    Summary

    When leaving the Empire, Imperial defectors have no friends and nowhere to turn. Some make hasty alliances with local cells. Some take their chances in the galaxy and hope for the best.

    The lucky ones find Defections.

    Meet Riyo, chipping away at the Empire from the heart of its power; Phee, the reformed pirate moving cargo more precious than gold; and Dalla, who’s holding the cell together with tape and audacity. Alongside a hairdresser, an ISB double agent, a family of clones, and their many friends and allies, the members of Defections are here to save lives, no matter what.

    Summary

    Out for a night of fun at the arcade, Wraith Squadron stumbles across a pilot they just can't seem to beat in the arcade sims. Curious, they decide to follow and investigate. The Wraiths turn an enemy into a friend. War isn't black and white.

    Set after the events of Distna in Isard's Revenge and through Starfighters of Adumar and beyond. Romance, and sex in later chapters. Polyamorous relationships.

    Main pairings are Wes Janson/Original Imperial Female, Wedge Antilles/Tycho Celchu/Wes Janson, Wes Janson/Tycho Celchu/Winter Celchu, and eventually Original Imperial Female/Wes Janson/Wedge Antilles/Iella Wesseri/Tycho Celchu/Winter Celchu

    The quote the Beatles, "We'll get by with a little help from our friends."

    I'm drawing inspiration and feels from Wraith Squadron, Alphabet Squadron, Rogue Squadron, Lost Stars, and the From a Certain Point of View Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back short story anthologies and an old role playing game guide about the planet Lianna.

    Summary

    Liv and Leo haven't seen each other since before Leo got sent to Bergeren as a punishment by their Father, Vorza Ashold, for embarrassing him on an earlier mission. That was about 5-6 years ago, shortly before Liv entered the Imperial Academy. They also haven't talked to each other in just as long, save for the occasional letter Leo sent home while on Begeren.

    Now, Liv is working for Imperial Intelligence and has just received her own ship. She decides to take a risk and contacts her brother via Holo.

    Summary

    When the Ghost crew responds to a distress beacon from a crashed speeder, they're shocked to learn that the victims are none other than Agent Kallus and Officer Swain. Unwilling to let their enemies die from exposure, Hera brings Kallus and Swain aboard for medical treatment and a ride back to the Empire. Taking care of a man with a broken leg and a concussed teenage girl can't be too complicated, right?

    Wrong. Very, very wrong.

    Summary

    For reasons of morale, the Rebels have decided to try their hands at theater. Han, unfamiliar with the actual content of the play, suggests Romeo and Juliet in hopes of a romantic scene with Leia...and no one else suggested anything. (okay, so Threepio did mention an opera, but that was vetoed for reason of the casting pool being insufficiently musical.) Alas, he gets cast as Paris to her Juliet rather than Romeo.

    On the day of their first full run-through, it comes to light than ridiculous oversight has led to uncast characters and a dead man being cast as Capulet and sent messages about it! Add to this two Jedi ghosts who only Luke and Leia can see, the stars' lack of romantic chemistry on stage, two droids and a Wookiee and half of Rogue Squadron among the cast, an injectable virtual reality device, a chicken, a Hutt who's never acted before, and one imperial spy with a direct line to Luke's real father and you've got a sure recipe for chaos and an improvised ending no one expected.
