Revisiting Endor Episode 4

Ladies and gentlemen we are back with another exciting episode of Revisiting Endor! One of the most iconic battles of the Galactic Civil War. Last time, we looked at how Shawn Craw and Jared made it off Endor. Now we will go back in time and see what happened to some of the other imperials in the battle.

Derreck's Perspective
Derreck, Chanler, and Katrina move forward as they advance in the Endor forest. We hear numerous reports of attacking imperial forces being overwhelmed by Ewoks or taken out by the Rogue AT-ST. Just as main defenses were preparing to dispatch more AT-STs or even an AT-AT to deal with the rogue one; imperial outposts reported rebel U-wings landing in the area.

The more powerful imperial positions were immediately attacked by rebel strike teams. Cutting them off from the Bunker forces and the strike teams that were busy with Ewoks. Katrina: "Ok, we are about 20 meters, from a nearby imperial outpost." The team crouches and slowly advances as they peak their heads out of the woods. Katrina pulls out her sniper rifle as she scans the area.

The outpost consists of a small bunker and a stormtrooper on a e-web blaster turret in the middle of the bunker. There is one stormtrooper guard left of him behind cover and their is a stormtrooper corpse right of him. The gunner opens fire towards the left flank and blasts a couple rebel commandos. There is another rebel corpse beside them. Everything seems to be clear.

Derreck, Chanler, and Katrina advance to the position. Chanler looks at the stormtrooper on the right flank. Chanler: "Good to see you trooper. We just fought our way out of the woods and lost contact with our initial unit. Status report." Stormtrooper: "We have already lost contact with several small outposts. Imperial command wants outposts to hold position and link up with stragglers. I guess you guys are our stragglers. Not sure what the plan is for the forces at the bunker, everything seems to be a mess there."

Derreck: "All we can do is do our job." Stormtrooper gunner: "Five rebels initially attacked us. We have only taken out three, but another two rebels are still out there." Chanler and Derreck immediately get behind cover. Chanler takes cover on the right flank beside the other stormie and Derreck goes on the left flank. Katrina cannot find any nearby cover, so he decides to go inside of the bunker. When Katrina enters the bunker she notices two imperial engineers on the communications arrays and a imperial lieutenant.

He has pale skin, curly hair, is 6'1, has a goatee, and has brown eyes. Katrina salutes the lieutenant and he salutes her back. Lieutenant: "Lieutenant Joriz. You're name?" Katrina: "Karina Darius. Designation KD-4391" Lieutenant Joriz: "Listening to this comms is depressing, especially since there is nothing we can do about the situation at the bunker."

Katrina: "Well, the troops in there can just lock the doors until friendlies are able to push them back." Lieutenant Joriz: "It's worse than that. The entire garrison around the bunker has been wiped out or pushed back and the bunker has been destroyed." Katrina: "I haven't gotten any notification of that on my comms!"

Lieutenant Joriz sighs, "Apparently there are several rebel commandos that have traveled throughout the area with jamming devices. These jammers are not powerful enough to block the hard wired signals from most bunkers, unless in close range. However, they can disrupt stand comm signals." Katrina: "What is command's plan?" Lieutenant Joriz: "To hold out until the rebel fleet is destroyed and we get air support."

Katrina knows that means that command does not have much of a plan. Katrina: "Is there anything I can do until then?" Lieutenant Joriz: "For now, just stay here. Let's see how many people we can get at this outpost." Meanwhile, Derreck and Chanler are still watching for the other two rebels as they stand guard. The gunner suddenly notices a rebel commando and opens fire. The commando is shot down.

Another commando prepares to take out the gunner but, gets shot by Chanler. Derreck then notices two other rebel commandos. Derreck opens fire and blasts both rebels. Derreck: "Looks like they called for some reinforcements." Chanler notices another rebel commando and the rebel immediately opens fire at Chanler. Chanler takes cover and is pinned down. The stormtrooper beside him blasts the rebel.

Derreck: "All clear." Then I look up and notice the death star explode. Stormtrooper gunner: "Impossible." Chanler: "No way." Katrina suddenly runs out of the bunker as she hears the explosion and looks up in the sky. Stormtrooper: "What now?" Lieutenant Joriz then walks out of the bunker and says: "We have orders to fall back to the main bases in this area. Imperials are going to start evacuating and shuttles will come to pick friendly forces up."

Derreck: "You can bet that more rebels are coming now and that they are going to have even better weapons. It may be better if we wait for a while before we immediately advance." Lieutenant Joriz: "No, it will not. Multiple star destroyers and imperial ships have already began to retreat. We need to get to major evacuation centers to flee as quickly as possible." Chanler: "What, why? We still should have enough ships to hold our own against whatever the rebels can throw at us."

Lieutenant Joriz: "The Death Star just went up in flames. The Emperor and Vader were both probably in it when it did. Plus we lost the Executor before that. I'd say that imperials have lost a lot of morale and are acting frantically." Chanler starts rubbing his stomach and moans: "Oh, God no." Derreck: "Even if we have the means to still win, this battle is already lost. There is no way imperials officers will be able to cope with such circumstances."

Lieutenant Joriz: "The Empire has least for 20 years with a great structure. I'm sure Palpatine had plenty of contingency plans for these sort of things. Do not worry, stand fast. We have a duty to complete. The closest nearby facility is Research Station 9. We need to head there as soon as possible."

Into the Fire
Dereck, Chanler, Katrina, Lieutenant Joriz, another stormtrooper, and two imperial engineers with blaster pistols prepare to advance from the bunker. Before the team leaves, Chanler and Derreck rig the bunker with explosives. Then the team moves out and Chanler detonates the explosives. The bunker explodes.

Chanler: "That will prevent those rebels from getting access to important information." Engineer: "It will slow them down, but they will probably take some of our bunkers." Derreck: "All we can do is our job." As we advance, Katrina suddenly yells: "Incoming contacts!" Lieutenant Joriz: "How many?" Katrina: "Five rebel commandos, three heavy troopers behind them. Plus some Ewoks from the distance."

Joriz: "Worry about the rebels first! Then we'll scorch those little beasts!" There is no clear cover since the team is running through an open area, Chanler yells: "Spread out, if you don't want to be turned to mush!" All of the imperials immediately open fire. Derreck shoots down a rebel commando. Katrina blasts two commandos with her sniper rifle. Chanler takes out the commando sergeant. A Kel Dor rebel opens fire and shots down the other stormtrooper.

Chanler blasts the Kel Dor rebel. Katrina: "Ambush!" Three ewoks charge from the woods on the right and left flanks. On both flanks, there is an Ewok with a spear, stones, and club. Two Ewok gliders also soar from the left and right directions. Joriz opens fire with his blaster pistol and shoots down one of the rebel heavy troopers before he opens fire.

A Quarren rebel heavy trooper immediately opens fire and Derreck immediately dives on the floor narrowly avoiding a series of powerful blaster shots. An imperial engineer immediately opens fire and shoots down the Quarren. Derreck looks back at the engineer in gratitude, but the engineer is quickly hit in the face by a stone and knocked out.

The last heavy trooper shoots at Chanler and Chanler rolls to the left to avoid two rapid blaster shots. Joriz shoots the rebel heavy trooper in the stomach and a second time in the chest. Then an Ewok glider soars over him and drops a stone on his head. A loud snap is heard and the officer falls.

Derreck jumps back on his feet and notices two Ewoks charging towards him. One with a spear, another with a club. One Ewok throws its spear at Derreck, aiming for a black kink. The Ewok misses and hits Derreck's white left shoulder plating. Derreck moan's in pain, then shoots the Ewok down. Then Derreck blasts the Ewok with the club as he charges him.

Chanler turns around and sees an Ewok throw a stone at his head. Chanler ducks and dodges the stone. then shoots the Ewok in it's stomach. Katrina turns right and blasts an Ewok with a spear. Another Ewok with a club charges towards her. Katrina swiftly puts her sniper rifle on her back and switches to her blaster pistol then shoots the Ewok in its chest. A Ewok behind Katrina is about to throw a stone at her, but Derreck shots the Ewok in it's head.

The last Ewok glider drops a stone on the other engineer's head. Katrina switches back to her sniper rifle and shoots the glider down. Chanler looks at Derreck and Katrina then takes a deep breath. Chanler: "I have no idea, how we survived that." Derreck: "Those little devils can fight!"
