Fortress Of Ryloth

Fortress of Ryloth
Following the hard-fought, but decisive victory on Geonosis, Rico gives his men five days to rest and replenishing their numbers and resources from their new planet before they move out against the neighboring Twi'Lek home planet of Ryloth. Ryloth was a hotly contested planet during the Clone Wars, with millions of clones having died to take it, so this mission is personal for Rico. Ryloth is classified as a small planet by the Empire, meaning it will be more heavily guarded than smaller outposts, but conquering it will also bring larger material rewards.

Battle Results
Rico's Brigade attacks the fortress with armored support, but the Empire's AT-AT quickly closes the distance and causes chaos among Rico's tank lines. While half the force concentrates fire on the AT-AT, the other half attacks the fortress, using their AT-TEs for artillery fire. The AT-AT eventually goes down, and Rico himself leads the charge into the fortress once its outer defenses are depleted. A small group of Sandtroopers hold out on an elevated platform for some time, getting several kills. But after some grenade warfare, Rico's Brigade bum-rushes the platform to wipe them out, winning the day with moderate casualties.
