Dead-enders

The dead-enders were a group of elderly men who lived in Carbon Ridge mountain on the desert planet Jakku. They wore scraps of Imperial armor and chased anyone who entered their territory away with stones while listing strings of numbers, presenting the biggest peril to anyone visiting the mountain.

During the childhood of the scavenger Rey, the junk dealer Unkar Plutt sent six of his thugs to search for buried treasure in Carbon Ridge. Dead-enders ambushed them and killed two of the thugs, although several dead-enders also died in the fighting. By 34 ABY, Rey had written about the dead-enders in her survival guide, doubting a theory that they were guarding an Imperial research base and instead suggesting that they were the surviving stormtroopers of a crashed Imperial warship.
