Chapter 1
It was about two in the morning. Everything was perfectly quiet, which was rare for this Imperial Homing Complex. Usally the complex would be bustling with activity, but at this hour of the night the only sound to be heard were a few ships flying overhead. It was perfect time for me to go and get those crates I had bought yesterday. Usally I didn't like sneaking out late at night like this, but my master would never aprove of going out and giving food to some poor refugees. So if i wanted to help them, it would be now or never. I grabbed my key card to get into the crates, and my two sabers, and opened the window. I took a quick look back to make sure nobody was watching.
I don't know why anyone would be watching. In this small three room suite, I mostly lived alone. The only other person that came in here was my roommate, Jabez, better known as the 12th brother or 12th inquisitor. However, he wasn't here often. Usally he was off trying to impress our overseers with his brute skill. Only problem was that he had no brains to go with it.
I Jumped out the window and landed on the ground with a loud thump! I winced, hoping nobody had heard that. Thankfuly no one had. The refugee camp I was going to was about 1o miles outside of the capital, so it was going to be a long walk. After a while I got to the old ship wreck that I used to store my stuff. I grabbed the crates of food I bought yesterday and headed off. The moons were high in sky still meaning I still had plenty of time. I don't know why, but I fell like I owe them something, like I am personally responsible for the state's of the people that the empire hurts. Giving them food seems like the least I can do for them after what the Empire did to them. However, they have no idea who I am. They are starving and all they know is that I bring food. If they did know they would probably try kill me. After all, "red blades" aren't exactly welcomed there
I arived at Tarkin Town;the refugee camp just outside of Lothal's Capital. It was about three in the morning and most everyone was asleep. Well, almost everyone. There were a couple people still wandering around. I opened my crates and motioned for them to come over and take the food. Then I stepped back for a second. The ones that were up had now waken up some of their friend and started tp grab food. I left the crate there and started to wander. There was someone i wanted to see.
I went to the back streets of Tarkin town where orphans lined the street. Most of them were asleep. I walked over to a small girl who looked to be about seven. She was unatraly thin and looked like she hadn't eaten in weeks, which was probably true. I reached down and put a jogan fruit next to her on the ground for when she woke up. Then I slowly backed away not wanting to wake her or her... buddies.
