Operation: Cobalt

 

Hungary-Europe

 

The assault ship slipped through the clouds like a ghost, the hulls reflective panels had been activated allowing the beast to travel relative in secrecy. Alongside the assault ship moved two of the newly constructed Star Destroyers. As they appeared over the city of Budapest the cloaks were dropped and the ships sat above the city in all their glory for the locals to feast their eyes upon and for the local government to tremble in fear at.

 

After a short period drop ships and other various landers were seen leaving the assault ship and destroyers, all of which were heading towards the surface, some carried infantry while others carried the Empire’s fear instilling siege weapons. Like God’s wrath itself, the Imperial forces descended upon the city with plague like effectiveness.

 

1st Shock Trooper Corps

 

The lighters flickered in the dropship, inside a squad of Stormtroopers, each preparing in their own way for the combat operations ahead. The squad consisted of nine Stormtroopers, each were marked with the blood red stripes of the shock trooper corps, each trooper was battle hardened and one of the Empire’s toughest soldiers had to offer.

Anita sat looking down into the inside of her helmet, itself the inner part of the helmet was empty, after many months of use she had stripped it down to be lighter and more to her style of combat. She watched her fellow troopers move about the drop, some cleaned their weapons while others sat silently with their helmets on. This would be their second large combat mission as a shock trooper regiment. Shock troopers were expected to fight harder than regular troopers and be more capable in completing their objectives. She had served two years as a regular grunt before being selected to become a shock trooper and it felt good to become the warrior she thought herself to be.

 

Sat opposite Anita was Naxus, he had been a shock trooper for the past five years and it could be seen in his armour, blaster marks and dents were etched into every piece of the chest plate and body. He sat silent with his helmet on, though likely it was he was actually listening to communications chatter from the different units being deployed.

Naxus had been the squad leader for the past five months before the last one had been killed in action while charging head first into a rebel stronghold. Now he was in command one of the Empire’s elite shock trooper squads. It was a huge step up from being a rank and file trooper, more responsibility, more power and of course, more pay. Though this would be his first major battle in command of the men and women around him.

 

To the rear of the drop was Tex, leaning against the cockpit door he cradled the standard issue rotary blaster over his shoulder like it was nothing, though the weapon to most would have been felt to be heavy. Tex was the squad’s heavy weapons specialist, if the squad needed to blast their way through someone or something, he would be their man.

 

Anita hadn’t had the time to talk to the rest of her squad since most of them were newbies, new shock troopers rarely had much to say, they were used to commanders listening to every bit of chatter that the normal Stormtrooper would utter, which Anita found to be anal and intrusive at best but she didn’t have to deal with that anymore.

 

 Suddenly over the comms the dropships pilot spoke “Prepare for rapid deployment, landing in 10 secondsâ€.

 

Without too much thought, Anita found herself behind the Naxus on the ramp as its rapidly lowered and day light poured in like a wave. As the ramp hit the concrete ground, the sound of combat rocked the air, in front of the dropship an AT-AT had been deployed and was moving up what would have been a busy street. Several loud explosions shook the street as tank rounds impacted on the shield of the walker, within seconds the walker's heavy weapons had vaporised the tanks which had been located up the street.

 

Anita nearly felt the impacts before they actually happened, small arms fire slammed into shielding of her armour, though she had been told there was no threat from the primitive weapons they had to offer, it still sent her heart racing. Raising her DLT 19 she tracked a male soldier behind one of the wrecked vehicles, her HUD displayed the man and she squeezed the trigger and the rifle reacted by sending a stream of hot bolts through the air, piercing the heavy armour of the vehicle and straight into the target.

 

“Area clear, move up and support the walker, we are to head to the parliament building†Naxus squawked over the battle network.

 

 

With that the formation of shocktroopers began rapidly move up the street to catch the AT-AT walker.

As the troopers marched, Anita was greeted by Moonbin, an Amenrian vampire soldier, smiling with a mouthful of blood from his last victim, whom he casually thrown to the ground after draining the latter of his blood. "What took you guys so long?" teased the vampire, as he moved with the female trooper, clawing, biting and throwing all Hungarian soldiers unlucky enough to cross his path. "We took over France, Britain, Germany, Poland and Spain, and you guys just landed. I guess you aren't half as diligent as us Asians" added the blood-drinker with a chuckle.
