Operation 'The Mandalorian Terror', phase second.

Moving on position.

Dear datapad,

Orders arrived.

We have to do second phase of rescue captives from Mandalorian Terrorist Slavers, which is killing their leader.

We've moved on position.

It was not so easy as it seemed, for we lacked credits for arranging transport to destination.

We used our creativity to do a minor bug hunt and resource gather.

Then we flew to destination, and being hidden under cloak we've penetrated deep into enemy territory.

Then we've scouted enemy, few times, almost dying during that recon.

Now we're awaiting for rest of our team.





Not enough.

Force Balance.

I've succesfully added 'Jedi Resistance' to my Force Powers. It's only basics, will be improved.

Working toward 'Focused Insight', this requires more focus in 'Balance' category of Force Powers.

108 000 Credits.

Over 108 000 credits were gained and almost all used.

Mostly on Lightsaber Augmentations (better Crystal, better Alacrity Augmentation), but also on Alacrity Augmentation for our Prototype Ear Graph.

Alacrity Rating on my stats during training rose from 70 to 80 points, due to higher quality Augments. 80 points Alacrity is faster reaction time by 3.74%, thus also speed in combat. At least at this moment, for technology and warfare changes.

It's less trouble to use high quality Augmentation Modules - due to modular design of cybernetic / nano interface - they were smartly exchanged without need of surgery.

Stronger Lightsaber.

My skill with lightsaber melee combat improved noticeably.

No longer rushing to kill opponents one by one in turns, engagements seem 'fluid' and 'coordinated' 2 / 3 of the time. I focus on melee combat, that's why.

Need to follow with better equipment soon (once i 'earn' 108 000 credits). I do not know what it will be, perhaps lightsaber crystal or few.

I'll keep practicing melee as long as i need, and will return to it occasionally. For now i can handle it adeptly, better than beginner, less than master. But war with stupidity is much more than melee, training or not.

Approach routes.

Once cloaked, it's important to find scouting point and analyze which approach route (for lightsaber assault) is best, safest, quickest. Considering terrain, enemy arms and positions, perception exposure.

Then to execute it properly, deciding when and if to activate kinetic ward (most often last), when and if to deepen cloak (usually first), when and if to rush with speed (usually second).

To coordinate it well it is also a skill.

Later i'll consider other options and maneuvers, i have much to train.
