Ka'knar Village, Kashyyyk
The sun was setting behind the huge treetops of the forest. A Galactic Alliance ship was setting down on the landing pad as a flock of birds left the village. As the ramp lowered, two men, both in hoods, walked out.
"Is this the place? Why would the Collapse want to show their face again?" the man in white hood asked, looking at the broken down gates to the village.
The other man, clad in a dark blue robe, shrugged, "I'm not sure. Though it could have something to do with the death of Shelit"
As they walked into the village, they both got the feeling of being watched. Shadows of wookiees, and even sullustans, seemed to be stalking them as they made their way to the plaza where their contact was to meet them.
Setting foot in a Wookiee village, even one that was abandoned, was a daring thing to do. Exiled Wookiee's and criminals sometimes used them as training facilities, and several teams had been lost before.
They were greeted by a Wookiee statue holding a Vibroblade with the name Chieftain Marr'kur inscriped on the blade. From the hut, a person clad in blinding armor approached them.
"A pleasure to see you again, Rann" K'can removed his helmet to get a better view of the hooded men.
They just looked at each other before pulling down their hoods. But instead of Rann, K'can was greeted with his former teammate, Lucir, and his former commander, Latosh.
Latosh smiled, "Having sunken so low, K'can?"
The Zabrak just shook his head and ignited his lightsaber.
"You never told us you were able to wield a lightsaber?", Lucir backed off.
He just laughed, "I took a few lessons under a rogue Jedi. Turns out i'm somewhat of a natural at using a lightsaber", he leaped at Latosh but was stopped by a shot to the thigh.
Rann approached the three from the shadows, holding up his commlink, "All right, Lenka, we got the prisoner. Contact the others"
"Right as we planned", Lucir lifted up the stunned K'can
The ship they had arrived in descended onto the Plaza, allowing the team to board it.

Ikni watched as the ship escaped, "Commander, they took him away. Requesting permission to follow?"
Rert sighed, "Negative. I know exactly where they're heading," he turned around "Set course to Felucia"

Abandoned New Republic Base, Felucia
As K'can opened his eyes, he was met by a bright light shining into his eyes.
"Rann, you pathetic ex-", he was interrupted by the light being turned off.
Two persons infront of him was talking, one of them obviously being Rann, the other one possibly Latosh.
"Look, Lieutenant, the Collapse fleet is on approach. Most of our fleets are scattered, and we only have a few ships remaining", Latosh sighed and looked at K'can, "Five ships at most. Two Star Destroyers, and four Mon Calamari cruisers is all we can spare"
Rann nodded, "Make it so, General. We'll make sure to give the Collapse a run for their cause"
He turned around and smiled as he approached K'can, "Betrayal is an interesting thing, K'can" Rann picked up a blaster pistol from the top of the malfunctioning terminal to his right, "It tends to fall back on you"
"You'd never kill me. That's not the way of the Galactic Alliance. Torturing and killing prisoners" K'can laughed.
This caused Rann to join in on his laughter, "Time's has changed, K'can. And maybe the Galactic Alliance frown upon executions, but i don't. Especially not when people i care about is killed"
Taking aim, Rann's expression changed to a more serious one, "Where is Kana?"
"Why would i know?", K'can asked, as he began to panic.
"Wrong answer", Rann pulling the trigger on the pistol, finishing off K'can.
Leaving the room, he threw the pistol to Lucir, "K'can was killed on Coruscant in a shuttle crash. His body was never recovered, Lucir"
Lucir nodded and holstered the pistol, preparing for the upcoming battle with the collapse.
