Christophsis

#1

Post by swrider » Sun Feb 04, 2018 1:19 am

A galaxy divided! Striking swiftly after the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku's droid army has seized control of the major hyperspace lanes, separating the Republic from the majority of its clone army. With few clones available, the Jedi generals cannot gain a foothold on the Outer Rim as more and more planets choose to join Dooku's Separatists.

the clones steadily advance on the Separatists' forces, gaining the Republic an early victory. The victory doesn't last long, though, as the droid army under General Loathsom soon returns for more bloodshed. With no communications or the ability to fly in reinforcements, the fate of the few remaining clone soldiers are in the hands of Clone Commader Rex.

"Forward observers this is Commander Rex report." a voice comes over the communicator. A small group of elite scouts sits perched on the 168th floor of a skyscrapper overlooking a large roadway. A single C-9979 droid landing craft entering the atmosphere above the droid headquarters.

Vehicles begin departing the C-9979 immediately upon its landing. Multiple troop transports, armored assault tanks, Platoon attack craft and snail tanks disembark from the ship. They move to various positions around the enemy headquarters.

The multi troop transports offload numerous droids who being arrange into a formation along with AATs and Snail tanks near the far side of the bridge.

Wook looks through the electrobinoculars. Speaking to Ten99, "Well Boss I think he's right. There's a bunch of tin-heads lining up with support tanks at the other end of the bridge, can't tell you what though". Wook offers the electrobinoculars up to the others so the can check.

"Well there goes the neighborhood. Everyone knows clankers make horrible neighbors." Doc looked around their immediate area for anything they could use to their advantage. Blowing the bridge didn't seem like an option right now because they were too far away. They could try to force them into a bottleneck so they would be easier to manage. But the question was how?

Taking the binos he tries to scan the area for a way to force the droids down certain streets to spread them out so they would be easier to handle. "See any sections that they can be bottlenecked into? If we can thin them out they will be easier to destroy."

"Understood, I am patching the coordinates to Arc Fire his men will ready the artillery.
A few minutes go by as the droid army continues to assemble. A loud whistle can be heard passing by you and a few seconds latter it is followed by a second then a third then a bright explosion right in next to your building. A second explosion lands to the left side of the bridge crumpling damaging a building outside the enemy perimeter, then a vulture droid which flew into position over the munitions pile to offload ordinance is engulfed in a bright explosion. Ss the flash clears the pile of munitions is engulfed in burning metal, unexplored. Clone barricades in front of the enemy location burst apart violently clearing the enemy path. Lastely an explosion on the side of the landing craft reflects off its hull leaving a black scare where the impact occurred.

Spoiler:

One of you should make an average knowledge warfare check to know which projectile did what or a hard vigilance check. other things which can be done to help improve accuracy would be a perception check to provide more accurate information or to adjust fire. Other skills or Ideas which players have.


Each of you take 4 strain from the faulty projection which exploded near you.

The droid formation begins to march forward along the bridge moving slowly in a straight line at the speed of the marching droids. The transport unit shuts it doors and begins to lift off into the air.

Ten-99 reports in adjusted coordinates to HQ. Hopefully, correcting the previous inaccuracies.

"Who forgot to tell the ARC troopers to wipe their lenses before firing again. I swear we could have painted a bullseye on the droids and they would still hit us!" Doc just shook his head, partially at the accuracy but mostly to clear the ringing. "Should probably have three guns lay on the bridge ahead of the advance while two of the guns try one more time to take out those shells."

Wook grabs his helmet to steady himself. "Doc, I agree with you assessment, but maybe you can give them eye exams when we get back. You'd think being 168 stories up would be safer than standing on that bridge."

Another series of whistles passes by overwatch in quick succession. Two shots ring out at the front of the droid formation sending a tank flying into pieces, the shrapnel tearing through multiple droids on the front lines. Others pass too far forward completely missing the formation. The ammunition pile continues to burn as two artillery explosions go off in its vicinity missing their intended target.

Dark smoke rises up from the bridge from something which caught fire from one of the explosions. The fog partially obscuring the view of the battle as the droid army presses forward into the barrage of fire and rising smoke.

"Over watch this is Arc Fire, that last barrage overheated four of the artillery units, they need a minute to cool down. The last battery was targeting to the rear over. We still have no visuals or sensors on our end of the advancing clankers."

"Down to one artillery unit? The pressure is on."

"Arc Fire, prepare to redirect that operational gun to the front of the enemy advance."

"So, one unit left? Maybe we should appeal to their egos a little. I bet they can't hit that StarCafe franchise on the lower floor of the building we want near the bridge." Wook joked as he continued to watch the tide of droids advance slowly along the bridge. "If fact I'll polish that gunner's armor for a week if he can do it within two tries."

Arc fire responds to what he hears in the background. "I'll take that bet, my boys are the best around." He calls back as a single whistle is followed by a loud explosion exactly where challenged. The building begins to list sideways but your vision is pulled away as a second loud explosion near the enemy camp goes off. As you look to the side a huge plume of droid parts and flames emanates from the former location of a pile of munitions. The blast reaches straight up colliding with the C-9979 now attempting to take off. The blast quickly rupturing the bottom of the hull. A few seconds pass before the large wings of the ship fall to the ground, their repusler fields failing. The main ship also tumbles in a large explosion and fire ball blocking off any view of the enemy camp.
Spoiler:
The munitions pile is a result of your previous hit on the pile. That hit registered 4 threat were resulted in a delayed explosion. The dumb droids tried to fly right over it!

"Wow they can hit what they aim at. I guess I'd better get my polishing cloth ready." Wook says smiling beneath his helmet. "If we survive this mess."

The smoke takes several minutes to clear before the first glimpse of the droid army can be seen. The droids and tanks have turned around and have moved back to the droid base out of range of the artillery.

"Overwatch this is Commander Cody. The Jedi are breathing down my through. What do you think you are doing bringing down a building! Report!"

Doc grabbed the radio before anyone else could respond. ”Commander the immediate area was previously evacuated so the risk to civilian casualties is non-existent. The droid army is currently fallen back to their base. With the roadway blocked we will be able to better fortify and set traps for any efforts that the enemy will take to clear it.” He waited for the response. How was he supposed to know that the Jedi would be upset about buildings being destroyed? Either way the droid advance was stopped.

Turning to Doc, 1099 responds, "They should be grateful for our help! Minutes ago they were worried about being overrun by droids. At least now they have a reprieve."

"About time they recognized Doc's great idea. Now the question is whether or not we move in closer to that droid base to get a better view of things for when the artillery moves up within range?" Wook says looking to his squad-mates for their opinions.

"Well they thought we were just destroying buildings for the fun of it?" Doc just shrugged. Who knew how a Jedi truly thought. "We could just fly down there, set some traps and get solid coords for the Arc boys. No more of this guessing business."

As the debris and clouds settle the clone scouts leap from their perch high above the carnage. Their jet-packs aiding them to descend gradually to the surface. Several thousand pounds of debris and metal now cover the bridge. Large pieces of concrete create numerous points of cover while impeding pedestrian traffic. Massive clearing efforts would be required for any vehicular traffic to pass through the road block and scaling over the debris would slow any vehicles down making them easy targets for attack.

As the group lands the sound of a republic landing craft passes overhead and you look up to see a single gunship flying towards your camp.
