Location: Mazitec, Scout group.
The scout group had split up into two separate partys Alpha team made up of the Jedi Mal’Dam, the Jedi padawan Jade, Captain Yarrick, and two Troopers (NPCs). The Omega group having Imperial Knight Vect, Medic M-0018, Trooper Heavy gunner (NPC), and two Trooper one being Daxar. Both groups had been exploring for hours, they have made it quite a ways out and away from the outpost exploring the surroundings in two different directions. Team Alpha (Jedi team) and Team Omega (Imperial Knight Team) are to meet up back at the rondevu point in exactly three hours.
Team Alpha:Mal’Dam and Jade lead the way through the forest with the troopers behind them, Yarrick ready to command his troops at any second. A few small creatures have been spotted mostly rodents and reptiles as well as a few birds soaring above. The large white stocked mushrooms soar into the sky as tall as trees there huge umbrella like caps are finned if viewed from the ground looking up. A few that have fallen over the years reveal the tops of the caps to be colored some blue some red and even a few purple ones. They mix and blend in with the different breeds of tree that make up the lush wet forest.
The air on Mazitec seemed to be almost too thick with oxygen even though the scanners said it was a perfect atmosphere for human lifeforms. The sweat forming on Trooper Brian "Eagle" Nelsons forehead was quickly evaporated by his built in helmet cooling systems, it was humid at the very least he thought to himself as he marches along with the others preforming his duty. Scouting the area to see what is out here. He stretches his neck and looks up high into the canopy taking in a deep breath and exhaling calmly. Before Trooper Eagle could even finish exhaling he saw it. A large oval looking object, dark brown and slightly ridged in texture. That’s all he had time to take in before it hit the ground right near him.
The insect hive smashed onto the ground instantly killing many of the wasp like creatures that inhabit the nest. The sheer number of “wasps” that emerge from the crushed object is mind boggling. Some must have flew out while it was falling as the insects seem to be everywhere. Near the impact zone the “wasps” form into what looks like a huge flying ball that seems to roll and change shapes like a big flock of birds high in the air. The bugs being very confused try to find any near animal to blame their anger on. The wasps engulf the group, finding their way into cloths and under armor. Each sting delivering a tiny bit of venom that will numb the area, eventually incapacitating the enemy. Meant for smaller creatures but can easily paralyze a large animal by swarming in numbers.
Team Omega: Heavy gunner Joe Dray Troop number J-0524 holds his Z-6 as he walks between the medic and the troopers. The Imperial knight leading the pack at the front. Joe had gotten used to carrying the heavy Z-6 Rotation Blaster a long time ago, wielding it in many battles in his past and taking many enemy lives with it. He had modified it a bit just to give it some of his own personality. The trigger had been replaced with a hair trigger, it got those barrels moving a lot faster than the stock part. He had also hollowed out one of the plasma conductors just a bit to give it more power without taking away any of the accuracy. Yeah, Joe had really come to trust his “Z” but he wasn’t sure if it would get much use out here. With the wars over and Jedi back to acting only as peace keepers he found himself stationed out in the middle of nowhere on a planet that seemed pretty peaceful for the most part. Joe Had just arrived at the outpost the day before and he was already liking the breezy nature of this job, a man could retire easy like this. Joe taps the medic on the shoulder and says,
”Beautiful day isn’t it medic, M-0018 it was right? Well I’m Joe and it’s nice to meet you mate, I haven’t got a chance to really make any friends yet. What do you think of this place so far anyway?

Ghost looks through the scope of her highly powerful and modified T-28 sniper rifle. The assassin had successfully retrieved the holocron item from the dusty moon, it had proven to be a bit more difficult then she had originally thought but found the treasure with relative ease hidden under water. Ghost blends in perfectly with the surrounding forest thanks to her reflecting camo sensors. The assassin adjusts her sights focusing in on a small dark entrance to an unassuming cave that could be easily passed by. The cave entrance is near the top of a tall hill covered in forest. The assassin hops down from the mushroom she had been hiding on and heads towards the cave on the hill.
Ghost nears the entrance when she hears voices in the distance.
”Beautiful day isn’t it medic, M-0018 it was right? Well I’m Joe and it’s nice to meet you mate, I haven’t got a chance to really make any friends yet. What do you think of this place so far anyway?
The assassin quickly vanishes into the shadows of the forest background, stealth being one of her strongest abilities. She sees a small group of Imperial soldiers being led by an Imperial knight approaching her location.
”They cannot know of the book, They must be on some sort of scouting mission. So the Federation used my information well I see. I did not expect them to send out this many so soon. The planet must be in some sort of strategic location for their army.”
Ghost sinks further back into the shadows all but disappearing.
