[Deterrence] 

Deep in the dense undergrowth of Xala stands a fortified supply outpost of the Ashlon Empire. From here, stormtroopers monitor the surrounding trade routes and secure a vital supply zone. The morning begins quietly. Patrols move through the compound while an officer scans the area from the tower. A few squads are tasked with digging trenches to best counter an impending attack. Sensors detect movement in the forest, but nothing approaches the base. The rebels know this place by now. They know the outpost is well-defended. Two stormtroopers secure the entrance, while other soldiers patrol the perimeter. Today, no one dares to attack. The outpost remains firmly in Imperial hands.
