OOC:

NOTE: still in progress.

The small city had been abandoned for years now. The people had fled, the homes had been looted, and it was nearly lifeless now. War had driven the people away. But now it was war that gave the place occasional bursts of life, even for a just brief, fleeting moment. The only people who lived there now were wizened veterans and their trainees.

The Vast Empire had set up training grounds in and around the large town and was training its soldiers in the art of war. Scouting missions would set out on its borders, medics were being trained in the central hospital, technicians worked in communication bays, all training to continue, and with luck end, the war that had brought this town to its knees.

Out of all the places in the city, all the buildings and neighborhoods, few saw so much activity as the city's once busy, though relatively small, commercial district.

Out of all the places in the city, all the buildings and neighborhoods, few saw so much activity as the city's once busy commercial district. The Vast Empire, having no need for commercial business, had transformed the central grid into something else entirely, filling it with a, different, variety of activity. That of war. Blaster fire would rain down in volleys and firefights dominated the streets. This was Ion's destination.

Team South had received the standard storm trooper armor with urban camouflage and a red stripe on both their right arms and left legs to differentiate them from their northern counterparts. Team North would have blue stripes, they would also outnumber Team South, three to one. The objective was to give both teams fair experience in a variety of warfare. Both sides would attempt to gain and hold several objective buildings, each with a given value of points varying with size and position; South, being at a natural disadvantage, would need a larger strategy to win.

The large transport dropped off Ion and a quarter of the group of trainees at the far southern edge of the designated war zone. Their sergeant followed behind them as the transport left for the Northern Staging area.

"All right team, as you all know, you've been placed at a disadvantage. Your only a third the size of your enemy and are going to have to fight for each and every one of your bases. To help offset this imbalance you'll need every advantage you can get your hands on. Both squads will receive a weapons package with several different weapon styles available. If you divide your forces accordingly and can find a suitable strategy, you may yet win in spite of a lack of numbers.

Code: Select all

Still working on this, about halfway done, I should have the rest soon.
