You are Second Lieutenant CT-42/458, the air has brightened to near blinding levels, your ears are ringing, and before you rises a mushroom cloud that is roughly 20 meters tall. Distantly you hear warnings blare of the radiation outside, and you are informed that your suit has successfully isolated you from the outside.
You sit up, using your blaster carbine as a crutch, and push yourself towards the wall. You attempt to survey the area.
The door to the room Phi is shut, you assume from the shockwave of the nuclear warhead. The warped and broken remains of Jackpot's AT-RT are spread out on the ground before you, half melted, though you are unable to see the trooper.
The area around the epicenter of the blast has been utterly annihilated, and you spot the scattered bits and pieces of droids, AT-RTs, and your fellow troopers roughly 10 meters around, many having been embedded into the building Bandit's forces were holding up in.
Everywhere, you see carnage oversaturated to be colored in bright whites and greys that are seared into your mind. Terror threatens to well up inside you.
Stay. Professional.
You grit your teeth. Situational awareness, Lieutenant. You need it.
Shielding your viewports with your hand, the glare from the explosion is reduced enough for the AAT to come into view. As the brightening effect of the explosion fade, you are able to make out the details of its armor. Smoke rises from its engines and there are dozens of scorch marks and rends in the armor from where shells have bounced off.
Crudely painted along the left side of the AAT in bright yellow is the old symbol used to represent radioactive material. The emblem has been painted over the scorch marks, and you can see where the newly applied paint ran in rivers of yellow down to the ground below.
