The Ithorian couple fled when the first blaster shots rang out across the jungle. Imperial Black Ops troops descended on the refugee camp in the dead of night. Their mission was unclear. Were they after someone? Or just there to send a message? The Ithorian’s protector Keyan Farlander didn’t know and he didn’t care to find out. He raced along the tree line above eye level, leaping from tree branch to old stone wall with ease. Before the first trooper could raise his barrel high enough to get the pair of innocents in his sight, Keyan drove his lightsaber deep into the the enemy’s back. The man’s comrade yelled out in shock and let off a blast in Keyan’s direction. In two quick motions, the Jedi Knight deflected the shot and pierced his blade through the second trooper’s stomach. Turning to the grateful Ithorians he noticed they had a child with them. Keyan stretched out his hand to help them back up the steps but the father motioned him away. There were others in danger. More violent sounds echoed through the jungle and Keyan disappeared into the darkness he had emerged from.
