Jason and his men attack a heavily defended posistion.

0600 hours ,2200, Planet Aoen

Empire Shark Class dropship above the western hemisphere.

Pretty planet , mused sergeant Jason Samuels , If it wasn’t in the middle of a battle

He shifted in his seat, looking out the window of the heavily armoured drop ship. His radio crackled

"Sergeant, two zero minutes till we hit the ground. I want your squad to support the marines west of the rebel base. AA guns are preventing the capital ships from landing so you'll have to do this the hard way." Captain Rogers barked. "Yes sir" Samuels replied.

Looking around the troop bay, he relayed the captain’s orders.

"Sir are you saying we’re on a support mission? I didn’t think we’d travel through half the galaxy just so we can help some grunts that wail for their mommies just when the fighting gets tough."

Private Julio Vega aka Oso the heavy weapons of the sqaud ranted. "Well if you don’t like it you can always talk to capt Roggy up there" The sergeant replied.

"Yeah but we’re shock troopers meant to wreak havoc on enemy frontlines. NOT to help some lowly grunts"

"Well private thats the kind of attitude Admiral Johns had, remember what happen to him?

And that shut the private up.

"Five minutes to ground"

Rebel Defense trenches west of main base.

We're dead. Was the first thing General James Myers thought when he peered out of the bunker. There were hundereds of thousands of empire troops everywhere , the sky was black with flashes of guns, missiles, and exploding aircraft.

He was west of the rebel base preparing to repel the marine legion that was mounting another assault. So far they hadn't done any real damage but that would change soon wouldn't it?

His radio crackled "All soldiers open fire, enemy marines have breached outer defense trenches . DO NOT let them any closer ,I repeat DO NOT let them any closer"

S**t, Myers observed, we're fucked.

Well time to take action can't just sit here and wait to die can I?

He thought.

"Sergeant!! Get those MGs up and firing!!!!!!"

"Roger machine guns opening up"

He then looked through he binoculars and manified everything to maximum and peered through them.
"What the ...."

He squinted, then gasped in horror. Looking at them running at in human speeds machine gun round bouncing of them, there was no doubt.
The empire had brought in shock troopers, the highly trained soldiers were suited in heavy power armour that could withstand a tank round,
and could rip soldiers into half with their bare hands.

Ohh god help us. He thought , but he knew deep inside that god on their side or not, this was going to end badly.

West defenses of rebel main base.

Jason ignored the machine guns, though he had dispatched three of his fifteen men to deal with them, his main concern however was the anti tank guns and tenches that would hinder the way of heavy troops.

Doubling their speed the sqaud raced towards their objective. With his heads-up-display (HUD) Jason picked out several dozen tragets within range. Raising his weapon he took aim and fired.

Now the Shock Trooper Heavy Tactical Armour (STHTA) has a stabilizer that when activated allowed the soldier withing to fire his weapon as accurately as if he was standing no matter how fast he was moving.
This stabilizer is very handy when moving quickly.

Jason's weapon was a AR-52 hostile enviroment assault rifle.
It was scoped, and had a clip of 70 bullets. Has a shotgun attatched under the barrel for close range. Underneath the shotgun barrel was a clip that was compatiable for a 40mm grenade launcher or for a 8 in combat knife. All in all, a very devastating weapon.

He fired in 3 shot bursts, firing several times all of the bursts found their targets. Jumping into a trench he grabbed a soldier and threw him away.
Raising his weapon the emtied the clip. When he was done the entire trench he attacked was littered with dead or dying soldiers.
He heard the thuds of a weapon firing on his back, turning to find several soldiers kneeling or crouching all of them firing their wepons at him.

He launched himself at them, ripping apart the first one and using his hands to smash two them, cracking their skulls the rest tried to retreat but he rasing his weapon fully loaded and firing on full automatic.

The air was filled with screams of dying men courtsy of Jason and his sqaud.

__________________________________________________________

Myers raised his eyes from the binoculars . The entire outer defensive line was ripped to shreds two battalions lost. The enemy legion was now pouring over the breached sections. His men fought bravely but lost heart as soon as they saw a shock trooper.

He sighed, tere was no way to stop them, short of a platoon of tanks, and even then he wasn't sure they could be stopped.
They had ripped through the trenches like a hot knife through butter.
He sighed again , looked towars the dark sky . Well , he thought , I might as well get some sleep. He had a bad feeling about what tomorrows battle will bring.
