"You know Howzer is right Echo." Kix stated.
"Not you to Kix." Echo grumbled.
"Look at it Echo, Rishi provides us an early warning to an attack on Kamino. If we don't know when the enemy is coming then planning other assaults won't do us any good." Kix explained.
"But Rothana would allow us access to ships and tanks." Echo protested.
"The clone rebellion doesn't have the ability to fight that kind of imperial force. They just lost nearly their entire fighting force. What's left is at Rishi establishing a means of alarm for us." Kix continued.
With a sigh Echo knew they were right, he just wish times were simple. These kind of missions were with his old squad, he joined Rex because he wanted to fight for his brothers. The shuttle lurched slightly as the ship exited hyperspace above the planet Sarrish. The planet was a barren world but all the cliffs and giant rock towers made for good hiding spots.
"Clearance code Theta-5-2-9-1-Alpha." Kix said into a comlink.
"Welcome home Shuttle 2-5-1. Your cleared to dock." A voice replied.
"Copy that." Kix replied.
Grabbing the steering yokes he angled the shuttle down towards the planet. Breaking the atmosphere and entering orbit a few clouds blocked their line of sight. After a few more minutes they'd broken the cloud cover and began heading for a thick stack of rock towers and cliffs. Descending into the stacks, multiple clones could be seen perched around the base of the rock stacks. Their armors representing multiple units while others didn't have any.
Touching down in the hidden base, multiple LAATs, AT-TEs, AT-RTs, and many other vehicles could be seen tucked away. Clone engineers, gunners, pilots, and maintenance crews worked on the vehicles. Squads of clones marched around the makeshift hangar as others walked around the outside of a giant set of doors. Approaching the shuttle was a trooper with 501st armor but a orange helmet with a white design on it.
"Seems like Sterling is coming to greet us this time." Echo joked.
"Nemec and Fireball are probably busy." Kix stated.
The two troopers made their way out of the cockpit and towards the lowering ramp. Once the ramp touched down and the troopers stepped off, Sterling walked up and gave a quick salute.
"Welcome back sirs." Sterling said.
"Any news?" Kix asked.
"Imperial activity is picking up in the area." Sterling reported.
"Anything else?" Echo asked.
"We got a report of a group of rogue clone commandos...but we got it to late." Sterling explained.
"What happened?" Kix asked.
"The emperors lap dog Vader killed two members and captured the others." Sterling replied.
"We'll plan a rescue back on Kamino then." Kix stated.
"Kamino?" Sterling asked.
"We made contact with this other clone rebellion." Echo explained. "Rex ordered half of our forces to Kamino."
"Does he want the flagship there or here?" Sterling asked.
"Not sure, let's head to the command center and see if we can contact him." Kix replied as he walked past Sterling.
Sterling and Echo followed as troopers passed them by. Some in 212th armor, others 501st, 41st, and many more. Unfortunately they hasn't been able to rescue any of their ARC trooper or Commando brothers but they still had hope they could be reasoned with. Walking down the hallways they passed a handful of ARF Troopers grabbing gear and double checking their equipment.
