Unexpected Respite: A Honsou Story. Honsou groaned as he rolled over in his bed in the medical centre of the ISD-II Challenge. It had been almost two weeks since he had led Tempest and the rest of 'his' battlegroup away from Bunduki in Imperial Storm III. Although he was glad, from his glancing around the medical centre, that he and the rest of Tempest had not been required to report to the simulator deck. The Hammer had left their Homeworld completely undefended and Tempest had just taken it without a shred of resistance. Several members of Tempest were here and Honsou felt a surge of guilt, no anger within himself. Had he pushed them too hard? Or were they in need of a harsher training regimen? He would decide later, his thoughts still cloudy, he slipped back toward sleep's embrace. He jolted awake as his communicatior chimed, EchoVII's voice sounded like she was yelling from two feet away but he allowed her to report. 'Sir,' she began 'Uh, the COM wants to see you, urgently.' It was expected... Honsou sat up and began to stretch, 'Fine, advise Sil, I mean the COM that I will be with him shortly.' A full ten minutes later, fussy med droids placated, Honsou stepped out of the medical centre and began towards the turbolifts. 'What crazy move did the 'old man' have in mind now, that only Tempest would suffice?' Honsou muttered to himself...

This past week saw Tempest entering the fray in Imperial Storm III. Taking the ISD-II Hammer's Homeworld of Mokivj with zero resistance!

The Challenge Championship League: Round Robin, concludes this week with a handful of games left to be played Snax Attax lead the pack at the time of writing this.
