LOCATION: Planet Mandalore, West Training Grounds
CLASS: Basic Small Arms Refresher
INSTRUCTOR: Ruus'alore Damri Atin'al
PREPARATORY BRIEFING:OOC Thread Here. The order in which everyone makes their first post will determine the posting order for the rest of the exercise. I'll allow a little out of order posting, so long as it enhances your training experience. I'd like to see a lot of detail! This thread is intended to improve your fighting knowledge and writing skills both, so if you have any question, please ask! Be safe guys ;)
Damri Atin'al pulled back the charging handle on the slug thrower carbine, ensuring the chamber was empty before locking it to the rear and placing it on the table in front of him. He repeated this operation with another, longer slug thrower rifle. The blaster rifles came next. Damri hefted his Traycn'buurenaar repeater, ensuring that the gas cartridge was removed and the residual charge expelled. The soldier twisted the retaining bolts along the top rail and removed the custom optics, double checking the power controls to make sure it was off before returning it to it's protective casing in his equipment bag. Energy cells, magazines full of heavy slug thrower rounds, and Tibanna gas cartridges were stacked neatly next to each weapon. Damri double checked each weapons safety. Morut'yc.
The Mando'ade turned to survey the range, and to ensure that his sqaud, who would be playing the part of assistant instructors and safety officers today, were doing the same checks and inspections of their own weapons. The range was... excellent. A secluded training ground, designed for the specific function it was fulfilling today- small arms training. To his left, an obstacle course filled with holo targets and realistic urban terrrain stretched out for several hundred meters. Highly modular, the projections on the course could be programmed to present a variety of challenges. To his right sat a more traditional static range, with targets at variable distances ranging from 7 to 400 meters, and multiple firing lanes. A massive permacrete backstop- blackened, pocked, and crumbled from decades of absorbing bolts and bullets- encompassed both training grounds in a vast semi circle. The entire encampment was surrounded by Mandalores dense, treacherous forest. The local wildlife was vicious and dangerous, but a band of heavily armed Mandalorians was not easy prey, so Damri expected little danger. Damri eyed the lay out once more, then motioned for Arya to ascend the control tower and prepare the ranges. Damri turned his attention now to the motley band of warriors gathering on the wide landing pad behind him.
This wasn't his first time giving instructions on soldiering skills, but the context was very different. Before, he'd taught individuals how to improve their skills. Now, he was being tasked to help ensure that his people were prepared for war. He only hoped that he was up to the task, and that the seasoned fighters here weren't above revisiting their base skills.
"Vod, k'olar!" he shouted, his helmets external speaker echoing the command. The group began to close towards him, and he continued; "Alright, if we're all here, we'll go ahead and get started. I'll have everyone identify themselves, then we'll review the safety rules for the day. After that, we'll start shooting. Tion'gar vorer?"
