Mission 1:

Original Objective: Recover intelligence from an abandoned Separatist command bunker on planet Niral 3.
New Objective: Defend a captured communications outpost
New Objective: Protect the engineering team as they get the comms back online.

The squad consisting of the PCs plus newly knighted Jedi Sadaki Kirusai and four clone troopers suffered a missile attack on approach to the comm tower, and went down into a mountain lake. They regrouped in the forest and made their way to the objective on foot. The Jedi took half the engineering team towards the nearby command bunker to complete the primary mission while the PCs were tasked with restoring the defeated communications outpost. After restoring power, the comm tower's automatic defenses activated, including a small battallion of droids. The party fought off the first wave, and then were able to signal for help. Sadaki and the rest of the clones returned to assist as Republic gunships arrived to mop up the remaining droids.
One of the clones, CT-RH-0027, a slicer specialist took the name "Odi" and picked up additional training as a result of the new motivation his expanded identity brought him.

Bandulu system, the remnants of several Separatist fleets and droid battalions have retreated and are currently undergoing repairs and reorganization.

Shuttle down to the surface with the 501st and General Skywalker.
Assault the Separatist base.
Primary Objective (Skywalker): Shut down the base's shield generator
Primary Objective (Skywalker): Capture Techno Union leader Amvarha Russk


Party Objective: Recover Dr. Doran Kradu, Republic Weapons Specialist, suspected to be held in base's detention center.
Bonus Objective: Capture Separatist VIP Baron Lantel, human wearing opulent blue robes, in the Detention Block.

The rest of the briefing is spent going over the layout of the base. It is set on a pair of large plateaus against a mountain, which makes it difficult to assault from one side, and makes for an uphill battle on the other. The two plateaus are connected by a prefab bridge. It is likely the bridge will be destroyed during the assault, by the Separatists, to make it more difficult to cross from one side to the other. The Jedi suspect there are tunnels burrowed beneath the plateaus to allow transport of droids and vehicles back and forth, without the bridge.

The northern plateau houses the droid factories and command center, while the southern plateau hosts the shield generator, non-droid barracks and other living quarters, including the detention center. The Republic’s plan is to attack the command center first and draw Separatist forces away from the shield generator, allowing a second, smaller group to infiltrate and disable it, and allow close air support.

Your squad is part of the (1d2)[2] attack group, and will be attached to a squad cobbled together from seasoned 501st clones whose respective squads were decimated in prior campaigns.

The party shuttled down with the 501st, but were ambushed on the streets on the way to the shield generator. After overcoming the ambush, the party, led by Jedi Sadaki Kirusai, broke off from the 501st squad and infiltrated the detention center housing Dr. Doran Kradu. After slicing the computer systems and finding his location, they broke him out of his cell and were intercepted by a Separatist squad intent on recovering the doctor and evacuating with him. The party managed to hold off the Separatist force, led by Separatist Noble Baron Lantel, and escape to the roof. The Republic transport had been destroyed by the Separatists, but the party was able to hold off Lantel long enough to hotwire his transport and escape with it. General Skywalker and the 501st ultimately captured the Separatist outpost and Techno Union VIP Amvarha Russk, but Lantel escaped in the confusion.
