Following a successful assault on an Imperial Juggernaut, zone runners seek shelter.
Zone runners functioned as nimble guerrilla combatants, executing swift strikes against more heavily armored and slower-moving enemy units.
In combat scenarios, zone runners were generally tasked with approaching mobile enemy targets at close range on foot. Following attempts to neutralize or incapacitate their targets utilizing accurately thrown explosive satchels, they would quickly retreat to safety. Eschewing armor, which would impede their agility, zone runners depended on their speed and reaction time to evade enemy fire.
Prior to his career as an spy serving the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Wyl Tarson, along with his elder sibling Ved, served as zone runners for an unnamed resistance group on an equally unnamed world in opposition to the Galactic Empire.
