been watching a lot of clone wars lately so lol have this random star wars nessian hc obvs before the formation of the galactic empire
nesta is known to show bravery on the field already commanded a legion of troopers to take down 4 separatists strongholds
but also having a cold exterior which many mistake for rudeness but even her men know that she’s do anything to protect them and the innocent
she’s assigned to onderon for a status update on the rebuilding of the city and their new relationship with the Republic
there she meets the new captain of their rebel force, cassian
ever the handsome tanned warrior with a strong build and blinding smile
smug brute is more like it
showing off the latest battle formations he created and machinery for any pending separatist attack
also calling her sweetheart which earns him a steely glare
her clone troopers always grimace when cassian strolls by bc there was bound to be an onslaught between the two
cassian constantly tries to catch nesta in the middle of her meditations to catch her off guard
it usually ends up with him hanging upside down 5ft in the air, while she maintains her meditation
‘okay geez! sorry...nes.”
she lets him plummet to the ground with an oof
then she gets a transmission from the jedi council that the separatists are planning an attack to take back the city and reestablish supply lines
cassian and nesta immediately get to work to hatch a plan for the assault
nesta has yet to see cassian in a serious atmosphere but he comes up with a solid plan knowing the structure of the city.
she notices how deep his eyebrows furrow when he’s thinking, how his calloused hands glide over his sharp jawline-
with the help of the republic, more clone troopers descend on onderon to aide them
cassian leads the charge as tanks of separatists battle droids try to break through the city’s gates
nesta is right beside him as they break through. using her lightsaber to deflect shots.
cassian’s rebel forces use their jet pack equipment to dominate the skies and push the droids further away from the city
meanwhile nesta leading her clone troopers on the ground slashing through the droid army
victory is near right when nesta feels a disturbance and looks towards the horizons where a separatists fleet of ships have arrived.
instinctively she looked up towards cassian. ‘FALL BACK CAPTAIN’ she yelled not sure if he could hear her through the mess
but he did. his dark brown eyes met hers from so far away but she felt his attention on her.
he commanded his forces to retreat and regroup with her troopers.
nesta was relieved when she felt his life force closing the distance between them.
she called for republic air support who drove off the fleet.
and tried to ignore the comfort in seeing him unharmed, still smiling from ear to ear
‘worried about me, sweetheart?’
she gritted her teeth and hopefully tries to calm her nerves before she started blushing. oh gods not in front of her men.
‘battles not over yet, general.’ said one of her troopers as he pointed towards the droids beginning to push to the gates again.
‘let’s finish this.’ nesta said nodding towards cassian who switched back to battle mode, preparing to take the skies again
her clone troops and his rebel forces continued to successfully drive the battle droids back to their ships where they finally retreated
‘ill ensure the council that onderon is safe, captain.’
the battle was won, the city’s walls would need rebuilding but the assault will drive away the separatists for awhile now.
‘or you can come and check up on us anytime you like.’ he added with a wink.
she scoffed but let her mouth slip into a small smile
‘that’s up to the jedi council.’
‘or you can give me your comlink’ he suggested with genuine hope
a jedi must not have attachments her masters voice rang through her head
‘im afraid that’s classified captain.’ she said as she climbed aboard her ship
cassian, a bit disappointed, only shrugged ‘a guy can only try’
she waved him off ‘stay safe cassian.’
