Chapter 33 - Sensor Station

Dageer was one of the first to recover from the incredible and at the same time depressing sight.

"Keep going! Destroy those clanckers!"

The clones resumed their shooting, but witnessing one of their sh.i.p.s being shot down obviously affected their moral. Seeing this General Di jumped out of his Laat and went to the frontlines, hacking at the droids.

With their commander leading them the clones finally awakened their fighting spirit, and took out the droid outpost. General Di went to Dageer.

"We can't stop now! Don't worry about the cruiser, Obi-Wan is alredy on his way. There is a sensor station that we need to take out. It is the station coordinating all the droid units. Let's move out."

The clones embarked on AT-TEs or went by foot, fighting every step of the way. As a planetary wide invasion, although a small one, there were at least a hundred thousand clones taking part on it. As they fought the losses amounted, but they kept going.

Dageer thought that General Di and Commander Keeli were a sight to behold. They were fighting side by side, the jedi deflecting lasers and cutting through droids and turrets alike, while the clone commander used his two DC-17 pistols to crush the droids.

The barren land slowly turned to snowy hills and mountains as they got closer and closer to the sensor station. Taking the station, however, wasn't going to be an easy feat.

On the rocky walls on which the station was built there were four Particle Cannon Turrets. Those turrets were able to destroy even the AT-TEs the Republic brought.

To make things worse there were only two paths to the sensor station. The first was through the mountain and under the fire of all the droid defenses, and entering through the main gate. The second was a sewer path, on which a couple of droids would be able to hold against a force twenty times their own.

Of course Hell Squad was taking the sewer route. But they wouldn't be alone, as General Di was going with them. They would take a small force of a hundred clones and their mission was to clear a path to the interior of the sensor station. If they were able to do that a major force would then enter after them.

Commander Keeli would be left to command the main force over the main path. They had fifteen AT-TEs and a huge amount of clones, but they would still suffer severe losses if they didn't take the turrets out.

The sewers smelled surprisingly normal, most probably because the droids didn't have an use for them. However, their defenses were quite good. The sewer was only big enough for three clones to pass side by side, and it was full of droid barricades and E-Web turrets.

Dageer was sure that if it wasn't for General Di fighting at the front they could have lost thousands and still not take the sewers. But that wasn't the case. The narrowness of the sewer was actually helping them, as General Di didn't have to worry about side attacks and could deflect almost all lasers.

The clones didn't do almost anything as they went through the sewers. Dageer checked on the situation outside, and it did seemed much rougher.

"Dageer! Tell the general we are making progress, albeit slow. We already lost four AT-TEs to those Particle Cannon Turrets. But we will make it. Those clanckers don't have what it takes to stop us. But it would be good if you could catch the from behind. Keeli out."

Dageer went to General Di and repeated what Commander Keeli said. The jedi flashed him the first smile Dageer ever seen he give and yelled.

"Alright 303! Let's get them!"
