Training for Master Marksman

Spent some time outside Coronet practicing Rifle and Carbine, I made some small progress, but still a few hurdles to jump over. My shooting was so bad with a rifle or carbine, I miss my good 'ol pistol... Since my skill with rifle and carbine are so bad, animals I used to consider easy picks, now are dangerous... I was killed by a Giant Carrion Spat today, the combat system analysis graded it as Instant Death, I shouldn't have ignored it, how embarrass...

Krayt Hunt

After collected data and while waiting for Chiv to come back, I got bored, so I picked a juvenile to fight, come one come all - I attacked a juvenile, but the near by ancient ones raced over to help, took me a while to lose the ancient ones. The juvenile one although small in size, but I quite tough nonetheless, probablly a little less then a full grown Kimogila.


The sight of an ancient dragon is a sight to be hold. If you're not impressed by it's sheer size, I don't know what would.


Chiv and I took on this massive ancient dragon, look it's size compare to a cantina structure! We suffered so much damage, we had to run from it, but it chased us into a town near by, and forced us to seek shelter in the building...


Same dragon, but at a different building. Chiv is the one by the door, and I was trying to figth my way out of it's mouth.... don't ask me how I got in there...


Our combined effort barely made a dent on the ancient one, so we thought we will try our luck on a lesser dragon, and we enlisted help from another adventurer heppened to be there. We may just get lucky this time.


We did it!


The dragon destroyed my get away swoop, I had to buy 2 new ones in Coronet on we way back home - I'm sure as hell not going to ride in my AV-21 near the dragons...


Opps, we attracted the attention of an ancient dragon, we better got outta here.

During our fight, I tried use TKM skills as well as Master Pistoleer skils, it seems my bleeding shots with Modified Republic Pistol doesn't doing much damage at all, although it's quite effective against Kimogila. So, I guess I need some heavy weapons and work on Commando training.

Krayt Dragon data

While waiting for Chiv to get cloned and come back, I thought I should use the time to gether some intelligence on the dragon, so we can fight them more effectivly, so here's what I fount out:


Juvenile Canyonn Krayt Dragon: around 40k HAM


Canyon Krayt Dragon.


Giant Canyon Krayt Dragon.


Krayt Dragon Ancient. Chiv later point out that they have 400K+ HAM, and I initially thought they have 40K+, oops, what a big mistake.

Krayt Dragon Hunting Expedition

Chiv and I have been talking and planning for this for quite some time. And last night we finally meet up on Tatooine. The Krayt Dragon is lengendary across the galaxy, due to it's rarity, size and deadliness.

There was a big sand storm in desert, the visibility was very low. We rode swoop looking for these legendary beasts, but nothing shows up on the radar, then one suddenly appeard in the storm, my swoop nearly crashed into it. I could swear it wasn't there a minute ago, looks like the radar is really mesed up. The Krayt noticed me just as I noticed it, it's just ... massive. I did manage not crashing into the dragon, but I fell off my swoop trying to perform the evasive action. And the dragin was on me instantly, and pinned me to the ground.

I managed to get up and get on my bike again, run for safety, but poor Chiv didn't fare as good as I did. The dragon hit him on the head, and he was killed instantly. I guess my TKA reflex training saved me. As I retreat from the dragon, I looked back - there's not just one dragon, there're many more. The information I got that "there's a Krayt Dragin population boom" is a huge understatement, it's more like population out of control - the Krayt Dragon used to be a rare sight...

Prevail, we have!

Yeah! He should have accepted my help earlier, and village would have suffered a lot less losses. But I'm just gald I can be of help to the village. The past few days, I woke up so many time in the clone center, a few of my armor pieces are completed destroied. However, I wasn't aware of it until today, the last few battels - it just seem that I get hurt a lot, so I checked my armor after one death and almost fell over, worst yet, I don't have a spare one on me. But the battle must continue, or else, all will be lost... So, I had to fight without some of my armor and enhancement, it was TOUGH, the Sith Thugs and Pirate were incapacitating me left and right if not death blow me out right, and it was with only one or two hit...


Wow, so much to learn, it will be a very long way. But, I'm not in any rush.

Between the battles

The village has been under attack for a long time now, the huts they live in are under such bad condition that when it rains outside, it rains inside too.

Master Sergeant Enahs

Taking a break between the battles, yep, I'm Master Sergeant now.

Captain Sarguillo

... has finally come to his senses.


Lock and load, ready for battle. Though a small group, we shall prevail!


Mmm, are you hot? Why are you sweating?


Flame thrower, rifle, pistol, grenade, sword... fire at will.

Captain Sarguillo has gone mad!

Started about 2 weeks ago, the village has fallen to the Sith attack, again! I rushed to the village to help. However, when I got there, Captain refused my help. He refused! What's got into his mind?! Not only has he refused my help, but he also ordered me to leave the village and "...get some R & R". HUH? WHAT?! People around me are fighting fiercely, fell to the wraith of the Sith, and he still forbad me to fight... Has gone mad? Or has he been manipulated my the Sith through force?

Despite his direct order, I went back to him every now and then begging to be allowed to fight Sith, but he kept refuing... So, I disobeyed his order, fought the Sith anyway while's not looking, but it's just not as efficient as I have constantly avoiding him. I'm so frustrated and furious ... I'll try one last time...

Congratulations Chiv

... on your promotiont to Lance Corporal, and finally achiving the title of a Master Rifleman! Well done! Right thing you did with the Storm Troopers, we can't let any infomation fall into the hand of Empire, we must guard them with our lives.

With such diligence, I see the sigh of a future promissing officer in you. Keep up with the good work, and soon you will find youself stand amongst the elite officers of the Rebellion. And finally, a belated "welcom to the Rebel family!", I just knew it that you would come to the Rebellion one day, even when you were still working for the Empire.

Now that you've become a Master Rifleman, we should go to the hunt I promissed you: Krayt Dragon! I'm sure we'll get killed, but try we must.

Giant Dune Kimogila

"Oh, poor babies, daddy not home?"


"Where's your daddy?"


Oops, so the big daddy is home after all...


LOOK! 95K HAM! WOW! Even tougher than the last one I encountered couple of weeks ago.


Well, I need a break to heal up... the Kimo can still be seen in the distance.


It's DEAD! "Who's your daddy now?!" This is another extremely long fight, it lasted from dusk till dawn, and I had many breaks in between. "Take that sucker, eat my vibro knucklers."


I was badly wounded and heavyly fatigued, and guess what?! Nobody parties like the Coreallians! It's only Monday, but in this Coronet cantina it sure feels like Saturday, woohoo! Good on ya guys!

Death to Cas Vankoo

As we approched the Kimo town, we were attacked by some guy out of no where, he's really tough, with about 50k HAM, I think he's just being funny there, we need medic more than he does, especially me, I was taking heavy damages.


Not only he has high HAM, he also has high resistence again kenetic damage which is the only type of damage I can do. Although I have Chiv's help, but we can't concentrate our damage type: both my TKM and Pistoleer skill does mostly health damage, but Chiv's a Rifleman, he deals mostly in mind damage. So, it's not as a good combination as we liked.


First time he used this attack, I thought he's a Jedi and he's throwing the light saber at me, but as it turned out, he's just using a Launcher Pistol... I think.


It was a long fight, we started it was still daylight, by now, he's dying, it's already nightfall. When we first engaged fight, I wasn't quite prepared, and I also forgot to keep an eye on my HAM, I was killed shortly, I had to get cloned and visit Coronet again to get enhancements. Look how corky he is. Learned from my first death experience, I just run like hell, whenever my HAM is low, heal up, shoot him from distance with modified Republic Blaster to make him bleed, wait for a while; rinse and repeat :)

Got Milk?

I'm feeling a bit home sick today. And I've got craving for milk! Yes, milk! But not just any milk... Strawberry Milk! On my way home, I dropped by bazaar, but all I found is Chocolate Milk, not that there is something wrong with that, it's just I REALLY want some Strawberry Milk. On my home planet of Tatooine, it's everywhere, I can get it from the vending machine, I remember after the TKD training I used to drop by the cantina grab a quick meal of steak and kidney pie with a carton of strawberry milk, or banana split milk. But, it's so hard to find here on Dantooine. /sigh But lucky me, I have some Fosters stashed away in my laundry closet. /grin That will do ...
