40-43: Leaderless
🕑 Added 2025-09-01 07:00:36 +0000 UTCBy now, the battle for the little settlement is a scrappy, shambolic mess. There is nobody left to enforce cohesion, no-one to direct the Troopers' reckless courage, no-one to lead. The Officers and Senior NCOs who began the battle have all fallen in the headlong assault; they lie sprawled, some lifeless, others in the final throes of their dying anguish, and the battle continues without their stern direction.
Fortunate for the Empire that the fight has almost gone out of the defenders, and there is little left of the town to conquer.

Love picture #40 in which the helmet shows a flatline sign as the unfortunate officer died and picture #41 where the officer with a blank eye stares, only moments away from death.

I recall saying something at one point about these ranked girls needing to get their arses to the front and set an example. Probably not the example they had in mind but well done I guess? For what good it does them, they've earned my respect. If they're losing all the important officers just for some little backwater alien settlement I'd hate (love) to see how they come out of the other end of an engagement against a more serious, numerous and better equipped foe. And I been thinking it for a while but facial expressions lately have been spot on. The first and last one particularly that vacant, but still oddly beautiful look of the first trooper in contract to the more slack-jawed, more obviously dead looking stare of the second. I love those last two staring directly at the 'camera', the pained gasps or screams as they watch their sisters fight and fall ahead of them. And not forgetting the shocked and pained looks of troopers in previous images at the moment a laser impacts them knocks them off their feet.
