-Sequel to 'Buckets: A Star Wars Story'- **New Version** TK-65780. Major. Bucket. Dorn. All names that Ithan Ruana has known in his lifetime, all that live in the back of his mind. Times change. The Empire falls and the New Republic Rises in its place. Jakku felt like it happened ages ago, and he feels like a ghost living in a world that's left him behind. All until a familiar name calls him to be a part of something greater. A new Empire, a new era, that needs a new kind of soldier and a new kind of leader to see it through - and needs someone to ride the maelstrom right through the Republic's front door. Given an opportunity to reunite with his old surviving colleagues and with the Empire that had been his home for so many years, Dorn has his chance to set things right in a galaxy gone insane and, perhaps most importantly of all, make peace with himself for the friends who never made it home. --- Cover by @thesquarecheese --- **DISCLAIMER: I do not own Star Wars, or any of the related characters except for the original characters featured in this story.

-Part I of "Heart of Empire, Heart of Rebellion" Series- TK-65780 has been an Imperial stormtrooper for so long that he's forgotten any other name he ever had. An orphan from Corellia, the Imperial military was his way out and he never once looked back. Lying wounded on the beaches of Scarif, he looks back across his career and at the friends he made. They're just a string of numbers in the Empire, and to the Rebellion they're just more identical faces of an endless army, but for him they each had a name. And they gave him one of his own. - |Highest Rank| #1 in #stormtrooper [9/5/2019], [5/29/2022], [11/2/2023], & [4/3/2024] #1 in #rogueone [4/2/2024] & [4/16/2024] #1 in #starwarsrebels [4/15/2024] --- Cover by @thesquarecheese --- **DISCLAIMER: I do not own Star Wars, or any of the related characters except for the original characters featured in this story.
