Imperial Troops Increase Presence Over Jedha

Reports are coming in to Yavin Command that the Galactic Empire has been diverting massive amounts of resources to the planet Jedha over the past few years. This has only been recently discovered as embedded Rebel agents began arriving on world following the rumors. The world, according to Rebel Reports, has been completely subjugated by the Empire and a Naval Detachment of 12 Imperial-1 Star Destroyers.

Yavin Command is currently investigating and has had all Rebellion agents maintain a 'wait and see' attitude for the time being.

Imperial Forces Score Major Victory Over Cianap!

Imperial Holonet News Organizations are reporting a major Imperial victory over the planet Cianap! Terrorists apart of the "Alliance to Restore the Rebellion" were captured off-guard as a fleet of Six Imperial-Class Star Destroyers and other supporting craft apart of the 12th Imperial Defense Fleet ambushed a formation of Rebel ships.

More and more across the Galaxy, this "Rebel Alliance" is causing more chaos for good, law-abiding Imperial Citizens. Even after the Rebel forces were sent into a quick rout it was reported that Rebel reprisals led by the wanted criminal and terrorist Saw Gerrera executed 73 Imperial Scientists and Engineers on Thyfera.

Do you want to do your part to fight the evil of the Rebellion? Consider enlisting in the Armed Forces, or work with the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, and work to keep these dissidents in line! They may be living among you!

Wookiees Across the Galaxy Celebrate Life Day!

Wookiee Ex-pats across the galaxy took time this past weekend to celebrate the joy of Life Day. The holiday has spread in popularity in recent years as Wookiees spread across the galaxy, following the enslavement of their species by the Galactic Empire and Trandoshan Slavers. The holiday celebrates the Wookiee journey to the Tree of Life, and involves dancing, music, and feasts.

Following the rise of the Empire and increased Trandoshan aggression, the holiday quickly exploded in popularity as many across the galaxy use it as a way to push back against the "Time of Darkness" they now live in.

Even now, some Imperials celebrate Life Day on Mimban as a reminder of what they look forward to following surviving the hellish, muddy world.

Mandalorian Forces Raid Namzor!

Broadcast on all underworld channels.

Mandalorian Forces under the terrorist Vasili Bev'miir have raided the Imperial Coaxium Refinery on Namzor. The Mandalorian terrorists part of the group known as "The Organization" have carried out a number of raids on Imperial and Hutt targets in the Outer Rim. The attack on Namzor, three days ago, marks an escalation of the conflict as these Mandalorians have raided a Mid-Rim World.

Imperial sources refuse to acknowledge the attack, but word on the underworld is that around two-hundred and seventy five Imperials were killed or captured, along side three Arquitens-Class Light Cruiser. Supposedly, the Mandalorians made off with 30,000,000 credits worth of Coaxium, better known as hyperfuel.

Mandalorian Uprising on Ordo

News would come out, though Imperial sources would attempt to suppress it as much as possible, of a Mandalorian uprising starting on the small steppe world of Ordo.

From what information has got out despite the attempted blackout, it seems that a Mandalorian known simply as 'Bev'miir' has been rallying and unifying the dis-unified steppe nomads. Only two days prior, an Imperial outpost was torched to the ground. Along with that, around twenty-five Mandalorian collaborators who had been assisting the occupation force were executed in the outpost. Though most of their armor was taken, helmets were left, strung up on one of the bombed out buildings with a single word written across their helmets in blood. "Aruetii"

Imperial Forces have been quick to reinforce the occupied world with another three hundred soldiers, stripping most of the Dxun Garrison to nothing. The local Sector Moff has, supposedly, been heard saying he doesn't want to force the hand of other Sector Moffs to try and come into his territory, and wants to have a quick end to this uprising.

Imperial forces under Admiral Paxton have been redeployed to the Ordo System to help put down this insurrection.

Fallen Duchess Murdered?

The HoloNet News (HNN) has, after a needed verification period, been able to confirm that Fallen Mandalorian Duchess, and known Terrorist, Bo-Katan Kryze has been mercilessly executed by other Mandalorian forces as a battle for domination of the tribal and savage Mandalorian Society continues.

HoloNet News first began looking into the story when underworld broadcasts began airing the video of security footage and camera footage taken aboard a Mandalorian vessel where a purple armored Mandalorian, whose identity is still unknown, was seen executing the Terrorist Bo-Katan.

The Ministry for Information has reached out to the Imperial Security Bureau for a comment and have only received the following: "We can confirm the terrorist Bo-Katan has been killed and we shall continue investigating the events that led up to it."

Sector Moff, Moff Gideon, did not leave a comment when requested, and his office only stated the following: "We are concerned about the rise of violence within the Mandalore Sector and will do everything within our power and authority to continue keeping the citizens of Mandalore safe from the violent and extreme terrorists known as the Death Watch and Mandalorian Protectors"

All copies of this list should not leave Imperial Army Datapads, anyone caught sending this list off world will be subject to Imperial Intelligence Interviews and potential reassignment to front line duty.

The list is 32,000 names in total with the following markings:

*Killed in Combat

** Wounded in Combat

*** Missing in Action

Some names like Captain Richard Anderson (KIA three days prior to the list being published) would be recognized, the rest are a constant stream of names of sons, and daughters, fathers and mothers who perished in the line of duty for the Galactic Empire.

Rebel Terrorists Raid Bandomeer!

On a hot, windy day in the streets of Bando blasterfire quickly lit up the small mining town some ninety-five kilometers from the capital of Bandor. Rebel insurgents, dressed in rags and scattered pieces of armor attacked Imperial supply convoys bringing Ionite from the town, and providing it with vital food supplies. The attack itself saw the destruction of five armored vehicles, destroyed multiple tons of Ionite, and destroying two weeks worth of food supplies!

However, quick Imperial redeployment of air and ground assets saw the Rebels driven off, thirty-seven were killed with another twelve captured and quickly sentenced to rebuild the community they attempted to destroy. This is another fatal reminder that the Rebellion, better known as terrorists, care not for their dreams of the Republic, but instead to strike terror into the hearts of loyal Imperial civilians.

Already, the Sector Moff has assigned the 37th Imperial Infantry Division to help with the rebuilding and has ordered that all rebels captured be put to work rebuilding the land they hoped to destroy.

Admiral Paxton Appointed Sector Governor of the Ordo System

To deal with mounting unrest and rebellion on the world of Ordo, the Moff of Mandalorian Space has instructed Admiral Paxton, a Clone Wars hero, to put down the rebellion on the world. Along with most of the Dxun Garrison being stripped and sent to Ordo, Paxton was given three Arquiten Class Light Cruisers to assist in the task and has confirmed that he will carry out the task given, no matter the strength of the resistance, or the size of his force.

Admiral Paxton was a Clone Wars hero, who led Republic Forces during the Siege of Istic II and captured the planet despite overwhelming Confederate Forces on the planet, trying to hold onto vital mineral deposits. He was seen as a ruthless admiral, and an inquiry into his performance by a Senatorial Committee days prior to the Declaration of the New Order found he had ordered the execution of over ten thousand captured confederate mercenaries and non-droid personnel.

Following the Declaration, any senatorial action against the Admiral was ceased and he was given a post in the outer rim.

Session 1 - Notes / Quick Summary (Part 1)

The following are my own notes from Session 1, this is part 1 of the notes and part 2 will come soon after.

Our players were introduced to Mimban, a war-torn muddy and wet world, plagued by war for over 20 years now. The players - a motley bunch assembled from across the galaxy were brought in with a few hundred other Imperial Army conscripts, making up the next wave in a war that has no end in sight. They first met Captain Anderson, an older man who's been in the Imperial Army too long to count. He was grim with the new prospects, telling them about the horrors of Mimban.

After a very quick briefing, he introduced Kairris, a diplomat with the Imperial Diplomatic Corps (IDC). She was joined by her aide Vlaari, a Lorridan Human, and their security droid K2K9, a KX-Series Droid. After introducing herself, she informs the arrayed soldiers that she is here on a mission and needs some extra soldiers. After looking over a few soldiers she picks out a few grunts, a Mandalorian named Paul, another Mandalorian - this one a medic - named Tarre, an older veteran sniper that had volunteered for duty on Mimban named Haro. Before departing for the Imperial bunker complex to be briefed on the mission the Captain also informed them he had orders for a Private Abel Hardy to join them. Abel was a young man, mid to late 20s, and nervous as all can be.

The party departed for the bunker, finding that while the base was staffed solely by the Imperial Army, the bunker was held down by the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. The party moved off to an empty room to begin their briefing. Kairris has been sent by the Imperial Diplomatic Corps to meet with representatives of the Mimbanese Liberation Army to broker secret peace talks. The assembled group will be escorting Kairris, and her aide Vlaari, to the location for the peace talks. With no questions, the party sets off for the frontline. Their initial way to travel is MagLev, but Imperial Reports come in that the Lev was attacked and is delayed, forced to go by speeder the group takes a rickety old piece of kit that should have been decommissioned a decade ago.

K2K9, their KX-Series Droid and bodyguard to Kairris, attempted to work up the speeder, but was unsuccessful, the speeder that slowly came to life wasn’t improved or any different. With K2K9 driving, the party left the safety of the Imperial Compound and very quickly entered the true Mimban, a planet covered by long trench lines, fox holes, and mud. Out of the safety of the Imperial base, the sounds of a constant stream of battle could be heard. Even a hundred or two miles out, they could hear the shelling of artillery that filled the distant air.

A NEW STORY

As the story of the Star Skipper is retired, a new group take their places on the galactic stage.

When: 1 BBY Start Date

Where: Bokoen's Twitch Channel

Session 1 - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1934156806

Session 2 - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1945064563

Players: (Player Name - Player Character/Description)

Braun - Kairris is a Mirialan Diplomat. Formerly a senator, she's now joined the Imperial Diplomatic Corps where she's been assigned to Mimban for a last ditch attempt by the Imperial Senate to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict that now is past its 20th year.

Vik - Vaalri is a Lorrdian Human. Vaalri is an enigma and a friend to Kairris where she works with her as her aide and chief confidant.

Jack - The lower levels of Coruscant don't exactly breed uptight, morally righteous citizens of the Empire. Kane Largo is one such individual. Brought into the smuggling game early in life, Kane found himself enlisting with the Empire following a job gone wrong on Tatooine.

Bokoen - A Mandalorian by birth, not much has been revealed by Paul Boehm on his past, his present, or how he arrived on Mimban. All he's revealed and all that is known is that the man is a soldier by trade, and he's one who's expanding his craft on the muddy world.

Schafer - An old grizzled veteran of many wars since the Declaration for the New Order, the sniper is one who had actually volunteered for duty on Mimban. Now selected by Kairris, Haro Thif has work to do protecting these younger folks while harboring some dark secrets of his own.

Swimmy - Reprogrammed, rewired, and still partially malfunctioning. The KX-Series Droid K2K9 is the personally assigned bodyguard to Kairris on her mission on the hostile world.

Kass - Another Mandalorian, Tarre Hokan is a medic, and an experienced one at that. Selected by Kairris for her secret IDC mission. The Mandalorian has a lot to prove in his new group as he figures out his place in a galaxy increasingly hostile to his people.

Rebel Attack on Ando Prime!

Following simultaneous terrorist attacks on Imperial outposts, power stations and hydroponic centers on the mid-rim world of Ando Prime, Moff Reuce Darbin has ordered an Imperial Expeditionary Force led by the Chiss Admiral Ar’alani to restore order to the planet.

Terrorist attacks, days before, struck food production facilities, power stations and Imperial garrisons. The Galactic Empire has also released footage of terrorist troops rounding up loyal stormtroopers and summarily executing them without trial or even sending them to prisoner of war camps. 

In response to this, Moff Darbin, in charge of this portion of the mid and outer rim has sent an expeditionary force of three-victory class star destroyers, escorted by quasar class carriers to reinforce the Imperial presence on the world.

Why have rebels struck now? Only recently Imperial forces have discovered deposits of coaxium, hyperspace fuel, under the crust the planet and has reinforced their light garrisons with refining facilities and extra security forces.

Okay okay okay I can’t believe I found this FINALLY a reference for a GAR Battalion Aid Station! It looks like it’s organized almost exactly like a real one! Just for some additional knowledge, the responsibilities of an Aid Station include:

Conducting Triage

Treating casualties to minimize mortality, prevent further injury, and stabilize for evacuation

Recording all casualties received and treated, and report them to the appropriate unit section for preparation of casualty reports.

Providing temporary shelter in conjunction with emergency treatment.

Transferring evacuees from the BAS to evacuation transportation.

Initiate treatment of combat stress casualties.

Providing personnel replacement and medical re-supply for medics

The BAS can be broken down into five internal sections, which operate as a whole:

Internal Security - provides perimeter security for the immediate BAS area, searches patients for weapons, munitions, and traps prior to being admitted to the triage area. Weapons are never allowed in treatment areas

Triage - sorts and records all incoming patients prior to entry into treatment area. Limited emergency first aid and fluid replacement may be provided here while patients are waiting to enter treatment area. Initiate and/or continue patient documentation of treatment provided in this area. Also provides comfort/ease of pain to the dying.

Treatment Area - usually done in tents or prefab shelters (like here!), but could be any secure area assigned by the Battalion Surgeon to treat patients. It’s where all the life saving treatment/procedures are performed as directed by the Medical Officer or Senior Medical Department Representative.

Evacuation Area - staging area for patients awaiting evacuation, those requiring continued monitoring or continued care. It is also the area where casualty reporting and casualty evacuation requests are made.

Expectant Area - area used to hold personnel with very serious injuries who are not expected to survive. Supportive medical care is provided, i.e. pain medications, and ministry and sacrament for the dying are provided appropriate for the casualties’ faith group. Maybe Jedi healers help ease troopers passing?
