Report:
Village Cinemas requested an Imperial presence to maintain law and order for a 3 day period during the launch week of Star Wars: The Rise of Starwalker, the final installment in a fantasy holo trilogy set in a post-modern galaxy after the unlikely fall of our glorious Galactic Empire.
Troopers assembled at the Deployment Zone (DZ) at agreed times for operational briefings. Security was heightened and local guides required to navigate the maze that is VC Southland back office. Change facilities were excellent and provided an excellent location for pre- and post-troop high jinx – but most importantly it made a nice change from seeing spandexed individuals in carparks.
With Tatooine like weather conditions outside, troopers hoping for a cool respite were treated to relatively better conditions within the operational area. Helmet cooling system failures for TK27120 and TK27777 gave the troopers the opportunity to condition for future deployments to the Naboo swamps.
Whilst Friday night was relatively busy, trooper chatter indicates that Saturday and Sunday were less so. Amongst the high-fives and propaganda opportunities, troopers handed out chocolate, a local sweet delicacy. This proved particularly popular amongst the younger citizens – perhaps only until they tasted it, and found it bitter, not sweet.
All in all, an enjoyable troop which closed with TK27777 officially “patching” DZ51000 and DZ86236 into the Garrison.
Casualties: Nil
Equipment malfunction: TK27120’s helmet fans (Friday 20/12); TK27777’s helmet fans (Sunday 22/12);
Injuries: ID27777’s feelings – thanks TK27120
Happy People: Many – especially those little kids instructed by the kindly Imperial troops to consume the free chocolate right before bedtime.
Mission Status: Complete
