Summary
The speeder bike screamed across Eriadu's night.
Moonlight silvered the fields below—endless bushes, wasted lands. Brown smog slammed against her goggles as she climbed higher. Everything dissolved into darkness behind her.
The land rose. Fields became scrubland. Scrubland became stone.
The mountains emerged from the black—jagged peaks against a sky just beginning to pale.
Mara pushed the throttle higher. The speeder climbed into the foothills as dawn touched the summits above.
The Force sang louder. Not warning. Not comfort.

Summary
Forced to repay a broken promise, Kay finds herself roped into a job for Crimson Dawn that requires her to steal an ancient piece of art that might hold the key to helping Qi'ra achieve her ultimate goal. But with the Empire closing in on all sides, Kay and ND-5 find themselves on borrowed time to put together a crew crazy enough to risk breaking into one of the most heavily guarded compounds in the galaxy.
Based off one of my own dlc concepts, this original work of fiction features our beloved main trio from Star Wars Outlaws working alongside familiar favorites, unfamiliar additions found in the Star Wars: Hidden Empire comics, and fun new characters crafted for this story.
