Ambushing my platoon gave the Wookiees only the tiniest of victories.

Janzor and the sergeants went into battle with a secret. They knew that a second invasion force landed on Kashyyyk a few hours after us, a much larger force with Arakyd XR-85 tank droids, TIE crawlers, and AT-ST scouts.

The Empire had launched a full invasion and had already captured most of a continent by the time Strander, Yennich, and I made our final dash to freedom. In the end, it turned out that Central Command sent my platoon to distract the Wookiees and lead them away from the real invasion. If we survived, we had orders to return to the drop zone and join the larger army. We’d done our job splendidly; the Empire gave us medals and promoted Strander and me to first sergeant, a position I never hoped to reach. Posthumous “medals and honor throughout the Empire” were awarded to the others.

Because we were the last survivors of a heroic effort, Strander and I were sent back to the cruiser. We would see no more action in this campaign. It occurred to me that maybe I had seen too much action. Maybe I was ready for a quiet life on some unknown planet in a distant corner of the galaxy - some quiet and orderly place. But then I realized that order came through the guiding hand of the Empire. I could never retire - my destiny remained inseparably connected with the fate of the Empire.

Pax Emperica, how I loved it!
