Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Battle for Felucia

After being able to rest we moved to the next assignment as it was given.

Felucia was a planet with strange lifeforms, flesh eating diseases and god knows what else, space seemed to be a more comfortable atmosphere but even more dangerous than the planets floor, but we had no other choice, if we wanted to end this war then we'd have to go to every CIS Occupied Planet, even the hardest ones the space battle was a duck shoot for the CIS a quail shoot for us, their fighters seemed almost too fast for us to hit them but we still fought and that's what we should do…

*in the action (ship)*

"All advanced pilots get to the hangar bay" we heard our orders through the ships speakers all authorized pilots and assault troopers headed off to battle through our speakers in the ships we hear "Take out those vulture droids" five vulture droids came onto the radar our squadron leader yelled into his mic "Alpha squadron move in and shoot them out of the sky, lucky don't give up now" I respond "yes sir! Im right onto it"

I hit the afterburners to move in closer and shoot one down when I get close enough, "one down! That's how it's done" I move on to the next target and it falls towards the command ship after three perfect shots, as I got closer the Vulture droids flew over me and one got on my tail shooting almost hitting my engines.

"I've got a tail!" I yell into the mic, Zeta responded "Im on it lucky" not too long after the vulture droid exploded into scraps in space, Zeta said "more scrap for the pile" Zeta flies past me nodding as he shoot down another droid, after the droid falls Zeta says "one more to go lucky it's yours" I hit the afterburners and rush to the next target, I fire my torpedoes and it seems to disappear in a fiery explosion that stops burning almost immediately.

"All fighters take out that Frigate." Me and Zeta focus our fire on the comm ship frigate, using torpedoes and our ships blaster bolts, it took a while, but we managed to destroy it, Zeta yells "That's teamwork right there, aye lucky?" I Respond, "Yeah it is, Captain, what's our next orders?"

The captain responds, "It's time to take out the command ships communication array, take out the shield then destroy their antennae." Our whole squad respond, "Focus fire on the shields understood." We all start firing torpedoes and blaster bolts to the ships shields while trying to avoid the onslaught of The vulture droids and tri-fighters, each bolt that hit the shield left a momentary Ripple in the shield until it stopped then we focused fire on the communication array each hit left it smoking a bit more then the last until it exploded.

The captain said, "good work, Lucky and Zeta get on board and destroy their cooling system we'll keep the fighters occupied out here." Zeta and I Respond, "we're on it sir." We fly to the other side of their command ship and land in the hangar, when we land in the hangar we jump out and run in with thermal detonators, our blasters blazing.

Every bolt we shot we hit, the auto turret was the first thing we destroyed, in time my blaster rifle ran out of ammunition, so I swapped to my DC-15 side arm I then say to Zeta "Well isn't that unfortunate? Anyway we have a mission to do. Let's do it." He nods to me "I agree lets go." I ran into the room first shooting any droid I came across until we made it to the Cooling room, "get your detonators ready, focus them on the main parts of the cooling system, I'll cover your back." Zeta said to me as I ran through placing detonators everywhere I could, after placing the detonators I say, "Detonators set let's get off this scrap pile." We rush to ships to find our fighters were beyond repair.

I turn to Zeta "We have no choice we need to use their fighters, lets go." As we jump on two separate fighters I set off the detonators, as the captain sees the explosion he says, "Good work guys, now all fighters take out their command bridge, once its out we should have a smooth ride ahead of us."

We focus fire on the command bridge making every shot count, it took ages, but we managed to take it out. on our way back the captain said, "Way to go men lets get back to the command ship, refill on supplies, rest and get to the surface…You've done well men, lucky and zeta, we couldn't have finished this battle without you."

*on board our command ship*

on board our command ship I had restocked my ammunition for my DC-15 blaster, I grabbed a piece of scrap and wood then I turn it into a dagger, I then carved a 4 leaf clover and the letter 'L' onto each side of my blaster.

Zeta watched me do the whole thing, I turn to him and say, "I will keep this at my side until my last breath, when I die keep it, in memoir of me." Zeta reacts in shock, "Don't go making that opinion, you'll outlast me I'll make sure of that. lucky, stay safe. You're the closet thing I have to a proper brother" we go to the cabins accompanied by our squad, Beta, Gamma and the medic Epsilon

We rest but it was cut short by a captain yelling "Get up men, we're arriving, according to our records the clankers are the least of our problem so Aayla Secura will be accompanying you, now get to your shuttles and lift-off." We all yell "Sir, yes Sir!" then we rush to our transport fighter that has another five people were on board.

We landed on Felucia.

*in the action (Land)*

we were unaware of what other dangers were around but that night we lost the 5 extra men quite quickly then for the other nights we stayed in the AT-AT, we were quite surprized how many men were bundled up in the AT-AT, we never came across any CIS for the first week surprisingly but we did come across what looked like huge pray mantis' we knew them as aklay.

Over time our AT-AT was unusable except for cover over night we kept moving during the day until, Blaster fire broke the silence as well as screeches of the aklay dying, it had been days until Ayala Secura had arrived Luckily she did the CIS Droids fell like rocks and the aklay trembled as if they were a weakened tower, her abilities were amazing but we still lost most of our reinforcements were killed by the Flesh eating parasites, the Aklay and The worst were the CIS.

Ayala Secura managed to recover a power core from a destroyed AT-AT and replace our immobilized AT-AT's Two people from our reinforcements got in and started shooting the particle cannons that were set up, once they were destroyed the Droids were like wingless Ducks.

When we were rotated off Felucia we were all relieved to be off the planet, we were sent to try and help the troopers on Kashyyyk Ayala made a point to see us off personally, she called us the bravest soldiers she has fought beside, if only she saw what was under our masks, we were afraid.

I hope her death comes quick…
