Report from the Battle of Khoshu by Albin

| Exib |
Exib Moon, Yast, Athor System - In an FNN exclusive, we have obtained the copy of a previously classified Star
Law interception of the Battle of Khoshu:
"Cymon [Ym], Mrylinax [Um] and V'Sndyk [Vm] are on the Exib moon in the Athor system and have docked
with their teammates at the port city of Gulriddar. A local clan of
Yazirians, the Hooris, are a feared sect of religious fanaticism and
ultimately play a role in the objective the team seeks in Scree Fron. At
one point the three of them are fleeing the bar "Moonwatcher's Cave" after
it has been blown to bits by Hooris stormtroopers called 'Doghan' (pr. Do -
Gahn) - the three end up trapped at the domed top of a temple (Khoshu)
while the Doghan circle in air transports. Gunfire is blazing from all
around, blowing holes in the dome and cutting the guys to pieces.
Grappling hooks are hoisting climbers up to fight hand-to-hand. It all
looks hopeless.

At one point a jetcopter hovers into view. Its guns open up and blow huge
holes in the dome. Bravely, Mrylinax steps forward and takes careful aim
at the copter's cockpit - an arc of light slams into the hovering gunship,
instantly killing the pilot, and the bird plummets into a nearby building
creating a terrific fireball.
In the picture you'll see the jetcopter in the distance laying down
suppression fire, Mrylinax returning fire with his laser rifle, V'Sndyk off
to one side severely wounded, and Cymon trying talk the onboard computer
'OTTO' on their assault scout Vercingetorix to come in and pick them up.
Notice the freeze field placed in the background - it was used to help
frustrate any IR scans of the dome, making it tougher for the enemy to
train in on them."
