"Aghhh!" A Stormtrooper screams as explosions rip up the ground and bodies smack against the surface.

"Look out! Look out!" A Stormtrooper yells to a rookie.

The rookie turns around just as a blaster bolt hits him in the head and he drops. The other trooper reaches out and the commander places his hand on his shoulder. The trooper turns and the commander shakes his head as more explosions rip up the ground around them and more troopers scream in pain.

"We have to go!" The commander yells.

"But the transport!" Another Stormtrooper yells.

"Leave it!" The commander yells.

"But-" the trooper starts.

"Go!" The commander screams as another rocket hits the ground, launching 2 Stormtroopers back.

"Retreat! Retreat!" A Stormtrooper yells before he's cut down by blaster fire.

The commander with his orange pauldron fires a few shots off back at the attackers while the other 4 surviving Stormtroopers run off.

"Come on!" One of the Stormtroopers yells turning around.

The commander turns to start running as a blaster bolt hits him in the back. He drops and the other Stormtroopers keep running. A rebel trooper takes aim when a hand hits his barrel. He looks up at an Iktotchi man who shakes his head.

"Let them go." He tells the trooper.

"Yes Lieutenant." The trooper says.

"Get what we came for and let's go." The Lieutenant says and slings his A280 over his shoulder and watches as his men raid the damaged ITTs carrying food and weapons.

The Lieutenant looks down at his holo communicator that was beeping and he presses the button. A small blue hologram of an older man wearing a camouflage uniform appears and looks up at the Lieutenant.

"Yes General Hot?" The Lieutenant asks.

"Randmu, have you gotten the supplies?" The General referred to as Hot asks.

"Yes sir. We were just about to head back to base." Randmu tells him.

"That's a negative. Major Vaughn and Captain Cadinone just reported from a position half a click to your west in the market. They're pinned down by Imperial reinforcements. Since you and your team are closest to them we want to you go save them." The general says.

"Yes sir. I'll send a few of my men back to base with the supplies and the rest will head toward Major Vaughn and Cadinone's position." Randmu says.

"Good. I'll see you soon." Hot says and the hologram disappears.

"New mission sir?" A soldier asks.

"I want you and 5 others to take the supplies back to base. The rest of you are with me. We're headed toward the marketplace to help out Major Vaughn and Cadinone. Let's move out!" Randmu yells and they start running toward the marketplace.
