Sorry it took so long to get the second half finished, rushed a little with some details so its not perfect but the goal more to see how much I could draw and go for quantity over quality (was tempted to redraw a few panels but knew if I went back I would get caught up and never finish ^^"). If you are wondering the blaster fire at the start is due to the poor stormtrooper's enck being snapped and his muscles clench on the trigger as his last act.

Illustrated version of my short story you can read here, hope you enjoy SW: IncursionThe beeping of an alarm broke through her dream and Kali-ra slowly blinked her eyes open. Once conscious enough to register that the sound was coming from her clock she reached over to turn it off and ended up knocking it off the desk. On the bright side the alarm stopped when it hit the ground, or she managed to turn it off before knocking it off. She continued to rest her head on her crossed arms for a moment before getting up, knowing she would fall back asleep otherwise. Kali-ra looked up to a faint blue light in front of her, eyes widening as she realized she had left her research open after falling asleep while working again. Scolding herself in her head, Kali-ra quickly unplugged the data stick and stored it under the storage below her bed. She tied her wavy blue hair up and left her room wearing a dark grey bodysuit with the empire’s insignia printed across the front. After a brief visit to the washroom to dunk her face in water to help wake up a bit more, Kali grabbed a cup of caf and walked out the barracks. Natural sunlight hit her face as the door leading into the large hanger opened, there were a sparse amount of troopers. The few people walking around were mostly mechanics or technicians working on ships. She walked over to one of the docked tie fighters near the turrets lining the rim of the hanger, looking out over the vast forest surrounding the mountain facility while leaning against the wing. It was one of the things she liked about the place; it managed to exist without disturbing much of the native wildlife. Granted the reasoning was only to keep the facility hidden and not to preserve the area, Kali-ra still found some enjoyment in not being completely surrounded by cityscape like on coruscant or other domesticated planets. She found out during her first week here that the patrolling troopers actually intentionally shot either of the two somewhat intelligent native species to make sure they never came too close to the base. Of course Kali-ra agreed that it was necessary to keep the place safe but it did irk her that the troopers treated it more like a hunting game, one actually brought back some sort of primitive headdress yesterday to show off like a trophy. Although her shift had yet to start Kali-ra’s thoughts started to drift over to her work, after identifying some DNA sequences Simon was working with she was brought onboard an exclusive project. Whatever it was she was working on must have been quite confidential since no one could tell her what exactly it was they were doing with their research. Kali-ra already figured out that they were trying to grow a creature of some kind and had a few theories of why they were making it. Ever since cutting ties with Kamino and production of their clones the empire had started employing human stormtroopers in their place. It seemed possible that the empire was developing their own type of clone more efficiently than the Kaminos. The creature that they were making in the lab, from what she could tell, didn't seem to serve a purpose and was simply the byproduct of testing out genetic manipulation and enhancements. There was a small strain on the back of her neck as Kali-ra could sense something watching her. Her orange cat-like eyes scanned the treeline below but the sound of walking drew her attention away before she could spot anyone. Two troopers holding their E-11’s up against their chest walked over, she recognized one from the long scratch mark on his right shoulder armor. Remembering seeing him in the hallways of the barracks telling a group of stormtroopers how he fought a Myneyrsh on a patrol and managed to barely dodge its spear. “Its against regulation to be out of uniform outside the barracks,” He stated, staring at her bodysuit. Kali-ra crossed her arms under her chest, a small frown on her. “Only if you're on duty, which i'm not” She usually timed her brief outings in between rotations specifically so she wouldn't run into any stormtroopers coming off or going on patrol. They don't usually like seeing her hanging around since the other scientists usually stick around the labs and mid levels. “I’m going to have to see some identification then.” “Is that really necessary? Why would I lie about being off-duty?” Only receiving silence in response she sighed and reached up to her chest where her identification cylinder usually was. Kali-ra realized that she had left it back in her room with her uniform when remembering the bodysuit had no pockets. The trooper's gaze was a little lower than she would have liked and without identification Kali-ra decided to cut her losses and leave rather than drag out an argument. Later that night Kali-ra was working in the lab, Simon had left a few minutes ago so she didn't have anyone to talk to in the empty room. Ever since starting on Pax Aurora she had been moved to a different wing of the lab accessible only to those who were directly working on the project. Kali-ra had been working longer shifts, but did not actually mind the extra work and welcomed the new challenge. She usually stayed late anyway but spent the extra time on personal research. All of a sudden blaring alarms overhead broke through the silence, Kali-ra gave a startled jump and got up from her desk. Eyes turning to slits as she ran over to the door to try and figure out what was going on. The sound of the alarm grew louder when the door opened, a squad of stormtroopers rushed past. Kali-ra spotted a squad leader by his orange pauldron giving out orders and went over to question them. “What's going on? Are we under attack?” Her voice was laced with worry and panic visible on her face. The rebels weren’t supposed to know about Tantiss. The squad leader turned to her and responded in an oddly calm tone. “A group of Myneyrsh are attacking the west hanger, we have it under control.” He described the attack as if it was just a minor disturbance rather than attack. Simon appeared from around the corner, terrified and panicked but a bit relieved when seeing Kali-ra. “There you are! The facility is under attack-” “There is no need to panic, they haven't even breached the actual facility.” The squad leader cut him off, Simon gave the trooper a baffled look, “But the alarms...” “Are just a precaution, we've sent more than enough troopers to the hangar to eliminate the threat.” He stated with full confidence To Kali-ra’s relief the alarms soon died out, her ears were a bit sensitive so she generally didn’t like loud things. The trooper turned his attention away from the scientist and towards the squad of troopers behind him. Before she was able to ask Simon anything, a large spear with a jagged rocky tip sailed through the air and through a trooper's helmet with a sickening crunch. Kali-ra’s eyes widened and another couple of troopers had been impaled before the first one's body hit the ground. The remaining troopers opened fire on the assailants, one tried to run only to be stabbed by a large humanoid with pale purple-blue skin. They were promptly shot but more appeared from around the corner, although bearing primitive weapons the Myneyrsh far outnumbered the squad whose numbers were dwindling. The squad leader gave the order for retreat and the group fell back, Simon grabbed Kali-ra’s arm as they ran down the other side of the hallway back toward the labs. He with the door for a moment before it unlocked, the troopers rushed in soon after the scientist who locked the door behind them. The squad leader was arguing with someone over the busy coms, from what Kali-ra could hear a large amount of Myneyrsh somehow got inside the facility and were attacking those in the mid to low upper levels. The alarms started up once more, a seemingly useless alert at this point. Kali-ra looked over to the door, she could hear the banging of Myneyrsh trying to pry open the door. After a few minutes the squad commander informed them that reinforcements were being sent to their position, telling the two scientists to stay back. Simon was utterly terrified, having never been in a battle before or first hand experience with the natives before. Kali-ra appeared scared and was trying to map out the attack in her head, the hanger attack had obviously been a distraction to allow others to slip in the base but their motive was unclear. They obviously couldn’t take the whole base so it was possible that revenge was their only goal. Blaster fire could be heard and the stormtroopers positioned themselves at the door, opening it to help shoot the Myneyrsh. When the hall was clear Simon and Kali-ra left the lab, now safely surrounded by troopers. She could see the Myneyrsh’s bodys, all of them were around 6’1 with long back hair, four large muscular arms and blue-purple skin. Kali-ra had only seen one or two from afar before. “Staff are being evacuated to the upper levels, the natives have almost over taken the northwing.” A sergeant from the reinforcements informed them. “That's where the assets are being stored-“ Kali-ra realized with worry. “We have to go retrieve them” “All troopers have been given orders to retreat from that sector, after we regroup more will be sent to flush them out.” “They won't make it in time” She protested. “There's nothing I can do. We need to move, more will be coming.” He said in a firm tone, motioning to the troopers to start moving. “I'll go then, I can't risk losing the assets.” Simon tried to persuade her otherwise “Absolutely not you're going to get yourself killed!” “I'll be fine, if I can save at least one our research wont have gone to waste.” She was walking back while talking, turning to run after finishing her sentence. “Kali-ra wait!” “Leave her, we have to move.” The sergeant herded Simon back to the squad as they ran down the other side of the hall.Kali-ra sprinted down the halls, running past the bodies of a few more Myneyrsh. She couldn't let them reach the floor the assets were being stored on, not after all the time and work she poured into them. Reaching out a little to get a better feel for her surroundings Kali-ra made sure to keep distance between herself and the few groups of myneyrsh roaming around. Suddenly stopping, she pressed her back against the wall as some Myneyrsh ran down the hall around the corner. She was so close, just a few more corridors. Kali-ra spotted a squad of troopers further down the hall, slightly short of breath as she stopped to talk to them. One of the troopers at the front was just as baffled to see another person, “Why are you down here? All staff are to be evacuated, you shouldn't be here.” “I know I came back for th-“ “INCOMING” She was cut off by one of the other stormtroopers who started opening fire back the way they came as a group of Myneyrsh came at them. The squad already had three wounded who were sat down against the walls so the others could help fend the natives off. “Run!” One shouted back at her as another one of their squadmates fell. Kali-ra bolted to the left, palming a door that scanned her hand before letting her in. She closed it behind her before ducking down with her back against the door. Straight ahead was a large Spaarti cloning cylinder filled with blue liquid, inside was a canine-like creature with a reptilian head hardly larger than a loth cat. There were half a dozen of these, each about 7 feet apart. After a few minutes the yelling and blaster fire quieted, Kali-ra slowly got up and looked out the small window on the door. She froze for a moment. Seeing the back of a Myneyrsh before it lunged forward at a trooper standing in front of it. Kali-ra ducked when the trooper opened fire, a few stray bolts hitting the door and one the window. There was a large crash as the bolt penetrated the window and hit the spaarti cloning cylinder in front of her. The cylinder cracked and shattered, the liquid inside flowing out to cover the floor and the specimen slid over the metal floor. Kali-ra stared at the unmoving creature for a second before carefully and quietly reaching forward to touch it. Trying to make as little noise as possible as to not alert the Myneyrsh nearby. It had a fine coat of fur and lots of small spikes lining its neck like a mane, the creature suddenly coughed and opened its four red eyes. Panic gripped her heart and Kali-ra gently scooped up the hybrid animal before pressing her back against the door. There was a brief silence before the sound of footsteps grew near. She held the creature close to her chest, praying that it would keep quiet. Its red eyes stared up at her, tail half curled around her arm. The sound of footsteps stopped and a shadow cast through the window of the door as a Myneyrsh looked inside at the shattered Sparrti cylinder. To Kali-ra’s surprise she could hear one of its partners call out to it in some sort of language, to which the one standing over her responded. She was under the assumption these creatures were non-sentient. Before she could mentally unpack this new information the creature in her arms gave out an expecting call toward Kali-ra. She looked up to see the Myneyrsh staring down at her with its black eyes. “Kriff-““You have to send a squad out there now!” Simon demanded, staring up at one of the stormtroopers guarding the rest of the staff in the upper levels. “Sir troopers have already been deployed to sweep the level, they will eventually reach your friend.” He said flatley, clearly unbothered. “Besides from what you told me she decided to part from the troopers of her own free will.” Simon could see they weren't planning on sending extra troopers to help Kali-ra, he hadn’t been able to make contact with her since they parted ways at the labs. Mustering up some courage he talked at the trooper once more with a stern tone. “She is a valued scientist and one of the very few currently working on Pax Aurora. If something happens to her because you neglected to divert a handful of troopers what will your superiors think?” The trooper stiffened a bit and didn't respond, Simon continued to maintain eye contact while the trooper considered their options. Eventually he reached up to his helmet and gave the orders to send a squad over to Kali-ra’s location. Simon breathed a sigh of relief and backed down, having never pulled some sort of rank over stormtroopers before he was a little worried about what would happen. As long as the troopers were able to reach Kali-ra in time it would have been worth it.After receiving orders a squad of troopers had diverted off their original path to rescue one of the staff. The sergeant leading them was annoyed that they had failed to evacuate and expected to be retrieving a body, the Mynersh had already swept this level and cleared out the stormtroopers previously posted there. As they grew closer to the marked location the bodies of stormtroopers strewn about a hall became visible, only two Myneyrsh corpses amog them. The sergeant lifted his hand and went on alert as they rounded another corner. One of the stormtroopers, the medic, broke off for a moment to check on one of the fallen stormtroopers. After verifying they weren't alive he rejoined the squad as they turned a corner, freezing at the sight awaiting them. At least half a dozen bodies of Myneyrsh were lying about, a large primitive spear stuck in the ceiling above. A few sparks were given out from the impaled light above that temporarily lit the darkened hall. The sergeant maneuvered over one of the bodies as he walked further down the hall through the massacre. The medic paused once more as the rest moved slowly and continued forward, eyes locked on one particular dead Myneyrsh with a primitive dagger driven through its skull. A chirp-like growl drew the squads attention and they all pointed their lasters at the open door ahead, a faint blue glow coming from the room. The sergeant held up his hand to order for them to hold position, there was a faint crunching of glass before a figure with glowing eyes appeared in the doorframe. Before the order to fire could be given the figure called out, “Wait- Hold your fire I'm a friendly!” When the troopers lowered their blasters she stepped forward, the sergeant recognized the woman as the inhuman that sometimes hung around the hanger. She had some blood on her uniform and a cut on her arm but otherwise appeared fine. He raised his blaster when something came walking out the room after her, a weird looking creature with blood red eyes. “Don't- it’s one of the specimens,” She said quickly, the creature walked over to her side and eyed the new people in white armor. “Are you Kali-ra?” The sergeant asked. “Yes.” She said flatly, wondering why they would even bother asking. “We've been given orders to retrieve you, you need to move to the upper levels where it's safe.” “Very well, let's go” She closed the door behind her and locked it to make sure the other assets would be safe. The medic came over to her side as they made their way back to the upper levels to treat the cut on her arm, stepping back when the small creature nipped at his leg when he got too close.
