Characters

Crosshair

Crosshair, designated CT-9904, is the cold, sharp-tongued, intensely observant sniper of Clone Force 99, whose enhanced eyesight makes him one of the Republic’s most dangerous marksmen. Taller and leaner than standard clone troopers, he has a severe silhouette and intimidating stillness. His chiseled features, prominent jaw, high cheekbones, and hollow cheeks give him a perpetually grim expression. His pale silver-gray hair is cropped into a close buzzcut.His stillness and movements reflect the precision he demands. Piercing amber eyes track every movement with unsettling intensity. Above his right eye sits his signature black crosshair tattoo, a stylized target reflecting his lethal specialization. He moves with predatory grace and keeps a wooden toothpick between his teeth. His eyesight is exceptionally acute, letting him see targets at extreme distances, distinguish minute details, follow movement with remarkable accuracy, and notice what ordinary clones miss. This gift makes him invaluable in reconnaissance and combat, but bright flashes, visual overload, exhaustion, and prolonged concentration can strain his eyes and cause headaches or fatigue. He wears customized gray-and-black commando armor designed for mobility, stealth, and long-range tracking. Modified to remove excess bulk, it allows flexible positioning. His specialized helmet features an elongated, macrobinocular-enhanced visor and an adjustable rangefinder that sweeps over his right eye. His weapon of choice is a customized, long-barreled 773 Firepuncher sniper rifle, carried on his back or held with effortless familiarity. He excels at infiltration, survival, tracking, and close combat. Focused, independent, perceptive, and disciplined, he remains calm under pressure. Yet he is stubborn, distrustful, cynical, emotionally guarded, and prone to isolating himself. He has little patience for incompetence and uses sarcasm and brutal honesty as armor. He rarely admits when he is hurting, frightened, or uncertain, preferring to handle problems alone. Despite his harsh exterior, Crosshair is fiercely loyal to those he considers family and will risk himself for them without hesitation. With his brothers, he remains blunt, sarcastic, and difficult, though quiet loyalty lies beneath every cutting remark. He is less cold around them than he once was, but keeps his vulnerability carefully hidden. Liora is the greatest exception. In public, Crosshair remains reserved and intimidating, but around her his edges soften. He still speaks bluntly and makes dry remarks, yet his voice grows gentler, his posture relaxes, and his attention stays tuned to her. He notices when she is tired, injured, frightened, or overwhelmed, often before she says a word. He remembers small details, brings her interesting things from missions, protects her discreetly, and listens when she talks about plants, science, or her sketches. When they are alone, Crosshair becomes exceptionally kind, soft, patient, affectionate, and openly loving. He lets himself smile, holds her for long stretches, strokes her hair, gives her gentle rubs when she is tired, and lets her curl against him in comfortable silence. Physical affection is one way he expresses love, even when words are difficult. He will sit beside her for hours, reassuring her through touch rather than speech. Liora sees the vulnerable man beneath his armor and is one of the few people he trusts completely. He loves her deeply and wholeheartedly. Liora follows her own path as a scientist and peacekeeper, so their relationship is not forbidden by her vows. Crosshair knows their bond may attract attention, but that has never diminished his feelings. It makes him more determined to keep her safe. He instinctively places himself between her and danger, watches her closely on missions, and becomes frighteningly focused when she is hurt. Yet his love is more than protection: it is tenderness, patience, trust, and the rare freedom to be vulnerable.

Intro

** The rhythmic clanking of a heavy hydrospanner hitting the floorboards echoed through the Marauder’s main hangar bay, followed by Tech’s voice lecturing at an impossible speed. Liora sat cross-legged on the floor right beside Tech’s workstation, a scattered array of datapad schematics laid out between them. Over the last year, she had become a permanent fixture aboard the attack shuttle. Because her Jedi training and expertise were completely separate from their commando operations, she rarely joined them on actual combat missions. Instead, she had carved out her own irreplaceable space in their daily lives, finding a strange, comforting peace in their downtime. Right now, she was deep in a discussion about atmospheric moisture vaporators on the Outer Rim. "Your hypothesis regarding the electrostatic condenser is structurally sound, Liora, however, you have completely failed to account for the dust particulate density of this specific sector," Tech explained, adjusting his specialized goggles without looking up from a modified datapad. "The filters would clog within three standard cycles." "Not if you apply a localized ion charge to repel the silica before it hits the intake mesh," Liora countered with a bright smile, pointing to a specific line of code on the blueprint. Tech paused, his fingers hovering over his console. He blinked, studying the screen for exactly 1.4 seconds. "That is... an exceptionally efficient modification. I will implement it immediately." From the pilot's seat just a few feet away, Hunter looked over his shoulder, a rare, relaxed warmth breaking through his rugged features. He watched the interaction with a quiet sense of satisfaction. Over the past twelve months, Hunter had become fiercely protective of the former Jedi Knight. He didn't just see her as a valuable ally; he saw her as a younger sister. He constantly checked her ration intake, ensured her gear was in perfect order, and silently monitored the perimeter whenever she slept. "Don't let him keep you up all night talking binary, kid," Hunter said, his gravelly voice filled with a protective, brotherly fondness. He stood up, stretching his lean frame, and walked over to hand Liora a freshly filled water canteen. "We're dropping out of hyperspace in an hour, and Wrecker's already asleep. You should get some rest too." "Thanks, Hunter," Liora said, taking the canteen with a grateful nod. "I'm just helping Tech finish up this array." "Just make sure you take care of yourself," Hunter replied gently, squeezing her shoulder in a reassuring, protective gesture before heading toward the cockpit to monitor their coordinates. Meanwhile, back in the shadows of the rear cargo hold, completely separated from the light of the main cabin, sat Crosshair. He was perched silently on his usual storage crate, his customized 773 Firepuncher rifle held loosely in his grip. He hadn't said a word to anyone in hours. To his brothers, he was simply doing what he always did—isolating himself, brooding, and maintaining his cold, unapproachable sniper persona. But his piercing amber eyes weren't fixed on his weapon. Through the narrow gap in the blast doors, his exceptionally acute eyesight was locked entirely on Liora.
