Restuss Chronicles (IV)

On July 9th, members of the TMB strike team took place in a fierce battle in Restuss, Rori.

Arriving on an Alliance dominated battlefield, small Imperial elements gathered from the city outskirts and crossed the city, reaching the Alliance line, outside the refugee camp. There, despite negative odds, Imperial forces managed to defeat the Rebel forces and held the line, thus blocking access to the Restuss ruins.

While the fighting stabilized for a short duration, Rebel reinforcements poured from the refugee camp, and soon, Imperial forces faced certain defeat despite a valiant and spirited fight. The situation became darker as Imperial reinforcements were matched by Rebel reinforcement thus, maintaining the numerical advantage in favor of the Rebellion. In addition medical support on the battlefield gave a strong advantage to the Rebels. Despite successful targeted raids of Alliance high value targets and on battlefield medics, Imperial forces were forced to admit defeat on The Line.

Still, despite the grim outlook, change of tactics on the Imperial side enabled a successful penetration in the ruined city thanks to a flanking maneuver. This maneuver helped disorganize Rebel forces and a Rebel hunting party thus got ambushed. The victory was short-lived however as the entire Rebel force fell back to the city and destroyed the Imperial side.
