CPT Okera Vekra
Apex Predator - Kashyyyk
Kashyyyk cried out in pain, the song of suffering sung by its goddess and people. The trip was quiet, the usual jovial company aware of what they were getting into. They had all seen images of the planet burning, of the people in chains, the multiple genocidal acts, and most damming of all the mass graves. Every single one of them going down there knew the hell they would be going into, they knew they would be fighting clankers and Trodashian mercs. Akul was late to the scene but every single being in the unit held the flame inside them and was more than ready to show those beasts just who the apex predator was. The republic had been pushing through at every opportunity that was prevented and was making every attempt to liberate the planet from its oppressive occupants. After the disaster that was Ryloth barely a month ago, the unit wanted to prove themselves and were out for blood.
Despite the suffering, the locals were surprisingly welcoming to the incoming unit. Okera insisted that the unit follow the rituals and the unit was not one to protest this was the Wookies' land and they needed to be welcomed in. The first day and night were spent with the clan through many rituals and a few pranks on the nieve outsiders but the Wookies were more than happy for those of Akul to hunt in their lands. It was just before dawn when the unit geared up and headed out, each platoon moving off into different locations to hunt their prey. A non-conventional army was always difficult to fight because of how unpredictable they were, and the Hsskor dominion was no different. They were just as likely to fight among themselves as well as the Wookies, their movements and plans were erratic and sometimes irrational in the grander idea of war, but that was how most irregular armies operated.
That made the hunt oh-so-more appealing, Okera had fought this fight plenty of times, even before the founding of the GAR. Cartel groups, terror cells, civil uprisings, and even private government forces. During the worst of the war, she'd even been on the other side, trying to organise and command irregulars. So they knew just how dangerous this operation was, the risk she and her men were under with not just the enemy but also the terrain and fauna. Trandoshan slavers were particularly difficult to deal with, an already vicious species, corrupted by the rot and willing to do anything to survive and please the scorekeeper. Okera had briefed her unit on more than one horror story from her time in the Judiciary. Akul was more than ready for what would come for them, and the hunt was on.
