## History

### **Outer Rim Campaign**

#### Operation Quiet Sun

The 91st was sent out to secure Rakattan, a mostly unchartered world in the Outer Rim. Operation Quiet Sun was a collection of missions based around securing Rakkatan, as well as disbanding the small scale Rakkatan slave ring. The 17th Infantry Regiment were deployed not far from their target location - the main slaver compound.

Upon nearing the facility, the 17th began engaging. Heavy resistance is encountered by the 17th. After a few minutes, the 17th begin pushing and engage the slavers in close-quarters combat. After thirty to forty five minutes of fighting, the slavers endure terrible losses and suffer from significant drops in overall morale. The main engagement finishes but staggered firefights occur here and there during the securement of the facility.

The regiment reached and secured the facility. Remaining slavers withdraw and fortified Hill 023, which was to the east of the facility. A reconnaissance team reported they were using their slaves as shields.

After the 17th get relieved of security duties at the facility, the hill is taken through the use of fire and maneuver tactics. Civilian casualties were non-existent.

#### Operation Geronimo

The first phase of Operation Geronimo was to find the headquarters of the local militia in the sector, then exploit that in the second phase by engaging with overwhelming fire power. The First Platoon of the 17th Infantry Regiment were deployed to Hill 039, with the objective of reporting on enemy activity and to call in artillery fire and airstrikes. The Platoon established a defensive perimeter around the poorly-covered and mostly poorly-concealed hilltop to establish their observation post. The Platoon were able to monitor many enemy patrols and troop movements, and successfully called in artillery fire from a nearby artillery battery about 3+1⁄2 miles to their south for a solid three days straight without enemy contacts.

##### Battle of Hill 039

During the evening of the forth day, militia forces quickly surrounded the hill and advanced upward. Heavy fire and mortar fire kept the 17th from maneuvering out of their hilltop positions. They withdrew to a rocky knoll after the initial engagement, and the militia responded with a shower of grenades and a short assault that was repelled. Afterwards, the militia began quietly probing their lines for weaknesses, being rebuffed violently each time, forcing them to withdraw long enough to regroup. Near midnight, Joko radioed his regimental commander, "Arctic" Odee, to ask for extraction and close air support. It was deemed too unsafe, as the main air base was currently not yet in Republic control and air superiority had not yet been obtained.

At approximately 02:00, air support was provided however they were not able to get clear eyes on the Platoon nor the hostiles until illumination rounds could be dropped. LAAT/Is attempted to land to withdraw the Platoon but two were shot down after sustaining heavy fire and the others were instructed to leave, per the order of Joko.

At 03:00, the militia launched their third assault. Joko instructed the platoon to conserve ammunition. By 04:00, Joko was immobilized by a wound to his back, using Grady to relay commands to the platoon.

At 04:35, with Grady and Joko's permission, Sergeant Viny moved out from the knoll with his squad. They managed to make it to their outposts and kept sustained on the militia forces. At 05:00, the militia ceased offensive tactics and dug into cover, but kept them trapped on the hilltop. Grady moved back to their main positions during the quietness and discovered all members from Squad B had been killed in action by a combination of blaster fire and grenades.

Just before 10:00, reinforcements from A Company and B Company arrived. First Platoon was then extracted, and A and B Company stayed to finish the battle. The Battle of Hill 039 had lasted approximately twelve hours of vicious fighting and some hand-to-hand combat. 10 men were killed, and another thirteen were wounded. Militia forces were forced into a quick and unorganized retreat shortly after 10:00.

##### Battle of Fire Support Base Sham

Several days after the Battle of Hill 039, the 17th Infantry Regiment (now back to full strength) were sent with elements of the 9th Engineering Battalion to set up Fire Support Base Sham which would be used in support of the second phase of Operation Geronimo. On the fifth day, elements from A Company received several mortar rounds. Artillery was fired on the suspected enemy locations.

At 11:25, A Company were subjected to a 50 round mortar barrage, killing eight. At 11:50, four LAAT/Is were shot down by heavy arms fire. One of the LAATs crashed into the ammunition storage area, killing three men, destroying the helicopter, three AV-7 Antivehicle Cannons and 1,232 rounds of plasma shells. At 12:25, the militia again hit the base with mortar fire, killing five more additional men. At 12:45 C Company received an attack-by-fire consisting of 60 round mortar barrage. Six men were killed as a result. The mortar and small arms fire continued until 13:45. At 13:50, B Company was hit by several mortar rounds. At 14:05 the base received 25 more rounds.

At 14:15, due to the unusual high losses of life within a short time spawn as well as due to the geography of the area which made it much more harder to defend, Senior General Savior gave authority for Fire Support Base Sham to be scrapped and abandoned. At 14:25, the withdrawal of Republic forces from the fire base began. The remaining heavy cannons were destroyed, and what ammunition could not be transported were destroyed. At 15:00, Republic forces had completely withdrawn from the base. Fire Support Base Sham was never taken by militia forces.

### Order 66

When Order 66 was issued, the 91st Night Corps more or less fell through with the order. Senior Jedi General De'kar had assistance from Senior General Savior, Marshal Commander Caroline, and Senior Commander Adriana in faking his death in order to live alone. With him, he took what members of the 91st that wished to defect from the Republic. He was reported killed in action by the Senior General and the others. Jedi General Atreus was killed in a quick skirmish which did result in various soldiers being killed.

#### Deactivation

A month after the issuance of Order 66, the 91st Night Corps was deactivated. Most of its ranking clone officers were reassigned to other units and or received promotions. The ranking volunteer officers were also either reassigned, or discharged from military service.
