Last time he checked, Clovis died on Scipio after Chief tackled him through a window. Now he's alive? Something was definitely not right. "Gears, access the Separatist database, find out everything about Rush Clovis."

"Sir, yes sir." Moments later the clone technician got back to him with some answers. Turns out he was rescued by some remaining commando droids on Scipio and taken to a redacted lab where he underwent some classified surgeries before spending a few weeks on Raxus Prime to recover. After that, he was given command of a massive battlegroup by Count Dooku and ordered to this sector of the galaxy to cut off Republic supply lines. His record indicates that he leads charges personally, similar to that of Jedi and is a ruthless commander with a vengeance.

Chief didn't have to be a genius to figure out why, he was kind of responsible for Clovis' current position. However, the man made his decision to join the Separatist and that's all Chief had to know. "Give me his current location, we're knocking out a part of the CIS command structure after all today."

"On it sir, just give me a few minutes."

"You got 10, then report back." Chief ordered before stepping out onto the base again to fill the men in. Safe to say the men were excited to start taking some names and doing some real damage to the Separatist command. "Sir, I got something, looks like he is stationed at the landing zone and is directing troops from there."

"Then that's where we are going. June, Jester; take up overwatch positions that look across the entire base. Thermos, go with them, if any air support comes in you take care of it."

"Sir, yes sir."

"The rest of you are with me, once were are inside, we split off and deal with different parts of the base." Chief explained; Fives and Jesse would knock out the communications tower while the rest take care of the tank depot and remaining battle droids. Moving out on their speeders again, Chief relayed the mission plan over to Master Secura. "Just call if you need any help and Bly will come in with gunships."

"Thank you ma'am, but this should be a straight forward operation, 117 out."

Despite being pushed back by Republic forces through the area, the droid ambushed and rapid advances achieved their objective of buying time. Now the landing zone was heavily fortified with a shield generator, numerous machine gun turrets and a large wall that prevented most incoming forces. 

More droid forces had also come in from orbit via another C9979 landing craft, solidifying the CIS presence on the ground. Unfortunately for Blue Team, these reinforcements included around two dozen dwarf spider droids that immediately started blasting away at the oncoming team. "Sir, their covering fire is too much, we'll never make it within a 100 meters of the wall!"

"Agreed, make for the ditch. We'll regroup and push up from there. The sniper team still needs to get into position so we'll wait it out while they do that."

"Copy that Chief, adjusting course." Fives called over the comm before shifting his speeder towards a large ditch that had previously been used as an irrigation ditch for the now torched farm. Jumping out of their speeders and taking cover, it wasn't even a minute before their transports were blown up by the incoming fire.

"Static, radio Commander Bly. Tell him that we need reinforcements and AT-TE support." Chief ordered, causing the radio trooper to jump into action, quickly calling the main GAR force on the planet. It wasn't long before the 327th commander replied, stating that they're 10 minutes out. Relaying the message, Static continued to co-ordinate between the already engaged forces and the incoming support.
