The end of the Clone War was rough on everyone. Freedoms were lost and some gained more than they could have ever under the Republic. Anya always served the Republic faithfully, creating weapons for the clone army. She never had to wonder how they were being used. But when the Empire rose and suddenly her commanding officers were secretive, she realized she had to escape. And her only way out was a particular clone force. Nayera wasn't ever really touched by the war. The armed forces of both the Republic and the Separatists never really made an appearance. Like everyone else on Lothal, she chose a side. But the reports didn't change the pockets she picked from. Of course, she wanted to leave Lothal. The planet was dull and boring, along with every other person on the planet. Her salvation came in the form of five clones, battle worn and exhausted. As a special forces agent, Yelizaveta never had much trouble getting what she wanted. She was highly valued by any of those she worked under, but when she finally decided to leave the Empire, she was desperate for money. Little did she know that her new informant, Cid, had a special job for her, along with five other Republic soldiers.

Elara never meant to stand out. On Kamino-where lightning splits the sky and cadets are pushed to their limits-she's just trying to survive. Exhausted from night shifts and falling behind in the combat medic program, she's one mistake away from being cut. She doesn't expect anyone to notice. Especially not them. But Clone Force 99 is watching. Led by the enigmatic Hunter-sharp-eyed, soft-spoken, and impossible to read, the squad offers her something unexpected: a second chance. A new kind of training. And a place she never thought she could belong. As Elara fights to prove herself, her bond with the team deepens... especially with the quiet sergeant who sees more than she wants to admit. In the storm of war, survival isn't just about strength. It's about trust, found family, and the courage to let someone in. And on a planet where it never stops raining, Elara might finally find her light.
