"All patrols be aware, atmospheric scans picked up something entering the atmosphere. Stay alert, over." Multiple affirmatives came in through the radio as patrols checked in their progress and positions.

Just another day on Mindoir, Lieutenant Lutece thought as he leaned back in his chair.

Mindoir wasn't a large outpost. It wasn't even a vital one. The only reason that the Resistance maintained a garrison there was simply for the reason that this was where they had struck a major blow to the First Order.

Three hundred Stormtroopers had their heels dug into the plant's soil. Three hundred guns aimed in every direction. Except straight up.

X and Y-Wings had bombarded the planets garrison. In the span of five minutes, three hundred of the First Orders finest had been reduced to ashes… at least, that's what the propaganda told everyone.

For those that had been there, people like the Lieutenant, they knew what really happened. The Resistance got lucky. They found the First Order with their pants down during a Company rotation. If it wasn't for their Cruiser on stand-by then they wouldn't
/have taken the base at all. But that wasn't the kind of story you told to get people enlisting. No the Resistance told a tale about daring heroes and incompetent villains. But the Lieutenant had faced the First Order before, and he knew they were
/anything but incompetent.

Sure they might have had a few idiotic officers, but even the Resistance had a few of those themselves.

A voice brought the Lieutenant out of his thoughts, "LT! You heard from Theta?"

Lutece scanned the names of squads that had checked in. Gamma, Zimma, Hotel… "No, they haven't checked in."

"They overdue?" A Comm Officer asked.

"Not yet, but they will be in two minutes," Lutece said as he grabbed a radio. "Theta come in, this is Crows Nest do you copy?"

There was silence.

"Theta do you copy, this is Crows Nest?"

"LT, I'm getting a transmission from Echo," Comm Officer Ridgra said as she held a radio to her ear.

"Patch me through," Lutece ordered her.

"Crows Nest do you copy?"

"This is Crows Nest, go ahead."

"Sir, those strange readings you told us about.. I think we just found the source of them."

Lutece felt his heart began to beat faster, "Explain."

"We found transports. Not a lot of them, just two-"

"Put the base on alert!" Lutece ordered.

"The engines are still by the size, can't be more than twenty of 'em. But the thing is, they don't have the First Order symbol on 'em."

Lutence stopped. If they didn't have the First Order symbol then maybe they weren't in trouble. "Can you get me an image of it?"

"The ship?"

"The symbol," Lutece clarified.

"'Course! Sending you it now."

The image took a second to upload. But when it did, Luteces heart almost stopped beating.

There was a triangle with a high summit in the center peak above a line with a triangle just below it all enclosed in a circle. And Lutece knew the symbol immediately.

"Sir! We have reports of blaster fire just outside of the base!"

"Gamma squad is saying they're under attack, requesting reinforcements!'

"We have men down in the courtyard!"

"What are they?!" Lutece heard a Marine shout followed by a torrent of blaster fire.

"It's the Knights of Ren," Lutece whispered.

"Motion detectors picking up hostile movement just outside the door!" Ridgra said as she looked down at the screen in front of her.

Lutece knew that they had tripped the motion detector on purpose. The knights were never so sloppy as to accidentally trip an alarm.

"Grab a gun!" He shouted at the men and women under his command. "Or don't. They don't care. They'll kill you just the same."

Lutece pulled out his sidearm and aimed at the door. Several of the others did the same with the rest cowered behind their stations and cried.

The doors opened on their own. No one was there. Just empty space. A diversion! Lutece realized too late.

Blaster bolts rained down from the ceiling and hit most of the officers.

Those that didn't die right them were easy pickings for the Knights swords. Not lightsabers, but actual swords. Vibroblades to be exact.

Lutece tried to hit one but they were fast. And they never stayed still for very long. Always moving. Always killing.

The last thing Lutece saw was the maskof a Knight,as it rammed it's sword into his gut.
