"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 'Rebellion'. In the past, we'd secretly enjoyed putting down a local insurrection or two. They kept the troops sharp and the empire feared. But these rebels were different. They were organized. They were growing. And they were everywhere. The raid on Polis Massa was a perfect example of how things were starting to falling apart. We were supposed to go in, wipe out a small band of rebels, and recover some stolen Imperial plans on an encrypted holo-disk. Before we knew it, we were nearly overrun by rebel forces, with the holo-disk nowhere to be found."
