THE FOOT SOLDIERS of the First Order drow upon lhe heritoge of the ormoured infantry units that blozed across the battlefields of the Clone Wars, in the final years of the Old Republic. The stark white armour thot was once an honourable Symbol of defence was transformed under the Empire into the faceless icon of an evil regime. Treaty stipulations forbade the building and mobilisation of stormtrooper forces after the Galactic Civil War, but little does the New Republic realise that the First Order is escalating its military preparations for a bold strike.Stormtroopers once again are leading the charge.

TRAINING REGIMEDuring the time of the G a lactic Empire, inconsistent academ y standards led to stormtroopers o f varying skill and ability.Out o f necessity, the First O rder enforces a far more regimented opprooch to training to ensure excellence ocross its reduced stormtrooper ranks. First O rder stormtrooper training emphasises improvisotion and counter-insurgency operations, as well as guerrilla tactics. N o longer tasked w ith ensuring layalty to a dominant ga lactic government, these soldiers instead need to know how to c la w their w a y back into power.This mindset has created o more well-rounded combat education thon the training of lhe past.

H A VIN G STUDIED JEDI SKILLS as well as arcane darkside lore, Kylo Ren is lhe embodimenl of conflict, drawingupon contradictory teachings and deriving power fromdiscord. Ren has taken pains fo bury his pasl, though heuses the unpleasant emotions that stir within him whenreflectíng upon his youth to fuel hisanger and dark powers. Throughhis veins courses the bloodline ofthe mosl pow erfu ljed i and Silh, andRen sees it as his birlhright to rule theweaker beings in the galaxy. As hispower rises, it eclipses his past life leavingthe young man further isolated. Kylo Ren aspiresto build immunity to the light side - to succeed whereDarth Vader and his sentimentality once failed.

An array of focusing crystal octivators split lhe plasma stream into perpendicular blade energy channels, creating lhe quillons. The emitter shrouds on the crossguard protect the bearer's hand from lhe smaller blades.

NUMA OUTPOSTSINCE THE WAR that liltered Jakkus londscope with debris, the planet hos become o treasure trove for prospectors and scovengers of wildly varying means and fortunes. Niima Outpost, a crumbling settlement of rickety landing bays, dusty solvage yards and the type of shady businesses that parasitically flourish around the desperate, is the closest thing Jakku has to a City. Interstellar travellers looking to find riches or lose pursuers keep a steady trickle of traffic coming to and from the outpost.

NIIMA ORIGINSAfter the Bottle of Jakku, opportunists pounced to recover voluable metal, weapons and scraps of technology from lhe scatlered crash sites. The first enterprising scoundrel lhal sought to orgonise the collection efforts wos Niima the Hutt. She was operating far from the borders of Hutt Space - a province o f the galaxy embroiled in conflict as the Hutts tried to carve up the deceased crime lord Jabbas territory. Though Niima was later killed by a bounty hunter, the outpost that she established still bears her name.

Recruited from the local planetary defence forces, and prepared to fight for the ideais of the former Rebellion, these pilots prove to be a loyal, spirited lot, eager to bring the battle to the First Order. They form a tightknit bond within their squadrons, and continue to fly the seal of the Rebellion made famous in the Galactic Civil War.

The modem X-wing storfighter continues to use mony of the design feotures o f the

Kanata has got many a young brigand started in the freebooting trade, and has a preternatural gift for sensing the shifting tides of fortune in the galaxy. She has weathered many regime changes in her long life, and has not only survived, but found ways to thrive.
