In the dim light of dawn, the sunlight hanging over the moon of Bastion cast a solemn glow over the desolate landscape. As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, they illuminated the sprawling encampment of the Bastion First Light Infantry, a formidable army of one million men assembled in disciplined ranks awaiting their new commander.
Moff Victor Narek stood at the forefront of the Imperial shuttle as it descended gracefully from the heavens, his gaze fixed upon the sea of soldiers below. Clad in his resplendent uniform, adorned with the insignias of his rank, he exuded an aura of authority and purpose.
With a soft hum, the shuttle touched down upon the rugged terrain, kicking up clouds of dust as its landing gears settled. As the ramp descended, Moff Narek descended with measured steps, commanding the attention of all who beheld him.
"Attention!" boomed a voice, and in unison, the soldiers snapped to attention, their movements synchronized with military precision. Rows upon rows of helmets gleamed in the morning light, a testament to the discipline instilled within the Bastion First Light Infantry ranks.
Stepping onto the solid ground of the moon's surface, Moff Narek surveyed his new command with a critical eye. Trenches scarred the landscape and dug deep into the earth as defensive fortifications against the unseen enemy lurking beyond. Artillery pieces stood silent vigil along the perimeter, their barrels trained towards the horizon, ready to unleash devastation upon any who dared to challenge the Empire's dominion.
"Soldiers of the Bastion First Light Infantry," declared Moff Narek, his voice resonating with authority, "I am Commander Victor Narek, your new commander. Today marks the beginning of a new era for this unit as we stand on the precipice of greatness."
With a wave of his hand, Moff Narek signalled for his adjutants to approach. Their datapads were filled with tactical schematics and deployment orders. As they conferred in hushed tones, Moff Narek's mind raced with strategic calculations, mapping out the battlefield in his mind's eye.
"Prepare for deployment," he commanded, his voice carrying across the encampment like a clarion call to arms. "Today, we shall show the galaxy the might of the Bastion First Light Infantry. For the Empire!"
With a chorus of affirmations, the soldiers sprang into action, their movements swift and purposeful as they readied themselves for battle. Moff Narek watched with pride and anticipation, knowing that this first deployment would set the tone for his tenure as Commander of the Bastion First Light Infantry.
As the sun climbed higher into the sky, casting long shadows across the moon's surface, Moff Narek stood tall amidst the bustling activity of his troops, his gaze fixed upon the horizon with unwavering determination. The stage was set, and the curtain was about to rise on a new chapter in the annals of Imperial history.
He continued through the ranks of those assembled and made his way into the command bunker enmeshed deep into the heart of the camp. Once inside, he returned the salutes of two men standing at attention by the door and looked around the dimly lit room. Assembled, the officers and aides of the army would be seen, ready to be briefed on the forthcoming mission.
He stood at the head of the long table, surrounded by the Bastion First Light Infantry officers. The air was tense with anticipation as holographic displays flickered to life, illuminating the dimly lit chamber with tactical schematics of the city they were tasked to besiege.
"Gentlemen," began Moff Narek, his voice calm yet commanding, "our objective is clear: to bring the rebel-held city under Imperial control. Intelligence reports indicate that the rebels have fortified their defences and are receiving support from pirate factions with alleged ties to the Hutt cartel."
As murmurs of concern rippled through the room, Moff Narek raised a hand to quell the unrest. "Fear not, for we are more than capable of handling this situation. Now, let us discuss our methods."
Pointing to the holographic display, Moff Narek outlined the layout of the city and the key strategic points that needed to be captured. "Our primary objective is to breach the city's outer defences and establish a foothold within its borders. To achieve this, we shall deploy our artillery units to soften their defences and create a breach in their perimeter."
Turning to his adjutant, Moff Narek issued a series of orders. "I want our bombers on standby, ready to provide air support when the breach is made. Coordinate with the air arm to maintain air superiority over the city at all costs."
The officers nodded in understanding, their expressions grim with determination as they absorbed Moff Narek's directives. "Once we have secured a foothold, we will advance through the city streets, block by block, rooting out the rebel forces and driving them into submission. We aim to seize control of the city centre and establish a command post from which we can coordinate further operations."
Pausing momentarily to allow his words to sink in, Moff Narek surveyed the assembled officers with a steely gaze. "Make no mistake, gentlemen, this will not be an easy battle. The rebels will fight tooth and nail to hold onto their stronghold. But we are the Empire, and victory is our birthright."
With a sense of purpose burning in their hearts, the officers nodded in agreement, ready to carry out Moff Narek's orders with unwavering loyalty. As the holographic displays dimmed and the room fell into a tense silence, the stage was set for the Bastion First Light Infantry to embark on their most crucial mission yet. The siege of the rebel-held city had begun, and Moff Victor Narek would lead his troops to victory or die trying.
OOC - PvE, and open to Imperial Army players - @sam @Zay and anyone else. Trying to see how we can do some more 'dramatic ground battles', so bare with me as I try something new here!
