Location : Torina System, VSD-I Adamant, Briefing Room X001
Sergeant Destavol Gin and the several different Detachment Leader's of Hornet Platoon 2, the 2nd Sub-Unit which built up Hornet Company, were all in slight chatter getting to know one another. Finally satisfied he had waited long enough the Platoon Commander cleared his throat loud enough for everyone to hear, which brought the room to a dead silence. He smiled slightly and stood. "Gentlemen before we begin I would like to formerly introduce everyone as today is the first time in some time that the entire 2nd Platoon has been reorganized and completely refilled in the ranks. To begin with I shall introduce myself. I am Sergeant Destavol Gin, I have proudly and honorably served here in the Galactic Empire for nearly 10 years. I moved to this fleet nearly five years ago, served for two then retired and have recently returned back to service as Hornet Company's 2nd Platoon Commander. I have commanded several units in battle, and I am keen to select my leaders based on performance not rank or time, hence why a majority of you are new to this unit. We will begin by going over our new structure and introductions of their leaders." started Destavol, who paused to take a sip of the water sitting on the desk in front of him. After setting the glass back down he glanced over to a man he knew all to well. "To begin with I would like to introduce you all to my brother, Corporal Mavon Gin who shall be taking command of Alpha Detachment, a 12 man Stormtrooper Infantry Detachment. Next shall be Sergeant Frank Murko who shall be taking command of Bravo Detachment, a 12 man Stormtrooper Infantry Detachment. Next is Corporal Frank Liloth, who shall be taking command of Charlie Detachment, a 12 man Stormtrooper Infantry Detachment. These three men have beyond excellent service records within the Empire and I know their services will be invaluable here in Hornet 2nd Platoon." stated Destavol, giving the three men a moment to smile and nod to the other men at the table. This did not last long as Destavol quickly moved forward with the meeting. "Moving on to our more specialized Detachments I would like to introduce first Lance Corporal Jerrod Jujui who shall be taking command of Delta Detachment, a 10 man Advanced Stormtrooper Infantry Detachment. Next shall be Sergeant Shawn Rivers, who shall be taking command of our platoon's 6 man Stormtrooper Sharpshooter Detachment. Both of these men have spent considerable time working in Imperial special forces and I extend my personal gratitude to them for coming over to Hornet 2nd Platoon to help lead our fine Stormtroopers in their special operations. Next I would like to introduce Corporal Walter Jacobs who shall be taking command of our 12 man Stormtrooper Scout Detachment, from there I'd also like to introduce Staff Sergeant Harald McJagger who shall be taking command of our 12 man Heavy Stormtrooper - Heavy Weapons Detachment. Both men have years of experience in their fields and will prove to be great assets to our team. Now last but certainly not least I would like to introduce a gentleman officer I've known for some time, Sergeant First Class Travis Morbis who shall be commanding our 4 man Stormtrooper Police Detachment. While his numbers may be small, I assure you his men that he has personally selected are beyond that of the typical MP beat cops we see walking around in the Imperial Security Bureau." finished Destavol, taking his seat and drinking more of his water and allowing the Detachment Leaders to get to mingle a while longer.
After several minuets the Platoon Commander cleared his throat again, and once again silence fell across the meeting room. He smiled and stood once more. "Now, all of you are most likely already aware we are in the Torina System, and for those of you who have been here before know that the New Republic has several strong holds here. Well it is my pleasure to announce that General Antilles has given Hornet Company, specifically 2nd Platoon, the honor of recapturing the Continent Daovara on the planet Torina. This is only step one in an operation which shall include the entire Hornet Company, however we have the honor of spear heading the attack. Currently we are in waiting for the arrival of Lieutenant Davin Felth, our Company Commander, aboard the VSD-I Aggressor along with Sergeant Reem and the Hornet Company's 1st Platoon. We will of course be assisted by several AUX companies in this assault, but Hornet Platoon 2 shall be the first in and last out. We will have several targets once we reach Daovara, such as Tissia City and Monochani Base but there shall be other targets as our operation moves forward. For the time being gentlemen I want you to get your men battle prepped and once Lieutenant Felth and Sergeant Reem arrive we shall hold one final meeting here before the assault is carried out. Dismissed.." stated Destavol after giving his brief introduction and meeting with his Detachment Commanders. No questions were asked, and the different men hurried to their stations to meet with their men and prepare them for battle. Once all were gone Destavol locked the door and opened a private transmission to the VSD-I Aggressor.
Destavol stood at a saluting posture as a life size hologram of Lieutenant Felth appeared before him. "Sir, I have given the initial briefing to 2nd Platoon. We are awaiting your arrival to the Torina System so that we made hold the final briefing and commence Operation Fade to Black." stated Destavol, awaiting his Company Commanders response..

(Special Note : Lieutenant Felth I have awaited your reply for some time. I apologize for moving forward and use of your character. I will make it brief and non combative as not to jeopardize your character in anyway, but I would like to move this along. Of course the next post is yours if you would like, sir.)
Lieutenant Felth returned the salute and stated "At ease Sergeant." which Destavol graciously took his seat. Felth's hologram moved and took a seat across the table from Destavol. "Sergeant, the Aggressor has been held up. We are having engine problems, thus we shall be unable to meet you on our expected schedule. However to compensate for time lost during the repairs, I have requested that additional soldiers from the Army Reserve units be placed under your command to assist 2nd Platoon in their part on Operation Fade to Black. The General has kindly granted the request and your support shall be arriving in three hours. They shall be aboard the FRG Dixie, and will land immediately upon arrival to the Torina System, and the planet Torina. They shall land eight clicks outside of Tissia City which your unit should already have assaulted and be some what near completion of securing the area. Intelligence has reported that most of the resistance in Tissia are lesser trained Rebels more than the better trained New Republic soldiers that we will eventually face. Once your men have secured the city I want you to ensure that 2nd Platoon and 185th Platoon, your support, remain in Tissia City as there will more than likely be a counter strike from the New Republic to recapture it. Is this understood Sergeant?" stated and asked the Lieutenant.
Sergeant Gin nodded and smiled. "Of course Lieutenant, we shall secure the city hopefully before our reinforcements arrive thus they can be fresh and ready to provide full security while 2nd Platoon tends to any wounded or casualties. I doubt there shall be many, if any at all sir, if our intelligence reports are accurate about the rebel scum. As I have stated, our Detachment Leaders are preparing their soldiers now and we shall be departing for battle in less than thirty minuets sir." replied Destavol. This brought pleasure to the ears of Lieutenant Felth. "Very good Sergeant, I am counting on you to bring us victory with honor and strike fear into the hearts of these terrorist. Also Sergeant, in addition to these troops, I am having additional supplies brought to the Aggressor when the new engine arrives. These supplies are to include ammunition, medical, weapons, armor, and I have even put in for use of eight AT-ST vehicles. All of this will arrive when we do Sergeant, so just hold out until then and all shall be fine and well in Tissia City. Upon the arrival of the remainder of Hornet Company I shall brief yourself and Sergeant Reem on our next movement towards victory on Torina. Good hunting Sergeant.." replied Lieutenant Felth, who saluted. Upon the return salute the hologram fizzled out and Destavol stood and stretched. It was now time to depart for war, and for glory.
Location : Torina System, Planet Torina, Daovara Continent, 10 miles west of Tissia City.
Sergeant Gin along with the rest of Hornet 2nd Platoon were now planet side on Torina, approximately 10 miles away from their target - Tissia City. The platoon had spread out into its several detachments to make the wave seem larger, and to keep them from crowding together. They were a platoon, not a mob. Destavol marched his soldiers across the valley outside of the city. Shockingly it brought shame upon him that he would have to spill blood in such a beautiful place, but he new the onslaught would begin before they even reached the city, it always did. Sure enough upon reaching 8 miles from Tissia City he received the word from Gamma Detachment that they had contact. The sound of blasters ringing out everywhere, and the heavy cannons on the mobile vehicles they were in were almost blocking Corporal Jacobs's words. Destavol halted his Platoon and replied. "Gamma 1, this is 2 Actual. I want you to pullback and regroup with us. I don't need those vehicles jeopardized this early in the operation. Lead them back to us and when they get here we will have a treat for them!" ordered the Sergeant. Jacobs sounded off over the ComLink built into Destavol's helmet. "Sir yes sir! Reporting at once Sergeant!"
Destavol then channeled over to Echo Detachment. "Echo 1 I want you and your shooters to take up positions stretched approximately one half mile width and provide sniper support. Climb trees, dig in, I don't care what you do just ensure you are in a secure and secluded location. Halt here and we will travel forward. Once you see us commence fire, you have free fire orders. I'm counting on you and your boys not to hit us Echo 1." The voice of Sergeant Rivers came over his helmet in laughter. "Give us more credit than that sir! Yes sir, Echo Detachment halting and spreading out to assume shooting positions. We have your back 2 Actual." With that said the handful of sharpshooters halted then started to spread out to cover a distance of one half mile across the field. There were not to many high locations to choose from, but there were several pockets for the snipers to dig into and take cover from enemy fire. The remainder of 2nd Platoon continued forward, but spreading a little further out to have the advantage in packaging the enemy. This tactic is simply surrounding a small or even greater number than your own and closing in on them with suppressive sniper support and aggressive and defensive infantry support. Upon reaching 6.5 miles the cavalry had already returned and the enemy was now present. Destavol used his electrobinoculars to zoom in and estimate the enemy's numbers. From his count they seemed to reach near 80-100 but as intelligence had reported they seemed to be nothing more than civilians with weapons. Their posture, line structure, and failure of realization they were stepping into a death pit gave it all away to the experience Sergeant. He grinned under his helmet and thought to himself if it would be to early to report victory to the Lieutenant.
As the enemy closed in shooting wildly at 2nd Platoon, missing with all shots due to the distance and them not knowing much about shooting and moving, Destavol halted his platoon and moved the detachments as he needed them positioned. When the enemy got close enough to cause damage he made his move. "Gamma, sweep the masses and light them up with the RR780 Cannons. That should teach them a little respect. Alpha, Bravo, after Gamma makes it's sweep you shall move in and clean up the remainders. Echo upon Alpha and Bravo's engagement you have permission to assist in the engagement. Make it happen Hornet 2! GO GO GO!!!" Within seconds of his orders Gamma Detachment swept in front of the enemy lines and began spraying the masses with orange bolts of energy cast in the thousands a minuet by each of the RR780 cannons mounted on each of the lite tanks. Within one to two minuets Gamma had completed its sweep and dropped nearly 40 enemies. Without hesitation Alpha and Bravo detachments then moved forward and opened fire. The remainder of the rebels began to drop like flies, some even dropped their weapons and began to run. Destavol hated cowards as such. "Echo, there are no retreats from this battle. Take out those cowards now!" ordered the Sergeant. "With pleasure sir!" replied Sergeant Rivers. Sergeant Gin once again raised his binoculars to his helmet and watched as the retreating cowards dropped with burning holes in the back of their heads. In no time Alpha and Bravo detachment's had eradicated the enemy. "Excellent work 2nd Platoon. A fine display of the Empire's superior authority and a fine victory. But it is just the start, we now move to Tissia. However I want perfection without casualties and as little injury as possible. Gamma you shall break down into three squads. I want one squad with Alpha Detachment, one with Bravo Detachment, and one with Zeta Detachment. Provide support for them as they storm the city. Echo 1 I understand it will take a few, but regroup your men and I want you to find positions in the city to provide sniper support for our boys on the ground. Delta 1, you shall escort our shooters to the city and defend them the best as possible as they make their way to a safe and secure shooting location. Charlie and Zulu, you are with me. We shall move in behind and clean up. All forces, reload and rearm as needed and lets move it! We have a city to capture and I want it done by sundown today!! GO GO GO!!!" ordered Destavol. The Sergeant was no rookie. He had commanded battles for years now, and in his own mind this was no battle - it was a massacre for the enemy. He hated to have to put such effort into eliminating non trained terrorist such as the rebels they were fighting, but he also knew there could be the well trained and aggressive New Republic soldiers awaiting them in Tissia. He himself had been on the other end of massacres several times before and it was often left up to him to take his men and ensure they lived, and once or twice he was the only one to make it home alive - and that was by the grace of the force. Regardless of life or death, the New Republic's hold over Tissia City would fall today, then their hold over Daovara would fall soon after. Then it would be their hold over the entire planet Torina. City by city, continent by continent. It mattered not to the soldiers of the Empire, they would drive the scum of the galaxy out and ensure peace and order throughout the galaxy.
Destavol watched as his Platoon double timed towards Tissia. They were some of the bravest men he had every served with. No fear of what laid ahead, but ever ready to combat it. He could only wish the rest of the Company were here as it would take only a matter of an hour or two to completely and effectively wipe clean the city of Tissia. Reinforcements would arrive soon enough. He was not so sure about the credibility of the 185th Reserve Platoon, but he had faith in Lieutenant Felth's decisions. The Lieutenant had been in his shoes before, and knew what he was soon to be facing. The actual capture of the city would not be that hard. It would be controlling it that presented the challenge. Once the rest of Hornet Company arrived however it would be a cake walk to hold Tissia, and from there they could contact Lieutenant General Antilles for deployment of other units from the Army so that Hornet Company could hand Tissia over and move forward to whatever their next target could be..
Lieutenant Felth returned the salute and stated "At ease Sergeant." which Destavol graciously took his seat. Felth's hologram moved and took a seat across the table from Destavol. "Sergeant, the Aggressor has been held up. We are having engine problems, thus we shall be unable to meet you on our expected schedule.

Sergeant Gin had finally arrived close enough to assemble his forces for the assault on Tissia City and was only awaiting nightfall to give his forces the advantage of using the night vision and thermal lenses in their helmets. He stood patiently as the sun dropped and clouds began to form in the sky above. The moon above Torina was only a crescent moon which would give them the major advantage of the enemy being vastly blinded in this assault. However before the Sergeant could begin the operation he noticed his Holo-Com began to vibrate. He removed it from his utility belt and tossed it to the ground. An image of the 2nd Brigade Commander emerged bringing Sergeant Gin to a salute. Lieutenant Colonel Fewrfreyut returned the salute and smiled. "Sergeant, quite a magnificent job you have been doing thus far. Lieutenant Felth has already informed me of your current situation and thus we have already had Hornet First Platoon depart to Torina to meet you on the planet. They should be there any time now Sergeant." stated the seasoned leader. Sergeant Gin nodded. "That is excellent news sir, this means that Tissia City shall fall in no time once they arrive." replied Destavol who was now more relaxed that previously. "Yes, well one final thing Sergeant. Considering your credentials and previous commands, and your current display of courage, honor and dedication to Imperial cause I have decided to extend to honor of placing you as the Acting Officer in Charge. Which means from here on until either I arrive there, or until the duration of the assault is over you shall be the Acting 2nd Brigade Commander in my absence of the battle, think you can handle that Sergeant?" said and asked Lieutenant Colonel Fewrfreyut.
Shocked at the least Destavol was speechless for the time being but grasped himself and saluted once more. "Sir it would be an honor to command 2nd Brigade in this battle. I assure you that our forces shall succeed here and that I shall bring glory, honor, and victory to our Empire"! replied the now excited Sergeant. Lieutenant Colonel Fewrfreyut smiled but then turned to a serious tone. "Sergeant, this is a test of your abilities, loyalty and capability as a leader. Succeed here and great things will come of you from here forward. Fail and I'll have your head on my wall, do you understand?" replied Lieutenant Colonel Fewrfreyut. Destavol had commanded units much larger than a Brigade before so he was quite confident he could do the job. "Sir yes sir! 2nd Brigade shall not fail! Sir, with all do respect I must relieve this communication. We have a city to take." replied Sergeant Gin, now the Active Brigade Commander of 2nd Brigade for this operation. "Understood Sergeant, but I must order than you await for 1st Platoon to arrive. Once Sergeant Reem and his forces have arrived you are both to recalculate your decision to assault, then you have full permission to commence. Be sure to still send me reports on your success Sergeant. Also your orders shall be coming directly from Lieutenant General Antillies, so I suggest you obey and succeed, but keep my Brigade in one piece Sergeant." With this said both men saluted and the transmission ended. Now it was just a matter of keeping Tissia surrounded, eliminating any forces that tried to exit the city and await Sergeant Reem's First Platoon..
