The Star Destroyer you're on arrives to Reecee after 3 days of absolute boredom, you're anxious to get planet side and stretch your legs. Your detachment crowds onto a shuttle bound for Relaxis; a city just outside of the capital that, according to the local authorities, has been a hotbed of Rebel sympathizers. You land on what appears to be a major landing bay and your detachment is quickly split up into three teams: Prime, Beta, and Alpha. You are placed on Beta team with 5 other recruits and a young female officer. Your first assignment is to provide security to the officer while she meets with an informant at a local cantina. You weave through the busy landing bay, enjoying the nervous looks and scared faces of the people you pass by. Suddenly an Ithorian stumbles into you, knocking you down. Finally, you think, a chance to blow off some steam.
A. Threaten the Ithorian
B. Beat him
C. Shoot him
D. Let him go with a warning

D. Let him go. One of the most important parts of fighting against insurgency and guerilla type warfare is not having the most firepower, but having the populace on your side. Without the support of the populace, an insurgency cannot be sustained.

Therefore, we need to first befriend the locals instead of pissing them off more.

You pick yourself up and look down at the Ithorian who is still trying to get up. He must be older, you think to yourself. Perfect.

A small circle has formed around the incident, your officer has placed the rest of the recruits around to make a barrier between you and the crowd. She is watching you intently; testing you.

" I think you owe me an apology" you say in a foreboding tone as you stand above the Ithorian. The alien bleats out in his native tongue, you don't understand the jumbled honking noises. You flick the safety off of your blaster; the high pitched humming sound causing some people in the crowd to gasp and whisper nervously

" I'm going to count to three" you say, placing your blaster right between the alien's eyes.

"one"

The Ithorian is on his knees bleating and honking incessantly; trying to form some kind of apology you can understand.

"two"

the Ithorian's eyes are darting around like crazy; the noises he's making are starting to sound more human, but still incomprehensible.

" thre-"

" TK-392!" Your commanding officer stops you before you can proceed. " That's enough, TK-'s 390 and 391, take this scum to the penitentiary." As the other troopers lead the alien away she looks at you and nods " Good job" she says " you sent these people a message without killing anyone outright, that kind of fear stays with people."

>>25365606

Cannon? You mean canon you mongoloid. Your defeatist attitude sickens me.

>>25365674
Okay. You win the argument.

>>25365650
Fear is good, hatred on the other hand is what fuels the rebels.

If we are going to kill people, it should happen silently in the middle of the night, or after a mock trial.

>>25365673

I'm talking about the Tarkin doctrine.

>>25365626
Awesome, ignore the overwhelming majority.

Piece of fodder should watch it, next time he won't be as lucky.

>>25365693
We're stormtroopers not black ops.

>>25365705

Better than a soft weakling. We keep up our firm work, and we'll get promoted in no time.

>>25365705

Hey, the Ithorian is being detained, and we gave a good "watch your step" impression.

>>25365626

Silently snap a smart salute and wait for orders.

>>25365626
Salute, Fist to chest, but sneering behind my helmet at the officers "Weakness"

>>25365705
Good, I was waiting where you get to kick ass and take down some rebel scum, not hold hands and sing kumbayaa. You're all right by me OP!

>>25365773

No man, we just salute. Do that, and it gives her good rep with the natives.

While it's completely fine if the natives hate our guts, showing that the officer is "harsh but otherwise reasonable" is good.

Before we continue I'd like to remind everyone that it's a much better option to hide arguments rather than contribute to them.

After your little show of force the rest of your team arrives at the cantina. It's a run down place; the type where you know that you won't be the only one packing a blaster. As you walk past the broken down bar stools and drunkards you find a private booth towards the back with a tall Bothan sitting in the shadows. " Stay here and don't let anyone get near us." Your officer says before pressing a button and a thin plasti-steel privacy curtain closes around the booth.

You and the other recruit stand watch for a few minutes, watching the bar patrons talk amongst themselves and hollering at the holographic Twi-leks dancing on a ram-shackle stage. You scan the bar, looking for anything out of place.

Seconding this, it's solid doctrine. Fear will keep them in line.

>>25365930
Eh, we're a grunt fresh out of boot. A little specieism and being arrogant and overbearing is well within character.
Besides, I don't think we're even a corporal; let officers think about the long-term, we're just here to blast scum in the face.

I'm getting a real Full Metal Jacket-vibe for this character.

>>25366141
Our origins as a pickpocket on the most diverse planet in the world hardly accounts for speciesim. If anything it would point to a dislike of authority.

Thank you. Also, let's keep the white knighters out of this quest.

>>25366191
I don't know, probably not Gomer though...

>>25366209
So where does the speciesm come in? Boot camp wouldn't do that.

Either way, we have no reason (in character) to be dissing our officers.

As you look around the bar nothing seems out of the ordinary, but you can't shake the feeling that you're being watched. You express your concern to your partner " Well, no shit we're being watched, especially after you pulled your little stunt back there at the landing bay."

You shrug off the criticism, knowing he's just jealous. The next couple of minutes pass by uneventfully before the curtain opens and your officer walks out " We got what we came for, let's get back to the jail." As the three of you are about to exit the bar, you hear the sound of a table being overturned and glasses breaking

" YOU CHEATING SON OF A WOOKIE" you turn around and see a large Aqualorean screaming and shouting at a young man. " I SAW YOU ADD A CARD FROM YOUR SLEEVE, YOU THINK YOU CAN CHEAT ME?"

" Go take care of it, we don't need this much noise on our first day here" your officer says. You and your partner quickly walk over to the commotion. At this point the Aquelorean has lifted the man up off the ground by the cuff of his shirt; rifling through his vest trying to find where he's hiding his extra cards. He sees both of you coming " YOU STAY OUT OF THIS, BUCKETHEADS, UNLESS YOU WANT A BLASTER BOLT THROUGH YOUR GUTS!"

>>25366252

The Empire is about doing what you are fucking told. That is triple true for stormtroopers.

>>25366232
>Boot camp wouldn't do that.
I don't know, this was an Imperial boot camp, when the Empire's specieist policies would still be in effect.
I can see institutionalized specieism being drilled into stormtrooper recruits as part of their training.

Set the blaster to stun; if we get into a firefight I don't want to have to pay for damages out of our pocket, because you can bet that our CO's gonna make us pay for any collateral damage.

"Hey, put the man down. No fighting in the bar."

>>25366320

Then detain the other guy.

The above post was me.

Same reason Alexander the Great of Cyrus promoted cultural tolerance. There was no moral aspect to it, they didn't do it because it was the "right" thing to do. They did it because it provided the best results.

That it does. But a massive part of being a citizen of the Empire and one of the core components of being a stormtrooper is obey our superiors without question.

I dunno, we were a pickpocket on Coruscant, one of the most culturally and species-diverse planets in the galaxy.

>>25366497
Might have been more; OP wasn't specific.

>>25366298
Don't even hesitate, but knock the sense out of that punk with your rifle butt immediately. No point in wasting good ammo on him. Cuff him and drag him to the prison with you.

>>25366503

Which has been governed by the Imperial speciest policies for our entire life.

Being a human at least made us better than the alien scum around us and the only reason we were poor was because shifty aliens took all the good jobs.

You can be speciest while surrounded by aliens your whole life. It makes sense.

>>25366497
We're soldiers of the empire now. I care more for my own life then that of some non-human alien, I'm pretty sure they beat the reward of failure to comply with orders within those two months

>>25366355
Aqualish have a notorious temper; the persuasion check is going to be hard.

As for blast or stun it seems to be a pretty even split; I'll give you guys a little more time to decide.

>>25366626
Gonna have to go with the blast
No one threatens the Empire, or the Empire's finest

>>25366626

Stun. He hasn't pointed a weapon at us but he has threatened us. Stun his ass and take him in.

>>25366626
One warning, then blast.

>>25366598
I think strict adherence to command structure suits us better than racist redneck in a stormtrooper suit.

>>25366655

If he draws a weapon of any kind, blast him.

Draw weapon, Give him ONE warning, and blow his ass to hell if he draws on us.

Both you and your partner set your blasters to stun and take aim at the enraged Aqualish. " Put the man down and place your hands behind your head" you say in an authoritative voice. The alien seems to give some thought to the options you just gave him and slowly places the man down on the ground. " Put your hands behind your head" you repeat, this time louder. The Aqualish gives you a look that would make a rancor pale, and slowly places his hands behind his head. You walk slowly towards him, keeping your blaster trained on him. While he's obeying orders, you don't trust him; Aqualish have a temper that's made them famous throughout the whole galaxy, there's no way this one would give up that easily.

You get closer to the alien and tell him to turn around, " No" he says defiantly. That's all the excuse you need; you squeeze the trigger.

... and nothing happens

Your stomach drops into your feet as you hear the pathetic "click" of a stun round misfire. The Aqualish roars and punches you in the chest; his inhuman strength propelling you a good 4 feet. You crash into the other recruit, knocking him out cold and sending you both to the ground. You try to get up, stunned and out of breath. The Aqualish picks you up and clamps his hands around your neck, making it impossible to breathe. Your world starts spinning, blackness is creeping into your periphery....

BLAM BLAM

You feel two streaks of heat pass through the space between your legs, dangerously close to your nether regions. The Aqualish roars in pain and lets go of your neck, clutching the two perfect circles burned into his abdomen. Before you can understand what's going on you hear two more loud blasts and see two red streaks pass through the Aqualish's head, dropping him instantly.

Your commanding officer runs over to you " You okay" she asks? you nod weakly, still trying to catch your breath and she helps you up. " You like being the center of attention, don't you?" she says sarcastically, " About as much as you like taking your time" you retort. She snickers and says " Come on, we need to wake up the other recruit."

>>25367410
We have failed the Empire
time for sudoku

>>25367410
Not our finest moment. Check if we have broken anything, then see if the aqualish is still alive. Also, detain the other gambler, it's part his fault that this whole thing happened.

Grab the other guy for the report, and try to wake up the other recruit.

Man, there's gonna be so much paperwork for this.
And then there's letting our weapon be out of maintenance so it misfires.

>>25367573
Pfft, our armor doesn't have nametag, they'll never know it was us.

>>25367599
On the other hand did we actually see anyone hit a target during the boot camp?

>>25367529
You check yourself as your commanding officer tries to wake up the other recruit; your Plastoid chest plate blocked enough of the impact to where none of your bones are broken, but you have a very large purple bruise on your chest that makes it painful to breathe and move.

The Aqualish recieved two blaster bolts to the head, making him very much dead. You have the local authorities deal with the clean up.

>>25367540
You find the other man cowering behind an overturned table. " Get up" you say, the man looks at you, very scared. " B-but I didn't do any-" you kick him in the gut and he yelps in pain. " GET.UP." you say again and the man complies. You cuff him and march him back to the front of the bar to reunite with your officer and fellow recruit, who has since woken up and is still wobbling a little. You walk out of the bar with your captive and make your way back to the jail.

>>25367573
The other two recruits were busy taking the Ithorian back to the local jail, they don't have to know what happened.

>>25367734
Interrogate him on general principles.

>>25367734
As we walk to the jail, I step up next to our commanding officer
"Maam, if it isn't to much to ask, could we not mention this to the other guys, they'd never let us live it down?"

>>25367809

This.

>>25367834
That's retarded. It'd be like the Streisand effect. Merely asking for that dishonors us.

>>25367834
I say we never mention it to anyone ever. Lets make up for it by doing weapon maintenance every waking moment

>>25367996
No, let's go with it, it'll be a nice humanizing touch to our tough guy image. We're brothers in arms so she'll probably let it slide.

>>25368042
Or we could just get a real weapon instead of a standard Imperium blaster rifle piece of shit.

>>25367734

Get up keep walking and go about our day without saying anything to anyone.

No need to draw more attention to our self.

Also, when we get a break field strip our blaster to make sure it is in working order.

>>25368050
We don't want to appear weak. Asking is for the weak.

>>25368050
Deeds speak louder than actions man. Just make up for this incident with extreme competence later on

>>25367734
You make your way back to the jail and throw your captive inside a holding cell, he'll be released tomorrow after the proper paperwork has been filed and he's payed a fine. You find the resting quarters and take off your helmet; it's a great feeling. " TK-392!" you immediately spring to attention, doing your best to ignore the searing pain from the bruise on your chest. Your commanding officer steps through the door " you went on an active patrol without checking your weapon for faults. I don't want to sign through form after form detailing how you got yourself killed over something so stupid."

" Yes Ma'am"

The look on her face softens a fraction of an inch " Head down to the armory tomorrow and pick out another weapon, preferably one that works. If they don't like it, tell them they can take it up with me."

" Yes, Ma'am."

" That will be all TK-392, At ease". After she's left you close the door and remove the rest of your armor. You lie down on your cot and slowly drift off into a much needed sleep.

and that's all for tonight. Thanks to each and every one of you for contributing. I'll archive this thread so when I do the next one you guys won't miss anything. Stay tuned!
