Imperial Retaliation

As was inevitable, the Empire retaliates against Rico's Brigade for recent defeats, sending an army of Stormtroopers, led by Sith Assassin Trip Hansen to the Vergesso Asteroid Field space station. With Rico and his fleet too far away, it's up to Racket to defend the station.

Battle Results
The Imperials, who outnumber the clones roughly 3-1, attack from two sides of the space station, Trip Hansen leading the group closest to the command center. The defenses on the other side soon fall, and this B group of Stormtroopers tries to join Hansen's A group by moving through a hangar that connects the two areas. The clones in the hangar prove problematic for the Imperials, though, and uncharacteristically for a Sith, Hansen leads the charge to try to reinforce B group in the hangar but gets incapacitated by blaster fire quickly. The Stormtroopers soon give up on the hangar and attack the control room where Racket is. Racket's group controls the choke-point of the stairs to the control room, though, with automatic fire and grenades. The surviving clones from the hangar try and fail to flank the Stormtroopers, and Racket and his two minigun-wielding clones go down when Racket goes on the offensive in desperation to finish the fight and tend to the wounded. The offensive does prove effective, though, when more clones from the hangar join. Rico's Brigade wins, destroying one of only a few Imperial fleets, and capturing Trip Hansen, but the cost is high; only a few clones remain, and Racket is injured.
