SUMMARY:

A cloud of darkness has enshrouded the Rebel Alliance in the Fakir Sector. With the recovery of a stolen data disk from Tatooine containing disturbing information, a breeze of fear has begun sweeping through the Alliance.

The data disk, originally stolen by a now dead Bothan Rebel sympathiser, has been found to contain information regarding a hidden Imperial Research facility responsible for the creation of the Empire’s latest weapon – Blue Harvest.

Thermal Force has begun preparation for an unexpected visit back to the hostile world of Arcan IV which the Alliance hopes will strike a blow against the Empire and destroy Operation Blue Harvest forever.

Meanwhile, as Tanlee Jandaloo continues her Jedi training, unaware of the dangers her friends will soon face, the Dark Side Adept Lumiya, obsessed with finding the members of Thermal Force, has arrived at the peaceful world of Seslont, which could have severe complications for the members of Thermal Force…

Side Event I – It’s a Small World

Staring: Vi, Ledala, and Karahaa
G.S.Date/Time: 1900 (2200 Ta.T.) – 35:08:08

Event: Vi, Karahaa and Ledala leave to go to the Police Station. Along the way, Ledala bumps into her old friend Jock McCraven who happens to be on Tatooine. Jock begins to reminisce when suddenly two patrolling Imperial troopers stop them. Vi and Karahaa are unaware of Ledala’s predicament, and continue to the Police Station. The troopers ask Ledala and Jock why they are out late at night, and ask for some identification. Jock fumbles for some ID and winks at Ledala. Ledala thinking she understood what Jock means draws her weapon and fires. Jock also draws his weapon, which was hidden in his jacket and fires. The surprised troopers fall to the ground. Vi hears the gunfire over the comlink and calls Ledala. Ledala informs him that she is all right, and that she now has Jock McCraven with her. A short time later, Jock and Ledala meet up with Vi and Karahaa. Vi, Karahaa, Ledala, and Jock soon arrive at the Police Station and find that the area is swarming with speeders and troopers. From appearances, the Station has been completely destroyed. Vi and the others notice a large hole in the side of the prison cells, which has been caused by one of the explosions. Vi then contacts Gan and Anthauna and tells them that Nim Bola and Tavri are most likely on their way to the hotel. A short time later, Gan contacts Vi and tells him to meet them on the roof of the hotel. Vi and the others then decide to steal a skiff. A short time later, the group finds an old run down skiff in an used speeder lot. Jock hot-wires the skiff and while Karahaa jury-rigs it to fly at a higher than normal altitude. The group then takes off, much to the dismay of the speeder lot’s owner. The group arrive at the hotel. Time Taken: 1 hour G.S.Date/Time: 2000 (0000 Ta.T.)

Side Event II – Nim Bola at Your Service

Staring: Gan Jan-Ru and Anthauna
G.S.Date/Time: 1900 (2200 Ta.T.) – 35:08:08

Event: Gan and Anthauna arrive at the hotel and wait in the alleyway across the road. Some time later they are contacted by Vi who tells them that Nim Bola and Tavri and most likely on their way to the hotel. A short time later, Tavri, three humans arrive at the hotel. Two of the humans are dressed in dark clothing while the third is dressed in civilian clothes. Gan and Anthauna watch as the group enters the hotel block. Gan and Anthauna move to the window of the apartment and notice Tavri and one of the humans moving a large floor panel revealing a hidden compartment. They also notice that one of the humans is collecting things from around the apartment, and appears to be packing Gan and Anthauna then notice the two dark clothed humans draw their weapons. Gan and Anthauna then smash through the window, and attack. Before they can, one of the humans gets a shot off, and seriously wounds Tavri. Gan then opens fire on the humans and kills them both. The human dressed in civilian clothes then draws a vibro-blade, and finishes them off. The human introduces himself as Nim Bola, and thanks the two for rescuing him. Anthauna checks out the window, and Gan and Nim lift the contents of the compartment out – an astromech droid. Anthauna notices an Imperial speeder closing in on their location. Gan then contacts Vi, and tells him to meet them on the roof of the hotel. Gan and Anthauna grab the droid, whilst Nim grabs Tavri’s body, and then make their way to the roof of the hotel. Upon arrival at the roof-top, Anthauna notices the Imperials getting closer A short time later, Vi and the others arrive, just as the Imperial speeder levels with the hotel. Time Taken: 1 hour G.S.Date/Time: 2000 (0000 Ta.T.) – 35:08:08

Event: The group is loaded aboard the skiff, and it is found that the load is one too heavy. Nim realises that Tavri is as good as dead, and throws his body to the Imperials below. This is much to the disgust of most of the group. The group then leaves the scene and makes their way to the Moon Swing’s docking bay. The group soon arrives at the docking bay, meeting up with a concerned Rai-Kalei. The group boards the Moon Swing and prepares to take off. Karahaa performs a sensor sweep of the ship, and finds that a tracking device has been placed on-board. The group then checks the ship physically, and they find a device. Attached to the device is a large detonator, and explosives. Karahaa examines the explosives, and informs the rest of the group that if the device is tampered with, it will explode. Ledala makes the decision to leave the device attached. Whilst the search was in progress, Rai makes himself acquainted with Jock. During the conversation, Jock requests that Rai accompany him aboard his ship the “Nimble Pixie”, to which Rai agrees. Rai and Jock bid their good-byes and leave. The group prepares the Moon Swing with Ledala as Pilot, Karahaa as co-pilot and navigator, Vi and Gan as gunners, while Anthauna guards Nim Bola. The Moon Swing then leaves Mos Eisley.
Time Taken: 1 hour
G.S.Date/Time: 2100 (0100 Ta.T.)

Event: Just before exiting the atmosphere, Karahaa detects nine TIE fighters and a Star Destroyer, all heading in their direction. Ledala pilots the ship away while Karahaa plots a course through hyperspace, as the quicker Imperials begin to close in. Vi and Gan fire at the TIEs taking a few out, but not before reinforcements arrive. Suddenly, the comlink comes alive with the voice of Jodo Kast. Kast tells the group to come about, drop their shields and prepare to be boarded, or he will detonate the device planted on their ship. The group then ignore his supposedly hollow threats and keep going. Suddenly a massive explosion rocks the Moon Swing. The device was real. Both Ledala and Karahaa perform damage checks and find that the weapon that Gan is controlling has been damaged. Gan then leaves the gunnery seat, and makes his way to the common-room where Anthauna is guarding Nim Bola. Karahaa finishes calculating the jump, and activates the hyperdrive. The group speeds away to safety.

Event: Hyperspace (Moon Swing) [ x¾ ]
Event:Whilst in hyperspace, Karahaa and Ledala begin working
on the repairs to the Moon Swing. Gan, Vi and Anthauna begin
interrogating Nim Bola. Bola tells them his story though somewhat
reluctantly:

“I am a private investigator, and have been so on Tatooine for some
time. Heh, it would appear that even on a dust ball like that, people
have secrets. Anyway, about a week ago I was out in the dune sea
looking into something when I saw a ship crash into the desert. I
went to investigate and found a seriously wounded Bothan and an
over sensitive R2 droid. The Bothan was pretty cut up, and
unfortunately, I have absolutely no medical skills. After I had got
him and the droid out, he said that I should take the droid to the
Rebel Alliance. He then fell into a coma. He was as good as dead,
and I knew the Imperials would be coming after him, so I did what
I thought would be the best. I threw him into the sarlaac".

“I then took the droid back to my room, and stashed it in the floor
compartment. The droid was pretty beat up as well, and since I
had no idea what its importance was, other than it was supposed
to go to the Rebel Alliance, I thought I might be able to make a
quick credit. So I put it on the market. I teamed up with an old
friend Tavri, whom you’ve met, and tried to sell it to the highest
bidder. Soon after I was arrested. And well you know the rest."

Questions fly and eventually Nim gets quite irate. Eventually
Karahaa comes to calm down the situation, but to no avail. Gan
then speaks with Bola alone. The two come to an agreement that
seems beneficial to both. Vi goes to examine the droid. When
activated, the droid begins speaking, and at the end of every
sentence, it says Fweep! Vi and Karahaa both examine the
droid, and find nothing wrong with it. During the search however,
Karahaa finds a data disk. When played, the disk provides maps
and technical data for a secret Imperial Weapons Facility – the
facility where Blue Harvest is produced. The droid however,
continues to end all its sentences with Fweep! Karahaa gets the
droid to perform a self diagnostic to find the problem, but to no
avail. Suspecting the worst, the droid is switched off.

Karahaa sends a message to the “Home” Base asking about
Nim Bola and what action should be taken in relation to the
droid. When asked by Karahaa to give the message command
clearance Vi, the commanding officer, refuses. Karahaa then
sends the message anyway.
