which is painful but not debilitating, Arduino reaches for his blaster rifle and, lifting it to his right shoulder, breaks from cover and sprays the Stormtrooper position nearest to him quickly before rising and joining the other members of the assault squad as, under cover from the remaining Alliance tanks, they press their advance.
