Jax watched as a Venator Class Star Destroyer came into Orbit. After an hour it landed at the landing platform.
"General Sintal, we are here to repel attacks from the Hutts and Sand People and train the local Militia, am I correct?" Rex said.
"Yes. I want you to take three of your best men with Kira over to that big walled in fort and begin training the Militia, I will take the rest and line them up on the side that the Tusken Raiders are attacking from." Jax said.
"Understood." Rex said as he walked away with three clones.
"Ok I want everybody lined up along the North side." Jax yelled.
"Let's move!" said a Clone.
Jax contacted the Admiral of the cruiser.
"General Sintal, what can I do for you?" Admiral Yularen.
"Where are Petro and Katooni?" He asked.
"Well they were umm…" Admiral Yularen seemed uncomfortable with the answer.
"Ok. I see where you're going, are they done or whatever." Jax asked.
"Yes they are walking out right now. They were sorry they overestimated the time." He said.
"Ok thanks Admiral." Jax said ending the call.
"Hey Jax sorry we're late." Petro said running with Katooni up to them.
"It's fine. We need to get down to the north side." Jax, Petro, and Katooni hopped on a speeder and went down to the North Side."

"Ok everyone stand up and get in a line!" Rex shouted as he entered the base escorted by the general of the militia.
Nobody moved they all looked at him confused.
"You heard the man!" Ruwee said.
Immediately they all got in line and Rex inspected them. They were mostly Rodian but there were some Humans and Dugs too. There were men, women, and even some young teenagers.
"The weapons most of you are using are very outdated and would have been in use when the Tusken Raiders first attacked Fort Tusken." Rex said as he examined one Rodian's weapon and found they all used the same weapon.
"We don't have the funding to buy new weapons so." Ruwee said.
"Ok, you're lucky we brought a shipment of E-11 Blasters. There the new and improved blaster." Rex said watching as some clones hauled in the blasters.
"Thank you General." Ruwee said to Rex.
"Now we will teach you how to fire these weapons. These Blasters are very accurate and will easily hit sand people at close range. I want everyone to take turns shooting at the targets." Rex said.
Ruwee watched for hours as target practice went on. He slowly saw some guys get better shots and soon the whole Militia could hit the target in red when it was twenty meters away.
"Alright! When an enemy is farther than twenty meters just focus on hitting him or her multiple times." Rex said.
"Practice for another hour." Rex said.
Rex watched for an hour and he was pretty impressed. They reminded him of the Onderon Rebels and how they were eager to learn. It was getting dark and they were still hard at work.
"Ok everyone go back to sleep and come back in the morning." Rex shouted.

It was dark outside and no sign of the Sand People. Jax was getting tired and woke Kira up.
"My turn?" She asked.
"Yeah." Jax said.
Kira watched as Jax fell asleep and she watched the distance. She had never seen Sand People in person but knew what they looked like thanks to posters all over Tatooine. It was a good thing the moons emitted off a lot of light. It was like sunrise the way the suns light reflected off the moon.
"General." A Clone said.
Kira jumped, she didn't expect a Clone to be up.
"Sorry General I didn't mean to scare you. I went on a scouting report and I found an army marching towards us. They should be over that hill in a few minutes." The trooper said.
"Good job-." Kira struggled to find a name for him.
"CT-5597, they call me Jesse."
"Good work Jesse. Awake your brothers so they don't die in their sleep." Kira said.
"WAKE UP!" Kira and Jesse yelled.
Most Clones got up and grabbed their weapons.
"SAND PEOPLE ARMY IS APPROACHING!" Jesse yelled.
As he said that Sand People came over the hills. They stopped abruptly.
"Hold your fire." Kira said.
Sand People suddenly started shooting and the Clones returned fire. The Militia came up beside them and started shooting.
"Watch what the Clones do." Rex said to the Militia.
"You should teach Clones when your too old to fight." Jax said.
"As long as I'm in the Republic and the Jedi's service I am fine with that." Rex said.
Jax noticed the Sand People start to retreat and signaled the Sniper Clones to come in. They managed to stop ninety Tusken Raiders from escaping before deeming the Sand People out of sight.
"Good work." Katooni said to the snipers.
"I'll take the night watch." Petro said.
"There's no need. The sun is rising and we will need to get into the city. We will set up a fortification on the walls of the city." Jax said.
