Explosions and gunfire littered the swamp. Rave struggled to keep his footing as he made his way towards the tunnel complex. It was a mixed blessing, the battle. The bog moon of Bogden was certainly not the best place to set up a communications outpost, let alone attack. Still, Rave was on this mission because he'd finally reached the status of Jedi Knight, and thus was hastily made a Jedi Commander. In reality, the clone commander did most of the talking, but that didn't stop Rave from making some decisions of his own. He had found the perfect place to land (a small clearing, surrounded by swamp bushes that provided some camouflage), and he was technically leading the attack. Using the power of the Force, he was guiding his clone troopers through the winding tunnels that eventually led to the central hub. They were forced into the tunnels because the outside shell of the complex was protected by scores of missile droids and other anti-air installations. Attempting to go over the complex was suicide.
Rave's forces were greeted most unwelcomely by a platoon of battle droids, which would've been worse if those blasted droids weren't so expendable. Blaster fire broke out, creating a laser-laced no man's land. Rave considered sending in jet troopers to attack from above, but the thought of them being shot down by the missile droids made him shudder. And this wasn't the only tunnel entrance attempting to be breached; the central hub was connected by dozens of seemingly identical tunnels. This battle would last a while, and Rave was too impatient to let this drag on any longer. Whipping out his lightsaber, he turned to Commander Duaki.
"Duaki, I'm going to try and take out some turrets around the entrance, it could allow some aerial strikes through. Any commandos to spare?"
"Only a few, sir. Good luck."
"No such thing, Commander!" And with that, he rallied what commandos were nearby and began his trek through the swamp.
