Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars or any of the amazing characters but I did use the material to create characters to add to the universe.

This story is about a group of Force Sensitives that are looking to join the Resistance, though it is set in the star wars univserse and does feature characters from Star Wars it is mainly about my original characters working for the Resistance to take out the First Order.

Prologue:

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

We find the galaxy still fighting to find its balance after the destruction of the Empire. A delicate peace reigned as the remnants of the Imperial Army struggled with what to do next while the ex-rebels worked on establishing the New Republic. During that time many children were born as there usually are in times of peace.

Under the Republic's noses a Force Sensitive being known only as Snoke was usurping an army to rival any army in the entire galaxy. Between clones who turned from the republic, fleeing members of the Imperial days, and children snatched from their homes, Snoke build his army slowly but surely all the while looking for the perfect apprentice.

Luke Skywalker, now believed to be the only Jedi Master, beings traveling the galaxy collecting apprentices and younglings to teach in the hopes of rebuilding the Jedi Order. Eventually he would take on young Ben Solo and settle on an unknown planet to begin his own Jedi temple and school.

During this peaceful period 6 heroes were born to help bring balance to the Force and the galaxy as a whole. Each facing and overcoming hardships that might break lesser beings. Each one thinking they are alone in this struggle to survive. They are the future of the Jedi Order or maybe even something new.

…

Eshreal Mecca

Our first hero comes from a planet called Quycury located in the Quinazy system located in the Asteria Star Galaxy which was outside the known and unknown regions of the galaxy known as the Skyriver.

The beings that lived on Quycury were described as humanoid beings with insect qualities such as antennae, insect wings, stingers or mandibles. The buildings were all-natural structures such as giant trees or very large flowers that grew very close together. The people of Quycury lived simple lives tending to their many pets and the plants that served as their food.

Many scholars had never even heard of the peaceful, lush flower covered planet until a Jedi Temple was built on it by the natural inhabitants of the planet when Force Sensitive children began being born around 250 BBY. Not long after the temple was built Jedi, from all over the galaxy were drawn to the one planet system causing trade routes to start extending out to the system.

The trade routes brought progress to the small planet and the inhabitants began selling goods that were already manufactured on the planet such as Curian Honey Milk made by the bee-like Curians that lived on the South Western part of the planet and Curian Crystalline Flower Jewelry made by the butterfly-like Curians that lived on the North Eastern part of the planet.

The Jedi who built the Curian Jedi temple were taught by a being named Yoda who came from the Skyriver galaxy all about the ways of the Force and the Jedi. Yoda warned them of the Sith and Dark Jedi, beings who would target the tiny peaceful planet as well as leaving Holocrons for them filled with his knowledge of the great Jedi that came before him. He also gave the 5 new Jedi master Kyber crystals and told them how to make lightsabers and where they could find new Kyber crystals for future generations of Curian Jedi. Yoda stayed with them for 20 years before feeling that they were able to fend for themselves should the Imperial Empire ever venture out near their system.

5 years after the battle of Endor the last Curian Jedi by the name of Eshreal Mecca was born to a Jedi father by the name of Jedah and a Curian woman by the name of Eisley Mecca. Before Eshreal was even born her father returned to the Curian Jedi temple to help teach the younglings. Eisley knew her husband was an important man among the Jedi that inhabited Quycury. She also wasn't surprised when her daughter turned out to be force sensitive like her husband.

Eshreal was beautiful like her mother with jewel like sepia eyes with thick lashes, broad nose and lush lips wrapped in cinnamon brown skin. At a young age her burgundy tresses hung down her back. She was born with the same butterfly wings and antennae as her parents. As she got older she learned to fold the wings away to become like a tattoo against her body. When the wings were present she was able to fly like all winged Curians.

Jedah came for Eshreal at the age of four when the Force awakened in her. Eshreal was sad and didn't want to leave her mother. She didn't care about these stupid powers that everyone was talking about she just wanted her mother. She had never even seen her father and now he was taking her way. Eshreal did not take well to life among the Jedi at first. She cried every day and refused to participate with the others. She clung to her father and wouldn't leave his side. Jedah occupied his child's time with teaching her to fix things around the temple including the temple's one droid.

The Grand Master of the Temple thought they were going to have to send her back to her mother until Eshreal saw a lightsaber for the first time. After that she was eager to learn everything about being a Jedi and the ways of the Force. The basics of the Force came easily to Eshreal as she was able to calm her mind and find the meditative state very well for a 5-year-old.

By the time she was 7 years old, Jedi Master Albedo took her on as his padawan. Eshreal was the youngest youngling to ever be taken as a padawan on Quycury. Jedah was very proud of his daughter and knew she would be properly trained as he had been trained by Albedo when he was a youngling.

Eshreal's favorite activity was lightsaber practice. Just holding the practice saber in her hands made her feel complete. Not that she wanted to use it on another being, she just wanted to build her own. She worked harder than all the other students taking on any extra chores that needed to be done and getting up early to start her meditation before anyone else. Master Albedo told her on many occasions that things like this can't be rushed and everyone learned at their own pace, but she was determined.

She was talented for her age but the other padawans were all older than her and had been at the temple longer, so they had more experience. After a full year of shadowing Master Albedo, Eshreal proved she was ready to go with the older padawan to the planet Ilum to participate in the Gathering Ritual to find Kyber crystals and build their own lightsaber.

Unknown to the Curian Jedi, Snoke had sent man to check out the first planet outside of Skyriver that anyone had saw fit to connect to a trade route. Upon learning about the Curian Jedi who had managed escape the consequences of the Jedi Purge the man reported back to Snoke. Before Snoke could send men out to Quycury a group of Jedi left the planet for Ilum. The First Order showed up with 5 battle ships, more than 10 tie fighters and thousands of men.

The peaceful Curians never stood a chance against the might of the First Order. They questioned and then killed every citizen they came across before using a Stardestoyer to blow it up leaving no survivors. The spy informed the commander that a group of Jedi escaped to Ilum, the Kyber Crystal planet.

Eshreal and 5 others had managed to sneak their way on to Ilum and used a secret entrance to get down into the mostly destroyed Jedi temple and Crystal Cave. They had been so busy taking out First Order soldiers and learning force techniques to survive in the climate that they had been on Ilum for a month before the 4 padawan even began the Gathering Ritual.

Eshreal was amazed when the Kyber crystal that called to her split into two identical pieces; one that glowed silvery green and one that glowed silvery blue. Master Albedo explained that the crystal could not decide on which color fit her personality and force presence better. Once the others had obtained their Kyber crystals the masters led the padawan back into the temple where the various parts needed to build the lightsabers were stored. The students then meditated on the pieces they gathered until the Force guided them to a design that worked best for them. The Force led Eshreal to a design that would use her two crystals in one weapon and decided to use a modifier that would allow her to manipulate the size of her blade as she wasn't very tall at the time and still wanted to be able to use it.

Eshreal was still in the temple while the rest of her group headed back to the ship. Master Albedo was confident that Eshreal could find her way back to the ship as she was very good at using her force senses. Just as Eshreal was coming out of the secret entrance she heard blaster fire as well as her master yelling for the Padawan to run and hide while they took care of the First Order soldiers.

Eshreal ran and hid in a mostly destroyed CEC YT-2400 Light Freighter that she had discovered while exploring the planet. The other students were much closer and when the First Order overwhelmed their masters it wasn't long before they were killed too. Eshreal was the only one to survive by sheer dumb luck that the men never thought to check the damaged ship.

Eshreal didn't learn that she was the only survivor of her planet until a week later when she overheard two First Order soldier talking about the destruction of a planet from another galaxy with Jedi on it. She was orphaned, and no one was coming for her now. She figured her only hope was to repair the abandoned ship and escape as soon as possible.

Eshreal was rather adapt in using the Force abilities Tapas which allows a Jedi to draw on power from the Force to keep herself warm in the fridge Ilum environment and Plant Surge which allowed her to manipulate the growth of the plants that were her main food source. She slept in the ship as it was the one place she never saw any stormtroopers. The first thing she did was clean the ship from top to bottom. When she wasn't cleaning the ship, she was out scavenging what she could from the Jedi temple, working on her Jedi learning as well as building her light saber and just plain surviving.

When she did run into the rare Stormtrooper, she used the Jedi mind trick to make them forget they ever saw her. For the ones that weren't susceptible to the mind trick she did what she had to in order to survive. At times she felt guilty but then she remembered that the First Order had killed everyone she ever knew, and they were spreading their evil plague across the galaxy.

It took a year to fully clean the ship from top to bottom. After that she began repairing the ship with parts she scavenged from the First Order and the few wrecks she could find. 5 years into fixing the ship Eshreal found a damaged R2-V5 astromech with a purple dome trapped under rubble from ship. The damage wasn't half bad and soon she wasn't as alone now that she had a new friend.

Eshreal continued mastering the force techniques she learned from her master as well as a couple that came to her naturally. She practiced with her double-bladed spinning lightsaber daily until it became an extension of her being. Little by little Eshreal and the astromech repaired the ship together.

It took 8 more long years before the ship was in good enough shape to fly with full use of the navigation system thanks to V5 the hull was mostly intact and Eshreal had a feeling it would at least make the trip to the next closest planet where she would be able to get the other parts she needed. The very last two things she would need to escape Ilum were parts for the hyperdrive. Eshreal had no idea where she would get either of those, but she had faith that the Force would not keep her stranded on this planet forever.

It was 14 years before Eshreal saw another friendly life form.

Cade Hacduel

Cade was born on the planet Uvena Prime, a planet inhabited by a humanoid wolf species known as Shistavanens, 6 years after the battled of Endor. When Cade was only 3 years old his family moved to Uvena Prime's sister planet Uvena 3 to join with the other colonist settling there. From a young age Cade was taught to hunt using his heightened senses and was very good at taking down prey. His mother and father were very proud of their only son.

When Cade was 5 years old the First Order came to Uvena Prime. Chaos erupted when the stormtroopers began killing the adults and taking the children. Fortunately for young Cade he was out hunting on his own when the stormtroopers made it to his home. His father was killed trying to stand up to the First Order, but Cade's mother ran and made it a little way from their home.

Cade was in the bushes near the tree line when he witnessed a stormtrooper about to execute his mother. Cade was about to run out to his mother, but she shook her head to tell him to stay where he was. He reached out for his mother and miraculously she was pulled toward him. The Force had awakened in Cade but there was nothing he could do to save his mother. The man killed her, and Cade fainted.

When Cade woke up his home had been consumed by flames and his village was empty. With nothing keeping him there he set off for the other settlements. Each one he found had met the same fate as his own. There didn't seem to be anyone left on the planet. Cade was all alone.

He was able to survive by catching his own prey and taking shelter in a cave that he found. He hoped that someone had gotten a distress signal out and that they would be coming to save him soon. He figured someone from his planet would eventually come and check on the settlements at the very least. But no one ever came.

For a whole year Cade survived on his own. When someone did show up it wasn't who Cade was expecting. A female Mirialan by the name of Rhimar Ordi landed on the planet looking for someone to fix a piece of equipment she needed for the mission she was on as Uvena Prime and its sister planets were known for their technological advancements.

Cade saw the lights from her ship and came running. He was very disappointed and excited at the same time. He begged her to take him home but Rhimar informed him with a heavy heart that his planet was no longer there. The First Order had destroyed it along with several other planets. Cade was devastated.

Rhimar couldn't leave the poor child all alone and offered to bring him home with her. Cade didn't want to stay on the planet alone, so he went with her. She told him that she was Rhimar Ordi, bounty hunter for House Benelex. The news excited Cade but not as much as learning that he was indeed a wielder of the Force. Rhi couldn't train him in the ways of the Force as she was not Force sensitive, but she could tell because her species has a naturally strong connection to the world around them and could feel the Force in living things. Because of this she decided to raise Cade as her own.

Rhi took Cade back to House Benelex's headquarters on the planet Paqualis in the Paqualis system and vouched for him to Corvastan Benelex, the leader of House Benelex. Corvastan approved Cade based on Rhimar's amazing record as a bounty hunter for the Guild. Cade was too young to go on real missions with Rhimar, but she still felt it necessary to train him in every form of martial arts she knew as well as all forms of weapons training. In his spare time Cade loved spending time down in the guildhouse armory learning to and helping fix the damaged or broken equipment brought back by other guild members.

He spent 4 years observing others and going with Rhi on missions but staying on the ship. At the age of 10 Rhimar officially took Cade on as her apprentice and taught him the ropes of being a bounty hunter. During the 5 years that Cade traveled with Rhi as her apprentice as well as the first 3 years afterwards, Cade collected scraps of ancient Jedi texts and stories from throughout the galaxy.

He knew he was Force sensitive from a young age but had no way of honing his skills. He was only able to master the abilities that came naturally to him. That is what made him start collecting everything he could find about the Jedi and the Sith.

Cade quickly made a name for himself in the guild and by the age of 15 he an expert in hand to hand combat and an expert with any kind of weapon whether it had a blade or a trigger. Once he was allowed to start taking on his own contracts he vowed to get revenge on Snoke and the entire First Order for the genocide of his people and the murder of his parents. By the time he was 18 he had about 300,000 credits saved up from his numerous acquisitions.

Around the time he turned 18 he met his first true friend besides his surrogate mother, a Zabrak named Zer-o. He and Zer-o trained together in the Force and went on missions together. They were some of the fiercest warriors the Guild had ever seen and racked up the most confirmed bounties in a 5-year span in the Guild's history.

When they had amassed enough credits, they decided to go off on their own to try to formulate a plan to achieve their ultimate goal which was to take down the First Order. They went on missions and made enemies along the way, but they always got out of whatever sticky situation that they got themselves in.

Zer-o

Zer-o was born on the planet Dathomir in the Quelli sector inside the Outer Rim Territories 9 years after the battle of Endor. He was born to a nightsister named Megria and his father was an unknown nightbrother. Since the moment of his birth Zer-o's mother believed that her son was special and did not allow him to suffer the fate of most males on Dathomir which was to be trained to become a Sith Lord.

Instead she hid him in a cave on the outskirts of town and visited him often to train and teach him the ways of Dathomir. Since Zer-o was able to walk he was trained to be a warrior by his mother. She tested him both physically and mentally. He was intelligent as well as strong. Megria focused his training in the shadow killer's style, knowing that stealth would be his biggest survival tool.

On Zer-o's sixth birthday his mother witnessed the Force awaken in him when she saw him levitate a tree that had fallen in the swamps of Dathomir. By the time Zer-o was 10, he had not only mastered the pike, mace, spear, ax, sword, and chain-sickle. He had also master his home world's martial art K'THRI.

His mother was astounded at how fast he was able to learn new techniques and master them further fueling her belief that her son was chosen to walk a different path than those before him. Once Zer-o reached puberty at age 11, his mother started to teach him the teachings of the nightsisters and how to commune with the Winged Goddess and the Fanged God. This was absolutely forbidden and Megria knew that it would almost certainly lead to her death, but if her son could also learn and eventually master the Dathomir magic he would be an extremely powerful force to unleash upon the galaxy.

She also provided her son wit his own facial markings identifying him as an unparallel force to other Zabraks. Unknown to his mother, Zer-o had already started tapping into Dathomir's power and had gained the ability to commune with animals and plant life that lived on the planet using the ur-spirit and twin spirt. This meant that Zer-o was able to tap into Dathomir's life web by speaking to the spirits and had the ability to communicate with and control any creature or plant of any type.

His mother taught him from both the Book of Law and the Book of Shadows, feeling that her son needed to understand both light and dark were just two sides of the same coin. She wanted Zer-o to understand that this same theory applied to the Force. There was no dark or light, only the Force. He would either learn to use all of it or none of it.

A year into Zer-o's Force/magic training his mother's treachery was discovered by the nightsisters with the help of the First Order's Leader sensing a disturbance in the Force. A manhunt ensued ending in Megria's death, but not before she could get her son on to an unoccupied First Order ship. He was able to make it off of Dathomir.

All Zer-o had left were the books and vibroblade given to him by his mother. His ship eventually crash-landed on the forest planet Cholganna. He stayed on the planet honing his skill for the next two years.

During his second year on the planet Zer-o stumbled upon a Nexu cub whose mother had been killed by a larger predator. He later named her Shira and kept her as his companion. She was his first and only friend while there.

Now 14, Zer-o felt it was time to leave Cholganna and find the purpose his mother always talked about. So, he and Shira snuck aboard a trader ship to get off of the forest planet. Once they left the planet's orbit he stole one of their smaller drop ships.

Zer-o and Shira set off to explore the galaxy. He spent the next year wandering the universe, picking up various skills such as weaponsmithing and mechanics. Zer-o was interested in anything involving technology and would often take things apart without asking just to figure out how they worked.

One day he met a Shistavanen named Cade who was a bounty hunter. Since Zer-o had never really encountered people besides his mother they got off to a rough start but eventually became good friends. After helping Cade with a bounty, the 15-year-old was offered to join the guild which he readily accepted.

Cade's mentor Rhimar Ordi took Zer-o on as her second ever apprentice and trained him much the same way that she did Cade. The three of them went everywhere together and Cade shared all of his knowledge of Jedi and ways of the Force with Zer-o. The two of them trained together as much as they could, and Zer-o got the feeling that Rhi was glad that Cade had made such a good friend.

4 years into Zer-o's apprenticeship under Rhi, Zer-o and Cade thought themselves hotshots and went out on their own. While they were gone Rhimar was killed by the First Order. The boys were devastated and infuriated. They took personal time off from taking bounties, both stating that it just didn't feel the same without Rhi.

They took off on their own in a barrowed YT-1930 Transport ship with whatever equipment they needed. House Benelex let the boys go and told them that they were welcome to come home whenever they felt that they had gotten revenge for Rhimar's death. Their quest for vengeance always ended up getting them into trouble.

Arca Gearsky

Jeta is an Arkanian/Sephi hybrid born almost 120 years before the Battle of Endor on the planet Arkania. Before long he traveled to the Planet Kamino where he studied under Taun We who was the Project Coordinator of Arkanian Microtechnologies where he helped develop the clone armies that were so sought after at the time.

Jeta cloned himself several hundreds of times, each one imperfect in its own way. Some of them died in infancy, others barely made it to childhood and others still barely made it into their teens. Once he got the clones to survive into their twenties he went on to experiment more to prefect the clones further for personal use as well as for the Imperial Empire and later for the First Order. Arca Gearsky was the clone son of Jeta Gearsky born 11 years after the battle of Endor on the cloning planet Kamino.

Arca was the first and only clone to be born Force Sensitive and the only one that Jeta allowed to grow naturally. Jeta raised Arca from a baby though only told the young Arkanian/Sephi hybrid that Jeta was only his Master and close relative not his father. He explained their likeness away by saying they had strong genes. Jeta felt that the boy would work harder if he got no special treatment.

From a young age Jeta trained Arca in many forms of hand to hand combat and during the day Jeta would allow Arca to shadow him around the lab as he went about his work. Arca had all of the knowledge of Jeta and was considered a child prodigy and genius. He loved helping with the experiments and the various projects being done of Kamino.

Once Jeta felt the Force awaken in young Arca he knew Snoke would want him trained in the ways of the dark side. Jeta was also not in a position to refuse the First Order anything. So, when Snoke came to check on the makings of his clone army, he took time out to test young Arca's abilities and strength in the Force. He was impressed enough personally train him while there.

After a while Snoke left but Arca continued training in the ways of the Force and the dark side. He also began preforming experiments on himself and others in an attempt get stronger. His Force abilities grew as did the darkness planted there by Snoke.

Snoke corrupted Arca much more than Jeta had known. So, to counter the darkness growing in his clone son, he began teaching Arca everything he knew about the Jedi in secret. To cover his tracks, he trained Arca in the arts of diplomacy and espionage. No one questioned his training.

Arca was a natural master at precognition and often saw things before they happened. Because of this Arca was able to warn Jeta anytime they were about to be discovered or when Snoke was going to enter Arca's mind for their 'training' sessions. Arca didn't understand what was so wrong with understanding all sides of the Force as that seemed the only way to Master it.

26 years after the battle of Endor the Kaminaons who ran the cloning project recognized the genius of Jeta and promoted him to Project Coordinator in place of Taun We. Jeta and Arca were awarded many luxuries and the First Order became even more interested in the pair. Jeta didn't want his son being anymore involved with the First Order and began searching for a way to get his son away from Kamino and the First Order.

The opportunity came in the form of two bounty hunters who showed up on Kamino. They came to the planet under guise of chasing a bounty. Arca warned Jeta that the Shistavanen and Zabrak were really there to steal tech from the lab. Jeta sent his son to confront the thieves while he went and packed Arca's things.

When Arca confronted Cade and Zer-o, Cade offered Arca a rather large container of hyperfuel if he would let them go with the piece of tech that they stole. Arca offered to escort him back to their ship though he figured there was no way they were just traveling around with a large container of hyperfuel. Along the way someone noticed Cade carrying out the stolen tech and set off the alarm.

Arca led Cade and Zer-o to the hanger. Stormtroopers filled the hanger as Zer-o started their ship and Cade was trying to prevent Arca from getting on their ship. Suddenly Jeta appeared and all but shoved his clone onto Cade and Zer-o's ship. He pleaded with Cade to take his apprentice with them. Cade was about to refuse until Jeta said he was trying to get Arca away from the First Order.

Arca was confused as the stormtroopers yelled at Jeta to surrender and remove 'the clone' from the enemy ship. He held them off with a blaster. Zer-o got them out of there just as the stormtroopers shot and killed Jeta. The stormtroopers reported Arca's escape and the First Order began hunting the bounty hunter transport ship.

Neither Zer-o or Arca were happy about their new situation. Arca wanted to go back home but Cade informed him that they were looking for the Resistance so that they could help take down the First Order. Arca figured he could liberate his friends back on Kamino and stop the First Order and Snoke from killing anyone else.

…

Zer-o, Arca and Cade had been traveling and dodging the First Order for 2 months before they found themselves in the outer reaches of the Galaxy. They were fleeing from a First Order ship when they were shot down. The three began to panic as their ship began fall into the Orbit of a First Order controlled planet.

Eshreal and V5 were collecting scrap for random patchwork on the ship when she felt something pulling at her. She opened herself to the Force and felt 3 life forms rocketing toward Ilum. Something told her that they would need her help when they landed so she took off running with V5 rolling along behind her.

The YT-1930 Transport hurtled to the ground and crashed into the icy terrain. The outside peeled away as it slid along. Eshreal ran after it but then another ship descended onto the planet. She could tell that it was a First Order ship. Eshreal sent V5 to check on the life forms. The astromech beeped a long response before zipping over to the wreckage.

Zer-o was the first to crawl out of the front of the ship. He had a few minor cuts and scrapes but was otherwise unscathed. Eshreal's purple and white astromech beeped wildly at the Zabrak. He cocked his head but said nothing. Cade came out of a tear in the hull with Arca behind him. The three males turned just in time to the droid's owner shrug off her heavy cloak.

Eshreal pulled her double-bladed spinning lightsaber from her hip and activated it causing the silvery green and silvery blue blades to ignite from the black handle with gold rings around it through the outer ring where the steel blades raised up like teeth. The ship landed and 10 stormtroopers got off with their blasters raised. Eshreal's wings erupted from her back and she took flight.

The Stormtroopers hesitated for a second and she dove for them her blade cutting through two Stormtroopers easily. Over the years she had mastered her chosen lightsaber fighting style known as Atura and could preform the various leaps and flips easily thanks to her wings and ability to fly. She spun her blade taking out the stormtroopers with very leap. Soon she was the only one standing.

Arca, Cade and Zer-o looked on in amazement as she turned off the blades and her red, burgundy and tan wings folded away to nothing. She picked up her cloak and skipped back over to the wreckage of the YT-930 and began stripping away pieces of the hyperdrive. The men protested but Eshreal explained that they wouldn't be flying off of Ilum in their ship and she had a better ship.

Cade and Zer-o argued that they could just take the shuttle that the Stormtroopers had arrived on but Arca informed them that there mostly like was a built-in tracker and the First Order would just find them again immediately. Eshreal told them that she had a ship and that's what she needed the parts for. She also informed them that they might want to check out the collection of Kyber crystals that she had collected over the years. She had a feeling that they would be needing their own lightsabers in the weeks to come.

So, while she reconstructed the hyperdrive on the YT-2400, the guys worked on their own lightsabers with the help from Eshreal. Arca decided not to look for a Kyber Crystal as he did not think he needed a lightsaber. Zer-o created a lightsaber that fit into a blaster pistol attachment with a purple blade. Cade created a rather simple looking lightsaber with a yellow blade with a blue core though he kept insisting that it wasn't finished.

Unfortunately, they didn't have time to wait any longer as a stardestroyer dropped out of hyperspace two days after they had arrived. Eshreal finished up the hyperdrive with the help of V5 and they were able to escape into hyperspace before the stardestroyer could even get their TIE fighters out of the hanger. The guys were impressed with Eshreal's flying skills.

Now that they were relatively safe Eshreal asked what they did to have the First Order hunting them so vehemently. They explained that not only had aided the escape of a First Order clone, which Arca violently disagreed to being from a secure facility, they had also stolen a bunch of tech from them. Eshreal didn't have a problem with that. In fact, she felt that her new friends were exciting, and she was grateful to have someone real to talk to.

…

The four of them traveled around the Outer Rim avoiding the First Order as much as they could while they learned about the Force by pooling their information between the four of them. Before they knew it, years had passed, and word had spread about Han Solos death, Rey cutting down Kylo Ren in the forest on StarKiller Base, the destruction of the Hosnian system, and even Snoke's murder by Rey and Luke Skywalker's fade into the Force.

After what was left of the Resistance fled Crait in the Millennium Falcon, the group began collectively searching for light Force user throughout the galaxy. They were hoping to learn from Rey as it was rumored that she had been taught by Master Skywalker before killing Supreme Leader Snoke. It wasn't long before they heard rumors about Rey and her friends liberating some rebels from a planet of giants with led to the capture of General Hux.

The thing that actually led the group to the Resistance was when the group were out looking for something. It wasn't until they followed one of the scouts back to a planet in the Amara System called Olara that they figured out why.
