Mission: Scout the Surface for the Location of the Raider Camp

Mission Debrief: I arrived on Ziost shortly after we received Gregor’s distress signal. Gregor made it clear he didn’t want us going near his property, for fear it may bring more trouble to him and his droids. All he wanted was for us to find the raiders and take them out. Therefore, I landed a good distance away from his property, but not too far, because I knew the raiders couldn’t be too far off from his home if they had previously attacked him. I quickly got to work, searching the barren wasteland for any signs of raiders or pirates. Obviously I wanted to help the Clan repay their debt to an old ally and protect him, but I knew we had an ulterior motive here. The presence of raiders here on Ziost threatened the security of our forces of Gigor, a vital planet to the defense of our territories. So I traveled quickly, looking for small details that could point me in the direction of their camp. I traveled through the rocky land, broken up by patches of dead petrified grass, when suddenly, I came across an ancient statue.

It sat atop a stand that was cracked and had pieces falling from it. The shape of the mighty figure that, at one time, probably stood as a sign of power and control, now stood broken and crumbling. The statue was missing a head and almos the entirety of its right arm. It bore a staff in its left hand, which had been broken off in the middle, part of it still fixated in the stand, the other still in his hand. No doubt this statue had been of someone of great importance. They appeared to be robed, with a cloak around their waist. I do not know the history of Ziost, only that a war here thousands of years ago turned it into a dead wasteland. Perhaps this was a statue of the ruler of the planet, who lost the war, or perhaps the victor, who had this statue built in their honor before shortly abandandoning it along with the planet when they saw that the world had died. Unfortunately, I was so caught up in the statue and it’s meaning that I didn’t even realize I had let my guard down. Thankfully those raiders were loud and sloppy, or else I might not have lived to give this report.

I quickly sprung behind the statue for cover, assessing the size of the enemy force and their strength. It appeared as though they were only a small scouting party, only 5 strong, and no doubt searching for supplies or unsuspecting fools to prey on.

Unfortunately for them, I’m no unsuspecting fool.

Needless to say I made short work of them, tearing through each of them with ease before tackling the lieutenant, who had brought up the rear. By threatening him, I learned that he was part of a raider gang know as the “Ash Bandits.” They were hiding out near here in a small camp, regrouping to set out to conquer more planets for their plunder. After knocking him out so he wouldn’t wake up for quite some time, I put together this report, which I am now sending to you, with a request for more Mandalorian brothers and sisters to back me up, as I am going to be searching for the raider camp to put an end to these “Ash Bandits” once and for all.

I really like how it ties in to other CE Entries. The story really opens up the build and complement each other well.

Awesome build, love the use of levers!

Super build! Simple, but it really gets that dark and spooky Ziost atmosphere through...
