Chapter 1: The Day It All Began
It was an era of fear and tyranny in the galaxy. The Supreme Chancellor, Sheev Palpatine, has revealed to be none other than the Emperor Of The Sith, Darth Sidious, the Galactic Republic has been forcibly re-organized into the Galactic Empire, and the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, has been turned to the Dark Side as Darth Vader. Not only that, but all across the galaxy, Clone Troopers are being brainwashed into turning against their Jedi Generals. With the Jedi all but extinct, the Empire has been taking complete and utter control of the galaxy.
Location: Planet Lothal
It shows several natives of the planet Lothal being forcibly extradited off of their homeworld by Imperial forces to be taken to slave-labor camps.
"Move it, you damned slouches!" said a Stormtrooper, as he slammed the butt of his rifle into a human's back.
"I can't take this anymore. You Imperials are sick in the damn head!" said a Twi'lek male. "If things were any different, then your 'Emperor' would be locked away for good! That way, the Jedi wouldn't have become endangered!"
"Well then, if that's the case…" said the Stormtrooper, as he aimed his rifle at the Twi'lek, only to be sniped from afar. The sniper was a Mandalorian male in lime-green armor with dark-green trim with a reddish-brown small cape, a Mythosaur skull on his left breastplate, and a stylized helmet. This was Shane Vancel, a survivor of the Siege of Mandalore who became a lone vigilante.
"Bulls-eye." said Shane, sounding like Guy from the Croods movie franchise. He then arrived to the area via his JT-12 jetpack, and fought the other Stormtroopers in hand-to-hand combat, using Akvian bare-knuckle boxing to beat down one Stormtrooper and give him a chest full of broken ribs with a single violent punch, and rendered an Imperial soldier concussed with a right hook. He then judo-flipped another Stormtrooper flat on his back, and stomped on his crotch.
"MY JEWELS!" the Stormtrooper yowled, tearing up under his helmet. Shane then grabbed him by the leg, and slammed him on the ground several times. Shane had gotten stronger due to several years of physical training. He then unsheathed his vibroknife from his left vambrace, and shanked one Stormtrooper on their left side, and then slashed his throat.
"Are you all gonna be OK?" said Shane, facing the people who were going to be extradited off-planet.
"Yeah. Thank you, Mando." said a Human female. Shane then whipped out one of his dual WESTAR-35 heavy blaster-pistols, and shot their handcuffs, destroying them. Shane then took off flying on his jetpack.
Later, it shows Shane riding his Joben T-85 speeder bike back to his ship, the Emerald Mythosaur. The ship in question was a cross between a Mandalorian "Razor Crest" dropship from before the Empire and a D5 "Mantis" cargo ship from the age of the Old Republic. Shane then got aboard his ship, and then set his helmet down. Without his helmet, Shane had neck-length reddish-brown hair, Caucasian skin with an olive complexion, and citrus-green eyes. Shane then activated a hologram of him with his parents prior to their passing.
Flashback
Location: Mandalore
It shows several different Mandalorians fighting Imperial forces to try and keep their planet safe.
"There's too many of them!" said a Mandalorian heavy gunner.
"We need to keep the planet safe at ALL costs!" said a Mandalorian male in emerald-green armor. This was Tarval Vancel, Shane's father. With him was Kento Vizsla, armed with a Darksaber that he built himself.
"PROTECT THE NURSERY!" said a Mandalorian soldier, as a female Mandalorian in green-colored armor was escorting Mandalorian children to safety.
"We need to move, now!" said the woman. This was Tarval's wife, Kessalla.
"Mom? Where's Dad?" said a young Shane.
"He's helping your godfather in the front-lines," said Kessalla.
"Blast them!" said a Stormtrooper, aiming his blaster at the Mandalorian children. Kessalla grabbed her blaster pistol, and shot at them, but was fatally shot in the stomach.
"KESSALLA!" gasped Laira Vizsla, who was the mother of Shane's best friend, Tarran.
"MOMMY!" Shane gasped, horrified to see that his mother got hurt.
"Shane….I need you to be brave for Mommy…you need to run. Now!" said Kessalla. With that, Kessalla passed away from her injury, and Shane teared up and ran to find his father.
Elsewhere, Tarvall was busy fighting Imperial forces, until they heard a mechanical breathing. Tarval got out his main weapon: a cross-guard lightsaber from a fallen Jedi Knight who he fought alongside during the Clone Wars. Darth Vader arrived, and ignited his red-colored lightsaber.
"You'd be wise to surrender," said Vader.
"Anakin, please…I know there's still good in you. I know that there's still a Jedi Knight who still has compassion." said Tarval.
"Not everyone still has good in their souls." said Vader, as he fought Tarval and Kento in a two-on-one duel, and it appeared that Tarval was gaining the other hand until in one violent strike, Vader sliced his hand off. Tarval screamed in pain, and Vader had him in a Force Choke.
"Anakin…please…don't do this…" said Tarval, strained.
"Skywalker is long since gone. I am all that remains of him now." said Vader. He then noticed Shane hiding. "Ah. A son. He'll learn what it is truly like to grow up without a family."
"SHANE! RUN!" Tarval screamed, until Vader then twisted his hand, snapping Tarval's neck
"DADDY!" Shane screamed. The young man then broke down sobbing.
"SHANE, GET OUT OF HERE!" said Kento to his godson/surrogate nephew. "I'll handle him!" Shane then got to his feet and ran to his father's ship.
Flashback Over.
Shane sniffled, still missing his parents. He then took a sip of water from his canteen. Suddenly, he heard a commotion from outside, and looked to see a Togruta female who had indigo-blue skin, silver lips, emerald-green eyes, and white markings wearing what appeared to be a cross between pilot and smuggler attire sniping Imperial soldiers with an IQA-11 sniper rifle, which was the preferred weapon of choice for bounty hunters and mercenaries.
"Bull's-eye." said the Togruta, sounding like Velvet Crowe from Tales Of Berseria mixed with Verosika Mayday from Helluva Boss.
"Nice work." said Shane, walking up to the Togruta female.
"Thanks," said the Togruta. "My name is Mora Han, I'm a Rebel stealth-and-espionage agent."
"I'm Shane Vancel. I'm the kind of person who looks out for the little guy." said Shane, introducing himself. Shane was starting to develop feelings for Mora.
Meanwhile, it shows a Zygerrian male who was colored and patterned like a Sunda clouded leopard with cyan eyes having shanked an Imperial agent in both kidneys with his vibro-knife, before lopping his head off with his vibro-sword. This was Dost Sarlek, a former Zygerrian slaver who was fed-up with how his kind enslaved and mistreated other species, so he defected to the side of good, and became a vigilante who murdered dangerous criminals.
"Screw those bastards." said Dost, scowling. "If anything, I'm done being a slave-trader, like my so-called 'kinsmen'." He then looked to see a Wookiee male with Auburn fur and golden yellow eyes, and a Zabrak male with tan skin, reddish-brown hair tied back in a high samurai topknot, and grassy-green eyes in beige and burgundy-red colored clothing.
"You two got names?" said Dost.
"My name is Rygran Seskarr. I'm a survivor of Order 66." said the Zabrak, sounding like Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid, as he was introducing himself. "The Wookiee is Gonghan, a Partisan soldier."
"Raaargh." said Gonghan. Dost then smashed the controls for the cages, and the two then walked out of their cells. Gonghan then grabbed his weapons, which were a bowcaster, a Wookiee rocket launcher, and a pair of Ryyk blades. Rygran grabbed a pair of dual lightsabers, which he combined into a double-bladed lightsaber, and holstered it on his belt.
"Let's kick some Imperial asses," said Dost, smirking. He then activated his Zygerrian energy-bow, and pulled back a magenta-colored arrow. Gonghan took aim with his bowcaster, and Rygran ignited his split-saber. The trio then rushed the Stormtroopers, with Dost shooting several of them with his energy bow, and then swapping to an Accelerated-Charged Particle Repeater gun, and opening fire. Gonghan fired from his Bowcaster, before drawing his Ryyk blades and slicing an Imperial soldier's arms off before slicing him to pieces. Rygran deflected blaster fire with his split-saber, and then struck down several Stormtroopers and Imperial soldiers with it as a double-bladed lightsaber, before splitting it into dual lightsabers and cutting down several Stormtroopers. Suddenly, Shane arrived alongside Mora. "Need a hand?" said Shane.
"Sure thing. The more, the merrier." said Rygran, smiling a little, as the five then beat down several Stormtroopers and Imperial forces. An Imperial agent backed away.
"You're going to regret this, once Lord Vader gets word of this! You'll be marked as outlaws by the Empire!" said the agent.
"Shaddup, jackass." said Shane, as he blew the agent's brains out with one of his WESTAR-35 blasters. "Hmmm…..'Outlaws'. I like that group name." he said, smiling under his helmet. "Starting today, our group's team is known as the Outlaws, and we're gonna take back the galaxy one planet at a time."
"Agreed." said Mora.
"I'm in." said Dost.
"As am I." said Rygran.
"Raaaggggh." went Gonghan, nodding in confirmation, as the five of them then headed back to Shane's ship, the Emerald Mythosaur.
Elsewhere, at the Fortress Inquisitorius, which was located on Nur, the oceanic moon of Mustafar, we turn to see the Grand Inquisitor facing a pair of Imperial Agents, who looked to have had the tar beaten out of them.
"So, you weren't able to apprehend these insurgents?" said the Grand Inquisitor, on the verge of losing his composure.
"Yes….we're sorry, Grand Inquisitor." said one of the agents.
"UNACCEPTABLE!" the Grand Inquisitor snarled, absolutely livid. "Lord Vader is furious, as is the Emperor, and so am I."
"Which is why we have a new batch of Imperial Inquisitors." said Vader via holo-communications. A group of Imperial Inquisitors then arrived.
The first Imperial Inquisitor was a male Nautolan, Kit Fisto's species. He had crimson-red skin with black markings and brown bands on his lekku, which were the dozens of tendrils on his head, and he was dressed similar to what Cal Kestis looked like if he became an Inquisitor. He also wore a mask similar to the Chopper Predator's bio-helmet from Aliens VS PREDATOR over his head, but it was completely black, and had a red visor and the Imperial insignia on the forehead. This was Zisa Stam, AKA the 13th Brother.
The second Inquisitor was a flesh-and-blood Kaleesh male dressed almost similar to the Fifth Brother. He wore a Kaleesh mask made of steel with red paint and the Imperial insignia on the forehead. This was Vel Shaessh, the 14th Brother.
The third Inquisitor was a Dowutin male with reddish-brown skin wearing attire similar to the Ninth Sister, Masana Tide. This was Zebkar Wudark, the 17th Brother.
The fourth Inquisitor was a Dathomirian female with white skin, white hair in a bob-cut, light tattoos, and icy-blue eyes dressed similar to the Second Sister, Trilla Suduri. This was Hosh Kizrut, a former Nightsister who became an Imperial Inquisitor known as the 15th Sister.
The fifth and final Inquisitor was a Trandoshan male who had jade-green skin and golden-orange eyes dressed similar to the Eighth Brother. This was Aggek Klannel, AKA the 16th Brother.
"I also have someone who has the powers of a Sith." said Vader, as another hologram appeared. It was a humanoid male dressed similar to Darth Jadus, but he wore the mask of Aloysius Kallig, and had a single-bladed lightsaber holstered on his belt. "Meet my new apprentice and personal assassin: Darth Nox."
"I also have recruited someone who thinks like a Mandalorian, since the one leading this rag-tag band of insurgents is a Mandalorian." said an Imperial commander, as a Mandalorian male in reddish-brown and rust-colored Mandalorian armor with a tattered cape, and the Imperial insignia on his left breastplate arrived. "This is the galaxy's deadliest assassin: Jerrek Fessth."
"Soon, the galaxy itself will know the true meaning of fear." said the Grand Inquisitor.
