Plot summaryEdit

An Imperial battalion begins attacking a New Republic outpost on the spaceport world of Cadinth.

As Republic pilots dash to their Defenders, Imperial Sniper airspeeders begin flying down onto the battlefield. Several hundred AP-2, AP-3 and AP-1-C attack droids gun down the lightly defended Republic infantries, as the Imperial Snipers gain the same advantage in the air.

Republic Lieutenant Brin Stiels contacts Republic Core Base for reinforcements, soon choking on smoke and collapsing. Just as a small group of AT-ATs appear on the horizon, the story inexplicably ends.
