This story will be set around the time of the Lothal Rebels. This is set on a planet (I made up) called Dusket. They are the crew of the Death Raider a Modified YT-1300. They consist of three Women. Sara (14) Mara (23) and Alicia (19). Three Men. Cole (18) Kal (25) "Old Man" (60). They are all Humans. They also have a Rodian named Mati.

Sara and Mara were walking down by the market when they heard yelling. They ran towards the corner with their hands on their blasters. They turned the corner and saw people yelling at Stormtroopers. They were throwing rocks at them and yelling vulgar language. Sara noticed one Stormtrooper with an orange shoulder plate get pushed over. He got up and fired at the crowd. Sara and Mara grabbed their blasters and ducked behind a stand when a hand grabbed them.
"Don't," Kal said, "the old man wouldn't be very happy."
"Fine!" Sara said as she watched the remainder of the crowd run away. They stood up and ran away towards the Death Raider.
"STOP!" A Stormtrooper yelled.
They ran into an alley and ran behind the dumpster. The Stormtrooper looked in and turned his light on. He turned it off after not seeing anything and ran away.
"Let's get back to the ship!" Kal said.

"How was the trip?" The Old Man asked putting his arm around Sara and sitting down on the couch with her.
"There…." Sara said, she began to cry and couldn't finish.
"There was a massacre in the Market plaza." Mara said.
"Those filthy Imperial Scumbags." The Old Man said.
"Why don't you fight? You lead us but you don't fight." Kal said confused.
"He doesn't feel it is right." Mati said. Mati was The Old Man's best friend since childhood. Nobody knew where they grew up but The Old Man was very guarded about his past.
"No it's not that. I just don't like killing people who are brainwashed by an evil nobody can imagine. I have been through unimaginable thing and if its there's one thing I learned, the ones ordering the soldiers never do any fighting and only look at soldiers as expendables." The Old Man said looking up at the ceiling.
"Tell us when you change your mind." Kal said shrugging and going into his room not knowing what The Old Man has been through.

They all gathered in the morning at the onboard Holonet watching the Imperial News Broadcast.
"Yesterday on Dusket. Citizens fired on a Stormtrooper squad at the market plaza. They successfully repelled the attack. Interviewing the soldier who shot the people he says this." The commentator said queuing the interview to start.
"What's your operating number?" The interviewer asked.
"DS-1749." He said.
"Did they really fire at you first?"
"Yes. We suffered no casualty's."
"Did anybody get away?"
"No… No survivors."
"Thank you for your time CT-1749."
"This is bullshit!" Sara blurted out.
"I agree with Sara. They are messing with the story!" Kal said.
"That is the Imperial way…" The Old Man said.
"I can't stand for this!" Kal said.
"You may go do what you please but nothing irrational…" The Old Man said.
Kal grabbed his sniper rifle off the gun rack and ran off the ship.
"Anyone else?" The Old Man asked.
"I would but I'm tired. I can't stay up all night sniping bucket heads." Sara said walking towards her bunk.

Kal adjusted his scope and looked through it to check its visibility. Once he made sure he could shoot without missing he looked down the sights. He saw a bucket-head alone in an alley and shot him in the back. He scratched a tally mark onto his clone helmet that he wore sometimes but not this time.
"One more in the books…" Kal said as he engraved the marking.
He looked back through the scope and discovered three Stormtroopers checking out the body. He made sure nobody was watching and that his silencer was on and he shot the three down. He then shot down two more that were terrorizing kids playing Tauntans and Wampas. He engraved five more markings into his helmet. He noticed something he had never noticed before, and it said CT-782. It was an artifact from the clone wars as far as he knew but the fact it was used in battle was amazing. He had to figure out who this clone was.
"Hey you!" A Stormtrooper yelled.
Kal pulled out his blaster and shot the Stormtrooper in the face. He jumped onto his speeder and sped towards the marketplace. He dropped some Remote Explosives and signaled a code red marketplace by pulling the alarm. He hid his speeder behind a stand and he jumped onto the roof. Hundreds of Stormtroopers ran in, once maybe a thousand were in the marketplace, he detonated the explosives. He got on his speeder and sped away.

"A tragedy today. Thousands of Imperial Troops were killed on Dusket, in an explosion from rebel groups. Imperial sources say they are mad about the massacre of their citi- I mean they are continuing their attacks on the empire….. INB out!" The news anchor said.
"Wonder who did that?" Mara said looking around.
"I believe Kal could tell us…" The Old Man said.
"You have to admit it was pretty good." Kal said smiling innocently.
"You are a smart military mind Kal. I have a meeting in a little bit so can everyone leave." The Old Man said.
"Who's it with?" Cole asked wanting answers.
"Is it with your friends from your long ago childhood?" Alicia asked getting a laugh from The Old Man.
"No I can't say who and I'm not sure their true identity but just know it will help us." The Old Man said.
"It doesn't matter guys as long as it helps us." Mara said.
Once everyone left the room he pressed a button on the Holonet and a hooded figure appeared.
"This is Fulcrum."
