The skies of Talus, clouded with smoke from the ongoing fires. The ground, black and covered with ash and sand. The suns no longer visible. I am on my knees with my surviving men, surrounded by the enemy. The sound of guns being reloaded, ready to fire. Our 3 battalions vanquished, we never thought the Separatists would set up this kind of a defensive. One of my men, CC-5673 or Hammer, laying half dead reached for his gun and whispered "If we die... we will die fighting". I put my hand over his and replied "Enough killing, let us fall peacefully, it is done". As my men loose all hope and take what they think will be their finale breath, I sense a large presence, division sized. I hear the sound of a hurling engine above, I look up and I see a silhouette descending. I look at Hammer, he takes off his helmet and he yells "Reinforcements!"
