[h2]Battle at Venator Bridge[/h2]

Belok Parja gazed out of the corridor as cautiously as he dared, confirming that there were less than two dozen highly trained Storm Troopers now moving to entrench themselves upon the Venator's Bridge. The Mandalorian's hand moved in swift and coordinated movements, signalling the numbers, estimated enemy skill, and the urgency needed if they wanted to take the ground. The Signal was transferred to Section Leader Tor Akaavi, which was in turned given to Pib Dosa.

"Move out. Maneuver Dragon," he ordered them. Todal Fist nodded and sent the troops into their positions. The lightest of footbeats could be heard on the metallic floor, and the other squads had just finished reloaded their DC-15A Rifles. Ca'Tra Forg, Briike Ghes, and Venku Tank had their DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle reloaded and at the ready, being given the signal. Stepping out into the center of the blast door opening, they began to lay down a galactic level amount of suppressing fire. 

Red lasfire filled the vision of the StormTroopers. Two were hit and went down, and the others ducked for cover, firing back as best they could. To their credit, they fired with precision, even in the hailstorm of lasfire. Briike Ghes was hit on his left, but he grunted, fell to a knee and continued to fire, spraying the room with what was left in his LMG. This exchange lasted for many moments as the LMG's comrades hustled into positions.

Even as the LMG Gunner's rifles phased out and needed to be reloaded, the suppressing fire had been enough. All three Squads were in the room, exchanging intense fire with the Red Mark StormTroopers that fought back stubbornly. The Mandalorian's fought with a cold precision that was reserved for the most elite soldiers in the galaxy. Pib Dosa instinctively ducked under a returned hail of lasfire he had expected from the enemy leader, firing simultaneously and burning the opponent's shoulder with a well aimed shot from his rifle. Foggo Nex was shot in the shoulder, and then in the Kidney. He let out a slight grunt as Laaz Gunder lifted him up. "Leave me be, I have this," Foggo told him. His armor held the first shot, but the second was hit in an angle that bore through his armor and into his body. Perhaps he could have survived the blast if given medical treatment, for he was a tough soldier. But he wasn't going to find out. 

The Grenader took out two thermal detonators, and with a warcry, sprinted into the main Bridge area, being utterly lit up by blaster fire as both a distraction, and a suicide strike on the entrenched enemy. Even as his body was shorn apart by lasfire, his thermal detonators went off in the middle of the Storm Troopers, engulfing at least four, and burning/scarring various others. Vorten Cham fought with his blaster Pistol, his left arm now rendered useless from being hit multiple times. Nevertheless, he shot the helmet off one of the Stormtroopers. 

They were winning, but only for now. They never counted their victory before the battle was done.
