Scenario Outline:

Fro-Ja has recently landed safely upon the plant Illum, and is now within the protective confines of the Thrawn research facility located in the lowlands. During initial debriefing, Vaynus and his forces realize that the rodian mercenary was dim-witted enough to contact them whilst he was still within VE controlled space. Now aware of possible attack, Vaynus sends out Imperial mech and ground units to form a protective screen before the facility, intending to finish debriefing the rodian on planet before retreating to back to the relative safety of his Star Destroyer. The VE must break through the screen and disable all aircraft within the facility hanger to prevent Commodore Vaynus and the mercenary Fro-Ja from escaping.

Vaynus's Forces:

Note: All are imperial in form. Ground forces are clad in snowtrooper/stormtrooper armor and bear similar insignias to those of the VE. Confusion between enemy and friendly forces is a highly probable occurrence.

Note: All of Vaynus's forces have been trained in a similar manner to the soldiers of the VE, as such, many enemy officers will be aware of standard imperial tactics. Initiative and creativity will be necessary to catch the enemy off guard and break through the lines.

VE Forces:


Note: Due to the extreme weather conditions of the planet Illum, all VE soldiers will be wearing Snowtrooper armor for the duration of the mission. A short description of the armor is available here: Wiki: Snowtrooper

Each squad has a distinctly different objective during the mission. These are outlined in further detail below. It is important to note that ALL squads must achieve their initial objectives before we move onto Phase Two of the mission, so take your time, work with your squad members and don't rush through your part.

Map of Battleground:

A little dodgy, but here it is.

- The research facility, whilst not heavily defended, has the added defense of three large, and significantly deadly turrent emplacements
- The positioning of the VE forces is highlighted in bright red to the left of the map. We must fight our way from the left of the map, through Vaynus's forces and towards the Research Facility on the right
- Ground force positioning is shown in the bright blue. Each square (consisting of around two squads, or 24 men) has had some time to prepare small trenches that will allow for some degree of cover against incoming fire
- These ground forces are supported by the presence of a number of mech units. Each square on the map represents three AT-ST walkers. A short description of the AT-ST is available here: Wiki: AT-ST
- The brown rectangles on the northern and southern boundaries of the map represent mountain ranges which prevent the VE forces from moving around the assembled enemy and towards the facility. They can not be traversed
- The pink squares lining the perimeter of the facility are representative of guard towers, containing mounted guns that are manned by Imperial soldiers

Sure, you're more than welcome to bring along a personal weapon (within reason, don't bring an assassin droid or something ). As you won't be getting up close and personal with most of Thrawn's men, the differences won't be that noticeable. If you get close enough to see insignia's they will be similar in design, yet notably different in form. I wouldn't dwell too much on the insignias though, as they're not overly important. Uniform wise, they're going to look pretty much exactly the same, especially in snowtrooper gear

so its like CSS when we look at a friendly it comes up with a name in a friendly colour (blue) and enemies come up in red? because otherwise I know where my squad is, but I am not 100% sure where the other squads are, last thing I want is to tear into Wraith squad with an E-web and than have to look sorry

Ok...


Well, as it has been seconded by many people, it is also HIGHLY encouraged to post at least 400 words.  It's not much, less than a page.  It allows more quality and story content as well as character development.  Its understandable sometimes its hard to write more than 300 and thats perfectly fine, just make sure it isnt done when it can be avoided.  Quality over quantity.

Good luck.

I'm a PFC just like you, plus i joined a month ago.  Err...well rejoined.  If you're concerned with your post being deleted, ask whoever did it why.

It's fine.  Dont worry about the actual number.  What we meant by 400 was a decent sized post that wasn't rushed.  It's to encourage more thought out posts rather than ones posted in a frantic hurry for the purpose of getting more posts up for the squad.
