HOTH
Small chatter was common though a majority of the ride was completed in silence as every man separated from the life they adored were reminiscing of thoughts of when it was a simpler time, perhaps that farm on tatooine doesn't seem so bad after all. "You boys get through your new IDs?" He questioned his soldiers; this mission to Hoth involved a potential encounter with the Deucalian raiders and given the history of the two factions, it was imperative that no one knew they were of imperial allegiance.
They were an independent expeditionary force from Serenno, searching for an artifact. That was their bluff, and hopefully they would be able to fill the remaining gaps when necessary. As the airship glided over the frozen mesas, the men quickly prepared their gear. Usual ebony armors were replaced with white medium duraplast bodies, the archaic ancestor of snowtrooper wear. Easily camouflaged within the tundra of Hoth, these would help conceal their presence as much as possible. The weapons were different than usual deployments, preferring blaster carbines and snipers made from generic companies, they bore no insignia or connection to the Empire.
With parachutes engaged, the six men leaped from the flying ship, engaging their apparatus as they all descended and came to crawling halts upon the unwelcoming ice terrain. From here, it would be a long journey into the Morrsh Moraine glacier system. Two snipers in the group moved in the rear, while the lieutenant with his carbine in hand led his group out in front. Heavy winds and snowstorms would make their journey encumbered, though with persistence and conviction, they stayed true to their course.
