Guerilla Warfare
Commander 55 talks with Flak via hologram, and 55 reveals that their analysis of the prototype ship has concluded that it carries a dish meant to harness a large amount of power, but doesn’t seem to have the parts to do anything at the time. 55 then insists he return to Coruscant, and Flak allows it. Flak decides to send Aqua to invade the planet of Zepho, and 55 tells him to send Glasden’s #2 named Brutus, an expert marksman and former member of Racket’s Regime, with Aqua.

Racket meets with the returned Aqua. Racket says he understands what Aqua has gone through losing all his friends from the clone wars, but tells him that the Brigade needs an expert commander like him, and that he should do it for Rico. Aqua accepts the mission to take the newest produced clone unit, consisting of only 1,000 men, to Zepho.

After some consideration, Aqua addresses his new unit. They will hit a Zepho village filled with Stormtroopers, and secure it to prevent a coutner attack. To get onto the planet, they will copy the tactic Rico once used and drop onto the planet via escape pods. The first landing will be of only 200 clones.

Battle Results
The dropping pods catch the Stormtroopers in the village by surprise, and begin scattered throughout the village. Shooting and losses begin at once, but the two sides eventually work out something resembling battlelines. One clone saves his squad by eliminating a Shock-trooper, and Aqua’s men soon coalesce and push to take the whole village.

Aqua’s men split up into columns to push forward between buildings. One clone eliminates a machine gunner, and another grenades a shock-trooper. One squad, however, comes under heavy fire and gets pinned down and wiped out. Such skirmishes continue throughout the village for some time, the clones slowly taking control.

Eventually, the clones surround and eliminate the last remaining Stormtroopers, winning the battle.

Epilogue
That night, Aqua and his men occupy the village. Sgt. Raptor report to Aqua that 162 clones of 200 are dead. Aqua laments the losses, but confirms that Brutus is on the way. Raptor, however, says that their scouts report that possibly an entire Stormtrooper company is on its way.

Aqua orders defenses set up in the village, but also scouts to go and find the mysterious clone unit supposedly on the planet, as joining with them may be their only hope.
