(The main spearhead has already begun. :P)

The Forward Base had shield defenses, and manned turrets around the perimeter. The Republic fired back while heavy units got in position to try to take out the tanks. They couldn't hold out forever, but their defenses were holding out for now.

Captain Ash's Company was still nearly intact, the rest were at half strength having lost many soldiers in the fighting and the retreat to the base. Counting Ash's Company, now under Odak's command, there were 2 other half companies that remained at the FOB.

Luke did his best to help in the defense. He would've been better suited to charge into the enemy's position and cutting them up but there were just too many of them and he sensed Sith among the troopers. So he stayed back and used the Force Defend when he could to protect the parts of the base the shields left vulnerable.

"Blast it, they've got an entire Brigade out there." Zenra muttered. "We've only got half a battalion to defend this base."

"The Force is with us." Luke stated. He then added. "Lt. Colonel Bruxud will send reinforcements, we need only hold out."

"If you say so, Commander." Zenra muttered.

Rossnath soon approached Commander Arthis. "I sense Jedi within the Republic Forward Base." He noted as he watched the bombardment.
