Blackjack ESC - 2009[edit]
Summary[edit]
Blackjack has distinguished itself as a steady competitor in previous competitions, if not fantastic. However, that may change with a sudden influx of new blood and troopers returning from the Reserves and retirement. This could be Blackjack's moment to shine.
Operations[edit]
PHASE I[edit]
Location: Tadeth Space, Thrawnist Intredictor Aggrevator
Equipment:
* Standard Squad Loadout
* One (1) Personal Choice Weapon
You Wouldn't Like me when I'm Angry[edit]
Orders: Steal an enemy dropship and board the enemy Intredictor and disable its weapons.
Opposition: 20 9-man Active Duty Security Squads
Support: 5 Squads Marines, 1 squad Special Forces
Red Light, Green Light, 1, 2, 3...[edit]
Orders: Disabling the weapons systems put the Aggrevator on full alert. The cruiser pulls to the rear of the engagement. Blackjack must take down the gravity wells in order for the Corps to start it's counter attack and send ships for help
Opposition: Remaining on-duty personnel, 20 additional Stand-by Security Squads
Support: Remaining Marines and Special Forces
See What Happens When You Aggrevate Me?[edit]
Orders:The Interdictor is useless in the battle. It still has troops to deploy, so it does not flee. BlackJack will use high yield explosives to cripple the engines so it can't deploy its troops
Opposition:Remaining on-duty personnel, Up to Forty
(40) additional security squads
Support: Remaining Marines and Special Forces
Phase I Summary[edit]
Blackjack successfully disrupted the Aggrevator's weapons, gravity well generators, and engines, at the cost of the majority of the special forces squad and Imperial Marine squads. The sudden destruction of the engine generators caused the ship to be rendered dead in space and an easy target for the rest of the fleet. CPL Wrex was injured during the escape of the ship.
PHASE II[edit]
Location: Tadeth Space, Thrawnist ISD-II Nemesis
Equipment:
* Standard Squad Loadout
* One (1) Personal Choice Weapon

Opposition:Up to Seventy-five (75) Active-duty Security Squads
Support: 3 Squads StarCorps Marines, Two (2) squads Special Forces
Cheese-Eatin' Rat Bastards[edit]
Orders:Having discovered Moraal to be on the bridge, Blackjack moves to secure her for extraction and trial by military tribunal.
Opposition: Seventy-five (75) Standby-duty Security Squads, remnants from objective one
Support:Remnants from Objective One
Surviving the Rat Race[edit]
Orders:Having secured Moraal, Blackjack must now escape the Nemesis with their prize. However, this is complicated from being pursued by Noghori.
Opposition:Remaining Security Squads from Objectives 1 and 2, and Two (2) Noghori
Support:Remains from Objectives 1 and 2
Phase II Summary[edit]
The Vast Imperial forces split into two groups, the smaller consisting of the Blackjacks and Special Forces Aurek Squad and the larger, distracting force the Marines and other Special Forces Squad. The former advanced through the halls of the Nemesis, walking into a Thrawnist ambush at the turbolift. Escaping, they interrogated an officer, and determined that Moraal was evidently in the brig. Finding that "Moraal" was a decoy upon storming the bridge, the squads interrogated Thrawnist Intelligence Officer Willis. Willis revealed that the real Moraal was on the auxiliary bridge. The Blackjacks and Aureks then retrieved Morral and headed for the hanger. Moraal revealed the existence of traitorous VE Moffs, shortly before the group ran into Noghri. Running from the Noghri, they encountered the survivors from the second group, who had also been attacked. The surviving Vast Imperial forces retreated to the hanger and were extracted from the Nemesis by an MAATi gunship.
PHASE III[edit]
Location:Fort Sexton, Tadeth

* Stormtrooper II Carbines
* DC-15s Holdout Blasters

Carry On My Wayward Son[edit]

Opposition:Assorted Thrawnist Infantry

Phase III Summary[edit]
Serpent Squad attacked a group of Thrawnist scouts, taking out a number of the enemy jumptroopers. However, the Thrawnists forced them to retreat by bringing up a proton cannon. Three troopers were left behind in the confusion. The Serpent troopers launched another attack, carving their way through numerous Thrawnist Army troopers and jumptroopers before rescuing their pinned down comrades. Retreating, they commandeered several Thrawnist vehicles and were finally stopped almost at Fort Sexton's gates. They were rescued by several other VE jumptrooper squads, and made it to the safety of the fort.
