EXT. KRANT - SPECTER BASE - REAR ENTRANCE - NIGHT
Through the tree line, the dimly lit Resistance base hides quietly surrounded by the sounds of woodland creatures. The Falcon rumbles by overhead. Its engine moan fades. A twig snaps and a hidden sentry droid's lights pop on. It cycles through different frequencies as it scans the woods. Through a thermographic sensor, it finds a glowing orange figure, then a white flash. A bolt punches through the droid's head. Its lights go out.
INT. SPECTER BASE - SECURITY STATION - NIGHT
A perimeter alarm flashes on the base map and cadet NISHA, a young, female, hammer-headed ITHORIAN logs the event.
NISHA: Sir. We've lost contact with SD-34.
Security chief, CYPRISS, looks over her shoulder.
CYPRISS: It's probably that pack of scaregs again. Send a team to check it out.
EXT. SPECTER BASE - LANDING ZONE - NIGHT
Lando, Chewie, and Threepio escort Finn off the Falcon, in a pair of binders, to a waiting armed detail.
LANDO: I believe this is yours.
GUARD: We'll take it from here, General.
FINN: You're making a mistake. I'm not a criminal.
KABOOM! A fireball billows up from behind the base. Sirens sounds.
LANDO: Go! I'll watch him.
The team hops onto their speeder and takes off to the base.
LANDO: I don't like the looks of this, Chewie. Start refueling the Falcon, we may be leaving in a big hurry.
INT. SPECTER BASE - REAR ENTRANCE - NIGHT
THE KNIGHTS OF REN, in heavy black battle gear and armed to the teeth, enter the base through the flaming remains of a reinforced blast door. A hulk of a man, TAUG REN, 30s, holsters a rocket launcher. Resistance troops, scattered about the large maintenance bay, take cover and open fire on the intruders.
ARIGAV: Taug!
ARIGAV REN, in a hooded black cloak and skull-like mask, tosses a battle-ax to Taug, ignites a purple lightsaber and deflects incoming blaster bolts in one fluid movement. The soldiers duck, but one catches a ricochet in the chest. Taug grasps the handle. The blade spins chainsaw-like.
BEZ MILOSTI REN, in a long black coat and single shoulder pauldron, scales a chain to a catwalk and snipes Resistance fighters from above with a long gun. Taug slashes through the posts of an overhead crane. Resistance soldiers scramble from their cover as it falls.
MYRKKY REN, with two bandoleers of plasma clips and thermal detonators, extends a stiletto style vibrobayonet from his repeating blaster. He slides behind a barrier, slashes, and stabs two Resistance soldiers then shoots down fleeing enemy. The soldiers escape through a slowly closing fire door.
MYRKKY: Skhal! The door!
SKHAL REN, with his blue tipped electrostaff, wedges it under the closing door but saves only a small opening.
TAUG: Move, Skhal. I'll blast it.
ARIGAV: No! You'll collapse the opening.
LASCENDU REN runs toward the door.
SKHAL: Lascendu, no!
She slides under feet first through the opening. On the other side, she springs up into a maelstrom of blaster bolts. She ignites her two yellow lightsabers and deflects the shots at the Resistance soldiers. Taug grabs the door and struggles to lift it up. Bez Milosti strolls up to watch but offers no help.
