Holee shit. That is a fast way to deal with troops, using their own grenades against them.

I'm starting to Really like this guy.
Funny thing is that as I've work on this, I've come to the conclusion that there is a damn good reason why Jedi tend to use lightsabers. Give someone with that kind of ability more potent equipment and the willingness to use it and his powers creates a serious power imbalance.

But it is so much fun to write

Twitch grinned as the flashes of cannon fire ripped through a hasty roadblock the stormtroopers had thrown up, the armor of the troopers providing no protection from the heavier weapons of the Juggernaut as it rocketed full tilt through the city.

"Dyre," he heard One yell, "We've got incoming, Bombers from the look of the profile."

"Damn it Tank," came the response as the armored vehicle plowed through the side of a building, shuddering for a moment before powering its way clear.

"On it," Twitch yelled as he spun the turret and brought the selector up, "Knew I was saving the rockets for something."

"And we knew we were keeping you around for something more than your cheery disposition," Hammer cracked while strafing the street ahead to force the traitors back.

"Okay, inbound bomber at full attack speed," the demolitions expert whispered as the wheels in his mind began to turn, "Dumbfire only rockets, no proximity fuses."

He triggered the heavy laser cannon into one of the buildings with one hand while the other seemed to dance upon the console.

"The enemy is to low for standard targeting in this environment," he continued in a monotone letting the data fill his thoughts, "Timing the detonation should work correctly, especially if I can disable the..."

"Here they come!" Tank declared as the howl of the twin ion-engines reached their ears.

"Well, here goes nothing," Twitch stated as he fired the rockets.

Four contrails as the building he'd been coring with the cannons collapsed with the weapons passing through, the disabled impact detonators letting them pass through the weakened structure seconds before it collapsed to continue at an angle into the city where the building blocked the paths of the targeting computers.

The countdown reached zero and the horizon blossomed into a fireball as the rockets detonated along the TIE's flightpath.

They were anti-personnel and armor weapons, Twitch knew that, the particulars of their systems made that clear and they had been designed to basically clear the road on impact for allied forces to close in unhampered. However, the large blast radius', shrapnel, and an ion pulse core were just as dangerous in the sky if you could set them off on their target.

"Good shooting," Dyre commented as the blue flash of the ion burst faded at the rooftops that shielded the enemy from sight, "But one's still up there."

No time for another shot, the launchers were still in their reload cycle, not to mention the calculations and programming would take to long.

"Not good."

A flash above as the solar panels glinted in the sunlight, a moment of blue, the signal of the heavy bomb being launched as he closed his eyes in preparation for the end.

Then the entire world shook.

I've decided to work through at least one major battle with this that will hopefully end up being epic.

The force flowed through him, and he followed its guidance.

Yoda had once told the younglings something that once more pushed into his conscious mind.

Feel, don't think.

A bomber had survived his companions attack, something that could easily kill them.

Alec had to do something, but what.

Again the words of the venerable master filled his thoughts.

Do or do not. There is no try.

He closed his eyes and let the force guide him as he let out a breath.

The universe seemed to slow around him and the warmth touched him, almost as the song of a thousand birds in perfect harmony amidst the smoke and ashes of the battlefield while the screams died out.

His hand reached almost instinctively to the rifle he'd acquired off of one of his foes and brought it up while dropping into a crouch.

For a mere moment he could feel the thoughts of the Bombers pilot as the black gloved hands readied to pull the trigger and release the bombs that would spell the doom of the other members of his squad.

He would not let that happen.

Trust in the Force.

Memories seemed to cloud his thoughts as he deactivated the safety and took in a deep breath.

Air filled his lungs as possibilities seemed to blossom in his mind, trillions of possible variants of what he could do at this point.

His finger caressed the trigger as if it were a lover and then squeezed tight as time and space seemed to snap back to normal, a bolt of energy sizzling across the sky.

The bolt collided with one of the heavy bombs the instant its launcher began to cycle open.

The perfect shot, one in trillions.

And the craft detonated from within as the high yield warhead did as expected in an enclosed space, triggering the rest of its load with sympathetic reactions as that section of the sky seemed to burn like fire, a flash of blinding light and the bomber was gone, only an expanding ball of smoke and fire left in its place hanging in the clear sky as if it were a miniature sun set there by some mythical god.

And then he gasped as power surged from above, it felt as if something vile had been released he looked upwards while words failed him.

A Super Star Destroyer was in orbit...

Well you certenly seem to be on your way to epic.

And you weren't kidding about the power imbalance. Taking out a bomber with a rifle? Shees louise.

Although compared to Galens little slap starfighters out of the sky like gnats trick in Force Unleashed, pulling a "Use The Force Luke" was something that I'd figured would work well enough.

Ohh it worked very well, no critisism from me. :D

It was just that "little" thing shows how much potential there is in a force user.

It does still make the case for force users being the supers of the setting.

I want to see Delta Squad and maybe even Scorch.
Unfortunately, I haven't read the novels which have them and never got to actually play the game. Watched it played, but never got my hands on a copy of my own.

"An Imperial Fleet entered orbit," came the cry from one of the sensor stations as Rex watched the starfield from the bridge, "The Enforcer and the Vengeance is with them."

"The Vengeance," the rogue ARC commented, "Jerec?"

He paused for a moment while glancing over the displays, "Damned Inquisitors."

Keying the fleet wide comms, he took a slow and shallow breath.

"All ships, this is Rex," the clone spoke, "Prepare to jump, we're moving to engage the Traitors."

He paused for a moment, as he transmitted direct orders to the other ships before bringing up the shipwide only channel.

"All hands," Rex ordered, emotion vanishing from his face, "Battle stations."

He released the breath as he keyed off the comms.

"And may the force be with us."

I'm still waiting for Rex and Ahsoka to play a larger role in things. Especially their first encounter with Vader where they realize it's Anakin in the walking iron lung from hell.

A moment that will be very painful for all concerned.

The current battle is the end of the first part of this (Though several parts will be filled in as I go), and the second will include Vader (The Revelation of who Vader is being the end of that part).

I just feel the need to work out the basics of the lower ranked characters and essentially give them their first major victory.

Fair enough, but I'm really looking forward to that part. You know as horrified as they'll be, it won't be a leap for Ahsoka and the 501st to pretty much figure this is all Palpatine's fault. I really want to see them solidify the need to make him bleed. Badly.

Epsilon grimaced as he felt the ship shudder before jerking wildly into real space.

The Twilight was still leading the spearhead, being wrenched from hyperspace momentarily early hadn't stopped that.

"Sir," yelled one of the other clones, "They have two Interdictors!"

He stood there for a mere instant before a grin crossed his lips.

"Fake heavy damage and listing," he ordered while turning to the weapons station, "Inform Rex that it's faked, but tell him that I have a plan."

"Understood," came the affirmative from the comms officer as the older clone straightened his uniform.

"Get all of the SPHA into the hanger bay," came the next order as he watched the fleet accelerate forwards, moving towards the planet through the enemy formations, forcing the enemy Star Destroyers to check their fire rather than risk friendly fire leaving light resistance as fighters seemed to begin their dances amidst the almost one sided turbolaser fire, "Get us underneath the Enforcer."

He grinned as his ship was seemingly forgotten in the fray, attention being given to the ships actively shooting rather than the one that was seemingly damage.

"Evacuate the bridge," Epsilon ordered, "transfer command to the emergency stations."

A pause as all eyes turned to him.

"I'm not joking," he ordered, "Move it people!"

And then the rush began.

Rex watched as the Guardian seemed to accelerate for a moment as its haphazard course brought it directly underneath the super Star Destroyer, command tower being sheered off as most of its bulk was inside the larger crafts cavernous hangerbay.

He realized what Epsilon had planned as the aged and battle scarred Venator's hanger bay opened and the SPHA's opened fire with their turbolasers inside the larger crafts shields and armor...

The blue glow of the station keeping engines of the craft sputtered and died moments later as both fleets seemed to just watch what had happened for a moment.

Without pausing, the Guardian rolled from its place within the Enforcer and kicked in its landing thrusters to push away from the SSD, and at the same time push the failing hulk on a new course.

The traitor fleet had been positioned closer to lunar orbit and had still been moving to encircle the launch sights the strike team could use from the planet, however that same starting position now created a greater disaster as the Enforcer slipped up against the gravity well of the moon and started its swan dive to destruction.

"Prepare the ground forces for deployment," he ordered as the remainder of the fleet pushed on, still deploying fighters, "Hopefully Theta can hold out until we can."

When is this taking place? I didn't think Super Star Destroyers entered service until after the Battle of Yavin in Episode IV.

Well, one's in the Dawn of Defiance campaign and there are a few others. The Executor-class came into service shortly after the Battle of Yavin, others came into service earlier.

Alec dropped to street level moments before someone opened fire on his position with an E-Web.

The stormies seemed to be learning not to get to close with either the Juggernaut or himself. However, their choices created other opportunities.

Reaching out with the force, he located the position of the weapon and slipped a grenade free from his utility belt.

Tossing the weapon, he used the force to carry it higher.

A momentary scream signaled that he'd succeeded before the grenade detonated followed a mere fraction of a second later by the generator going up as he dove for cover.

The uncontrolled detonation ripped through buildings and sent debris upwards in an eerie copy of a volcanic eruption while he bolted away through the alleys while covering his eyes from the flash of light that followed.

Diving aside, the shockwave blasted past him and into the open while he spotted what was waiting for him.

"They brought a tank?"
