Note: This isn’t really meant to be taken seriously. Unless you all find it too interesting. And I may or may not have been listening to Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love”.
Renown space pirate, known rebel affiliate, huge thorn in the Imperials’ side, and an utter nightmare for the Zygerrians, the Terran-born Peter J. Quill aka Star Lord (real name Chris Pratt) in 3 BBY.
Captured by Zygerrian slavers in the Californian countryside in 2009, the then thirty year old American actor was taken off-world by his captors along with hundreds of other Californians caught by the felonoid species only for the transport to be attacked by infamous pirate Hondo Ohnaka once outside of Unknown Space.
After the pirates boarded the craft Pratt, taking the name of the obscure Marvel Comic Book hero “Peter Jason Quill”, joined them as did many other Terrans who had skills that could prove useful to Ohnaka. Pratt, now being called Quill by the pirates, would prove to be very talented as a pirate – helping Ohnaka’s crew perform many daring attacks on Imperial transports eventually however, Quill and Ohnaka would part ways for reasons unknown to this day.
Quill would then form his own pirate crew made up of the Terrans who joined the pirates back in the Terran year of 2009 as well alien and non-Terran human slaves rescued/captured by Ohnaka’s men, he would call this pirate crew “the Guardians” this large pirate crew would be a scourge for the Empire to deal with his small fleet of pirate vessels always escaping imperial authorities in hit-and-run attacks to collect supplies, valuables, recruits, or just deal damage to the empire. However, while the Guardians were a scourge to the Imperials they were a nightmare for the Zygerrians as Quill and his followers showed absolutely no mercy towards their feline enemies often times slaughtering Zygerrians wholesale, and in gruesome ways, before blowing up the captured vessels once the slaves were offloaded onto their (the pirates’) vessels. Throughout the Galactic Civil War, the Guardians would work in tandem with the Alliance to Restore the Republic even if they never joined them outright, with Quill developing a friendly rivalry with known smuggler and rebel Han Solo.

Westar-34 blaster pistol, belonging to famed bounty hunter Jango Fett and salvaged from the battlefield of the First Battle of Geonosis by the Geonosisians and sold off-world — it would eventually find its way to Quill who would use it as his signature weapon (bottom).
