class=\"Style2\">&#8220;During the rise of the Empire, the Emperor&#8217;s home planet of Naboo rapidly established itself as a major irritant. After a number of Naboo&#8217;s ambassadors were sent home in various states of dismemberment, her newly elected Queen broke off diplomatic ties, and began exploring military options. Clearly it was time for a regime change, a change that would be effected by the 501st, now under the direct command of Darth Vader. Our orders were simple: to infiltrate the city, take out their leader, sending a clear signal to other potential troublemakers in the Empire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;With the Queen eliminated, Naboo quickly fell in line. It was the first time the 501st was called upon to &#8220;adjust&#8221; a planet&#8217;s government, but it wouldn&#8217;t be the last. Within months, the 501st gained a well-deserved reputation as &#8220;Vader&#8217;s Fist&#8221;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><div class='av-extra-border-element border-extra-arrow-down'><div class='av-extra-border-outer'><div class='av-extra-border-inner'><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l53325t5-9cf23d4cb5767a5c033723cccdec53ba\">\n.avia-section.av-l53325t5-9cf23d4cb5767a5c033723cccdec53ba{\nbackground-repeat:no-repeat;\nbackground-image:url(https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/battle-of-mustafar-space.png);\nbackground-position:50% 50%;\nbackground-attachment:fixed;\n}\n.avia-section.av-l53325t5-9cf23d4cb5767a5c033723cccdec53ba .av-section-color-overlay{\nopacity:0.7;\nbackground-color:#232323;\n}\n.avia-section.av-l53325t5-9cf23d4cb5767a5c033723cccdec53ba .av-extra-border-element .av-extra-border-inner{\nbackground-color:#f8f8f8;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='mustafar-orbit'  class='avia-section av-l53325t5-9cf23d4cb5767a5c033723cccdec53ba main_color avia-section-default avia-shadow  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-full-stretch avia-bg-style-fixed av-section-color-overlay-active av-arrow-down-section container_wrap sidebar_right'  data-section-bg-repeat='stretch'><div class=\"av-section-color-overlay-wrap\"><div class=\"av-section-color-overlay\"><\/div><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-248'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-j46vs-56-19ac753f59e6ee40fb3f7175e5f393e0\">\n.flex_column.av-j46vs-56-19ac753f59e6ee40fb3f7175e5f393e0{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-j46vs-56-19ac753f59e6ee40fb3f7175e5f393e0 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-16  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-hide-on-mobile av-zero-column-padding '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-uf6w0-fdfd4a67764d3d8047a9d61515b8f62e\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-uf6w0-fdfd4a67764d3d8047a9d61515b8f62e{\nmargin:30px 0 0 0;\npadding-bottom:0px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-uf6w0-fdfd4a67764d3d8047a9d61515b8f62e .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-uf6w0-fdfd4a67764d3d8047a9d61515b8f62e .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-uf6w0-fdfd4a67764d3d8047a9d61515b8f62e av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-17  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >501st Journal #10 &#8211; Mustafar Orbit: Preventive Measures<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l502ha8m-55-34f17ceb551eb7e4ddf50a698707619f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;Although the Clone Wars were over, some people never seemed to get the message. The worst case of denial was Gizor Dellso, a Geonosian Separatist who&#8217;d somehow escaped Lord Vader&#8217;s efforts to wipe out the remnants of the CIS. Lord Vader tracked him to Mustafar, and brought us in to finish the job. It seemed like a simple enough mission, but when we saw the fleet of droid ships, hovering over the planet, we suddenly realized that Delso&#8217;s denial mechanisms were a little more dangerous than we&#8217;d imagined.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;The slight whiff of nostalgia the 501st had enjoyed fighting the droid fleet over Mustafar had already grown sour by the time we&#8217;d established orbital positions.

The worst case of denial was Gizor Dellso, a Geonosian Separatist who&#8217;d somehow escaped Lord Vader&#8217;s efforts to wipe out the remnants of the CIS. Lord Vader tracked him to Mustafar, and brought us in to finish the job. It seemed like a simple enough mission, but when we saw the fleet of droid ships, hovering over the planet, we suddenly realized that Delso&#8217;s denial mechanisms were a little more dangerous than we&#8217;d imagined.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;The slight whiff of nostalgia the 501st had enjoyed fighting the droid fleet over Mustafar had already grown sour by the time we&#8217;d established orbital positions.

All by his lonesome, he&#8217;d found a previously hidden droid factory, fired it up and cranked out his own private army of battle droids. Needless to say, this got the men of the 501st&#8230;a little hot under the helmet, and not just because of all that lava. Truth be told we&#8217;d all had our fill of those gear heads during the war, and we couldn&#8217;t stomach the thought of going through another one. So we blew them up. Blew up the droids, blew up the factory, damn near blew up the planet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;The destruction of the mining facility put an end to any thoughts of a second droid rebellion. For the first time in years, the men of the 501st could relax, and get about the business of maintaining an Empire, rather than building one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><div class='av-extra-border-element border-extra-arrow-down'><div class='av-extra-border-outer'><div class='av-extra-border-inner'><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l53330lg-90d9d626383e4558af1aad2399a04db6\">\n.avia-section.av-l53330lg-90d9d626383e4558af1aad2399a04db6{\nbackground-repeat:no-repeat;\nbackground-image:url(https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/battle-of-kamino.png);\nbackground-position:50% 50%;\nbackground-attachment:fixed;\n}\n.avia-section.av-l53330lg-90d9d626383e4558af1aad2399a04db6 .av-section-color-overlay{\nopacity:0.7;\nbackground-color:#232323;\n}\n.avia-section.av-l53330lg-90d9d626383e4558af1aad2399a04db6 .av-extra-border-element .av-extra-border-inner{\nbackground-color:#f8f8f8;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='kamino'  class='avia-section av-l53330lg-90d9d626383e4558af1aad2399a04db6 main_color avia-section-default avia-shadow  avia-builder-el-32  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-full-stretch avia-bg-style-fixed av-section-color-overlay-active av-arrow-down-section container_wrap sidebar_right'  data-section-bg-repeat='stretch'><div class=\"av-section-color-overlay-wrap\"><div class=\"av-section-color-overlay\"><\/div><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-248'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-j46vs-42-a8e307aa91419621a7847b3ea28d3301\">\n.flex_column.av-j46vs-42-a8e307aa91419621a7847b3ea28d3301{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-j46vs-42-a8e307aa91419621a7847b3ea28d3301 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-33  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-hide-on-mobile av-zero-column-padding '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-s7ngo-68b909918b0ca2aa0a2c4beb5385db5f\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-s7ngo-68b909918b0ca2aa0a2c4beb5385db5f{\nmargin:30px 0 0 0;\npadding-bottom:0px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-s7ngo-68b909918b0ca2aa0a2c4beb5385db5f .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-s7ngo-68b909918b0ca2aa0a2c4beb5385db5f .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-s7ngo-68b909918b0ca2aa0a2c4beb5385db5f av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-34  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >501st Journal #12 &#8211; Kamino: Changing of the Guard<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l502ha8m-41-e59bc502f90fa0f3f4bbf21ee81d63f9'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>&#8220;Officially, there never was a clone rebellion on Kamino. Unofficially, approximately twenty years after we were created, a special detachment of the Imperial 501st Legion was dispatched to Kamino, with orders to eradicate an army of clones that had been bred to take arms against the Empire. Our mission commander, an expert on the inner workings of Kamino, was a young bounty hunter named Boba Fett.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The bounty hunter left after the battle was over. He said something about tracking down a smuggler on Tatooine. After the Kamino uprising, the Emperor decided that an army of genetically identical soldiers was too susceptible to corruption. Future troopers would be cloned from a variety of templates. Though the 501st itself remained pure, the rest of the Imperial Army gradually became more and more diverse. We never really got used to the new guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-11i9rc-44-9419dd2c97b07e101f60ade43a0cf16e\">\n.flex_column.av-11i9rc-44-9419dd2c97b07e101f60ade43a0cf16e{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-11i9rc-44-9419dd2c97b07e101f60ade43a0cf16e av_one_half  avia-builder-el-36  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  flex_column_div av-hide-on-mobile av-zero-column-padding '     ><div  class='avia-slideshow av-l50231gy-43-91a14ebbf72947e1ed32569091e766bf avia-slideshow-large av_slideshow avia-slide-slider  avia-builder-el-37  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-slideshow-ui av-control-default av-slideshow-manual av-loop-once av-loop-manual-endless av-default-height-applied avia-slideshow-6' data-slideshow-options=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;loop_autoplay&quot;:&quot;once&quot;,&quot;interval&quot;:5,&quot;loop_manual&quot;:&quot;manual-endless&quot;,&quot;autoplay_stopper&quot;:false,&quot;noNavigation&quot;:false,&quot;bg_slider&quot;:false,&quot;keep_padding&quot;:false,&quot;hoverpause&quot;:false,&quot;show_slide_delay&quot;:0}\"  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><ul class='avia-slideshow-inner ' style='padding-bottom: 56.25%;'><li  class='avia-slideshow-slide av-l50231gy-43-91a14ebbf72947e1ed32569091e766bf__0  slide-1 slide-odd'><div data-rel='slideshow-6' class='avia-slide-wrap '   ><div class='av-slideshow-caption av-l50231gy-43-91a14ebbf72947e1ed32569091e766bf__0 avia-caption'><div class=\"avia-inner-caption\"><h2 class='avia-caption-title '  itemprop=\"name\" >Kamino: Changing of the Guard<\/h2><div class='avia-caption-content '  itemprop=\"description\" ><p>Slide 1 of 2<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-147 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-147\"  src=\"https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/battle-of-kamino.png\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title='Kamino - Changing of the Guard' alt=''  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/battle-of-kamino.png 1024w, https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/battle-of-kamino-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/battle-of-kamino-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/battle-of-kamino-705x397.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><div class=\"av-click-to-play-overlay\"><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><li  data-controls='' data-mute='aviaTBaviaTBvideo_mute' data-loop='' data-disable-autoplay=''  data-mobile-img='https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/battle-of-kamino.png' data-fallback-link='&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot;

Unofficially, approximately twenty years after we were created, a special detachment of the Imperial 501st Legion was dispatched to Kamino, with orders to eradicate an army of clones that had been bred to take arms against the Empire. Our mission commander, an expert on the inner workings of Kamino, was a young bounty hunter named Boba Fett.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The bounty hunter left after the battle was over. He said something about tracking down a smuggler on Tatooine. After the Kamino uprising, the Emperor decided that an army of genetically identical soldiers was too susceptible to corruption. Future troopers would be cloned from a variety of templates. Though the 501st itself remained pure, the rest of the Imperial Army gradually became more and more diverse. We never really got used to the new guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><div class='av-extra-border-element border-extra-arrow-down'><div class='av-extra-border-outer'><div class='av-extra-border-inner'><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l5333b1y-4ab6aff7c828aba754cbf35ebc88488f\">\n.avia-section.av-l5333b1y-4ab6aff7c828aba754cbf35ebc88488f{\nbackground-repeat:no-repeat;\nbackground-image:url(https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/stormtroopers-on-death-star.png);\nbackground-position:50% 50%;\nbackground-attachment:fixed;\n}\n.avia-section.av-l5333b1y-4ab6aff7c828aba754cbf35ebc88488f .av-section-color-overlay{\nopacity:0.7;\nbackground-color:#232323;\n}\n.avia-section.av-l5333b1y-4ab6aff7c828aba754cbf35ebc88488f .av-extra-border-element .av-extra-border-inner{\nbackground-color:#f8f8f8;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='death-star'  class='avia-section av-l5333b1y-4ab6aff7c828aba754cbf35ebc88488f main_color avia-section-default avia-shadow  avia-builder-el-43  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-full-stretch avia-bg-style-fixed av-section-color-overlay-active av-arrow-down-section container_wrap sidebar_right'  data-section-bg-repeat='stretch'><div class=\"av-section-color-overlay-wrap\"><div class=\"av-section-color-overlay\"><\/div><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-248'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-11i9rc-36-fb35c40a9ab937b01091df0bf0395835\">\n.flex_column.av-11i9rc-36-fb35c40a9ab937b01091df0bf0395835{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-11i9rc-36-fb35c40a9ab937b01091df0bf0395835 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-44  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><div  class='avia-slideshow av-l50231gy-35-a763264cc21732f0268dad9047b4d9c9 avia-slideshow-large av_slideshow avia-slide-slider  avia-builder-el-45  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-slideshow-ui av-control-default av-slideshow-manual av-loop-once av-loop-manual-endless av-default-height-applied avia-slideshow-8' data-slideshow-options=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;loop_autoplay&quot;:&quot;once&quot;,&quot;interval&quot;:5,&quot;loop_manual&quot;:&quot;manual-endless&quot;,&quot;autoplay_stopper&quot;:false,&quot;noNavigation&quot;:false,&quot;bg_slider&quot;:false,&quot;keep_padding&quot;:false,&quot;hoverpause&quot;:false,&quot;show_slide_delay&quot;:0}\"  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><ul class='avia-slideshow-inner ' style='padding-bottom: 56.185567010309%;'><li  class='avia-slideshow-slide av-l50231gy-35-a763264cc21732f0268dad9047b4d9c9__0  slide-1 slide-odd'><div data-rel='slideshow-8' class='avia-slide-wrap '   ><div class='av-slideshow-caption av-l50231gy-35-a763264cc21732f0268dad9047b4d9c9__0 avia-caption'><div class=\"avia-inner-caption\"><h2 class='avia-caption-title '  itemprop=\"name\" >Death Star: Prison Break<\/h2><div class='avia-caption-content '  itemprop=\"description\" ><p>Slide 1 of 2<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-148 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-148\"  src=\"https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/stormtroopers-on-death-star.png\" width=\"970\" height=\"545\" title='Death Star - Prison Break' alt=''  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/stormtroopers-on-death-star.png 970w, https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/stormtroopers-on-death-star-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/stormtroopers-on-death-star-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/stormtroopers-on-death-star-705x396.png 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><div class=\"av-click-to-play-overlay\"><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><li  data-controls='' data-mute='aviaTBaviaTBvideo_mute' data-loop='' data-disable-autoplay=''  data-mobile-img='https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/stormtroopers-on-death-star.png' data-fallback-link='&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot;

It was also the most boring assignment in the galaxy for a stormtrooper. Tedious inspection drills, endless hours of guarding impregnable force field generators. Things got so bad that when a prison break erupted in the cell block, we were almost happy to have someone shooting at us again. If only we had known what an embarrassing snipestorm we were about to wade into, we probably would have jettisoned the whole detention block into space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;After the embarrassment of the prison break, Lord Vader removed us from our comfortable billet, and began dragging the 501st across the galaxy, in a dangerous hunt for the now missing Death Star plans. Ironically, our punishment eventually proved to be our salvation. The poor souls who took our place in the detention area were completely wiped out when the Death Star was destroyed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><div class='av-extra-border-element border-extra-arrow-down'><div class='av-extra-border-outer'><div class='av-extra-border-inner'><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l5333kqa-f78c14e56dfc078fe2a2ba299833be56\">\n.avia-section.av-l5333kqa-f78c14e56dfc078fe2a2ba299833be56{\nbackground-repeat:no-repeat;\nbackground-image:url(https:\/\/kg4designs.com\/501stjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/battle-of-polis-massa.png);\nbackground-position:50% 50%;\nbackground-attachment:fixed;\n}\n.avia-section.av-l5333kqa-f78c14e56dfc078fe2a2ba299833be56 .av-section-color-overlay{\nopacity:0.7;\nbackground-color:#232323;\n}\n.avia-section.av-l5333kqa-f78c14e56dfc078fe2a2ba299833be56 .av-extra-border-element .av-extra-border-inner{\nbackground-color:#f8f8f8;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='polis-massa'  class='avia-section av-l5333kqa-f78c14e56dfc078fe2a2ba299833be56 main_color avia-section-default avia-shadow  avia-builder-el-49  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-full-stretch avia-bg-style-fixed av-section-color-overlay-active av-arrow-down-section container_wrap sidebar_right'  data-section-bg-repeat='stretch'><div class=\"av-section-color-overlay-wrap\"><div class=\"av-section-color-overlay\"><\/div><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-248'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-j46vs-30-89a7ac155077386d0731887f92f32170\">\n.flex_column.av-j46vs-30-89a7ac155077386d0731887f92f32170{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-j46vs-30-89a7ac155077386d0731887f92f32170 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-50  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-hide-on-mobile av-zero-column-padding '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-iytzc-de4620290ae3676ced74088f5137f9d5\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-iytzc-de4620290ae3676ced74088f5137f9d5{\nmargin:30px 0 0 0;\npadding-bottom:0px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-iytzc-de4620290ae3676ced74088f5137f9d5 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-iytzc-de4620290ae3676ced74088f5137f9d5 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-iytzc-de4620290ae3676ced74088f5137f9d5 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-51  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >501st Journal #14 &#8211; Polis Massa: Birth of the Rebellion<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l502ha8m-29-e4a7a17214d8314c80ef8fc4d88f3a87'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;By the time of the raid on Polis Massa, the men of the 501st were starting to get a little sick of this so called &#8220;Rebellion&#8221;.

We weren&#8217;t surprised. For all their talk of being a peaceful planet, Alderaan had been thumbing its nose at the Empire for years. After a brief and pointless battle, we boarded the ship, the Tantive IV, over Tatooine, began looking for the plans, and waited for Lord Vader&#8217;s arrival.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;After Lord Vader took custody of Princess Leia, we all figured it was just a matter of time before she coughed up the plans.

Of those who made it out, another third were caught in the explosion. I&#8217;d fought with some of those men for over twenty years. Afterwards, those of us that survived hooked up with a nearby Imperial fleet making a retaliatory strike on the Rebel&#8217;s base on Yavin IV. It wasn&#8217;t the best thought out plan, but we were cut off from our leaders, tired, and operating on instinct. If not for our training, we probably would&#8217;ve never gotten past their orbital defenses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;And so the battle over Yavin came to an end.

Of those who made it out, another third were caught in the explosion. I&#8217;d fought with some of those men for over twenty years. Afterwards, those of us that survived hooked up with a nearby Imperial fleet making a retaliatory strike on the Rebel&#8217;s base on Yavin IV. It wasn&#8217;t the best thought out plan, but we were cut off from our leaders, tired, and operating on instinct. If not for our training, we probably would&#8217;ve never gotten past their orbital defenses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Style2\">&#8220;And so the battle over Yavin came to an end.
