Species/Type: Onslaught at Arda I | |
Relations: Arda I | |
As the detonations revebrated through the canyon, a cheer erupted from the Alliance soldiers as half of the AT-ATs fell under the hundreds of tons of rock raining down upon them. With the way barred for the remaining walkers, the Imperial forces had no choice but to unleash their next wave in the attack - two platoons of sandtroopers have been deployed via ramps - which helped them to cross the debris - and entered the battle. Four squads, 32 troopers in total started their advance. Rebels took cover provided by rock outcroppings scattered about. Initially Sandtroopers have been exposed while crossing the rubble, but as soon as the rubble was behind them, they also started to take advantage of the cover. The battle was raging inside the canyon. Rebels managed to utilize some of the anti-infantry laser cannons to repel the attackers, and despite they were outnumbered, Rebels managed to hold their own displaying unprecedented heroism. The santroopers suffered severe losses, and the Rebels retreated through the tunnels but not before they won enough time to prepare the evacuation. | |
