Mission Report: There Is Seldom A Single Wave

Soldiers Lost

I feel it was a bit of an honor to see Korriban again, my second journey here. Apprentices Zotam and Nivalis, as well as Acolyte Kaladius, were also on this expedition, seeking out a strange site of Sith Runes. The sand, the huge stone statues carved ages ago... I've been a lot of places in the Galaxy, but no place has such grand structures as anything the Sith have put their effort forth into, on any of the worlds they have lived on.

We were prepared for Pelko Bugs, but coming to a wall of rubble in our way, we detected things under the sand. To our surprise, it was a group of Imperials with blades and guns - we took out most, interrogating one who spoke of 'The Mother', implying someone was chained and needed to be released. Sorcery stuff. Soldiers so far gone, they had no identifiers of whom they may have been. Just more unprepared soldiers lost to the sands.

We found our site, a cracked mural with runes scattered about near a tomb entrance. Judging by the layout, we surmised something may be contained at the site, a source of power... possibly this 'Mother'. And then our tomb door burst open, a K'lor'slug Brood Mother coming out with her skittering children. The battle was fierce - the Mother tried to eat us at first, Zotam and myself retaliating. It managed to scatter us, though, the brood picking at each of us as the Mother smashed her tail about.

I went for a gambit, having the Acolyte cover me - detaching one of my Flamethrower tanks, having seen how well these things were burning, we antagonized the Mother and had her come towards us. Chucking it in, and shooting it with my pistol, the ensuing explosion knocked us all about... and took off the top half of our Brood Mother. There were mostly some superficial burns on behalf of the Acolyte and Apprentice Zotam for it, but otherwise, a battle well-fought, especially with these things being super venomous.

Final Verdict

With the sand settled, we were able to get good footage and images of all the runes, as was our objective. Additionally, Apprentice Zotam seems to have picked up far more with Sorcery, which seems to be his business and that of the Sith. For myself, I'm putting in for 'The Bane of The K'lor'slugs' Medal, if anything, given how many I went through. Not my first bug experience, or my last. Nonetheless, this Report will also be open to Apprentice Zotam for a while, so he can retrieve anything attached.

For the Empire, for Darth Horuset,
