Here's something a little different. I attached the battle report as a PDF because it is picture-heavy.
Colonel Cardin took off his cap and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fanning his face while looking at the cloudless sky, he took in a deep breath and exhaled. "I'll be glad when those droids are found and we can get back aboard ship. Who in the entire galaxy wants to live on a desert planet with two suns?" Cardin didn't expect an answer from his troopers. In his experience, they weren't all that smart to begin with.
After the droid parts were found with the escape pod, extra troops had been sent down to the planet. Colonel Cardin was given command of all Imperial forces planetside. His only mission - hunt down those droids at all costs and return to the ship with the plans.
Headquarters was in the center of town. Tired of sitting around and giving the same negative status updates, Cardin had decided to take a walk. The civilians in this city all looked like they were either beggars or criminals. Cardin suspected he would already have been the victim of thugs or pickpockets if it weren't for the well-armed troopers surrounding him in their white armor (which was no longer shiny because of the sand). All this sand...it gets everywhere.
The docking bays along the edge of town were tiny compared to the main hanger aboard ship. Cardin guessed criminals used these bays. He wanted a fight and hoped someone would try to smuggle the droids past him into one of the bays. One thing he had learned throughout his long years of service: the easiest way to promotion was through violence. Prove you can handle yourself in battle and lead your troops to victory. That's what the academy professors had taught him years ago, and that's why Cardin was a colonel while his classmates were either captains or majors. Cardin closed his eyes and smiled, thinking about shooting sand-covered scruffy smugglers, capturing the droids, and getting his reward - the shiny rank of General.
Cardin turned to one of his underlings. "Lieutenant, take two squads and check Docking Bay 95. Report to me when you have secured the area." Waving his right hand forward, Cardin motioned for the rest of his troops to resume their patrol.
A sharp blast of thrusters at full power broke his train of thought. His eyes widened, head twitching from side to side as he tried to locate the origin of the noise as it bounced off the buildings on either side of the street. Cardin's eyes caught a flash and he looked up as a small craft roared upward and away. Probably a YT-type freighter. It moved so fast he didn't get enough time to really look at it.
Cardin shook his head, "that ship won't make it past the blockade." He put his cap back on and continued walking. A few moments later his earpiece crackled to life. <Colonel Cardin, this is Lieutenant Tarrek!>
He tapped his ear, "Cardin here. Go ahead."
<"Smugglers in Bay 95. They're all dead now sir, but their cargo is moving towards you fast!">
Cardin frowned. "Cargo? What cargo?"
<"Illegal zoo animals. Escaped during the firefight. Rancor, Wampa, some other creatures. Very dangerous!"
Cardin stopped in his tracks, thinking to himself "Rancor... dangerous... that's an understatement." A monstrous roar erupted from just ahead, behind the last line of buildings. Mouth suddenly even more dry, if that were possible in this desert heat, Colonel Cardin drew his blaster, thinking to himself, "I should have stayed on the ship." Cardin yelled, voice cracking, "take cover!" as loud thumps grew closer….
