ToEG: Go For Backup!

Lord Vader

Initial scouting reports suggest heavy rebel pressence in this area. Further to a confused attack during poor visibility conditions we have since encountered some determined resistance from forces of a chaotic though admirably implacable nature, followed by running battles with very odd creatures that seemed to just appear out of the trees themselves!

I formally request assistance from the scouting element of the 501st, specifically our ratters and mounted scout troopers. If some AT-STs can be spared for heavy support that would also be useful.

Thank you for any assistance you can spare my lord.

The forces are being dispatched to aid you, and I am coming also. Some things I must deal with personally.

Also a notification - a bounty hunter has been dispatched to your location. Do not attempt to interdict him, he has his own mission. A man of your qualities will probably barely notice his presence.

The Emporer Protects.
