"You got it." Issachar calls back to Cyd as he starts repacking his equipment. "He'll be fine now so long as he gets a chance to heal. Get him out of here." He glances at the human with the blasted face. "Sorry I couldn't do more." Finally packed, he heads out to the speeder and piles in, sitting in suspense as he waits for the others.

The other Alliance members all managed a quick thanks to the group before heading away to help clear the rest of the base of whatever it was in there. As the group headed to the speeder, they could all clearly see the top of the AT-ST moving closer, along with multiple white figures climbing some of the rocks to try to get a good sight on the area. There were even a few blaster bolts shooting by, but none of them came anywhere close to the speeder or to the group.
Packing into the speeder was easier with one less person, and the thing looked to be both in good shape and fairly fast considering its size. Manuevering it was interesting, but by the time the Imperials arrived, the group had no trouble getting the thing moving and away.
OOC:[sblock]There's some Rank Structure info over in the OOC thread if you didn't see it before. But yeah, it is fairly arbitrary and don't let it constrict anything. If these guys were Imperials, yeah, but not in the Alliance. Especially not these early days.
And now...to you guys. Where to?

Issachar shrugs, "So what's this place like then?"

Mos Eisley was the kind of place that never really changed. No matter the political climate of the galaxy as a whole, it was one of those spaceports where the local garrison really only had enough security to keep their building safe, and weren't foolish enough to get involved in the business of most of the beings there. This was, of course, usually because the local magistrate was being paid by said beings doing shady business, but the reasons for staying out of things rarely mattered.
The simple fact was that the Empire could really only put a small amount of troops within the spaceport before the local crimelords decided to deal with it. And so, the city that was open to the desert didn't even have guards or lookouts posted at the edge of the city as the speeder came in.
There were aliens everywhere, and a few Stormtroopers, too. Most were going about their business, and the few Imperials that were seen were congregated around the small administration building near the center of the spaceport. There would also likely be troops at the port itself, as that was under Imperial control, but probably not much beyond that. The locals simply got out of the speeder's way, not paying it any attention and obviously knowing the value of keeping to themselves.
Just passing down one street of the spaceport, there were three cantinas, two junkshops that probably sold more than just junk, at least four buildings with guards outside hinting at crimelord operation houses, and a pair of repair shops for broken speeders that looked like the kind of place that would steal your vehicle after they were done repairing it.
All in all, it was actually a fairly good place to be to hide from the Empire, despite being so close to the Imperial capital on the planet.
