Jalua could feel an immense object rising just above her, she didn't need to look at what it was, but the size and shape easily told her it was the MCAV. She didn't know why it was here, probably keeping an eye on her whereabouts, but still, it was a welcome sight. R-Wings rushed forwards, whipping the air around them in a furious gale which then slowly settled again. With the MCAV towering above them, Jalua ignited her lightsaber. It's purple blade shined high and sharp, it was with that the people cheered and the attack began.
Thousands rushed down the hill charging at the Imperial lines, weapons at the ready and letting off a furious deep roar. At the front, Jalua could see the white figures of the Imperial Stormtroopers getting larger and larger, until finally they opened fire. In the first salvo a few people got cut down but the attack continued, Jalua deflected a few bolts which were heading towards her and used her sprinting momentum to power her in a force-assisted jump. Spinning in the air, she finally came down within the stormtrooper's ranks and immediately began fighting. Slashing and stabbing she disrupted the line and let the people swarm over the stormtroopers, erupting into a series of small firefights that were quickly overcome. The walkers attempted to fire and did a bit of damage, but on only a small scale. They were quickly put down with Jalua's assistance and the people continued forwards to the main block of the legion which also appeared to be charging forwards.

The stormtroopers across the planet took defensive positions around the landing zones and secured buildings. It was likely that reinforcements would need to fight through the streets to get to the buildings taken, but that should not be a problem. With stormtroopers holding out with their positions, the surplus troops began to take out strategic buildings along the routes the reinforcements would need to take to get to their comrades and counter-attack. It would give them a bit of shelter and chance to supply up, eventually keeping the route secure by occupying most of the buildings on the routes.
Meanwhile at the power generator, Imperial forces continued to battle against the Empress and her forces. Although getting overrun fairly quickly, the main force was in defensive positions amongst the rubble and buildings surrounding the power station. Engineers worked inside the station to bring the power offline, which would hopefully make things harder for the defending citizens and soldiers.

Dan was helping a group of Coalition forces and his Reapers harass a AT-ST with the THOR cannon. Moving as fast as he could under it, he would stop every so often to fire a stream of explosive rounds into the bottom and sides of the walker. The walker was stamping around in frustration when Dan felt a series of heavy tremors. Pausing, he turned around to find himself facing the cannons of a pair of AT-STs that had come to assist their distressed counterpart. "Scatter." said Dan and the Reapers cloaked and disappeared, while the fighters ran off. Dan weighed his options. He knew he couldn't surrender, that wasn't going to happen. He could run, but the walkers were faster. He could overload his shields in the hope that it would be enough to save him, but that would probably only help him for a second before he was vaporized.
As he thought, he all of the sudden a pair of proton torpedos slammed into the sides of each of the walkers. The walkers fell in a burning heap, and as Dan looked up, a pair of TIE Defenders flashed over. Dan cheered and pumped his arm in encouragment, and in turn the Defenders did a tight loop around him and dipped their wings in salute before flying off. Dan turned and saw Senteniel shuttles settling in the area around him, covered by TIE Defenders, and the Special Forces troops streaming off. A squad ran up to him and saluted. "Sir, we recieved the message sent by the Empress. The 6th and 3rd have managed to punch enough of a hole through the blockade to get forces here, and the 1st is getting ready to intercede if things go south. Admiral Duke has instructed us to tell you that he can't contact you directly due to Imperial jamming, and to tell you that he doesn't know how long they can keep that corridor open. He advises that if you want to get anyone off the planet, to do it soon."
Dan opened up a channel with Jalua. "The 6th and 3rd have punched a hole for us, but don't know how long they can keep it open. What do you want to do?"

"Go!" she shouted, slicing a stormtrooper, turning and kicking another. "Get off the planet". Jalua continued her attack, flinging a couple more through the air into a building. With the thousands around her, they continued their assault, beginning to get closer to the Imperial position. Entering the doorway of the building, she turned and waved for others to follow. Roughly fifty did so and they began clearing out the building, it would only be a matter of time before other followed and they could strike the legion from the buildings it was fortifying.
Eventually, after fighting to the third floor, on a long corridor they were spotted and stormtroopers began counter-attacking. Standing behind a wall, next to the steps, she watched overs dive for cover and begin reloading their weapons. There was no way they could pass through with so many weapons pointed at them, so Jalua decided to do something a bit unorthodox. Putting her lightsaber on her belt, she raised both hands and began to struggle. Everyone watched nervously, waiting to see what would happen and for a while nothing did. Then suddenly a furious wall of energy slammed into the wall in front of them, then into the next, and the next, all the way through and out of the building roughly two hundred yards away. With the building weakened on their side, it began to collapse and after much smoke and noise, the building's rubble could be seen in front of them. With the building half collapsed, the third floor now had a mountain of rubble to pass down, with just a short fall onto it. Jalua led the way, re-activating her lightsaber and others began running with her, jumping down onto the rubble and then carefully making their way down the uneven mound. This attack put the stormtroopers at a more vulnerable position since part of their defensive line was made up of these long buildings which were supposedly easily defended.

"I meant you, d**n it!" he swore at the closed comm channel. "Gah, d**n it! Soldier, what do we have for assets in the area?" The Special Forces soldier consulted a datapad. "The 6th is landing troops at hotspots all over the planet, but in this area we have about 500 troops, 7 Sentinel-class landing craft, and 3 CAMELOT Gunships, along with fighter support. The 3rd is trying to set up some oorbital support for us, but are having trouble due to the fact that there's so much confusion." "Good." said Dan. "But we'll have to do without the orbital support."
He activated his comm for BM forces. "All Black Moon forces, this is Talon. Is there a CAMELOT in my area that can provide pickup for me and 6 Reapers, over?" "Talon, this is CAMELOT 6-2, I am available can provide pickup. ETA, 2 minutes, over." "Talon copies, break. Talon to Reapers, regroup on me. Out." He turned to the Special Forces soldiers. "Go assist the citizens. Try to focus on hotspots where it may be too difficult for them, but easier for you." "Sir." said the soldier, who saluted and jogged off with his squad as the CAMELOT gunship settled down in front of him. His Reapers had regrouped by then, and they climbed aboard. "Where too?" yelled tthe pilot over the repulsors. Dan consulted a tactical map he had displayed in his helmet HUD, and noted Jaluas position. "There!" he yelled back, and uploaded the coordinates to the pilots nav system. With a nod, the pilot closed the doors and took off.
As they flew along, Dan saw the building that Jalua had collapsed, and saw her leading a charge down the collapsed wall. "Might as well tell her we're here." said Dan to the pilot as he clipped the THOR to the handrail. "Hover here and open it up." "Sir." said the pilot, put the gunship above the charge, and opened the side door. Dan started to fire explosive rounds at the stormtroopers below as the pilot opened up a comm channel with Jalua. "Empress, this is BM gunship CAMELOT 6-2. Be advised that I'm on station and that you have fire support."

"Acknowledged, hit the defensive perimeter" she ordered through her mic and soon after saw the thunder-like sounds of the Gunship's cannons firing on the Imperial positions. With the Coalition making excellent progress, it was only a matter of time before the last strongholds were finished off and then Jalua was determined to go to orbit and continue the fight there.

"You heard the lady!" said Dan. "Hit it!" "With pleasure." said the pilot, and swung the CAMELOT into position above the stormtroopers and extended the langing legs. "Hold on back there!" yelled the pilot as he cut the repulsors. The CAMELOT dropped like a stone as gravity took over. At the last second, the pilot reactivated the repulsors, but only enough so the impact didn't completely obliterate the landing gear. The gunship rocked as it slammed into the ground, and the stormtroopers nearby fell under the shockwave. "Yee-haw!" yelled pilot, and walked the CAMELOT through the stormtroopers, crushing those he could with the legs as Dan and the Reapers fired out the side doors.

Jalua finishing slashing a stormtrooper with both hands when she saw movement on top of the building. There was a Coalition flag being waved above by two people, one soldier and one looked civilian. They then placed the flag down on the roof and cheered. With the remaining stormtroopers taken prisoner, they began to cheer. Jalua held her wrist and a map of the planet appeared indicating that several targets had been taken and more battles was almost completed. Jalua switched off her lightsaber and walked to a mostly quiet section of the perimeter fence. "This is Jalua" she said into her helmet, taking a deep breath, "I need pick up". She turned her eye on a radial screen which allowed her to choose options by sight and her coordinates were broadcast out. Turning, she saw three shuttles in the distance turn towards her. Walking up on a pile of rubble, she got ready and when close, jumped inside. Gripping the hand rail she waited for the shuttles to reach orbit.

Dan saw the Empress jump into the shuttle. "BM forces, we're about done here. Assist the Coalition with any skirmishes that remain, and help police the Imps taken prisoner. All TIE Defenders, head to orbit. Out." He indicated to the pilot to head to orbit. The pilot nodded, and swung the CAMELOT into formation with the Empresses shuttle.
