Bat Squadron: Season 5

Episode 16

9BBY
Onderon

Imperial troopers marched through the streets, searching for the Onderonian rebels that were taking refuge among civilians. An stormtrooper wearing clone armor with a rather unique helmet led the troops and was accompanied by a white clad Mandalorian. This trooper was none other than Commander Bacara. He'd continued to serve as a field commander in the stormtrooper corps.

"If you do not give up the rebels we are looking for, we will burn this city to the ground!" Bacara screams at the civilians as they continued to slowly walk around the market, taking cover at the stands and near houses.

The clone glances around.

"Very well. You, show them how it's done." Bacara motions the Mandalorian forward.

"Bring in the incinerators!" Bacara orders and incinerator troopers with red markings on their armor march forward carrying heavy flame throwers.

The Mandalorian walks over toward the market and aims his arm toward the stands where civilians were hiding and presses a button on his gauntlet and fire shoots out, engulfing the stands and the hiding Onderonians in flames. The incinerator troopers walk toward groups of civilians huddled together and begin torching them, moving to the parked speeders and market stands and eventually the houses. The Mandalorian walks over and kicks a door in. He looks around at the men, women, and children all huddled together, screaming and begging for mercy before he presses the button on his gauntlet and fills the house with flames. He walks out as screams fill the house and streets and a small burning figure runs out of the house screaming in terror and pain before it drops onto the ground and withers before finally curling up and dying. The Mandalorian looks around as charred bodies filled the streets and houses went up in flames and were eventually reduced to ash. He takes a knee and runs his finger through a pile of ash that remained next to the half skeletal remains of another small figure. He looks up toward Bacara who was standing over the charred remains of what appeared to be a woman and he nudges her with her foot.

Jedha

"Shuttle Requiem you have permission to land." The commander of a Star Destroyer over Jedha says.

"Copy." The Taru says and the shuttle heads toward the star destroyer.

It lands in the hangar and the ramp is deployed.

"You two. With me." Taru says and orders Dengar and Hardeen to follow him.

"Not even a Please? Eh boss?" Dengar asks before he stands up and follows the Mandalorian and the sniper down the ramp.

"Pleasure to see you again Taru. We've been expecting you." A trooper in clone armor accompanied by two imperial Purge troopers says.

"Great to see you again as well Bacara. This must be the special package I assume?" Taru asks and looks at a large hovering cart that had something just as large sitting on top, covered by a tarp.

"Yes sir. I'll be coming with you to see it safely delivered." Bacara tells Taru.

"That's great to hear." Taru says.

He motions Dengar and Hardeen forward to push the cart into the shuttle and Bacara glances at the two.

"Bounty hunters? Jeremiah hired bounty hunters to deliver the crystal to Scarif?" Bacara asks.
