Battle of Geonosis 4

Jogging towards the front lines of the battle, I had an opportunity to have a good look at both side's armies. Even though I will say that the tactics are stupid, the clone army looks cool as fuck all lined up like that with the AT-TE's and SPHA's scattered around in between them.

Almost makes it seem as if the Jedi commanders know what their doing.

Passing by groups of troopers with and without a jedi leading them, we neared the forefront of the G.A.R's forces. The soldiers already there have began to shoot at the approaching horde of droids. It's still pretty calm as both sides heavy weapons haven't opened fire, but if you listened carefully you could hear the lasers of the heavy artillery heating charging up preparing to tear down the lucrehulk-class battleship before it left the atmosphere.

On the horizon the large spider droids and their smaller dwarf counter parts slowly trudged onwards towards the clone legions. While the hailfire tanks ploughed through all the droids in their way rapidly closing the distance between the armies.

Reaching the vanguard Aayla orders the troops to prepare their blaster rifles. From where we were standing I could hear the clanks of the battle droids menacingly walking towards us. Not going to lie it was quite fucking scary seeing them all, just the sheer amount of them was astonishing.

There was an eerie silence on that battle field as the two battalions closed in on one another. Ringing through the sandy landscapes was the sound of an AT-TE's mass driver canon firing at the separatist army. At this moment all hell broke loose.

All units opened fire, blasting at the other side with everything that they've got. The republics artillery was mowing down platoons of droids with every sweep of their lasers. While the opposing side's tanks began launching guided missiles at targets across the battlefield.

With me and Aayla up front blocking shots from the troopers under our command, they had enough cover to freely fire upon the enemy. Using my saberstaff to deflect red bolts of energy away from the clones, I heard the whistling of a guided missile coming at our position. Aayla watched the guided missile as it drew near, when I was about to do something about it she send a powerful force push ahead. Causing the rocket to explode mid air and several droids closing in on us to become fly back disabled.

The troops seemed to like my masters move as they began cheering as the increased their fire at the B1 platoon that was within firing range. Tearing through the droids, the next thing that approached wasn't as easily gunned down.

An AAT maned by droids swivelled it's turret in our direction, sensing the incoming danger Aayla yells at the clones to scatter. The platoon scurried in all different directions slenderly avoiding the blast from the tanks heavy laser cannon.

Dodging the tanks fire Aayla gestures to follow her as she sped towards the tank. Hot on her tail I quickly catch up to her.

Advancing towards the tank she instructs me "I'll cover you while you take out the droids manning the tank" as she carves through a B1 close to her. Cutting in front of me, she started deflecting the AAT's light blaster fire, giving me the opportunity to leap onto the roof of the tank.

Cutting the head off the droid peaking out the roof of the vehicle, I direct yellow lightning through the hatch. Chaining through the droids inside rendering the enemy tank non-operational. With the troops regathering after that close call, Aayla orders some of the soldiers to commandeer the enemy tank.

With that some of the groups climb into the AAT and get it moving driving to the front of the group to give the rest some well needed cover. As we advanced the clone captain pinged a message back to HQ about the seized tank to make sure the won't have any problems with friendly fire.

Pushing forward with the rest of the vanguards we eventually reached some medium sized rocky terrain that could provide us with some cover. By the time we arrived we had only lost 3 clones out of the platoon from well placed blaster fire. There rest of the non-fatal injuries were swiftly healed by me before they could become a problem for the clone that had them.

Bunkering down at the rocks the clones finally had a semblance of cover and they made the best off it mowing down the droids nearing our position. The soldiers operating the tank had it placed at the side of the rocks blasting squads of droids too bits. The spider droid that was threatening our position was destroyed by LAAT fire from overhead, laser beaming the large droid in two before sending missiles at the separatist core ships that were about to take off.

Through coms the captain was told to focus all fire on the nearest star ship, quickly relaying the information the the boys in the tank they began firing at the colossal core ship as it was taking off.

The SPHA's shredded chunks out off the star ship, making debris fall from the fall onto the battle field. With some ship parts falling on our location me and Aayla used the force to bounce the debris away from the troopers to prevent any injuries.

A resounding explosion came from the Core ship as it's ascent rapidly changed to a descent. The massive spherical ship briskly fell towards the ground, as it was falling Aayla yelled at the troops to brace for the shockwaves.

When the ship hit t he ground it resulted in an epic collision that produced a terrifying rumble along with a wave of dust that spread all across the battle field.

The dust storm made the fighting become even more chaotic, no one could see further than a few tens of meters in front of the causing people and droids to fire more wildly. This made it dangerous as identifying incoming missiles early would be difficult.

With the republic air superiority they mowed down the legions of droids trapped in the dust cloud with little resistance, making sure to take out as much artillery as possible before the cloud cleared up. Which eventually did, as the vision got better I could see that the droid army in this sector was dwindling and it wouldn't be look before they were wiped out.

Continuing to attack from this position the battle raged on for another hour before the main droid force was wiped out. Looking over the battlefield was a depressing experience, although the clones under our command had extremely low casualties. The same couldn't be said about the rest of the commanders.

On the blood stained sand scattered around with the broken droid parts was the fallen bodies of thousands of clone troopers. Pieces of armour and flesh were a common sight and even the modified clones couldn't help but wince at the sight of so many fallen brothers.

I could truly see why so many soldiers were shook after this battle.

Getting a call from HQ to report back to the assembly area for further instructions, we led the platoon back through the destroyed landscape of Geonosis.
