Bat, Chip, and Mute walk around the farm with CT, Firestarter, and Captain Pearce. Slash had taken his post in a small watch tower with his sniper rifle as the militia walked around the perimeter and the herders with Puka watched the grazing animals.

"So, what do you need help with?" Chip asks.

"Hold up." CT say as they stop at the fence.

"Bring 'em in!" Patcher yells and the herders start bringing the animals in and the Felucian farmhands start heading inside.

More armed Balnab militia move out and take several positions at the fences.

"Hold!" Ripper orders them as he walks out with his Westar M5 in hand.

"What's going on?" Bat asks as he grabs his A280 from his back and Chip grabs his.

Firestarter loads his DC-17M and Mute does the same as Patcher drags a weapons crate out and reaches inside, pulling out a rocket launcher. CT loads his crossbow and looks at Bat.

"Hold on." He says and they look out.

The roar of speeders ripped apart the silence and Bat, Chip, and Mute look out as several landspeeders zoom toward the farm.

"I count 5 bikes. 5 other speeders. At least 30 hostiles." Pearce says.

"Hostiles? What?" Chip asks.

The speeders come to a halt in front of the fence and a grey skinned Trandoshan climbs out. He hisses.

"Ahh CT, my friend. Do you have my fuel?" The Trandoshan asks.

"Your fuel?" Chip asks.

"Yes. My fuel." He Trandoshan snaps.

"No I don't have your fuel. I have my fuel." CT tells him.

"You don't want to do this, clone." The Trandoshan hisses as more of the armed lizards start climbing out of their speeders.

"Oh, yes we do." CT says.

Bat scowls at the Trandoshan.

"Fine. If you must be like that. Kill them. All of them!" The Trandoshan roars.

The trandoshans raise their blasters and the Militia and clones raise their's and blaster fire rips through the air. Trandoshans roar as they fall and a few Militia and their mounts are killed. The clones gun several Trandoshans down as they fall back. The grey skinned Trandoshan leader fire a few shots off from his pistol and a stray bolt hits Firestarter in the shoulder.

"Agh!" He yells and clutches his shoulder.

He fires a volley of shots off from his rifle and hits a Trandoshan that steps in front of the leader.

"Fall back!" CT yells as he launches an arrow straight through a Trandoshan's skull.

"Kill them all!" The leader roars and they start climbing the fence.

Ripper takes cover behind a crate in one of the fields and sprays blaster bolts from his Westar M5 and shoots down 4 trandoshans trying to climb the fence and covering the others as they run for cover. Mute stops in the open and shoots down 2 trandoshans. His armor absorbs blaster fire as he's hit by a few stray bolts. Chip shoots a Trandoshan in the chest and he takes cover beside Bat and CT. Several bolts fly overhead and skewer a few trandoshans and they collapse.

"Nice shooting Slash!" Firestarter yells and stands up.

A rocket soars past the defenders and blows 2 speeders apart. The grey Trandoshan stumbles and roars as he feels the heat.
