{[Space section- Preventive Measures]

Although the Clone Wars were over, some people never seemed to get the message. The worst case of denial was Gizor Dellso, a Geonosian Separatist who'd somehow escaped Lord Vader's attempts to wipe out the remnants of the CIS. Lord Vader tracked him to Mustafar and brought us in to finish the job. It seemed like a simple enough mission. But when we saw the fleet of droid ships hovering over the planet, we suddenly realised that Dellso's denial mechanisms were a little more dangerous than we'd imagined.

The slight whiff of nostalgia the 501st had enjoyed fighting the droid fleet over Mustafar had already grown sour by the time we'd established orbital positions. Now it was time to find out what this was all about.}

By the time we'd made our way down to the molten surface of Mustafar, it was apparent that Dellso had been a busy little bug. All by his lonesome, he'd found a previously hidden droid factory, fired it up and cranked out his own private army of battle droids. Needless to say, this got the men of the 501st... a little hot under the helmet, and not just because of all the lava. Truth be told, we'd all had our fill of those gearheads during the war, and we couldn't stomach the thought of going through another one. So we blew them up- blew up the droids, blew up the factory... damn near blew up the planet.

The destruction of the mining facility put an end to the thoughts of any droid rebellion. For the first time in years, the men of the 501st could relax, and get about the business of maintaining an Empire, rather than building one.

My illustration for the second Imperial ground mission (third in the Imperial portion, eleventh overall), plus the text for the preceding space mission. The Imperial 'hero' for Mustafar in Conquest mode is Anakin Skywalker, but he's been wearing the armour and name of Darth Vader for years now by this point, and he does not appear to have taken direct part in the fighting in any case. As such, I elected to depict our narrator against Dellso's droid army.

Up to the viewer whether the battle droid is standing in for the Assault droid, the Engineer droid or the Assassin droid. And yes, I realise the magnaguards in-game used Bulldog RLRs instead of electrostaffs. I figured the staff was cooler.
