Kra'tee Sur and Jed li Turan were partners in the Recon Scouts.
Turan had just finished at the Aldera University and was celebrating with friends on Commenor when his homeworld was destroyed. Upon news of Alderaan's destruction, he contacted a family friend known to have Rebel sympathies. He joined the Rebellion and thanks to his outdoor activities growing up, military school, and participation with his university's ROTC, made it into the Recon Scouts. He turned down the offer of Lt. saying that he needed to earn it in the field.
Kra'tee Sur had Rebel friends that were killed in front of him and other family members when they came to visit and recruit for the Rebellion. His friends were followed by Imperial agents that wanted to make an example of them. Instead, Kra'tee and others joined with the blessing of their families and hopes that they would make a safer return.
After fighting with the Recon Scouts for a couple of years, Sur had become a hardened soldier but still befriended Turan when he joined the Scouts. Along with the rest of their unit, they received many commendations. But the greatest was at the establishment of the New Republic they felt they could finally bury some of their ghosts.
