"Contact right side! Someone get some fire on that son of nerf herder!" the Shadow trooper shouted as blaster fire from the resistance fighters riddled their positions. Jinn and his squad of shadow troopers had be successful in their surprise attack, but there was an unnerving gap between the amount of men intelligence said the rebels had here and the actual amount. Jinn spun his saber in brilliant displays of control, the red saber creating a light show as it deflected the beams of energy back at their origin. The sith was already beginning to feel the rush of dark energies that were flowing off both the rebels and his own shadow trooper squad. Their anger, fear and passions were enhancing Jinn's own feelings, sending him deeper and deeper into an almost drug like high that would fuel him to kill many of these pathetic excuses for soldiers.
Jinn slowly advanced on the positions of the Rebels, the sounds of distance explosions notifying the Sith that the invasion had indeed begun. Using the force, Jinn threw a mass of energy a small house that the rebels were taking positions in. The side of the structure exploded into an elaborate confetti of wood and steel, exposing all of the rebels inside and killing some with splintered shrapnel. "Advance on the cowards my brothers!" Jinn called to his men. He did not hold the same passion for the men as other soldiers did for other soldiers, he merely saw them as brothers of the dark, men who would work to spread darkness and chaos throughout the galaxy. The troopers followed their orders, standing from their positions of cover in a firing line manner and advancing quickly on the house, their weapons not seizing to fire as they moved forward. The rebels tried to run backwards and escape the storm of frighteningly accurate fire, but they would only die tired as they were mowed down in rapid successions. One after the other the rebels fell, smoking holes gaping in their backs as they laid dead and motionless on the floor of the building. Jinn simply watched, bathing in the darkness, as his men moved forward and made entrance into the house through the massive hole in its Eastern wall. The sith looked around his surroundings, the moister community was large, small houses and some pit style homes were scattered around the desert plains. The troopers would need to clear them one by one to make sure no rebels were hiding in wait...that was something Jinn would not want to sit around for.
With a press of his communicator Jinn signaled the fleet, "Lord @[member="Velok"], I require additional troopers on my location to help clear the moister community." Jinn spoke calmly through his comm as he continued to observe the community. For a moment his eyes rested on the two fallen troopers that had been killed when the rebels first started firing. This was only the beginning, more deaths were sure to come as things began heating up.
"Captain Tora." Jinn called loudly to the leader of the shadow troopers inside the building, his breather making deep growls as he stood in the desert heat, his bare back glimmering from his sweat.
"Yes sir?" the trooper called back as he maneuvered his way through carnage and debris.
"I sense that there are more rebels hiding in wait, I have called for additional support. However, I want your men to begin setting up the mortar and E-Web emplacements. The community wasn't clear yet, but the Sith could feel that there was a plan to attack in the works by the rebels. Plus, why search the buildings when you could just make them explode?
