Starkiller: Remnants Issue 1

A New Start

It has been two years since the destruction of THE EMPIRE. The REBEL ALLIANCE is now the NEW REPUBLIC as their goal is to rebuild the Galaxy after the destruction of the Empire. A squadron of New Republic soldiers, lead by former IMPERIAL, LINDON JAVES, have arrived on the planet of DANTOOINE, looking for GALEN MAREK, formerly known as the Imperial assassin STARKILLER, who has been missing for over ten years after the death of JUNO ECLIPSE at the hands of BOBA FETT.

Unknown to both Javes and Starkiller, the Empire has been reformed into a smaller splinter group lead by ADMIRAL THRAWN. Being aware of Javes' plan to convince Galen to join the New Republic, sends the last INQUISITOR, the FOURTEENTH SISTER, in order to kill both Javes and the former Starkiller…

Transcript
The issue starts in Dantooine as a man in a hood is shopping at the market place.


 * Trandoshan Vendor: Jogan fruit! Get your fresh Jogan fruit!

The figure pays the Trandoshan a few credits and then grabs two Jogan fruits. He keeps walking to his home as he then sees captain Lindon Javes waiting at his house.


 * Javes: Galen Marek. I've been expecting you.
 * Galen: Who are you? And how did you find me?
 * Javes: I am Captain Lindon Javes of the New Republic. And I've been trying to find you since the Empire fell.
 * Galen: Why?
 * Javes: I heard of your story. Betraying the Empire only to die. And then you got cloned back to life and escaped with Juno Eclipse. What happened to her?
 * Galen: She died.
 * Javes: Oh, I'm sorr-
 * Galen: I don't need your apologies.
 * Javes: Anyways, I need your help. The Empire may be dismantled but shadows of it still exist. It's like you. Even when someone takes it down, it gets back up.
 * Galen: Don't compare me to the Empire.
 * Javes: Note taken. But the New Republic needs your help.
 * Galen: Can't you all just ask Luke Skywalker to take them all down?
 * Javes: He has been more distant to Chief Strategist Solo and Senator Solo-Organa. I heard rumors that he is trying to rebuild the Jedi Order?
 * Galen: What about other Jedi?
 * Javes: They are even harder to find than you.
 * Galen: So I'm your only hope huh?
 * Javes: Yep. You are.
 * Galen: Fine then.

It cuts to the Imperial ship, the Chimaera as a stormtrooper is talking to Thrawn.


 * Stormtrooper: I don't know how you'd react to me asking this but weren't you and this entire ship thrust into hyperspace?
 * Thrawn: It was but soon I found a way to convince the Purrgil to warp me and all of the Chimaera back into the Galaxy. When I returned I saw the Death Star blow up, but it was by Endor. And then I heard the news. The Emperor and his dark lord is dead. So I took whatever remnants of the Empire I can and united them. Does that answer your question?
 * Stormtrooper: Yes i-

Thrawn fires a blaster bolt at the Stormtrooper, killing him.


 * Thrawn: You know, I never liked people who asked me pointless questions. Anyways, Fourteenth Sister, come here.

She does.


 * Fourteenth Sister: What is it? Grand Admiral Thrawn?
 * Thrawn: A new republic commander, Javes I believe he calls himself, has been spotted on the planet Dantooine. I have no idea why he is there. Go and investigate.

She nods as she hops into a ship and flies off.
