Battle of Mortis

==&nbsp Battle of Mortis== The battle of Mortis was one of the longest, hardest, and most known battles in the Clone Wars. The 396th Legion participated in the battle, including Dragon Company. Republic Forces marched onto Mortis, the 'Diamond of Time' as it was called, and tried to break apart the Seps posted their, knowing the station-like planet could prove to be very valuable. The Republic won, but lost many troopers in the battle.

Before the Battle
Before the battle, Dragon Company was trying to tell all of their troops the plan for the battle, and to tell them their post. Commander Bane was conversing with a few worried corparals. They became more confident, and began to get ready.

Spinner and Droidbait were in the hangar area, working on a gunship. As they fixed it, they talked of their plan for the battle. And, they were wondering where Mok was. They hadnt seen him. Droidbait was concerned, hopeing that Mok was actully there. But, his question was answered when Mok walked up and told them where he was. He told them of the Commander's new orders. Droidbait continued working on the gunship, while Spinner left to check on the clone starfighters.

Soon, the 396th's Crusier, the Trident was nearing Mortis. Commander Bane ordered all pilots to get into their ships, and head for the planet. The diamont-shaped- planet looked like space station, but was actully a forest covered planet. Dragon Company loaded up into Spinner's Gunship, and they took off. As they flew to the planet, they noticed that there were no Sepratist ships. Most of the men wondered why an entire legion was supposed to attack a planet when their wer no seps there. Chatterbox said they should turn back, but Bane said he just needed to wait. They would show up, he was sure. Suddenly, the diamond split in half, opening up. Sepratist fighters flew out of it, firing there cannons. They were coming. Gunships are shot down. The gunship of Dragon Company takes a hit. Spinner screams. Hes injured. But, he says he can make it down to the surface. Soon, they get through the atmosphere. They can see the charred surface, with droids posted on the on the ground.
