Admittedly, Jedi Knight Echler was excited. Having been a key player in the struggle for the planet Gorost since before even the Clone Wars had broken out, when he had gotten news from the Council that a new force of clones and assault vehicles was being sent to effect a final capture of the planet, he had stepped up operations under his command.

Over the course of the past few days, Echler had used whatever units he had left at his disposal to begin preliminary demonstrations against known Separatist positions. The losses they had inflicted on the CIS forces had roughly matched their own, but it was of little consequence, because with the arrival of the new battlegroup and Jedi general, Echler wouldn't be in the same position as before, command-wise.

"Sir, we're here," called a clone pilot from the front of the gunship he was presently riding.

Afforded a good view of the landing area as the gunship circled and made its approach, Echler realized that the final push on Gorost was going to be a big one. He turned to one of the clone troopers standing with him, "This is what we've been waiting for. The Seps don't have a chance against this assault force."

The trooper chuckled to himself and then responded in agreement.

A few minutes later they had landed and the contingent of clones from within the gunship were following him across the plains to meet up with the new Jedi taskforce.

He arrived on scene and nodded to the other Jedi present, first addressing Master T’Schula Karr. "Good to finally meet you, Master, I'm General Echler. My battalions here have been hard-pressed over the past weeks. I have been demonstrating against them recently but have been unable to ascertain the defenses of the Retann city itself."
