After escaping near destruction on Atollon, the Rebellion is in dire strait, but hope is not yet lost. Following her promotion to Grand Marshall of the Rebellion, Jaral Bridger is set on beginning a massive guerrilla campaign across the Outer Rim, s...
Even if he was wearing a helmet, Jordan had to look away from the light for a moment.
When he turned around, he noticed that all the Mandalorians who were not under a bubble shield had been turned to ashes, along with most of their armors.
Those poor devils didn't even have the time to scream. Whatever that energy arc was, it vaporized them almost instantly.
"Captain." one of the Batarians among his Marines recalled him.
Only now, Jordan noticed that the few Marines that were outside the bubble shields were not being damaged by the weapon. He didn't need to think twice.
"Countess, you and your men stay inside the bubbles." he strictly ordered. Ursa had little choice but to obey.
"Marines, form up!" he then ordered into the comlink as he rushed in the front.
Gutierrez, Michalina and Thabo were the first to form a line on his sides. The other marines followed immediately. The lightnings of the weapon, whatever they were, were not touching them.
The Marines formed an arrowhead, with Jordan at the point.

Sabine immediately ran to Ursa and Tristan, who were a bit shocked by what they just saw but were completely safe, thanks to the bubble shield.
Then, her gaze turned toward the piles of ashes and remains of mandalorian armors scattered around the battlefield and she got horrified.
She knelt down to grab a piece of armor that only crumbled when she took it, making her shed tears of desperation.
"What just happened?" Thabo asked. "That weapon was clearly targeting the mandalorians only."
"There were rumors that the Empire was working on a weapon to neutralize Mandalorian armor." Bo-Katan clarified. "That it had even been tested on our people. I-I didn't believe it."
"Not the Empire." Sabine said with rage boiling up. "Me. This is all my fault."
Ezra was confused for a moment, but then a revelation dawned on him.
