Years after the fall of the Galactic Republic and the rise of the Empire, small rebel cells began forming in opposition to the new regime. Today’s Databank Download for Star Wars: Shatterpoint highlights the courageous half of one such group, the crew of the Ghost.
The Formation of the Ghost Crew
As the Galactic Empire imposed its tyranny across the galaxy, some brave individuals stood up against these oppressors, aiming to restore peace. Over time, the Ghost crew developed deep bonds of friendship, evolving from mere allies into a family-like unit. Their concerted efforts against Grand Admiral Thrawn significantly hindered the Emperor’s grand plans and helped set the stage for the eventual downfall of the Empire.
Kanan Jarrus: The Reluctant Leader with a Dual Identity
Kanan Jarrus, the supposed smuggler and scoundrel with a crucial secret, stands at the helm of the Ghost crew. Under his alias, Caleb Dume, a Jedi who survived Order 66, Kanan has crafted a new life for himself. Despite concealing his true origins, he reveals his Jedi identity when necessary to protect his allies. With skills like Deflect and Force Push, Kanan manages to balance his roles adeptly, employing his dual identity to navigate various challenges and protect his makeshift family.
Kanan’s Combat Styles: Form III Soresu and Pack Leader
In combat, Kanan alternates between two stances. Form III Soresu showcases his precise lightsaber skills, which aid both in attack and defensive maneuvers. The Pack Leader stance highlights his range capabilities and his scrappy survival skills from his days as a smuggler, offering versatile combat options regardless of his position on the battlefield.
Ezra Bridger: The Hopeful Padawan
Joining the crew from the streets of Lothal, Ezra Bridger, under Kanan’s guidance, learns the ways of the Force. His abilities like Force Jump and Helpful Hand Reactive boost his mobility and tactical advantage. Ezra’s knack for deception and strategic thinking allows him to disrupt enemy plans effectively, embodying the spirit of resilience and hope within the crew.
Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios: The Fierce Fighter
Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios adds muscle to the group, never shying away from a brawl. His background as a survivor of the siege on Lasan fuels his relentless fight against the Empire. Zeb combines brute strength with tactical resilience, making him a formidable force on the battlefield. His Honor Guard Captain stance proves his prowess in melee combat, further solidifying his role as a protective and impactful member of the team.
Conclusion: A United Front Against Tyranny
Together, Kanan, Ezra, and Zeb form a robust trio dedicated to dismantling the Galactic Empire’s rule. Alongside Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren, and “Chopper,” these heroes embody the spirit of resistance that defines Star Wars: Shatterpoint.
