Chapter 2
After getting Alderani royal guard officer uniform and a blaster pistol from his room, Dodanna ran towards the staging area. When their, he spotted the flares on the hull of the ship that meant they were landing. Dodanna ran towards and commandeered a laat/i combat gunship. As soon as the ship hit the ground, the Laat/i blasted out of the landing bay. The endless expanses of Yavin IV's jungles stretched before them. The laat/i zoomed down until it was barely above treetop height. They ship zoomed over a row of battle droids marching through the jungle as its blasters shot dozens of beams down on the helpless droids. Dodanna told the pilot to seek bigger game. The gunship zoomed over the jungle until it found few Repulsortanks and quickly destroyed them with a barrage of missiles. Suddenly, the gunship found itself over a convoy of hailfire droids and two troop transports. Mentally calculating the trajectory of the trajectory of these troops, Dodanna realized they were aimed at flank of the republic troops. The only thing he could do was take quick and decisive action, which he did. After comming and informing the republic forces, he attacked. On his orders, the gunship zoomed in, blasted a troop carrier with missiles as its lasers blazed, cutting down hailfire droids and infantry. Before the droids could respond, the gunship fired again and wrecked the other troop transport and many droids. This time the hailfires responded with a barrage of blaster fire that blew away the cockpit. The gunship fell through the trees and slammed into the jungle floor.
Dodanna woke up with a start. His head hurt and he could smell burning fuel and hear the noise of animals. Standing up, he heard "are you okay sir?". Looking around, Dodanna spotted an alderani soldier sitting with him in the wreckage of the gunship "who are you" he asked. "Private Antilles, sir. I guess the others didn't make it". He was right, thought Dodanna as he looked around. The corpses of eight other alderani soldiers lay around, as well as the fact that the cockpit was totally vaporized and the two clone trooper gunners for the side cannons were dead. Dodanna got up, at a loss for what to do, while Antilles gathered up the soldiers ammo, weapons and rations. Finally, Dodanna said "I guess we should find our way back to the republic lines". "But we don't know where they are" answered Antilles "separatist jamming has blocked both our comlinks and our GPSs". Using Antilles's compass, the two republic troopers approximated the direction to the republic lines and set out.
After a couple ours of swatting off insects, scaring off small animals and shooting larger ones, both Antilles and Dodanna had seen enough of Yavin IV's wildlife to last them a lifetime.
