Competition: From The Beach

Finished
From The Beach

The Northland Islands is small collection found in the northwest hemisphere of Yridia II. A strong, warrior like people they have been some of the most loyal to Tarentum and regularly had their sons and daugthers enlist with the Tarentum military. However, when their dead began returning from Korriban, a plague came with it and their population was the worst hit. Talks of rebellion evolved into action, as the islands inhabitants destroyed the government offices in their region and drove out any of their supporters. However, before the government or their Tarentum overlords could respond to the rebellion; communication from the island chain was disrupted in the middle of the night. The next day scouts from nearby fleet carriers and imaging from the Tarentum navy have reported fires burning uncontrollably across the region, yet neither party has yet to spot any enemy or civilian movement.

The Consul's Office will not tolerate the continued failures of the Yridia government. Taking reigns of the operation, Raiju Kang has ordered a task force to land on the beach of the largest island of Northland. Comprised of six Tarenti, including yourself, and a battalion of infantry; your objection is to retake the government offices - no matter their condition. Rules of engagement have been suspended, anyone in your path is to be consider an enemy, Shit hits the fan quickly, and while many in your group thought this was going to be a walk in the park - things become complicated when one of your fellow Tarenti is cut down by the enemy. Do they survive? Will you reach your objective?
