One year after the Battle of Exegol, scattered remnants of the First Order threaten to regroup in the Outer Rim. Resistance agent Bri Volition is dispatched to Batuu to investigate their growing activity. She is paired up with Rings, a stoic and mysterious mercenary with secrets of his own. With each battle fought and secret uncovered, their bond strengthens. But in typical Resistance fashion, things rarely go according to plan, sending the unlikely duo across the Outer Rim on a search for new intel, gear, and trust... Along with a gamble neither can afford to lose.
Author's Note: I stayed as true to Star Wars canon and lore as possible. The two main characters, Rings and Volition, were created by me. This story focuses on character growth, engaging dialogue with some fun banter, tight action sequences, and some well known guest appearances. The tone is Star Wars fan fiction, so there's no swearing and no excessive violence. An easy and (hopefully) enjoyable read for any Star Wars fan.
I'm looking to write a sequel and possibly a prequel, therefore your feedback is highly encouraged and greatly appreciated!
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
