| The Mandalorian's shot at honor and glory has already begun. He would not need a podium, reporters, all that fancy flashes. That surely would attract attention to the Remnant anyway. Instead, he was inside a warehouse on Mygeeto. The warehouse was not the Resistance's, they did not have a permanent base of operations just yet. He had called in a favor from a smuggler friend of his, which is the leader of a very small smuggler faction. The Mandalorian had helped saved the smugglers from being captured by the Remnant several years prior. Anyway, that isn't what's important. All Anubis needed was to be simple and direct toward his men that come to be named "Ljaa bal kote." It meant honor and glory in Mando'a, the native tongue of the Mandalorians. The warrior has no army, but rather seventy-five sentient beings that are more than willing to die for his cause. As typical in the Mando'ade culture, he would come to embrace every single sentient being as a brother or a sister. Because of that, he felt they earned the right to see his true face. The warrior would take off the helmet, putting it on the right side as his right arm was holding it. Anubis took his time in looking at every warrior from left to right. There were a small numbers of Mando'ade warriors in attendance, swearing their allegiance to Anubis cause. There were also warriors that could rival that of the Mandalorians. They were Kaleesh warriors, though in similar numbers as the Mandalorians in attendance. The Kaleesh had told him about the bombardment during the Galactic Civil War and Qymen's failed resistance. They desired to free their homeworld someday, and Anubis welcomed their input. The majority of the Resistance are disillusioned Republic soldiers and intelligence agents and those that simply are eager to take up arms against the Remnant. Normally, Anubis Xerxes would speak in Mando'a. However, because the large numbers of people that flocked to join doesn't understand the Mandalorian language. He opted to use it in Galactic Basic. "Brothers and sisters, look left and right. That's right, look into each other's eyes. You are all here for the same cause as I. We are here to do what the New Republic couldn't do. We are here to get rid of the Galactic Empire. I call them Galactic Empire because as long as they exist, they remain a threat to every sentient being in the galaxy. We may not have an army, but we are seventy-five sentient beings that are very willing to sacrifice our lives for a honorable cause. We are not seventy-five sentient beings, but we are one people. We are in this together. I cannot assure us that we will win, but I can assure you that we will take down as many Imperials as we can. If we show that we truly believe in our cause, more will join. If the New Republic won't take the fight to the Galactic Empire, then we will. Today, Ljaa bal kote have officially declared war on the Galactic Empire. We have a long road ahead of us, I am honored to fight alongside you." The Mando'ade would stop speaking, as an eruption occured throughout the room. The Mando'ade would then walk toward a man, putting his left hand upon the man's shoulders. "Lieutenant Antilles, go to Raxus Prime. You must attempt to convince the overseer over there to hand you over a pile of battle droids and pilot droids. If you see a CR90 corvette or a DP20 frigate in the junkyard, negotiate to have it fall into our hands. Don't worry about the money, I have it covered." The lieutenant would raise a salute, Anubis saluted back to the man. The Mando'ade proceeded to another man, "Major Wells, you were a Republic intelligence agent. Can you try to get a hand on Imperial codes? We're gonna need access to the bases on Kalee, Ruuria, and Borgo Prime." The major would offer a salute, and Anubis would salute him back as well. Now that he has sent both of his men on his mission, he would spot the man he had recently recruited on Tatooine. The Mando'ade warrior would slowly walk over, extending Kenas a warrior handshake. "It's good to see you come down here so soon. Shall I get you acquainted with the Resistance? We have a lot to do if we plan on defeating the Galactic Empire." Quite a ride Anubis was on. He went from a bounty hunter to a farmer. Then back to being a bounty hunter. Now, he's propelled to a warrior and a leader.

| It has been a while since anyone other than his brother, Zack, has been seen appearing somewhere other than their small hut back on Tatooine. Dustil was scarred by the actions the Imperial Remnant had committed upon his crew within his own warship at the time. Thankfully, Zack was not present. However, his brother had informed him that the Remnant had destroyed their base on Ahlenn. Zack was also "forced" to hand over the Patriot Defense Services over to Drayson Loran to avoid facing the charges. Zack had been hiding with several pirate factions ever since, Dustil was imprisoned by this Imperial called Gemmell for nine years and was not treated well. It wasn't that long ago he was released, but he could have died if the Republic did not spot the escape pod he was inside that Gemmell had jettisoned at Coruscant, along with his dead crew. The man had finally managed to run, and it was very recent. It didn't help the fact that he was a fifty-six years old man, which made the healing process slower. Once Dustil was able to get himself back into shape, he convinced Zack to join the Resistance led by a Mandalorian named Anubis Xerxes. He found out about the Resistance when Anubis knew of his former occupation, the Mandalorian had persuaded him and his brother to join and so they did. Although both of them strongly believed in the cause, they joined primarily out of the memory of the crew who happened to be their friends as well. Dustil had a pair of D18 pistols within his holsters, while Zack had a DL-21 pistol within his. They will fight on the frontlines if they have to, and they will when needed. However, they knew that because of their age and condition, they were forced to fight through other means. They had decided to serve a dual positions within the Resistance. The primary role would be intelligence agents. Both men have a lot of connections with the pirates throughout the galaxy, and they believed it would serve their brothers and sisters in arms very well. Secondly, they would also serve as pilots as they have a lot of experience flying inside fighters and light freighters. Dustil and Zack cheered along with the rest of the Resistance when Anubis was done giving out the speech. They would look at each other for a moment, knowing that if they wanted to finish their unfinished business, they would have to work as Resistance members in order to defeat the Imperial Remnant. They had determined that their fate would be tied to that of the Resistance, and they had hoped the outcome would be successful. Dustil had reason to believe that Ljaa bal Kots would be far more successful than the former version of the PDS. The big part of that is because there are people specifically trained in warfare within the Resistance.

| Roth clapped his hands politely as Anubis finished his remarks. Yes, he was there too, having convinced Anubis back in Mos Eisley that he was interested in joining his resistance movement, the Ljaa bal Kots. He was under the alias Saege, however. He'd told the Mandalorian that he was, until recently, a Major in the Imperial Army who had been assigned to protect a shipment of armaments on its way to the Sepan system, where it would be used to reignite the Sepan civil war that had killed tens of thousands of beings over the course of four decades until, finally, a tenuous peace was reached. The Empire, Saege explained, had ended the civil war in the first place, but now that the Sepan system was in the hands of the New Republic it no longer had any desire to keep the peace there. It was the duplicity of this that had turned Saege away from the Empire, he told Anubis. According to his story, he'd commandeered the freighter Gundark that had been carrying the cargo as it neared Ripoblus, ejected the crew in an escape pod, and took off for Hutt Space. Since then he had made a few credits here and there by selling the weapons on the black market, and that's how he'd come across Anubis who, on Tatooine, had been looking for armaments. Sure enough, Saege had agreed to provide the resistance with blaster pistols, rifles, carbines, and even a PLEX missile launcher as long as he would have the honor of joining the resistance himself. It was a nice story. A complete lie, of course, but there was no way for Anubis to know that. There was a ship called the Gundark that had been stolen over Ripoblis—Roth knew this because he'd stolen it exactly as he'd said, except, of course, that it had not been for the reasons he'd said. It was also true that he'd been selling weapons on the black market recently, although this, too, was for other reasons. The weapons he'd provided to Ljaa bal Kots were straight from Imperial surplus, many of them in poor condition. The PLEX launcher was in reasonably good shape, but the first missile in the magazine would explode inside the launcher the moment it was fired. Roth reminded himself not to be nearby when it happened. Roth made himself look impressed by Anubis' speech, when in fact he didn't find it all that impressive. These were people who believed in things, like "honor" and "glory." Roth resisted the urge to scoff. He believed in nothing, not even the Empire. Belief was weakness. He made a point of staying near Anubis and listening closely as he gave his instructions to the others. So, the Ljaa bal Kots intended to salvage a corvette from Raxus Prime, and was interested in gaining access to Imperial bases on Kalee, Ruuria, and Borgo Prime. More importantly, the man referred to as "Major Wells" was a former New Republic Intelligence agent. Roth committed the man's name and face to memory, and Anubis' face as well when the Mandalorian had taken his helmet off. There were a few other persons of interest he'd noticed at this meeting, including Dustil Sushere. Imperial Intelligence had a big file on him, and it looked like it was soon to be bigger. Kenas Annig concerned him, however. Roth had an opportunity to browse the man's file on his way to Mygeeto, and refreshed his memory of him. During the war, he'd been a Captain in the Alliance Special Forces, 14th Division, 2nd Pathfinder's Regiment. Since the war, he'd been a one time student at the Jedi Academy and, recently, a reputed mercenary and terrorist on the Outer Rim. What Roth didn't know is that Annig's old friend from the Academy, Carina Niamh, had been slain by a Mandalorian. If Roth did know it, he would no doubt wonder what bearing this would have on his association with Anubis and the other Mandalorians in the Ljaa bal Kots. But Annig's presence here had surprised Roth, whatever his reasons were. Back at Mos Eisley, the man hadn't seemed interested in joining the resistance. Perhaps, then, he was here for other reasons. As long as one of those reasons wasn't suspicion of Roth, then the Major didn't much care why he was here. But just as he made a point of staying near Anubis, he also made a point of keeping his distance from Kenas Annig. For the time being, it was Major Wells that interested him. Roth smiled and introduced himself by his alias, Major Saege. They made some small conversation. "I may be able to help with the Imperial codes," Roth said a moment later, glancing from Wells to Anubis. "I still have my rank cylinder," he said, digging it from a pocket in his simple, spacer's jacket, "It should get us through at least the perimeter defenses on most Imperial garrisons, including on Kalee, Ruuria, and Borgo Prime." So far, it seemed, Saege was making quite a large contribution to the resistance.

| Since his arrival, Kenas kept mostly to himself. No one seemed to want to interact with him, probably because it was general knowledge that he was a Force sensitive. Some, like Major Wells, kept a watchful eye on him as though he were some sort of timebomb. The masses have never been really comfortable around Force sensitives. That definitely includes the Jedi knights, whom are only welcomed when someone needs their aid. This was particularly true in recent years. Kenas understood the distrust and attributed that to envy, ignorance, and many bad examples. The fear that enveloped him felt like cold air on his skin. No one but Anubis seemed pleased that Kenas was here. At this point, he didn't care for his new comrades either. Kenas took Anubis's hand with a firm grip. "Delighted to be here. Please, lead on," he replied. On Tatooine, Kenas had the impression that this idea, which would have been seen through with or without his help, could be potentially catastrophic. However, if pointed in the right direction, a lot of good could come from a motley bunch like this. There is too much suffering and too many lives lost to wait for the governments to get their act together. The New Republic successfully and consistently accomplishes very little and the Imperial Remnant, despite a friendlier face, is still apathetic to atrocities that continued to occur within their territories.

| Before the Mando'ade warrior would proceed to get his new friend acquainted with the Resistance network, he had spotted Major Saege walking over to lend assistance to Major Wells. It was an interesting view. An Imperial agent helping a Republic agent out on a particular objective. Throughout his life, the only times he have seen a Republic and an Imperial in the same room would be to attempt to kill each other. Major Saege had indeed been attempting to convince Anubis that he wanted to help the Resistance combat the Remnant. So far the man had done a good job of it, but that doesn't mean Anubis would trust the former Imperial completely. The Mando'ade had hated the Imperials the most for what they did to his world during the Galactic Civil War. This is the very same reason why he might be hesitant to shoot Saege in the head, because he cannot allow his feelings to cloud his judgment completely. The leader wanted to wait and see if the man would turn out to be trustworthy or would turn out to be a traitor among the Resistance. Only time will tell, but as of the moment, he has a bigger fish to fry. The Mando'ade would put the helmet back on, just about to turn around and ready to escort Kenas. He stopped short, remembering something. Anubis would immediately shouted out at Lieutenant Antilles, "Lieutenant! Don't forget to throw in the HAVw A6 Juggernauts as well. We're going to need them as well, as many as three." Perhaps this is merely a coincidence, perhaps it is really connected somehow with the Imperial codes he had assigned Major Wells to. So far, only himself knew of every missions. He had been planning every single one of it himself, the Mando'ade was that eager to combat the Remnant indeed. Anubis shifted his focus on the Force user, "Walk with me, Mr. Annig." He would place the armored hand on Kenas' back for a moment out of gesture for the man to walk with the warrior. Normally, Anubis wouldn't be so trusting of a Force user. The Resistance members were correct in keeping their distance from Kenas, and he had perfectly understood the reason why. A lot of people had been increasingly developing mistrust of the Force users, due to the recent actions of several Dar'jetiise and the Jetiise. However, the Mando'ade had viewed Kenas as an valuable asset. While he did not trust Kenas completely, he considered it honorable to fight among worthy warriors. In the past, the Mando'ades were fighting side-by-side with both the Dar'jettise and the Jetiise. They had also fought against them. Someone that commands the Force and wields a lasersword should be considered an elite warrior. On many occasions, the Mando'ades were able to equal or defeat someone like that in combat. Anubis would take the DXR6 heavy carbine that he had acquired some time before the formation of the Ljaa bal kote, and firmly held it. He had always felt safe and comfortable when he was holding heavy weaponry, that is the way of the Mando'ade to do so. While he was walking side-by-side with Kenas toward Dustil Sushere, he would spoke in a firm tone. "It is honorable to fight alongside a warrior such as yourself. I believe that you will make a significant contribution to the cause. However, as a former Jetiise, there are many in the Resistance that do not trust you. It is perfectly understandable. Many are not as willing to trust in you as I am. I would like for you to work on gaining our trust, I do not want the Resistance to fall apart simply because mistrust are spreading throughout the rank. You are our brother, and should be treated as such." Anubis had to speak to the former Jetiise about right away. He was wise to do so, rather than telling him in the middle of a battle. The warrior was a man that prefers the direct approach, honesty. Perhaps that is why many within the Resistance are so willing to fight for him. Approaching Dustil and his brother, Zack, "This is Captains Dustil and Zack Sushere. They are in charge of pirate networks, they are responsible for exchanging information with several pirate factions within the Imperial Space." Anubis introduced the men to Kenas first, and would reverse the introduction almost immediately. "This is Mr. Annig. He's going to help our cause greatly."

| Both men would turn their attention toward the Mandalorian and the Force user that had approached them. Dustil and Zack had never encountered a Mandalorian and a Force user before Anubis had them recruited to the cause and this Force user would be the first one they had come upon. They did not let it get to their heads, considering it as a professional courtesy. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Annig." Dustil would be the first one to say, and Zack had said nothing. His brother was not a man of many words, simply nodding out of respect. Dustil had a feeling that because of the experience in coordinating with the pirates and combating the Imperials in the past, they would be an asset to the Resistance. Both men knew they cannot allow this to get to their heads, they have a lot of work to go if they are going to help the Resistance finish what the New Republic started. Dustil remembers Gemmell very well, and had been hoping that the Resistance would encounter this particular Imperial. So that he could finish the man off. He also acknowledged himself that he has to stay the course until then.

| Kenas remained silent when after their initial greeting and offered no protest as Anubis led him aside. This mandalorian was quite astute and had noticed the uneasiness that people had around him. When told he would have to work on gaining their trust, he began to wonder what that would mean. "Pleased to meet the both of you," he said. They seemed like good people. In fact, many of those in the warehouse seemed like good people - that didn't mean they liked or trusted him. As far as he could tell from the two men before him, they didn't consider him a threat.

| "And so am I," Roth said, having appeared beside them without anyone apparently having noticed. He had a habit of doing that. Roth extended his hand to shake with the Sushere brothers, first Dustil and then Zack. "Hello, I'm Major Saege," he introduced himself, "Our friend, Major Wells, told me that the Remnant's given you a hard time in the past. I'm sorry. I worked for the Remnant once, when I was young and naive," he shook his head solemnly, then went on, "I wanted to let you know this, Sirs, because I admire what you've done and I hope there won't be any trouble between us. I'm in this to win it now, the same as you." His demeanor was earnest, his voice polite and even apologetic. He glanced at Anubis and Kenas and nodded in greeting to each of them, having met them both already. He'd been reluctant to come this close to Annig, but felt that he needed to—if Anubis was giving instructions to him and the Susheres, Roth needed to know about it. He also decided, with a plan beginning to form in his head, that he needed to talk to Dustil Sushere. This was as good a time as any. If Annig sensed that the Imperial agent was uncomfortable, it would be no more uncomfortable than anyone else was around a Jedi. Roth told his story to the Susheres, with enough variety in the wording that it wouldn't sound rehearsed to Annig and the Mandalorian upon hearing it for the second time. "That's why I'm here, with the Ljaa bal Kots," he concluded, stumbling over the pronunciation of the Mandalorian words. Then he invited Dustil to tell his story. "What about you?" he asked, "What are your reasons for hating the Remnant?" Major Roth already knew the man's reasons, of course; his ships captured, his crew killed, and he himself tortured for nine years. By Gemmell, no less. Dustil's brother, too, had seen most of his peers killed in the destruction of his base on Ahlenn. But Roth had no sympathy for them. After all, it was their zeal—their belief—that had gotten them into that mess. His distaste for them wouldn't show in his demeanor, however, as Roth listened respectfully to them. He wondered about those Juggernauts, however. Very strange, for a resistance group. Anubis had said he wanted 'as many as three,' implying he had no use for more than three. Hmm, three. Roth recalled the Mandalorian's instructions to Wells from a moment earlier. Kalee, Ruuria, Borgo Prime. Three worlds. One Juggernaut for each? Perhaps, but why? A single Juggernaut wouldn't last long in battle against an Imperial garrison, and surely the Mandalorian knew it. Did he have something else in mind? Roth admonished himself not to jump to conclusions, and made a point to ask Anubis about it later. For now, he nodded earnestly as he listened to the Susheres.

| After the Mando'ade had finished introducing the former Jetiise to the Susheres, he would notice Major Saege stepping in to introduce himself to the Susheres. Anubis had noticed that the man was very active, trying to lend assistance to Major Wells and then wanted to hear the Susheres' main motivation for joining the Resistance. He hadn't fully trusted the former Imperial, and was suspicious of the man for a moment there. However, Anubis would shake it off, deciding that it could be more of simply paranoia or that old habits die hard. Major Saege had claimed that he used to be in the Imperial Army. Perhaps this is one of his habits, to simply gather information before he's ready to do combat. Once the Major mispronounce the name of the Resistance, Anubis was quickly to respond. "Ljaa bal kote, with an E." The truth is this Mando'ade warrior was fussy with how words in Mando'a were pronounced, especially among the outsiders. He takes a great pride in the Mando'ade culture, and never liked the outsiders to mispronounce. The Mando'ade proceeded to speak with the Susheres, "You're doing a good job so far, keep up with the work. The Resistance needs more information if we are going to continue with our campaigns." Anubis had complimented the Susheres, and shook Dustil's hands first and then Zack's. The warrior slowly turned around, watching Major Saege through the T-visor of his helmet. Anubis shifted his attention from the former Imperial to the former Jetiise, as he completed his turnaround. The Mando'ade began to walk away, gesturing for Kenas to continue walking with him. "As you are aware, we are here to finish what the New Republic started. We want to inflict as much damage on the Imperial Remnant as possible. If we kill enough Imperials, they would lose morale and the will to fight. It will inspire others to raise arms, and many will flock to our cause. The best case scenario would be to inspire more within the New Republic to fight once again, to remind them why they had fought the Remnant in the first place." Anubis was explaining to Kenas the Resistance's objectives in combating the Imperials. "If we can do that, then we will have gain honor and glory." The Mando'ade stopped walking, and turned to face Kenas. "Now, Mr. Annig, you have the Force and a lasersword as your ally. This will help you greatly in combating the Remnant. Do you know if there are more people like you that would be willing to join the Ljaa bal kote? We would welcome such addition, and we need more elite warriors. While there are numbers of Mando'ade warriors, Kaleesh warriors, and a Force user, the more the better."

| Once Major Saege had revealed that he used to work for the Imperial Remnant, Dustil couldn't help but wince little bit at that statement. It was nothing more than a reflex, the Susheres may have a different agenda for joining the Remnant but their reasons of joining were similar to that of their Mandalorian leader. Anubis' homeworld were invaded by the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War, Dustil's men were executed at the hands of the Imperials. Specifically, Moff Gemmell. Zack had decided not to say anything about the reasons why he hated the Remnant, it was too painful for him to even say anything about what happened to the base on Ahlenn. Dustil stared at the Major for a moment before speaking, "Well, our reasons were pretty much like the others that joined." Instead of telling the Major the story, the former PDS Commander had decided to lie to Saege by indicating that they simply joined to help make the galaxy a safer and better place. This shouldn't come to a surprise to Major Saege, it's becoming very natural for several people not to trust the Imperials. There are people that still don't trust even former Imperials. After all, they did abuse trust of several sentient beings throughout the years. Once Anubis had decided to leave and shook both men's hands, they returned the handshakes. Dustil would make a mental note of Mr. Annig, reminding himself to check out the Force user's background. It was more out of curiosity than distrust.

| Roth could understand the Mandalorian being suspicious of him. He was Mandalorian, after all, and the Empire had passed around plenty of axes to grind on his homeworld. Fortunately, Anubis was handling it professionally here. Roth would have expected Dustil Sushere to have done so, too. After all, the Susheres had commanded a resistance movement of their own and they, more than anyone, should know how common Imperial defectors are in such movements. The Rebellion was a case in point—who among its leaders hadn't been a "former Imperial" at one point or other? Mon Mothma, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Crix Madine, and more recently, Gregory Blount and Mara Jade Skywalker, to name only a few "former Imperials." If anything, it proved the old saying that "there's no zealot like a convert." Besides, there were plenty of poor, Outer Rim worlds where the only way to get an education, travel the galaxy, and send money home to the family was to join the Empire. Under the circumstances, surely the fact that Saege had purportedly been an errand boy for the Imperial Army wasn't much reason for Dustil and Zack to distrust him. It also wasn't unusual to ask about their reasons for joining the resistance—trading war stories was to be expected, after all, at a gathering of resistance fighters who were just meeting each other for the first time. But Roth could take a hint. "Oh," he said, disappointment in his voice, "Okay. Well, it was nice to meet you." He smiled faintly, then turned away. For a moment, Roth's feelings were genuinely hurt—after all, if he had been an Imperial defector as he purported to be, this would have been a rather cold shouldered welcome to the resistance. Poor Saege, Roth thought to himself. Then he went to mingle with some of the other resistance members. If Dustil wouldn't tell his own story, someone else who was familiar with it would tell it for him. It would also be helpful to meet more of these people and learn as much about them as possible.

| He had lingered too long to stay in step with Anubis, wanting to at least say good bye to the men. Their small group had suddenly fallen apart. He gave a small nod to the brothers before hurrying along to stay with Anubis. He was speaking again anyway. He heard the question clearly and immediately thought of several people. "Oh, yes! I know a few. It'll just be a matter of persuasion. But definitely," he said. Professionalism was important to Kenas. Some people were more reliable than others, this was important when dealing with Force users especially. Some people simply needed guidance. When it came to business matters, however, he wasn't interested in constantly checking a loose cannon. So that cut the list of prospects by more than two thirds, unforunately. Quality was always best anyway. Before he dove into the specifics of his choices, Kenas was determined to asked Anubis for his help before too much was said. "Xerxes," he said, "I wonder if you could help me with something. I need to locate my ship. I can track it with my system, but I need to be at the terminal itself. I had just enough funds from doing what-not on Tatooine to get here. I could use some credits to get where I have to go." He paused for a moment and then continued, "Even better, do we have a ship available? I wouldn't break it. I would really appreicate any assistance at all. "

| seamus lacora was a young man, barely out of his teens. in truth, many still assumed he was only sixteen, despite his age of twenty standard years. he was part of this resistance to avenge his parents, taken at a young age by the empire's callous carelessness to those on the lower levels of coruscant. a garbage scow had dropped its load at the wrong time and seamus' parents had been crushed to death under several tons of refuse. now, older, he was part of the smuggler crew recruited by the mandalorian. he wasn't much of a pilot and his knowledge of code slicing was pathetic. he wasn't even a very good shot for that matter. when xerxes had spoken about needing ships, seamus wracked his brain. he was sure he could help somehow. at last, the answer came to him! his fear of the jedi was overridden by his desire to assist the remnant's downfall. "mr. xerxes! mr. xerxes! mr. xerxes!" seamus came to a stop as he ran up to the mandalorian, panting for breath before saying, all in one wind: "mr. xerxes i was seventeen and i crewed with a barve named hejin who had a small fleet of transports and a squadron of snubfighters maybe he could help us out?" seamus stopped to draw breath, looking up at the mandalorian with hopeful eyes.

| The Mando'ade warrior would shot a glance at Kenas behind the T-visor of the helmet, though the Force user probably wouldn't notice. "Leaving so soon?" His tone was very firm, the Mando'ade have every reason to wonder why the sudden departure. However, he had to maintain his professionalism. Besides, he had given a speech to Mr. Annig on developing trust among the Resistance members. It was so natural for the Mando'ades not to trust people who uses laserswords and Force powers due to so much history between both warrior cultures. Perhaps he need to start showing that he can trust Mr. Annig, and others will begin to follow him. Anubis wanted the members to be in sync, to be able to trust each other willingly. He knew he cannot afford to have the Resistance fall apart simply because of trust issues. If they were to fall apart, it would have to be the honorable way. That they would be completely defeated in battle, as long as honor and glory is gained. Anubis was the one that offered Mr. Annig to join the Resistance, after all. The Mando'ade looked at his carbine for a moment there, before looking at the former Jetiise once again. "Well, we don't really have any ships available. Most of the members in the Resistance had to hire freelancers to drop them off here. Those that do aren't likely to just let you borrow their ships. The suppliers haven't send us some ships we would need in campaigns against the Remnant just yet." Anubis knew very well that what he had said would happen, but he also had alternatives for the former Jetiise. "I can give you some credits, just enough to get to where you needed to be. You could probably try and find a chartered transportation off this planet, although very few are available. Unless you would like to hitch a ride? Lieutenant Antilles is going to Raxus Prime and the Susheres is going to Tatooine. You could redirect from either planets. Or I can just take you to where you needs to be, I have my own ship." If Mr. Annig chose to have Anubis take him, the Mando'ade knew he would have to leave the Resistance in charge of one of his Mando'ade brothers. When it comes to place someone in his stead, he trusts his own warriors more than anyone. They knew what his immediate plans are, and would continue to press with them should something happen to Anubis. His conservation with Kenas was interrupted by Seamus, a young man that he had recruited to his cause. The Mando'ade would turn around to look at him, "What's his background? Hejin? Does he want to get rid of the Remnant as much as we do?" The Mando'ade would start "interrogating" the young man, Anubis would never just contact someone out of the blue. He would need detailed information before he could decide to approach someone in order to do his talent in recruiting.

| The Susheres would simply nod at Major Saege. Dustil clearly saw the expression on Major's face, and would just shrug it off. The Susheres have no love for the Imperials, and would continue to show cold shoulders until Major Saege would prove himself. Their philosophies, especially Dustil's, are that there's no such thing as former Imperial. If someone had to argue with him on that topic, he'd use Governor Oswaldt of Eriadu as an excuse. So far nobody has, and they would just walk together toward the small area where they would begin to review the information their pirate contacts have given them so far. The Captains were pretty sure that most of the information weren't important to the Resistance, but they would go over every single one of them before approaching the Mandalorian leader.
