Episode 1.6 The sound of the LAAT/i grew louder as it approached. When it came in view, it was clearly heavily modified. It was sporting a dark grey paint job, had a laser chain turret on either side below the cockpit. It also seemed to be carrying concision middle launchers under its wing. It approached the group who had just destroyed three shuttles worth of stormtroopers. As it got closer it slowed its approach. Artorias: “That looks to be a heavily retrofitted republic gunship. They must be desperate to be using those.” Fett(Clearly knowing more): “They aren’t that desperate. Not yet anyway.” The gunship finally descended towards the group. As it descended, the group could see that the front LCTs were occupied. So were the bubble turrets on the wings. It landed with its doors open. Two mandalorians in grey armor stood in the cargo hold. As it was landing, Fett moved to the back of the group, clearly hoping the Mandos would not notice him. Grey Mando #1: “Do you know how crazy y’all are to try and land on Mandalore!?!” Thor: “Yes, we are aware. We actually have been hired to help liberate the planet from the empire.” Nohbdy: “We are getting paid to save y’alls shebs. Best if you cooperate.” Hammer: “Sorry about him. He didn’t really want to do this anyway.” Grey Mando #2: “Well since y’all are here to help, I am Zod, he’s Vick. We will take you to our staging area. Kinda lucky y’all were able to get here this close until we launch our attack.” Vick: “A little to lucky if you ask me.” Fett: “Luck has nothing to do with it. We are getting paid to come here and get rid of the empire. Simple as that.” Vick and Zod recognize Fett. Zod: “Well if you are here Mandalore will be liberated. Okay we need to get moving before the empire sends more ships.” Everyone gets into the gunship. It takes off and heads towards the staging area. ..................................... The gunships lands at the staging area. Everyone in the hold gets off and moves to the command tent. They notice that there are another 17 gunships. Hammer: “Is it me or do those twelve gunships have lighter armor?” Zod: “ They actually have thinner armor but that armor is bes’kar.” Arotrias: “I didn’t realize there was that much of the metal.” Vick: “Like most people you don’t.” The group reaches the command tent. Zod motions everyone inside. Inside there are four mandalorians. The only recognizable one has his helmet off. Two of the other ones appear to be much older than the third. The first older one was wearing sand gold armor while the other was wearing black. The younger one was wearing a hodgepodge if all colors. Fett: “Fenn Shysa. I wondered if you were still alive.” Fenn: “You know me Fett, I am hard to kill. So I heard you are here to help kick the empire off Mandalore?” Fett: “Yes we are.” Fenn: “Well here is the over all plan. You must have noticed we have 18 retrofitted gunships, 12 with Mandalorian Iron. Right? Well they aren’t retrofitted. We have a secret production facility producing them. We are planning on boarding the star destroyers in orbit using the 12 bes’kar ones. Two gunships to a star destroyer. We won’t be landing on the other two and the SSD quite yet. While this is happening up in the air, we will be attacking the local garrison and their TIE fighter factory. I guess you and your team will help take the garrison.” Fett: “And what’s the plan on attacking the garrison?” Older Mando #1: “How much do you like swimming?” [spoiler]End PART 6. I am sorry it took me so long to make this. We all know how life can be. [/spoiler]
