The forests of Mandalore were unusually quiet as Mand'alor Fenn Shysa walked through the dense underbrush. Leaves, twigs and a few small flowers crunched under his heavy beskar boots. The green of his armor gleamed in the bright sunlight as he paused briefly to take of his heavy beskar helmet. The Mand'alor was instantly greeted by the sweet kiss of a cold breeze. Fenn Shysa smiled slightly as he paused to take a drink of his durasteel canteen. He gulped down the crystal clear water with vigor, enjoying the brief luxury before setting upon the day's mission. Fenn Shysa took one last drink before capping his canteen and returning his helmet back to its original position. He looked over his shoulder and nodded at the small platoon of Mandalorians behind him. The Mand'alor made a forward motion with his hand and the improvised army set upon its path.
A small group of Mandalorian soldiers had been taken captive by the Stormtroopers of Palpatine's Empire. The brief battle that happened immediately before had cost the Mandalorians dearly. Five seasoned warriors had their lives taken away along with three of the Mandalorians most season commanders had been taken captive. He had just recently learned that a force of Stormtroopers were leading the newly captured Mandalorians back to the City of Bone. The plan was simple. He and a small group of Mandalorian soldiers were to ambush the convoy and free the prisoners. it was brutal, blunt and to the point. Shysa knew he would be able to cut a huge swath in the battlefield, but it would all be for naught if he had no reinforcements. This battle was to be just as symbolic as it was concrete. He needed to send a message to the Imperials. A message that the Mandalorians were not to be taken for granted, that the Mandalorians were not to be underestimated. He needed to force the message that only Mandalorians governed other Mandalorians.
"Let's do this" the Mand'alor said as he upholstered an E-11 blaster rifle
Fenn Shysa let loose with a barrage of four bolts. Three Stormtroopers fell instantly to the opening salvo. A single Stormtrooper with an orange shoulder plate signaling he was a veteran returned fire with deadly accuracy. A blue armored Mandalorian took a round to the neck. The man gave a guttural groan as he attempted to claw away the mass of burning plastic and flesh. Fenn Shysa gave a sorrowed look before jumping down from the cliff on which he was settled. He fired another trio of shots before raising his weapon in the air
"FOR MANDALORE!" Fenn bellowed as he charged the line of Stormtroopers
