[h2]3rd Platoon Common Area, Deck 4[/h2] 
[hr] 

Rogaar blocked his opponent's strike with his muscled forearm, and attempted to grapple the arm with a swift grab from his opposite hand. It succeeded, but he was in turn gripped back, and felt a series of hard punches meet his abdomen as Section Leader Dred Ortega pushed the offensive. 

Pib Dosa cleaned his rifle as the 2nd Asst Section Leader Rogaar and the 1st Section Leader Dred fought with all of their combat experience amid the group of watching Mandalorians. Many simply kept silent as they studied the two combatants battle circle match, as if it was a math equation to be learned or a painting to be remembered, trying to memorize and contemplate every movement, every block. Combat was a way of life for the Mandalorians, a culture based upon war and warriors. 

The Mando'a Platoon Sergeant was a spectar among them, making sure everyone had their proper equipment. Todal Fist was an intimidating sight, even to other Mandalorians. Only Pib and perhaps Dred had just as many victories in battle, bounties, and hunting as he. He received nods and returned them from his brothers in war. 

"I've noticed we've not made many friends," Ghez said to his comrade and Section Leader, Tor Akaavi. "These troops have some experience, but it seems the moderate skirmish on Anaxes has rattle them." Tor nodded, for the so-called 'battle' was indeed nothing more than a moderate skirmish to the Mandalorians. Tor slipped his Vibroblade into his sheath as he spoke. "The rebellion is getting desperate. Perhaps that is why they were eager to take us. I saw a Kaleesh here as well." 

"None of our concern," Platoon Commander Dosa said, drawing their gazes. "Our goal remains the same." It was at that moment that Todal Fist approached and snapped to attention with his fist upon his chest. "Chieftan. The upper command of the Rebels asks for your presence." 

With a twist of his powerful arm, his weapons snapped into a reloaded position and he hefted it. "Soon, we'll take the Empire's measure yet again." Pib Dosa said as he addressed his battle brothers. "Rest and prepare."
