[ #HERINFERNO ]  ——  “TO THE BEST TEAM THE EMPIRE HAS EVER ASSEMBLED.”  IDEN VERSIO, COMMANDER OF THE INFERNO SQUAD, FROM STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT II.

Usually, Lexa preferred to be assigned to teams like Iden’s. There would be no need to babysit or correct behavior as the soldiers were more disciplined than the average trooper platoon. Although, this would be a situation where a high level of COMPETENCY would not exactly be desired. Jedha boasted rich resources, but also history as well. The Empire was focused on the harvest of kyber crystals, Lexa’s interest was in the deep connection to the force, traces of the jedi and the whills. “ I’ve been told these are no ordinary rebels, ” She remembered skimming  reports on the guerrilla leader in question. “ They’ve been targeting the cargo shuttles. You and your men will secure the air, while I assess ground level. Be ready to depart within the hour…” She gave Iden a final once over, eyes searching, but for what exactly she did not know. “…Commander. ” 

“But without hope all you have is darkness. Hope, is living, not surviving.”

A puff of air released from her nostrils as she scoffed. “ Indeed it was not. ” Lexa could still remember the day the Republic fell and the aftermath. She had sooner wished for death rather than be granted a second chance with the organization responsible for the death of her peers and mentors. HOPE had been crushed and beaten from her very being until it became clear as crystal the only path for her was one shrouded in DARKNESS. Emerald eyes shifted to her wrist as new instructions were sent her way. “ It seems, Commander, ” The inquisitor began, gaze slowly rising from the comm unit. “ That you and your squadron are to accompany me to Jedha. ”
