Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi part 2

Soon the humming of repulsorlifts fill the silent air as an unarmored landspeeder drives its way towards you. A sergeant of the local milita and his troops pile out of the vehicle. "We got rid of that pesky fly," he says, pointing to the PLX rocket launcher carried by one of his soldiers. "We're going to clear out the rest of this trench system," he says as his troops jump into the main trench, pointing their blaster rifles at the captured armored warriors. "We're already sending recon teams to the prisoner camps. You take this landspeeder and check out that energy surge. I hope it's not a weapon..."

It's with some relief that the 'fly' was downed that Kestrel jumps aboard the speeder. She grins in anticipation, loving the feel of wind on her face and through her hair, and the wild rush of acceleration and feel of danger that's equaled only by combat.

"Don't worry," she says to the militiaman. "Whatever it is, we'll make sure that it's no threat to this colony, or any other."
 


The landspeeder races towards the energy signature, several kilometers an hour. Your datapads show the energy released seems to be coming from a ship, but it's still unknown if it's just the engines heating up or a weapon being prepared to be discharged.
 

"Another ship to board and stop," says Anariel, piloting the landspeeder toward the source of the energy build-up. "Be ready."
 

Kestrel keeps her lightsaber in hand and holds onto the railing of the landspeeder tightly, eyes squinted against the constant force the wind over her face.

She was as ready as anyone could be, against an unknown threat.
 


Ten kilometers pass by quickly as you steer your borrowed landspeeder through the rubble of war. As you reach the power surge, you can see that it is indeed a ship. It's insectoid in appearance as well. A rectangular "head" connected to a thick thorax where four legs jut off and lead to the ground. Two spikes jut off from its back, sticking straight up into the air.

Near the head, you can see three more of the armored warriors. The only three left on the planet you can surmise from recent militia com transmissions. One is slightly burlier than the others, and clearly ordering them around as they begin to flee the planet.
 

Anariel angles the landspeeder toward the burly raider in an attempt to knock him down and take him out of the fight. "Be ready!" she calls to her fellow Jedi.
