Battlefront

by Alexander Freed

First published 1800

The Galactic Civil War tears across multiple worlds as Imperial stormtroopers crush resistance wherever it emerges. In ravaged cities throughout the Mid Rim, the Sixty-First Mobile Infantry fights brutal ground combat against overwhelming odds. Twilight Company's battle-hardened soldiers push deep into Imperial territory, surviving where other units fall. These war-weary fighters remain fiercely loyal to each other as their most reliable weapon against superior enemy numbers and firepower. When command orders a retreat from impossible circumstances, Twilight Company reluctantly withdraws. An unexpected ally transforms their strategic position and offers the Alliance's toughest warriors an opportunity to reverse their fortunes. Despite official orders, the isolated and outgunned unit prepares for their most daring operation yet. They abandon trench warfare for a decisive assault targeting the core of the Empire's military apparatus.
