SUMMARY:

Thermal Force has returned to the Home Sector Fleet. Upon their arrival, they agree to assist in the construction of the Sector Headquarters to be situated on the planet of Masterhome including the training of new recruits to help in the rebellion’s efforts.

The Imperial presence in the Fakir Sector however, still grows at an alarming rate. At the request of the Emperor himself, Grand Moff Ven Dorne and his right hand man, Captain Drebbick, have joined forces with the mystical Dark Side Adept named LUMIYA in order to increase their hold on the sector.

Meanwhile, Rebel Command in Fakir Sector have received an urgent message from a Bothan Ambassador who claims to be in possession of stolen plans, which if not collected could spell certain doom for the Rebel Alliance…

Romilar also informs the group that the Bothan Ambassador never arrived at Tao-Grant, however, a rebel operative on Tatooine has recently advised Alliance Intelligence of a person who is selling sensitive information to the highest bidder. It has been found that the course that the Bothan Ambassador could have taken, could have passed by Tatooine. Romilar then informs the group that the Alliance operative on Tatooine has determined that the Empire has shown interest in making a bid for the information. The group is told that they are to go to Tatooine and make a bid for the information. To help them, the group is given 50,000 credits to make an offer with. The rebels are to make contact with an info-merchant on Tatooine by the name of Rai-Kalei , a Sullustan. The group is given a picture of Rai-Kalei to help them contact him at the Mos Eisley Cantina. The group is also told that since they have been to Tatooine before and are familiar with the environment, they have been chosen for the mission. Romilar orders the group to prepare for the mission and to leave in 2 hours. The group leaves aboard the Moon Swing for the Alliance base on Pothor.

The chase ends when Vi leaps over a dumpster, and dives over a wall. Luckily, the group keeps in contact with Vi, and they meet up with him on the other side of the wall.

Rai-Kalei then tells them that Nim Bola has an associate who is seated 3 tables down by the name of Tavri. Gan and Karahaa survey the cantina. Gan locates a Twi’lek businessman who seems to be acting suspiciously. Gan moves towards the Twi’lek and has a short conversation with him. The Twi’lek becomes despondent, and asks Gan to leave. Gan then leaves and returns to surveying the cantina. Karahaa informs Gan of a mysterious person lurking in the shadows of the Cantina who resembles the bounty hunter who they encountered at “CD’s Bar” on Arcan IV. Vi and Ledala are pointed in the direction of a Twi’lek whom Gan had spoken with earlier. They are told his name is Tavri. Ledala suggests that she speak with the Twi’lek first. Vi agrees, and Ledala goes to the bar and buys 2 drinks. Ledala then makes her way to the Twi’lek, and has a short conversation with him in an attempt to “butter him up” with an offer of the drink and a pleasant conversation. The Twi’lek again becomes despondent and rude suggesting that Ledala take her “business” elsewhere, and so Ledala signals Vi to come over. Vi then speaks with the Twi’lek of the deal at hand. After a short bartering session, even if it was one sided, Tavri – and a favour give the fee of 50,000 credits.

G.S.Date/Time: 1500 (1700 Ta.T.) – 35:08:07

Event: Approximately 20 minutes later, Gan informs the group that he followed the Twi’lek to what appeared to be a 2 storey hotel or apartment building just outside the central city area of Mos Eisley. Gan tells them that the Twi’Lek had gone upstairs in the hotel, but had not returned. Gan then informs the group that he is waiting in a alleyway across the street from the building, and gives them directions to the building. The group decides that Vi and Ledala make their way to the location Gan described, while Karahaa remains at the cantina for approximately 15 minutes before following the others in case they are followed. After the 15 minutes, Karahaa leaves the cantina, taking a different route making sure that she is not followed. While taking the diversionary route, Karahaa realises that she is lost and contacts the others for help. The group gives Karahaa directions to where they are. A short time later she arrives, and Gan tells the group that the Twi’lek had not left the building. The group wait a few hours in the shadows, waiting for the Twi’Lek to emerge. As second Twilight sets in, Karahaa decides to climb one of the buildings adjacent to the Hotel in the hope of getting a better look inside the hotel from the roof. After hiding on the roof for a short time, Karahaa is surprised by a Trianii female (feline race) who calls her by name. The Trianii then requests that Karahaa get down from the building, so she may speak with the others. Karahaa climbs from the roof while the Trianii jumps to the group below. The group is surprised by the appearance of the Trianii, and is more surprised when she identifies each one of them. With weapons drawn and ready, the group asks the Trianii how she knows who they are. The Trianii then introduces herself as Anthauna Felent-Martique, a rebel agent who has been working on Tatooine since the group’s rescue of Adar Tallon some time ago. She then informs the group that they would best be indoors for the moment. Taking Anthauna’s advice, the group leaves the confines of the alley and begins moving towards her residence.

Event: Along the way, as the remains of second twilight pass, a sniper ambushes the group from one of the rooftops. A battle begins in the street, as the first shot hits Gan in the back, narrowly missing his jet pack. Gan falls to the ground fiercely wounded. Karahaa grabs Gan, taking him into the cover of one of the buildings, and begins using a medpac on him. Vi and Ledala draw their weapons in the hope of spotting the location of the sniper. Anthauna sees a glint of armour from the roof, and points out the location to Vi. As the sniper begins shooting again, Vi drops on one knee, while Ledala hides behind cover. Both then level their blasters in the direction where the blast had come, and fire. Of the two, Vi’s is the more accurate, and suddenly there is a mass of sparks from the rooftop. Ledala’s shot goes wild, blasting a hole in the side of the wall. Anthauna races to the building where Karahaa and Gan have taken cover. Using her Trianii climbing abilities, Anthauna climbs the wall, onto the rooftop. As she reaches the roof top, she sees an armoured figure stumbling to the other side of the building Anthauna alerts the rest of the group. Vi and Ledala then race to the alleyway hoping that it joins the street on the other side of the building. Anthauna then notices the armoured figure crouching down tying a syntherope. Anthauna positions herself to shoot the sniper from the rooftop, only to have her weapon jam. Vi arrives at the alleyway first and takes cover behind the corner of the wall. Vi then notices the armoured figure abseiling down the wall that Anthauna had described.. Vi then sees the rope break, and the figure fall to the ground. Vi takes a shot at the sniper as he begins moving towards the armoured figure. Suddenly a volley of shots comes from the direction of the armoured figure. Vi is shot at and the shot narrowly misses. Vi moves back behind the wall, as another volley of shots comes from the direction of the sniper. One of the shots hits the corner, breaking through, and seriously wounds Vi. Ledala arrives at the corner, and pulls Vi back behind the wall, only to see the armoured figure disappear into the shadows. Anthauna re-joins the group, and takes them to her residence.
