The Resistance had had its biggest day in years--perhaps its entire lifetime. The Rebellion-supported group of insurrectionists had come out in full force last week upon the corrupt forces of the One Sith, and while their success had been immaculate, it was time to fade out a little again. The Rebels had won a moral victory--if nothing else--despite the relentless propaganda the Sith desperately broadcast to convince the populace that their mass-murderers were righteous and upright, and the Rebel 'terrorists' had caused the deaths of millions.
It might be hard to convince the people, however, with metric tonne upon metric tonne of debris crashing from the sky after some dunce at the helm of Coruscant's defense systems raised the shields without warning inbound or outgoing flights. It was a dreadful realization that cut into the jubilation the Resistance forces felt when they realized the death toll on the innocent population at the hands of the Sith canceled out much of the militant triumph the urban guerrillas had experienced against the rank-and-file troops of the Sith. It seemed like no matter what good they could accomplish, the Sith would only squeeze their iron fist tighter and ruthlessly massacre thousands without batting an eye.
They had done so just to prevent two starships from leaving. Two starships.
Suka Pozhaluysta sat by a burn barrel with her left foot bound up in gauze, the injury suffered from falling out of prison nagging at her ankle still. She was fine. That was what she told them. But she was certainly not up to speed, and with the increased patrol frequency the Sith had instigated, it made her a little uneasy to not have her speedy legs to help her out. But she would manage. The Resistance would always manage. They thrived down here, in the depths among the people; the citizenry. Many fed them and housed them for the cause. Some even lived down here already with their families. Perhaps half the trillions who lived on this storied world would remain ignorant of the situation upstairs and the oppression that somewhat frequently could be felt down here, just as they always had. But there were many who still remembered. They recalled the days of the Republic and how, even as lame as some things were, at least they did not have to worry about some giddy glowstick-wielding Sithy trotting down here to slaughter some kids and play hopscotch on their corpses!
AR-47 rested on her lap, Suka stared into the licking flames of the urban campfire and awaited her call to comms duty. It was a quiet night on the dividing line between Invisec and The Works. Hopefully it would stay that way.

We're gonna build stuff.
We're gonna kill Vongs and Sithies.
We're gonna explore Coruscant!
