Drath, Nyx, and Zeevo were close. The intel the Red Moons agent gave them proved true so far, detailing the best path through the sandy and acid-doused wastes, around clutches of massive spiders, to the Maldrood remnant's base. After carefully surveying the compound, deactivating a probe droid, and mapping their exit, they were ready.
Drath raised a hand, waving his companions onward, signalling that each should target one of the Maldrood troopers below and smiled beneath the breathing apparatus that covered the lower half of his face. The best part of this gig was booty--in addition to paying his crew to knock off this backwater Imperial bunker, the Red Moons agent had promised they could keep any textiles and other goods they found within.
He thumbed off the safety on his blaster and advanced as well, his mind's eye playing back a running tally of credits, already counting his profits from selling contraband textiles in other parts of the galaxy....

Drath's commlink chirped again as his mates began to move closer to the trench, and he thumbed it on. A gruff voice crackled over the comm. It was his Red Moons contact. "Drath! You have to move now! Red Moons command just received word from our spy network that there's a Low Terrain Casualty field active around the Maldrood compound. You have to get below ground before the Imperials activate the LTC Field lasers and cut you down at your ankles!"
With no time to lose, Drath dove into the trench, opening fire as he fell, with Nyx and Zeevo right behind him. A few moments later, Vjun was two death troopers poorer. And this crew of pirates was one step closer to being much, much richer.
Note to the Judges:
I mis-measured and the highest point of terrain texture is 1.6 studs too tall. I re-shot the build and added additional narrative to contextualize the minifigures' move from up top to down below. Grade me down if you must. I had fun building to this prompt and that's what this game and community should be all about.
Not wasting one of my precious free Flickr membership uploads on measurement photos, so here's an alternative source:
