Het Nkik grew up on a sandcrawler with his brother Jek Nkik.
They did everything together and they were rebels.
They didn't like how the Jawas where being treated by everybody.
The Empire would often use Jawa fortresses for target practice.
Het and Jek once found an assassin droid and agaist the rules they rebuilt it.
When they had finished they showed their clan leader the droid.
He was furious but he liked their ambition so he let them keep it.
They sold it to one of Jabba's enemies, a risky thing to do.
Eventually, Het got transfered to a different sandcrawler.
The only time they got to see each other was at the Jawa Swap Meet.
This event only happened once a year and it was a huge event.
Every sandcrawler had a space in the swap meet.
The Jawas quickly set up camp and could take it down and flee at any sign of danger.
Het Nkik went and saw Jek every year at the swap meet.
That one year was different though.
There was no trace of Jek's sandcrawler.
Het traded some junk for an Imperial blaster rifle.
When the swap meet was over his sandcrawler went looking for Jek's.
When they found it an old man was burning the dead Jawas.
He said that Imperials had destroyed the sandcrawler.
Het was furious. He traded his part of the salvage for a landspeeder.
He went to Mos Eisly and found the platoon that had killed his friend.
There was an old wreckage that would be perfect to attack from.
He went to the Cantina for a last drink.
He sat down by a stranger and started to talk to him.
The old man walked into the bar and Het thought that this was a sign that everything would go as planned.
He started to tell the stranger his story and he asked Het if he wanted to purchase a Tuskan Raider War Talisman.
Het bought it and in return for the item he let the stranger see his blaster rifle.
The stranger eyed it and held it for a while and gave it back.
Het left the bar with a sense of power.
He got up on the wreckage and prepared to fire.
With a strong UTINNIhe stood up and pulled the trigger but nothing happened.
He looked at the blaster rifle and saw that the stranger had taken the power pack.
One of the troopers aimed and fired.
HE STARTED THE JAWA REBELLION
