Coruscant
On the level of 1313, an imperial patrol trooper was walking around, making his laps. He received cold stares from the locals like most troops did and he walks over toward a orange skinned Twi'lek man for a routine inspection.
"Hello sir." The trooper says.
"What do you want?" The Twi'lek asks.
"Can I see your identification...please?" The trooper asks.
"Ugh. Fine." The man says and reaches into his pocket.
He pulls out his ID and hands it to the trooper. He examines it before nodding and handing it back to the man.
"Thank you. Have a nice day." The trooper says.
"You too." The man says putting his ID back in his pants.
The trooper continues walking around and he looks down an alley where he sees two men making an exchange of something.
"Hey! What's going on down there?" The trooper asks as he starts walking down the alley.
"Shit!" One of the People yells and he shoves the other man out of the way and takes off running.
"Hey! Get back here!" The trooper yells and starts running down toward them.
He unholsters his EC-17 pistol and looks down at the man on the ground.
"Stay here!" He yells and starts after the other man.
"STOP! This is your last warning! Stop or I will shoot!" The trooper yells.
The man was a bothan. He quickly turns and fires a few shots at the trooper. The trooper dives to the side and quickly stands up and fires 2 shots into the back of the fleeing bothan.
"Attention, this is TK-336, shots fired. I require backup." The trooper says and looks around at the nearby people who were starting to crowd the body.
"I need you all to back up! I have reinforcements on the way and they will help me take care of this and clean this mess! I just need everyone to take a few steps back!" TK-336 yells.
He starts back down the alley where he saw the man that was knocked down. He was a Pantoran. He wore rags for clothes and TK-336 aims at him.
"Stand up. Slowly." He orders.
"Please don't hurt me." The man says putting his hands on his head.
"What was that little exchange I saw?" The trooper asks.
"I...i was paying him for protection..." the pantoran says.
"Protection from who...from what?" TK-336 asks.
"I'm in danger." The man says.
"From who?" TK-336 asks, lowering the pistol.
"The Black Sun. They...they enslaved me and my family and I escaped...barely...it had a cost...." the Pantoran says and shows she trooper the left side of his head, brushing his long hair back to reveal his missing ear that had been ripped off.
"They...they're constantly harassing me...trying to kill me....I can't take it...I can't defend myself..." the Pantoran says.
"What's your name?" TK-336 asks.
"Ranto. My name's Ranto." The Pantoran says.
"Ranto...my name is Marik. Marik Worb. Nice to meet you. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm want to help you." Marik says.
"T...thank you." Ranto says and puts his hands down.
Marik nods and holsters his pistol.
"TK-336? Where are you? We're at the crime scene but where are you?" Another trooper asks through the comm.
