I think you just might possibly be right. 
It was orignially a pic of Boba Fett's visor, seeing four or five IG-88s.
And, uh, have you also read my fic or only looked at the cover, Kenobi_Kid?

An update 
Something doesn't really work with some "italics"-tags, so you will find a few words that have /xxxxx/. That means the xxxxx is in italics. Be sure to read this in the pdf, it's easier. 
Chapter One
The long blue stripes converged to single white stars and the ships of the Mandalorian task force /Final Uprising/ jumped out of hyperspace, close to /Lando's Folly/, the asteroid belt of Destrillion and Dubrillion. The Pursuer Enforcement scout ship that had been sent here two days ago and had made sure that no Yuuzhan Vong ships would be in the space where the task force had left hyperspace, was awaiting them.
The task force consisted in the Mandalorian Dungeon Ship /Spar's Legacy/, with two KDY AIAT/i light infantry assault transporters aboard, a dozen /Pursuer/ Enforcement Ships and two /Firespray/ Attack and Patrol ships: Boba Fett's Slave I and Ronan Barec's /Nemesis/. The plan was that the assault transporters would land on Dubrillion, escorted by the Neo-Crusaders, the squadron of Pursuers, and the Nemesis. The Spar's Legacy would remain in the asteroid belt - later accompanied by the Crusaders returning from the surface - and be the mobile base of the task force.
"Show those scarheads who Mandalorians are!" Boba Fett's harsh voice came out of Ronan Barec's helmet com-link. He switched the channel and spoke to the landing forces:
"You heard the Mand'alor! Let's do this clean and quick. Oya! Oya manda!"
"Oya!" the proud voices of over a hundred combat-ready and adrenaline-pushed Mandalorians resounded, sounding like a single voice. "Oya manda!"
Ronan kicked in the Nemesis's engines and maneuvered with full throttle through the asteroid belt, right in direction to Dubrillion.
Fourteen other ships followed him.
*******
"Sir, we have a meteor shower incoming over the isle the infidels called So'tara," a young, low-ranked Yuuzhan Vong communications officer who had just entered the commanding office of the Yuuzhan Vong headquarter, reported to Uunas Shai, the commander of the Yuuzhan Vong base on Dubrillion.
Uunas Shai looked into the officer's eyes, with a glance filled with anger about the warrior disturbing the commander without notifying himself.
"Excuse me, sir," the communications officer said obsequiously, averting Uunas Shai's eyes, "but we should ..."
"I know very well what to do, officer," the commander said enraged. "How many meteorites have been sighted?"
"A... About fifteen, sir."
"Very well. Send in a squadron of yorik-ets to monitor the event."
"It will be done, sir."
*******
"Sir, we have lost contact to the pilots of the yorik-ets," the communications officer said half an hour later.
"Then send in another squadron, fool," Uunas Shai said furiously. "Together with a warrior platoon led by Ny'ong Yutt. He is one of my best warriors and he will know what to do in that situation," he added.
"Yes, sir."
*******
Ny'ong Yutt felt a strong shake as the yorik-trema transport carrier landed on the island of So'tara. The membrane in front of him opened and he stepped, together with 35 warriors, out of the ship.
"We have landed and will now investigate the island and the crash site," he spoke to the villip on his shoulder.
He took the amphistaff wound around his forearm, forced it to harden itself into a deadly staff and ordered the warriors to secure the landing site and to move on cautiously.
Ny'ong Yutt could see lots of smoke all over the isle around the estimated crash site of the meteorites but no smoke over the crash site itself. I have a bad feeling about this, he thought.
He turned his head to the other villip on his shoulder that was connected to the leader of the coralskipper-squadron and scared noticed, that the villip had turned into a pale yellow tone, what signalized that no connection to its opposite existed any longer.
Strange. I haven't heard any explosions since I arrived.
The yorik-trema had landed only moments after the coralskippers had passed their landing site. Is it possible that they have been destroyed before we actually landed? he thought with disbelief. But this was the only possible reason. Aboard the ship they wouldn't have heard any explosions because the ship itself let no sounds from the outside into the cargo hold. The pilot must have seen the explosions. I better ask him before it's too late.
As he was just in the turn, he realized that it was already too late.
Ny'ong Yutt smelled ozone behind him, quickly ended his turn and brought up his amphistaff in a defense position, but it was useless.
The last thing he saw was a slightly glowing dot that approached in near light speed to a point between his eyes.
Then there was only darkness and pain.
Incredibly terrible pain.

Thank you. Since in this chapter there was only passive action, in the next chapter you can expect Ronan's POV and then there will be real action. 
Can you imagine a Noghri, a Togorian and a Devaronian kick some Scarhead asses? Well, you will soon

Thx, ner vod . And. uhm... this fic is written directly in English, no translation
The language is better than in my other fics (those translated from German), isn't it?

Thx you like it
@Kudzu Their real fleet is probably bigger. I don't know how many Mandos Boba has around TUF, but i guess the number about 300, rather more. But again, we actually know nothing about that. We just have to wait to the release of LOTF II

One thing I'm really bad at is inveting titles for my fanfics.
Y'know, Honor Guard has just nothing to do with my fic, and probably never will in the following chapters. I chose the title just 'cause there is some relation to the ancient Mandalorian Honor Guards.
Anyway, the point is that I really, really suppose that the title will be changed in future, when I have a better one.
Now, I still haven't found a good title, but I found one, that just is in Mando'a (the Mandalorian laguage):
Kandosii A'den - that means "Indomitable Wrath". This title has something to do with the fic: the wrath of being wiped out about 50 years before. The wrath against the outer-galaxy invaders, the Yuuzhan Vong. It has to do with Mandos in general, because they are indomitable in any way.
So just tell me: which title do you prefer? Honor Guard or Kandosii A'den?

Well... I think not everyone it too familiar with Mando'a so I leave both titles.
But glad you like it anyway

Very nice, Dave. Keep it up.
My favorite part is when a squadron is sent, but it just cuts to them sending another due to the destruction of the original one. Mandalorians kicking ass is always cool.
