Guest Trooper Attendance: bigmac, Beanie, SideshowMel, Cutter.
Support Crew: Various. We all pitched in to support each other.
Detail:
0900 saw the arrival of The Scotsman. As Team Captain, he needed to scout ahead and make sure his fellow troopers had a clear and safe landing area for their shuttles.
1000 was when Hopfot arrived. The Scotsman thought it best not to open fire straight away. But allow the Rebels to setup their base camp right next to the imperial base. Which was still on it's way. Once established, it would be within easy striking distance and we would rout these Rebels once and for all.
Throughout the morning Troopers were arriving. It was a great site to see our base expanding as reinforcements deployed. Soon almost everything was ready........... Moxxxie!!
Our fearless Ventress (Moxxxie) had an entanglement with some Bothan spies. They had infiltrated her operations center and disabled her vital systems. Mainly the air compressor pump among a string of other things. Fortunately, Moxxxie was able to send a Stormtrooper Commander (cobra) to break the blockade surrounding the Imperial fleet. And it is with great pleasure that I can now report that many Bothans died as a result of cobra's mission. As we would expect no less.
Back at the Relay (Main Mission), the opening ceremony had begun. It started with the "Survivors Lap". We were led by our "Survivors". The Scotsman, Muppet and TheWolf. After the first lap all the Troopers assembled at the base of the ramp leading up to the "Survivors Afternoon Tea". This is when The Scotsman asked who had a second hand on their watch. TheWolf obliged. The Scotsman then produced his Challenge coin and challenged all of the assembled Troopers. Even though almost everyone was wearing a bucket, The Scotsman could see the blood draining from their faces. Not one of them had their coin on them. HAHAHA!!! Beer for me.. Yum Yum. (TheWolf did buy The Scotsman a couple of beers and they were very apreciated. Everyone else, you owe me a drink.
)
Who is that TB???
The Scotsman, Muppet and TheWolf went up to have afternoon tea that had been put on by the ladies of Zonta. Meanwhile, the other Troopers began the long march. Most notably, Jaggered and our Mystery TB both put in a phenomenal effort. And for a while there it looked like neither of them were going to get out of armour.
BTW: The Mystery TB can now be reviled as Cadet Super_Trooper.
With the blockade broken, Moxxxie and cobra arrived ready to complete the next phase of the mission.
The photo-booth was set up and preparations were made for the SVJ fight.
When the fight was over it was amazing to see how many people were standing around wanting to watch episodes V and VI. And then of course the prequels I, II and III. But what they did get to see was amazing. they were blown away. Awesome work, Team.
There were many great moments throughout the night. Too many to mention. All I can say is that if you want to know what went on the other night. Get along to the next one next year.
Let us now skip to the end of the event.
It is great to note that everyone pitched in to break down the camp. Also, a few Troopers stayed behind and helped with the event clean-up too. Thank you, Troopers. This is what makes us the best Garrison there is.
A special mention goes to Jaggered. Congratulations on your first troop in your armour. You showed true Redback spirit throughout the entire night. Well done!

Real democracy is not something that can be palmed off with a click of a mouse once a year, a crossed box and crossed fingers.
Democracy is for life, not just elections.
