Having received a lead on rebel spies we mounted up and met the onsite event security team at 9:00am at the Rockhampton Show Grounds for the Rockhampton Home, Camping and Caravan Show. An excellent cover for rebel activity, we left no pillow unturned in our search for the rebel spies.




We found several pieces of rebel propaganda, but unfortunately the spies had already been alerted to our presence, so no arrests were made at this time.




Some of the troopers found the search a long and hard duty, TK-6729 Angelman found a novel way of keeping his cool during the search.




The search was taking far too long, so the troops approached one of the vendors about some faster modes of transportation. They even had one in the Redback Garrison colours.





The Imperials finest are always ready for any eventuality so if the rebel spies took to the water we were already prepared to pursue them.




Several force shields were deployed by the rebels, we were getting concerned at the level of security that the rebels were employing, we suspected they were hiding something big.




We knew the rebels spies were up to something fishy, so we thought we'd beat them at their own game and play along.




A short time later our searching uncovered what would have to be the largest thermal detonator that this trooper has ever seen. It had the potential to level the entire city of Rockhampton. Fortunately one brave trooper was able to disarm it and render it inoperable.




Apparently through a mis-communication about the 'clean up' from the thermal detonator, this happened.




Apparently all our scanning had depleted our power cells, Reaper offered to sign for the new power cells.




For those that think the rebels may not have the resources to stage an effective attack on the Empire, think again, here is one of our reconnaissance images. Apparently the owner knows Don Post, small planet.





We did find some proud Imperial supporters amongst the vendors, we took a moment from our search and did a few digital images with them.




Finally our sweep completed we returned to the security area and reported our findings. I believe the event organisers were most impressed with us and we are looking forward to protecting the event again next year.
