Star Force: Penance (SF49)

Once the big machine collapsed and crushed its own legs, Sarrew moved them on towards the next one, taking down three more before they met up with an even larger enemy walker and the odds became a bit more even…but with time and the assistance of his escorts, Sarrew’s super dragon downed it as well, beginning to put some order to the ground battle.
That was when he got orders to travel to another location as quickly as mechanically possible. He responded appropriately, turning the super dragon to the right and walking forward as he saw a plume of missiles streak across the sky and land on another super dragon ahead, blasting into its armor so badly that when the smoke finally cleared the impact divots were obvious…meaning significant damage.
That super dragon fired back on its target…only that wasn’t what had fired the missiles at it. As Sarrew brought his super dragon into play and assisted the other with the takedown along with hundreds of plasma orbs and streamers from the smaller walkers, he finally saw the missile firing target on the horizon, far outside their current range and to which the military commander was eventually working them.
The machine was monstrous, and for the first time in his military career Sarrew felt the inferior inside the Ho’shemon.
But he pushed the thought aside. The other drivers out there had less protection than he did, and a lot of them were less experienced. If he was going to give into panic what hope did they have?
So Sarrew set himself to the task at hand and continued downing targets all the way up to the Type-2 Skarron walker that he eventually assaulted along with six other super dragons and their escorts…with him eventually dying as the wash of plasma eventually burned through the stubborn Nestafar armor and disabled the Ho’shemon. He and the other crew attempted to play dead, but the Skarrons didn’t relent and burned through the interior compartments until the plasma eventually reached the command cockpit, ending Sarrew’s military career and life without him even knowing the identity of the attackers.
