Vykos Mission Reports

[Caltrys Haile]

“My task was to join a frontline attack force in disabling a set of artillery batteries. Our small team of operatives was kept to a minimal amount of people to avoid detection and quietly move over the battlefield. Larger scale attacks were impossible to do as long as the enemy artillery was still at full capacity. We were one of three attacking groups to perform the same task, that being to approach undetected, disable enemy artillery placements and to then deploy mortars as a means to disable any enemy infrastructure in the area.

In this task we were successful. We slipped through no man’s land, running into an enemy patrol unit once and taking it out silently, then reaching the artillery placement. We successfully destroyed it, allowing a larger force of ground troops to cover the distance and resume their advance.

After the artillery was taken out we joined the larger ground force in seizing the enemy base. Many of the attacking force were sith engaging in a melee with the enemy. I myself joined this approach. We stormed the site, taking out every enemy we could find until the base was detonated. This detonation killed a large amount of our ground force. The ones who survived, myself included, we manned the remains of the base until we were relieved of duty.

This task took quite long due to the size of the area we had to cover. Stealth was the first priority this meant that weapons I was accustomed to were no option. The combat took a form I had not yet encountered, that being a more grounded and close-quarters brawl. At the cost of some injuries we took the artillery down. At the cost of a lot of troops we seized the base. The wait for the relief of duty was somehow more tortuous than the actual mission.”
