Behold Jedha
The uneventful yet noisy trip to Jedha leads to a close encounter with some past acquaintances.
Firefight
Deus ex machinis
C4-BL3 & Cheebs extricate themselves from the Thrifty’s clearing and get away clean, thanks to the droideka’s covering fire … and the sudden appearance of Kiarra’s ship overhead. Seeing the Imperial assault ship lift off, they double back for a quick parts raid on the Thrifty. Returning to the Porgatu, they finish hyperdrive repairs and start fixing the hatch & droideka while C4-BL3 deploys his droid listening array to stay on alert.
Firefight!
2 ABY – 06 Echo – 13 Zheliday (Tython). Cheebs and Kantarra emerge from the training complex with holocron in hand. They are surprised to find a landed rival Gamma Class ATR-6 Assault Transport in the clearing outside and a firefight raging between the Ubese and Lorik — who is wielding a green, almost white, lightsaber. Lorik …
Four fuzzy Tauntauns & one Ugly Bantha
The Porgatu crew gathers intel on their target and other mysterious players in a game they don’t fully understand. The droids find evidence that Nix’s faction is in turn watching the party, and C4-BL3 fries their spying astromech. Eventually they hatch a plan to pose as buyers of the target’s stolen tech – but when they speak to him, they learn of the tech’s sinister nature. In a sudden turn of events, the party agrees to spirit the target offworld – just as a rival faction bursts into the Ugly Bantha with guns blazing.
From the Frying Pan into the fire
While Kantarra “delays” the Metatheran thugs, Cheebs & C4-BL3 follow Crag and recover the camtono with a threatening aura. Meeting back up at the Porgatu, they were tailed and noted the Nautolan heading for a nearby docking bay. Launching into orbit, they see a gunship follow. Cheebs lays a trap for their pursuer at a planetoid in the nearby Gizer system. Kantarra reveals a dark bargain struck with Crag. But lying in ambush they are in turn surprised by the early arrival of 4 starfighters which come in from all sides of the planetoid with ECM jamming blaring. The Porgatu opens fire, badly damaging 2 of the craft, but one of the unknown starfighters lands laser blasts on the shuttle, sending it into a spin.
Reunion & Liftoff
The Casisto crashes, suffering sudden drive failure. The probe droid finds the battle droids at the crater’s edge but is knocked out. Kantarra returns with R3-M3; the party is reunited. She gives an account of her adventures and of R3-M3’s sabotage of the light cruiser. The group finishes repairs as they watch a Star Destroyer arrive for rescue operations. After the Imperial ships all leave, the party successfully lifts off in their badly damaged shuttle and enters hyperspace for Kirian.
The Chase
2 ABY – 06 Echo – 05 Primeday (Nar Shaddaa). The crew prepares for departure. Cheebs and Kantarra head into the commercial district to shop for supplies and take care of last minute business. While loading the bike, Kantarra is approached by a human scholar, Lorik Feryss, who claims to have a connection to Gwar. …
The Path
2 ABY – 06 Echo – 13 Zheliday (Tython). With the primary hyperdrive disabled, the party is stuck on Tython. Remmy (R3-M3) sets to work repairing the drive while Cheebs, Kantarra and Lorik head to the temple site on the Zephyr. Kantarra and Lorik stumble across the den of a manka cat and discover signs …
