Look to the Horizon and fly
A TBB re-write following the Bad Batch in an alternate storyline as Order 66 happens and they do their best to get Crosshair back, as well as adapting to their new lives. Ash, a cardul sniper joins the squad in these turbulent times.• Main ship is Tech x OC, but other ships will develop in the background as the story progresses.• No NSFW.• Warnings: Violence, injuries, pain. Nothing gory.• This AU is not canon friendly at all. Please read the disclaimer.• Omega doesn't exist in this AU.I absolutely welcome questions and feedback; I have tons of other stuff related to this hidden away.

The carduls
The Carduls are a blue skinned species with wings and elven features. They’re physically stronger and slightly faster than regular humans, with much better hearing.They were discovered by the galactic community first in 150 BBY (130 years before the Empire's formation) due to a hidden hyperspace route. The carduls struggled for a long time with adapting to the galactic world and are still seen as a savage people, with poor knowledge in technology. They joined the Republic in 24 BBY.Most carduls still have an intense dislike for pirates due them feuding a lot with neighbouring systems known for piracy and slavery at the start of their galactic experience.Despite their rumour as being technologically inept, a cardulian armstech recently created a particular sniper rifle that is called an anti-shield rifle.It's said that the carduls' deity, a giant dragon like creature, rests somewhere under a mountain. They visit the dreams of the cardul seids and offer advice and even visions. Due to this, some suspect that the creature is a Force entity.

Hikarens
The hikarens are dark force creatures that appear every decade to attack anything in their sight on Cardulia, especially carduls. It's impossible to tell where they'll show up, as they're limited to a small area across the whole planet randomly.They're blue with four red eyes and spikes on their tail, about the size of a horse.Their roar is powerful enough to stun carduls to the point they can't even fly, paralyzing their limbs and filling them with fear. This can give lasting psychological effects, provided the cardul survives.Outsiders will far better against their roar, but hikarens are fast and violent animals, with a natural resistance to blaster fire. They're a danger to everyone.

The Ulven
They're a humanoid species capable of shapeshifting into animals. They’ve got horns of various colours, as well different patterns of scales across their face and body.Their home world is Ulvena, a mostly abandoned planet due to few resources, since decades ago. That’s why many ulven are a nomadic species these days and quite rare.Through the force they are able to shapeshift their bodies. While most forms are allowed, some animals are considered so taboo to shapeshift to that they can inflict damage on the ulven's soul. Rancors are such a creature.All ulven have a default shape they can always use and are born with. A werewolf creature that is agile and fast, capable of running on all fours. Some mistake them for loth-wolves. They are called Ulfr and are native to the ulven homeworld. Usually their shapeshifts have a set of colours across various forms.Varga's for instance, always have white fur/scales/skin with some copper tones and green eyes.

the Acciptrians
A harpy looking species known for their intelligence and interest in all manner of technology.Their homeworld, Acciptria, is known for its many animal droids that help maintain the biosphere as an accident millennias ago nearly wiped out the whole planet.Acciptrians are often employed in other systems due to their skill in technology. They're a common sight in the galaxy.

The Luans
The Luans were a humanoid race that were active around 1500-1000 years ago. (They are highly inspired by Warframe.)Lua, their homeworld, was a part of a multiple habitable planet system that stayed out of any Galactic affairs for a long time. They were a feared people as they had advanced and unknown technology. They had the ability to create living armour known as warframes that could resist even lightsabers.These warframes were controlled by Force sensitive people called Operators. An operator was taken as a child and lived with other operators, undergoing harsh training. While operators are usually physically weak, they have immense mental strength.Their physical body disappears when they control a warframe. Even outside their warframes, they can produce grey/violet beams of pure force to take out enemies.Around 1000 BBY, they were eradicated by unknown forces and their home system was destroyed. Ranec is the only surviving Luan by the time of the Empire's formation.The warframes themselves were originally corrupted and twisted humans who were turned into biological machines against their will. Umbra is such a one and without its connection to Ranec, it becomes a feral monster. Even back in the Luan era, Umbra's kind were extremely old and rare. Regular warframes are simply organic machines with no former human host and have no active will of their own and will simply stand still if not operated.

Disclaimer
If you've gotten this far, you probably already know I am highly critical of the direction the show ended up taking. I love the concept and the characters however, so I decided to re-write the show to my own liking. (This does NOT mean I think this is the best version. But it's the version I've managed to make and I know it's imperfect. I'm just one person writing this.)In that, I've made the decision to remove Omega, for several reasons, but mostly because I don't enjoy the 'Dad Batch' formulae and I'm frankly tired of the 'grumpy man adopts child trope'.If this bothers you, please just block me and move on. I won't engage in any hate regarding this.Thank you for reading!
Headcanons
The inhibitor chips are still very much in play here and do not go away on their own. They are a danger and every clone needs to get rid of it once they're freed from the Empire.There are new races and a few crossovers (mainly Warframe) that I've created myself or adapted into the setting in numerous ways. I'm also using the Force as 'magic' for several things.Things stay fairly "canon" in the Star Wars universe until the end of the Original trilogy. Palpatine stays dead and doesn't return in any sequels. I don't have any direct plans for the future yet but I'm a huge fan of the Jedi Knight games and will most likely stick to something around that story, with a few influences from the later TV Shows.As far as I'm aware I don't really use any 'established' fandom lore, clones or not.I'm ignoring the canon established numbering of the Bad Batch, as I already had a headcanon for that.

Hakon
Species: Cardul with black and yellow wings.Weapons: Dual blasters.He always wears his black leather jacket, along with a comfortable shirt, trousers and boots in brown colours.While he's decently skilled in melee combat, he prefers to avoid that; utilizing his wings and agility to avoid most close combat.This is a man with high charisma but low wisdom. A liar, a flirter and someone who thinks the worlds owe him everything. He's very assured that his quick tongue can win him any situation.If that doesn't work he'll use his weapons or dirty methods to get what he wants. In worst cases, he expects the Durands to bail him out.

Geir
Species: Cardul with black and purple wings.Weapons: Bow, rifle, throwing axes, energy axe.Geir is quite realistic and pragmatic in his thinking, with a mind for stratgey. He's always prepared to sacrifice for the sake of the greater good, such as killing thousands of his own people, in order to usher them into the greatness that is the Empire.It's difficult to make him lose his temper, but once it happens he's spiteful and unpleasant. He loathes it when he's out maneuvered in tactics.

Arfast

Magicks in the form of dream communicating and manipulation as all seids have.Being a seid, Arfast wears robes, blended with some leather pieces as armour.

It takes a lot to dull his mood and he's got a curious and easy going spirit.

Species: Cardul with black and red wings.Weapons: Bow, blaster, two handed energy spear.Hardy and happy, Raud strives to bring a smile to anyone's face, no matter what happens.

He's also a master armstech, a rare thing among carduls. He's the inventor of the anti-shield rifle that Ash uses, a weapon whose blueprint is sought after by the Empire.His location is unknown at the moment.

Yrsa
Species: Cardul with black and blue wings.Weapons: Magicks in the form of dream communicating and manipulation as all seids have.A formerly capable seid, Yrsa sided with the Empire after Order 66 when she learned about their research. In her eyes, the seids are too old fashioned and traditional to keep up with the growing galaxy's demands.She and Geir have been together for many years.Now she's investigating the hikarens, seeking ways to make them useful to the Empire.

Zenda
Species: Cardul with black and yellow wings.Weapons: None.Zenda is an important figure on Cardulia, functioning as the carduls' ambassador and the cardul senate's closest contact.She has little time for nonsense and can seem standoffish if you don't know her. Zenda cares deeply about her people and doesn't fully trust the Republic and later the Empire.Zenda and Raud have known each other for a long time. In many ways, Zenda is the foremost reason Ash became involved with the Republic at all.

Rishka
Species: Acciptrian with grey feathers, wings and tail.Weapons: Vibro sword, blasters and detonators.A cunning acciptrian and a scavenger of tech, Rishka likes others to think she's really a pirate.
She and her crew will explore abandoned places in search for things to sell or return to its owners, in exchange for a finder's fee. They still have to make money after all.She and her crew don't scoff at the chance at robbing rich assholes (these days they're often Imperials) and will try and give the extra credits to those who need it.A long time ago, she helped out Varga at her lowest and ever since then they've been good friends.
