Hello all, since the fandom seems to have dried up a bit I have decided to introduce something new. This will be a series of "What if" situations where I put the Hamilton crew in a situation that we think would be interesting. In honour of the new Star Wars movie this chapter is:
What if the Hamilton crew were part of a rebel group against the Empire?
Chapter 1: Star Wars

"Whoa watch out!"
"I got it I got it!"
"They're still trailing us!"
"Zap can you shake them?"
"Of course I can!"
"You're doing a great job of that,"
"Jenny not now!"
"Dude I got one!" Dex shook his head at the tracker's enthusiasm. He aimed at one of the TIE fighters tailing them and fired. The ship lurched as Zap performed another spin to shake off their pursuers.
"Jenny, when can we make the jump to hyperspace?" the engineer growled in frustration.
"Give me a minute!" the craft shook from the impact of a shot. Zap dipped sharply and one of the fighters crashed into an asteroid, leaving two left. The Imperial Fleet still loomed above them, Dex continued firing at their pursuers, praying that somehow luck would side with them again. The ship lurched again and the TIE fighters came even closer.
"Jenny!" the engineer let out a breath crossed her fingers.
"NOW!" Zap activated the hyperspace sequence just as they cleared the asteroids. The ship rattled and jumped into hyperspace, leaving the Imperial fleet behind.

"That was a close call," Tung sat back in the common room, feet up on the table. Zap sat by one of the transmission stations, pressing the required buttons the engineer needed to fix their communicator. Dex was wondering the ship with his lightsabre in hand, thinking back to the days before the Empire, when he had been a mere padawan. He had never made it to knighthood, Order 66 made sure of that, but what kept him going was his master's final words.
"Escape, make sure you survive so you can continue to bring peace to the Galaxy."
And he had, meeting each of the others on the ship had brought a little peace and rebellion to the places he had been. As he neared the common room he heard a loud frustrated noise that, presumably, came from the engineer followed by a snippy comment from the pilot. He shook his head and replaced his lightsabre to his belt before entering.
"How's it going Jenny?" he asked cautiously, not wanting a screwdriver or a wrench thrown at his head. Jenny raised her head to answer him.
"Well, the communication system is all but fried. The hyperdrive system is only just working and I'll need to make some other repairs before we're floating dead in space," her words held an irritated edge. "I'm surprised it can fly at all, after the stunt you pulled," Dex held his hands up in defence.
"To be fair it was supposed to be a distraction,"
"Well you didn't have to keep flashing your lightsabre around like that, a long bright blue glowing blade is the equivalent to painting a red target on you back and shouting 'Hey! Here I am!'" Zap commented dryly.
"And dude, couldn't you have turned it off before running back to the ship?" Tung asked. "That's not smart thinking,"
"Alright, alright I admit. Not my smartest move, but we did get away,"
"We almost didn't thanks to Zap's piloting,"
"Hey!" he glared down at her. "I'm not the one that took so long with the hyperdrive. I thought you were a good engineer!" Jenny lifted her head and glared daggers at the pilot.
"Do you want to start this up again?"
"Hey guys calm down" Dex intervened the two before another argument broke out. "I'm heading back to the bridge so of you need anything you know where to find me," he paused before walking out the door.
"And don't kill each other please,"
"No promises," Jenny called out. Dex shook his head and left. Tung stretched and stood, yawning loudly.
"I'm going to find food and take a nap," he said lazily. "Today's been busy," when the door closed behind him Jenny turned and punched Zap's knee.
"Ow! What was that for?" he exclaimed. Boy her swing was tough.
"Sorry, needed to take my frustration out," she stood and let the tool her held drop into the toolbox, rubbing her neck.
"It's all good," Zap paused. "But you owe me for that,"
"Do I?" Jenny eyed his smirk mischievously, he nodded.
"Yeah, that was uncalled for," he pouted slightly, finger tapping his lip. "C'mon Jen-Jen," he teased playfully. She glared at him and punched his shoulder again, Zap chuckled.
"Okay, that was called for."
"You can be such a child sometimes," the frustration and anger had left her expression, leaving an adoring spark in her eyes.
"I know," he stood and wrapped his arms around her. "You know I didn't mean what I said," he felt her nod.
"I know. I didn't mean that either, completely." Zap smirked and planted a kiss on her neck, Jenny pulled away and smirked.
"You missed,"
"Okay then" he kissed her hard on the lips and pushed her against the wall. Jenny's fingers tangled in his hair and his hands rested on her waist. After a few minutes Zap's com beeped and they pulled away.
"Zap? Can you meet me in the bridge please?" he rolled his eyes.
"Sure thing Dex," he kissed Jenny again, softly this time before pulling away completely. "Better get back to work,"
She nodded and kneeled back down, picking up the tool she had been using.
"See you later,"
