[K20 - Manpha - AE] Blasting Deserters to Dust

The Reef-Shard was once a Republic Corvette, serving diplomats during the Clone Wars. After the Clone Wars ended, a band of pirates captured the ship. They modified "The Shard" to bomb settlements into paying them protection money.

Those days are fortunately over, now it serves the Ashlon Empire. Ground forces on Manpha were struggling with rounding up deserters, who often saw the golden shoulder pads coming, and were able to hide away, or move to harass another settlement.

"Orbital Bombardment is ready at your command sir." the orders were clear, deserters had to be eliminated. Captain Henk felt a stir of remorse, as he gave to order to fire upon the former imperial soldiers' position. "Fire."

The battery was already aimed at the coordinates, soon the target was ablaze with laser fire, after a few minutes the dust cleared around the crater were a small settlement once stood.

"17% accuracy rating." The young officer reported. Henk brushed the thought of collateral casualties aside. "That is abysmal, we need to recalibrate the cannons, we need at least 30% accuracy!" The young officer nodded, "yes sir!"
