"I can see why the Empire restricts visits to this planet" Ezra said.
"Yeah, they lost a lot of ships and men taking this rock" Sabine said as she piloted their borrowed freighter to a small spaceport after coming out of hyperspace.
The spaceport they landed in was once known as one of America's state capitol's, Lansing Michigan. Once they landed they walked out and payed the credits to keep their ship there. As they walked down the streets they could see the scars the war left both on the buildings and on some of the people.
"There's our contact" Ezra said, noticing a boy around 16 years old wearing a blue jacket.
He saw them too and walked towards them.
He stopped in front of them and spoke in a quiet voice "Meet me in this building, but take a separate route from mine" then he handed them a small holomap.
They nodded in agreement. They walked along a different route to get to the warehouse. Once they were there they opened the door and were quickly pulled inside with the door slamming shut behind them. They looked around and saw several armed men including their contact.
"You two are lucky that you weren't spotted by a Red-Blade out there" he said as he walked over to a holotable and motioned for them to follow.
They followed him over to a holotable with a map of the planet.
"Alright let's get right to the point shall we?" he began. "In exactly three months there will be uprisings in cities throughout the world, we have managed to make contact with resistance cells all over the place and the combined uprisings executed on the same day will overpower the Imperial garrison within about two weeks, and to get rid of their blockade we managed to secure a few old missile silos" he said.
"How many total members do you think your combined resistance cells include?" Sabine asked.
"We believe somewhere around 5-12 million in just the cities, counting the countryside we put it around 30-35 million" he replied. "And the Imperial garrison only has about 15 million troops stationed here". "Plus there would definitely be those who would join our ranks once the uprisings start".
"Didn't expect you to have that many members" Ezra said in surprise.
"There's a reason why few people know about our planet, we have put up so much resistance to their occupation that if word gets out it could spark rebellion throughout the galaxy" he said with a serious tone and expression.
"Now, I know you're not just here to know our plans, but you need something from us" he said.
"Actually yes, we were told to ask if we could build a base here and recruit volunteers to fight the Empire with us" Sabine said.
"I'm pretty sure that both of those requests could be arranged" their contact said.
"Good, well I guess there is nothing else to discuss" Ezra said.
Ezra and Sabine walked back to their freighter and left the planet. While in hyperspace they talked.
"This intel is definitely valuable" Sabine said.
"Yeah, not only will they allow us to build a base on their planet, but they're letting us recruit volunteers too" Ezra replied.
"I hope their plan will work, It will cause a major blow to the Empire" Sabine said.
"I hope it works too" Ezra said.
