Report:
Supanova was a two day troop and although the Rebel Legion achieved some gains on the first day it was the Empire that won out by last shuttle on Sunday. Having said that, reinforcements didn’t quite arrive as planned, Trooper 6156 (me) had an altercation with a Death Star Blast door leading to a late deployment on Sunday 18 April. As punishment he was asked to write this troop report leading to an interrogation of a Jawa (MJ), debrief of TK that had fallen in shoe polish (Shiney), and finally a TD (we sandy’s look after our own don’t we Kim?) thank you to all.


Friday:
delivery & assembly of "Project: Blast Doors". booth set-up.

Saturday:
Supplies issued for interstate troopers
Rebels managed to use the force on a Channel Nine crew from Kerri-Anne Kennelly’s Morning Show to broadcast more senseless Alliance propaganda
Secret Alliance microfilm was captured from the Rebels on Saturday:

Four of our troopers succumbed to the force when they were forced to sing as a boy band

Sunday:
Shiney was detailed to Jawa (MJ) protection; and “encouraged” a fan to take the next escape pod to Tatooine when he was found trying to frame MJ bashing him up. Helped by an R2 droid and Wrangler Jason, MJ was whisked away only to later end up in the arms of an adoring (and large) fan who picked her up and popped her over their shoulder, again Shiney prevented a total Borat/Pamela Anderson fiasco.
The Jawa then thanked Shiney in the only way a Jawa knows how by stealing his blaster. Giving chase and pulling out his BFG he chased her all around the 'signing' hall before officials told him to put his BFG away or they would confiscate it.

Grant took one for his team, facing the fans alone outside the pavilion during the 501st photo shoot.

TD6156 (me) arrived three hours before the show ended and was helped around by the best Wrangler (Shelby) and Bounty hunter (Lachlan(?)) in the world. It was my first deployment and she ran this way and that to help repair my armour, steer me when my lenses fogged up and get my wallet when I just had to part with my hard earned imperial soldier pay. She is the Best!

An uncomfortable situation arose whilst I was getting changed to go on duty. A Starfleet Doctor infiltrated our area and tried to deface the rear of our Blast doors. He looked like a high ranking officer but I made sure he followed imperial protocol anyhow and signed in first. Shelby id'ed him as Dr McCoy from Star Trek, the real one it seemed. He seemed a bit taken aback when I asked him to sign my armor but Karl Urban (who I was calling ”Keith” – thanks again Sheby for correcting me) had no choice but to eventually submit to the dark side.

I ran into McCoy later on again and concluded he must’ve been a Rebel sympathiser because he was following me so I took him out……….Okay the real story was a Supanova Wrangler shouted at me to “move along”, not being able to hear properly, I turned around suddenly and rifle butted the man following the wrangler accidentally in the upper thigh with my BFG. It turned out to be Keith…I mean Karl who disappeared painfully out the east exit.

The last of the rag tag group that wasn’t collapsing with heat exhaustion us got our ugly mugs in a photo shoot with James masters and the New moon dude.

Everyone involved.
