I must say, that projectile rifle sounded sweet. Man, what i would do if i had that with 100 of those pain bulets...
I know this has been stated, but the Mandalorians are being a bit on the extra powerful side. A quick way to remedy would be to have some Vong go into closs combat, they are viscous when they get that close...

You're forgetting, that's when the Mando'ade start taking scalps....

I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead. Every single one of them...
...and not just the mechs, but the femmes and the protoforms too.
They're like Sharkticons, and I slaughtered them like Sharkticons! I hate them!

Totally correct, ner vod  
But Reven is right... in close combat, Scarheads fight way better than in ranged combat...
The Vong hadn't get in close contact to the Mando'ade yet, and the Mandalorian armor of a solider can hold off their bug-weapons quite easily.... - so that is something else that will obviously change, in addition of the loss of the element surprise, and, something... else...

As soon as you don't shoot one single Scarhead with them, you can do whatever you want....

Chapter Four
"Sureshot, this is Warlord. Position cleared and under control. You can proceed as ..."
What's that?, Ronan wondered.
Jatt's signal was suddenly interrupted and now there was only static.
"Warlord, do you copy? I repeat: Do you copy, Warlord?"
Only static answered him.
Rangir! Why doesn't he respond?!
"Honor Guards, we have a problem," Ronan called out. "We've lost contact to the Crusaders. But they did their job and obviously got the scarheads' attention. We will finish our mission here and then look for them. Meanwhile, the Lancers will have to hurry up and reinforce on our new stronghold."
The warriors confirmed with simple nods. There was nothing to be said at all.
Ronan went to the two wounded Mandalorians and asked them: "So, do you guys want to fight on or stay here until the situation is under control?"
"We will fight, sir," one of them reported. "A Mandalorian isn't slowed down by a mere wound. And actually, it would be more dangerous to stay here than moving on, sir."
"Correct, soldier," was Ronan's only response.
"Are all detonators planted, Grimes?" he then asked is explosives expert over comm.
"We're just finishing the last ship, sir. Ready to move on in two minutes," Grimes responded.
"Very well..."
A sudden explosion interrupted Ronan. He turned around and saw the transporter they had arrived with standing in flames, revealing a Yuuzhan Vong equal to an AT-AT-walker behind it, spitting flame-bolts on the hangar's entrance. The bodies of three Mandalorians that had been badly hit by the explosion lay around the ship, burning as well.
"You better hurry up," he told Grimes. "We have hard contact."
"Heavy fire on that walker. All others, retreat through the back door," Ronan ordered his men.
"Sir, there is no 'back door'," Darmen, a Mandalorian near to him equipped with a rocket-launcher, said confused.
"Really?" he asked, eyeing the warrior's heavy weapon.
"Ah, well," the warrior - who obviously got the hint - replied, aimed his rocket-launcher to the wall on the other end of the hangar and pulled the trigger, releasing a concussion missile, which made a perfect hole into the wall. Other Mandalorians already approached the 'back door' and cleared the position outside.
Ronan turned back to the entrance and saw his men firing missiles and grenades on the walker-alike. But somehow, the walker withstood the attack, for the particles didn't hit the weird creature and disappeared in small anomalies.
Now they have these dovin-basals already in their ground 'pets'... weird.
"All dets ready, sir," Grimes reported.
"Retreat, Mandalorians!" Ronan ordered the warriors that where still in the building, after confirming Grimes with a nod. "We don't want to be in here when the fireworks start."
*******
To say that Ayden Stone was angry would be a sheer understatement. He was furious, that was sure.
The Crusaders had fallen into an ambush like it stands in the book. The Yuuzhan Vong had buried themselves under the ground, waited until their comrades were nothing more than corpses, and then they had risen from below the hills of dead Vong, just as if they were zombies. Several Mandalorians had fallen prey to the ambush, among them their leader, Trynic Jatt, who had taken lots of hostiles with him to death. The platoon of formerly 36 men had been rapidly reduced to roundabout 20 warriors, or less.
The worst of all was that the higher ranked Mandalorians had stood pretty near to the corpses-hills and so all four sergeants had been killed. After the survivors had regrouped, there were only two more corporals alive, Ayden Stone and Fell Tagren. They had made Tagren to their makeshift lead and eventually returned to battle.
Stone was cautiously approaching the place of the ambush, together with his new squad of eight men, and scanned the site with his life-sign-visor. He could see about fifty hostiles and reported that number to Tagren, whose squad was approaching from the other direction.
Then he turned around to his own squad and told them:
"We must re-occupy this base. You are the more or less lucky survivors of the ambush and you showed courage and skills in fighting our attackers. You are the best we still have, and I want you to show that to these hu'tuunla crab-boys. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir," his squad replied.
"What do you do?"
"We show these hu'tuunla crab-boys that we are Mandalorians, sir!"
"Darn right, squad. Oya," he ordered.
Stone checked his carbine one more time and hoped that it wouldn't fail him again. In the ambush, he would've nearly been killed, just because his old slugthrower hadn't wanted to fire.
He pointed his squad to move on and approached the ambush site. The Yuuzhan Vong didn't seem to notice either Tagren's or his squad, so they could get very close without getting recognized.
Stone aimed his carbine to the nearest hostile, while the rest of his squad selected their opponents with their bunch of grenades, rocket launchers and flechette throwers.
As soon as he had a clear shot, Stone asked Tagren if his squad was ready. The new leader confirmed and ordered to fire at will.
And then, the odds changed, and a new ambush began.
The remaining Crusaders could take out half of the enemies without a response from the Vong, but the scarheads rapidly took cover and defended themselves.
The Vong were throwing their amphistaffs, razor bugs and thud bugs at the Mandalorians, who countered with grenades, missiles and blasts of blaster-fire and projectiles.
The battle proceeded quite balanced until the Yuuzhan Vong realized that they had no chance against their attackers in ranged combat. They left their cover and ran over to the Mandalorians, amphistaffs and coufees ready to strike.
But Ayden Stone didn't want the Yuuzhan Vong to reach them and give them an opportunity to gain an advantage, so he carefully aimed his slugthrower on the approaching hostiles and pulled the trigger of the flechette thrower.
Nothing happened. He pulled it again, but the carbine didn't do anything.
"Haar'chak!" he cursed under his breath and drew his sidearm.
Bad luck, Stone thought as he realized that the Yuuzhan Vong had already come too close, even for his low-range blaster pistol.
So he threw his just drawn sidearm away and extended the vibroblades in his gauntlets, preparing for the attack of three Yuuzhan Vong that were enclosing on him.
But there never came an attack.
The warriors had already made their organic blades to staffs, as a sudden explosion blew all three of them high in the air. A hundred meters behind the position where they just had stood a moment ago, Stone could make out about thirty Mandalorians, one of them, a strongly built Togorian without the T-shaped helmet, was aiming a grenade thrower over to Stone, with a smile on his cat-like face.
Relieved, Stone retracted his vibroblades and walked over to the Togorian.
"As you can see, the reinforcements have arrived," Atross reported sarcastically.
"Mar'e. It was just about time," Tagren, who was already with Atross, said. "Thanks for getting us out of this mess."
"I guess your attack proceeded more as planned as ours, didn't it?" Stone asked.
"We hit on nearly no resistance and only lost five men. We cleared the base as fast as possible and then came here with one of the AIAT/is," Kharritokh, the co-leader of the Lancer-platoon reported. Stone hadn't noticed the small Noghri before and was surprised that the warrior had showed up without being detected.
Stone looked more closely at Kharritokh and saw most of his body covered with dark red blood.
"Are you wou-," he started and then interrupted himself as he noticed that the Noghri had no wounds at all - the blood was from killed Yuuzhan Vong. "Sorry, never mind," he excused himself respectively.
This little grey fella's got some skill, man!
"We better get a move on," Tagren said. "This base is full of surprises, and I don't want to be here when the next one shows up. We better get hold of another stronghold."
"Agreed," Atross said. "Have you heard anything from the Honor Guards?"
"Not ye-," Stone started to say and then was interrupted by a click of his commlink.
"This is Sureshot," the voice of Ronan Barec came out of their comms. "We just blew up the hangar and will now move on to the coralskipper-growing plant. What's your status, Halberdier?"
"We just met the Crusaders and will now move on to the next base and try to make up our stronghold there," Atross replied.
"Confirmed," Barec said. "Next status-report in three hours. And good luck, Halberdier."
"You too, Sureshot. Over."
To be continued...
Please some critics and comments on that one, as usual...

Great chapter, Corran!
I'm sorry I can't write a review at the moment,  but you can be sure I'll put one down as soon as I've got sometime, either later today or tomorrow.

Maybe this artwork by Joe Corroney of Feskitt Bobb (to the right) and Alfreda Goot (left, a female Togorian) helps you:
and btw, it is just that Atross has no helmet - wouldn't fit on his head, anyway...
The Mandalorians are obviously humans. Togorians are second

As I said, only if you have time. But if you can do it later, it's cool. 
Thanks, again
