Dantooine - 14:25 Hours
"Sir. The taxi has arrived."
Matthew Smith turned and nodded to the soldier. "Thank you Xor. Gather everyone and get the equipment loaded up." Xor nodded. Matt looked out over the small plaza of the town center. They were going to meet a Sargeant of the security forces of Dantooine, and set up the new sat equipment that the republic sent them prier to a request.
It was a diplomatic mission. Not exactly what his team was there for, but since the sith and imperial forces went into hiding, there wasn't much fighting, except for simple planet skirmishes on the outer rim planets.
"Sir!" Matt rushed forward. It was time to move to the Sargeant's location. They all boarded the shuttle, and it began to move along a shuttle path. The ride was about 20 minutes long. Might as well make some conversation. Matt wasn't exactly the talking type, but he tried once in a while, to get to know his Men.
He nodded at Xor. He was a young man, in his mid 20s, slight facial hair, and thick brown hair. "How's your girlfriend?" Matt asked him.
Xor smiled. He always did when his girlfriend was brought up as the main topic. "She's doing fine Sir. Moved into the new house on Naboo."
Matt smiled. "Yea? How much did that cost you?"
"A few thosand credits as a down payment."
"Ah. Just a down payment. Only Republic Soldiers could afford such a thing."
"Yes sir. It's tough, but she also works for the queen of Naboo. So we'll manage, between our paychecks. I just can't---"
Suddenly there was an explosion in front of the shuttle. Then another to the side, and the shuttle flipped over onto it's roof. Matt found himself on his stomach, and when he opened his eyes, saw Xor and the other soldiers stunned as well.
"What in death's name was that?!" Someone asked. Matt pushed himself to his feet and helped Xor to his feet. "Ambush. Outta the shuttle soldiers!"
As they crawled out of a window, blaster fire opened up, and Matt couldn't believe his eyes. Imperial soldiers! Matt pulled his blaster form his leg holster and fired back. "Cover! Cover!" He yelled to his team.
They all ducked behind the shuttle, when he saw a glint in the sun. "Thermal!"
He leaped forward, and knocked down another one of his soldiers, nicknamed Frosty, for using a cyron grenade on a pack of Pirates back during the trade wars.
The explosion from the enemy grenade threw up dust and rock and dirt around the two as the battle continued on the other side of the shuttle. "Blast it." Matt got on his knees, staying under cover. "Frosty, get on the comms, tell em we need reinforcements ASAP!"
