{[Space section- First Line of Defense]
When the Separatists' invasion of Kashyyyk caught the Republic flat-footed, a detachment of the 501st was sent in to stop the bleeding until reinforcements could arrive. It was a textbook suicide mission and we knew it. As we fought our way into Kashyyyk's atmosphere, most of us believed that the only way we'd be getting off this planet was in a body bag.
As the 501st finally broke through the CIS blockade over Kashyyyk, I took a long look back at the battle that continued to rage over the planet, and wondered why so many had to die for a bunch of walking carpets. Then I followed my orders, and turned planetward.}
When we arrived on Kashyyyk, things were just as bad as we'd feared. The droids had us outgunned, outmanoeuvred and outmanned by a five-to-one margin. What none of us had counted on was the Wookiees. We'd all heard the stories of course, but we'd never fought next to them, never seen them rip apart a droid with their bare hands. They were magnificent. Even so, it was still a suicide mission. At least it was, until Master Yoda arrived. Then it became a battle- a winnable battle.
With the timely arrival of Master Yoda, the 501st was able to hold the line against the CIS on Kashyyyk. We left as heroes. Years later, we'd return... as conquerors.

Quite aware I've got Yoda's lightsaber painfully close to the narrator's goolies, thank you. Too late to change it now.
