A small beach covered in buildings and barricades built by the Wookies. On an overlooking hill is a Wookie outpost which is protected by a large wooden wall. The Empire has recently began taking interest in this spot...

Jonas had just woken up, and he was still in no better of a mood than he was when he went to sleep. The Speedrunner was hovering only miles above a beach on Kashyyyk. A tribe of Wookies were scrambling across it like ants. Some of them were fleeing to an outpost above the beach, others , armed ones, were coming down from the outpost and assuming combat positions behind wooden barricades. Wooden barricades? All Jonas had to do with give the signal, and the Speedrunner would unleash a barrage of laser fire on their "protection". But that wasn't what Tomkin Cammber, admiral of the fleet, wanted to happen. They had orders to deploy all the Imperial troopers on their ships to battle the Wookie forces below and capture the outpost. All the Speedrunner was allowed to do was provide covering fire, not destroy anything. Jonas didn't see the point in it. Why capture something when they could more easily destroy the place? Jonas walked into the bridge, and took his seat in the captain's chair.
"Alright, everyone knows the drill. Deploy the Imperial troopers in carriers, provide covering support, blah, blah, blah. Hop to it." Jonas shouted loud enough for everyone inside the bridge and standing outside the door to hear.
And with that order, a dozen Imperial carriers flew past the Speedrunner's bridge, heading for the beach.

(OOC: Oh ok I see. I shall bring my character in.)
Sulk stood on a carrier, and felt it jolt forward at the command.
"Ok men when those doors open keep your heads down, run fast, and give our men some damn cover fire!" Sulk called out before placing his black helmet back on his head.
A huge bump...the carrier stopped. And then suddenly without warning the doors flew open and the carrier emptied it's load of Stormtroopers onto the field.
Sulk was last, slowly walking behind the huge swarm of white soldiers. Lasers flew away from him, at him, the whole nine yards but he just kept walking until he reached a barricade on the beach and ducked behind it. Two other troopers ducked behind it with him, and fired frightfully at the wookies on the wooden wall. Sulk kept his cool as always and after a moment poked his head up, and unloaded a clip into a couple of wookies...two down, lots to go...

Jonas watched from above as the Stormtroopers did what they do best. He was no longer inside the Speedrunner, now he was in the front seat of a carrier, observing the battle from a closer view. The pilot, a Stormtrooper with a large scar across his helmet, didn't say anything to Jonas ever since the flight started. Good. Jonas had no interest in talking. The battle was even. Once in a while a group of Wookies would begin charging the Stormtroopers, taking back the beach, then the next second a wave of laser fire from the above Star Destroyers would obliterate them, giving the Imperial ground forces the edge.
"This is going to be an interesting fight..." Jonas commented.
The Stormtrooper piloting didn't say anything. He just kept on flying circles around the area, trying to avoid fire from Wookie ground forces and Imperial ships.

"Give me that..." Sulk said, grabbing a trooper's thermal detonator.
He ignored the Stardestroyers help, and simply tossed in into the advancing Wookies. He smirked under his helmet as he saw a chunk of Wookies fly into the air, and a lot of the others being mowed down.
"Only a matter of time sir..." Sulk said into a radio to the main Carrier...

"Sir, we just received a transmission from the ground forces. They're overrunning the Wookies' position, and they say victory is only a matter of time."
The emotionless voice over the radio was speaking directly to Jonas. Jonas smiled. Of course, he was already smiling, but hearing that just made his smile grow. Soon the beach would be theirs, then, hopefully, they could bombard the planet and be done with it.

Sulk put done his radio and quickly picked back up his rifle. With a click of his helmet Sulk turned on his thermal, and looked beyond the wooden "Protection".
"Oh God...turrets! Behind the wall!" Sulk shouted loud enough that his voice leaked through the radio.
Seconds later, the five turrets blasted their way through the decoy wooden wall and began to mow down troopers. Not only were the turrets revealed with the purpose destruction of the false wall, but a stronger, taller, and reinforced wall appeared.
"This will be harder than I thought...'' Sulk said, from behind a barricade as lasers flew around...

Bourne looked on as the wall crumbled whilst they blasted toward the beach head. Bourne's clothes sway in the water breeze. The troopers were all over the beach head, the wookies retreating back to the second embankment. From Bournes vantage point he could see the entire field.
A laser blast flew by Bournes head, he didnt flinch. Bourne knelt down with his hands at his sides. He lept up into the air above the field.

"JEDI!!!" a trooper called out as the man jumped.
"Damn...how didn't we notice him?!" Sulk said as he began to shoot at the Jedi...

The battle wasn't anything Jonas hadn't seen before. Stormtroopers being torn apart by the claws of Wookies, Wookies being gunned down by laser fire from above and below, and grenades sending clumps of sand and dirt in every direction. Anyone else would've probably been awestruck, but Jonas had gotten used to it over the years. But then he spotted something different. Something very different. Something he hadn't seen since he was a child. A Jedi. The Wookies had begun retreating back to the outpost on the hill, firing back over their shoulders at the Stormtroopers. The Jedi was watching the battle from on top of a cliff. A stray shot nearly hit him in the head, but missed by an inch. Then the Jedi jumped off the cliff and into the fray. This did awestruck Jonas. He looked away from the window and over towards his pilot.
"Pilot, take us down lower. I want to see this thing a little bit closer." He ordered him.

Sulk looked away from the Jedi only to see a carrier begin to drop to the shore...Jonas.
"Sir...it's not safe here." Sulk said into the radio as he watched the ship come down, and was almost hit with a turret shot...

Still in mid air, Bourne drew his lightsaber and raised it over his head. Several shots flew by as he descended. A lone storm trooper looked on as Bourne came on top of him, slicing him in half. The two pieces of the trooper fell to the ground.
The rest of the squad that Bourne had landed in was dumb-founded and began shooting wildly toward his direction. Bourne turned sharply and rotated his blade around the top of his head and then parried the beam shots, several shots flew by besides one which hit a soldier in his right shoulder. Bourne continued dealing blows with his lightsaber.
One trooper had made an attempt to wrestle Bourne to the ground, Bourne ducked and cut away the troopers legs. Another man brought out another blaster and began a duel wielding attack. Bourne leaped forward and moved his lightsaber through his neck, the mans head rolled across the sand. Bourne looked around noticed to his astonishment that he had just killed a whole platoon.
Bourne turned and watched another ship land, he began running toward it with saber drawn.

((I didn't actually mean he was landing, but I wanted to get into the action, anyway.))
The carrier ship came lower, lower, and lower to the beach. Turret shots were coming towards it, but the pilot was skilled enough to avoid them. Then Jonas noticed that it was getting a bit too low. The pilot then pressed the landing gear button, and the carrier ship landed on the ground.
"What the hell are you doing?! I wanted to get closer, not land!" Jonas shouted.
The Stormtrooper had no excuse besides, "Well, how the hell was I supposed to know what you meant?!"
If he'd had another second, Jonas would've went on a rant about how stupid the pilot was, and that he was going to drop him off on some abandoned planet with no weapons or armor on him. If he had another second. Instead of a wave of insults and threats, the last thing the Stormtrooper heard was the sound of something hitting the ship, followed by a loud, "BOOM!" then his body was enveloped in flames. Jonas wasn't sure what hit the carrier ship or how he ended up unconscience behind the wooden barricade. He opened his eyes, and saw nothing but green and red lasers going in all directions. The sky was so full of Imperial battleships that he could barely see the sun. His whole body was in pain. Jonas wanted to just lay there. He probably would've if a Field Commander hadn't started dragging him behind the wreckage of what was once the carrier ship. The front was on fire, and was being peppered with fire from the turrets, but the back of the carrier was remotely safe. The Field Commander pulled Jonas behind the burning ship.
"You're lucky to be alive, sir. Lieutenant Fib Ersolen reporting for duty. What are you orders?"
Fib was crouched over Jonas. Jonas grabbed his collar, pulled him towards his face, and gave him his order.
"Get me the hell out of here!"
