His head finally stopped bobbing for three seconds and a flare of yellow fire shot backward with a fweeesh of gas. He had a habit of bobbing his head slightly as he counted but it never affected his aim. At fifteen seconds Cham knelt on one knee and balanced the missile launcher on his right shoulder, pressing his cheek plate against the tube, left hand steadying the brace. They counted down on the synchronized timer projected on their HUDs. Hit hard enough to look convincing, but don’t wipe everyone out because we need at least one survivor.” He paused and Beviin heard him swallow. He wondered what fate had befallen her father and decided to wait for her to tell him in her own time.Īt least he’d been able to leave a message for Medrit. Mando society had always been that way but Beviin sometimes looked at aruetii kids of the same age and felt that thirteen was far too young to take on that kind of responsibility.Īnd if he’d told her so, he was sure she’d have slugged him without a second thought.
The girl was in that awkward gap between becoming an adult at thirteen and a wife at sixteen, but she was certainly a completely competent soldier. As she moved her head slowly, scanning, Beviin caught the green-lit tracking shot in the line of icons just to one side of his field of vision.īriika had done a fine job of training the kid.

The Yuuzhan Vong advance could be plotted by the wake of silent comm stations it left behind. So convincing the New Republic that they?re fighting on the same side is a tall order.He could hear the ops staff tasking early warning craft and fighters over five cities in the northern hemisphere, collating reports of enemy warships spotted-and bases on worlds toward the edge of the galaxy that had simply stopped responding to signals. Trouble is, no one trusts a man with Fett?s reputation. Since he?s a practical man, he?s determined help the resistance beat the Yuuzhan Vong?even if it means working with a Jedi agent. Now Fett has to choose between his honor and the survival of his people. When the Yuuzhan Vong invasion force sweeps into the galaxy, the Mandalorians find they?re on the wrong side?fighting for an alien culture that will bring about the end of their own.
