Mission to Brentaal IV In 0 ABY , the crew of the Alliance to Restore the Republic affiliated privateering EF76 Nebulon - B escort frigate " Far Orbit " sent a landing party on a mission to obtain a datadisc from an Alliance contact on the planet Brentaal IV . The datadisc , containing fresh and sensitive information regarding the route of the Imperial " Star Galleon " - class frigate " Emperor ' s Will " , was handed off to the privateer party , but the group ended up being pursued by Imperial Security Bureau agents . Eventually , the group managed to escape the planet , after the " Far Orbit " helped create a diversion . Prelude . In the year 0 ABY , at the time of the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic , some of the crew of the Imperial Navy ' s EF76 Nebulon - B escort frigate " Far Orbit " mutinied from under Imperial control . Dhas Fenoep Vedij took the title of captain for the ship , and led the mutineers to become a privateering vessel for the Alliance . Eventually , an Imperial task force tracked down the " Far Orbit " , which was then operating in the Core Worlds ' Ringali Shell , and though they failed to capture her , managed to heavily damage the ship . The " Far Orbit " retired from the Ringali Shell to repair for several weeks . When the ship was ready to return , Vedij had a landing party assembled for the first mission the privateers would take on as soon as they got back to the Ringali Shell . If everything went according to plan , the privateer landing party would land on the planet Brentaal IV , and receive a datadisc containing sensitive data from a Devaronian waiter , named Tynial , who was working in the Pathline Tapcafe , after asking that same waiter for " Gruuvan " shaal . The mission . The group arrived in Brentaal space after using a captured freighter as transport , and were confronted by an Imperial IPV - 1 System Patrol Craft . The craft scanned the ship in an inspection , and asked about the cargo it was carrying , as well as the point of origin . The landing party passed the inspection due to their fake cover identities , and proceeded to a landing bay in Cityblock Kesk - 319 , a region on Brentaal . The landing party went to the Pathline Tapcafe , located at the intersection of Route 6903 and Citypath 515 , via the region ' s mass transit system after smuggling the few weapons they brought with them through the weapon - scanners at the public transit stations . Without incident , the party arrived at the tapcafe , but failed to find Tynial there among the waiters . According to the staff , the Devaronian had been arrested earlier , alongside some other non - humans , for not having the proper identification . Despite the lack of Tynial , the group ordered " Gruuvan " shaal , and was approached by a young waiter , who suggested they stop by the Jovvitz , a nightclub in Block 135 , later that night . Sure enough , the privateers made their way there , and found that the nightclub was closed and abandoned , with its windows painted over . Shortly after breaking in , the landing party was confronted by blazing lights , and a voice demanding that they identify themselves . When they said they were crew of the " Far Orbit " , the lights dimmed , and the waiter from before , who was a slicer from a Rebel cell on Brentaal , stepped out of the shadows . While the rest of his group hung back , he handed them the datadisc they were seeking , which contained recently sliced Imperial data so important that the Imperials would close the spaceport if word of the theft got out . Just then , Imperial Security Bureau agents arrived outside the building , and ordered those inside the building to surrender . In response , the lights of the Jovvitz were turned off , and the waiter and the privateers quickly exited the building via the back door , and boarded an Ubrikkian Industries CL69 Landspeeder to escape . Two ISB agents , after firing a pair of blaster rounds through the windows , breached the building in search of anyone inside . With their quarry getting away , two security speeders pursued the privateers and the waiter , and managed to shoot the waiter dead , causing the man to slump and loose control . However , the privateers regained handling of the speeder after wrestling control away from the body , and proceeded to shake off the ISB agents on their tail before heading back to their freighter in the spaceport . After paying the docking fees , the party ' s ship lifted off just before the Kesk Cityblocks ' spaceports were shut down , with all starships that flew from their ordered to land , or be shot down . By then in orbit of Brentaal , the freighter belonging to the party refused to land , and subsequently was pursued by TIE / LN starfighter s ; the freighter activated a distress beacon , signaling the " Far Orbit " to come and get them . The " Far Orbit " jumped into the system momentarily , raising all deflector shields as it prepared for combat . The frigate also sent out a wide - beam transmission , which told the populace of Brentaal IV why they had become privateers , and their reasons for doing so . This announcement enraged the Imperials , who dispatched all of their Imperial security forces to engage the " Far Orbit " . The TIEs , who got in one strafing pass on the freighter , disengaged to attack the EF76 , leaving a pair of Hunter - Killer probot s to attempt to capture the freighter as the droids passed it in pursuit of the frigate . The freighter managed to evade the droids , and jumped to hyperspace , leaving the " Far Orbit " to follow suit moments after . Aftermath . The datadisc the team obtained turned out to contain information regarding the " Star Galleon " - class frigate " Emperor ' s Will " and the route it would take to the world Esseles three days after the acquiring of the datadisc . The datadisc also said that the value of the contents of the " Emperor ' s Will " , mostly precious metals and spices , was valued at 400 million credits ; the escort of the galleon was going to be the EF76 " Zaff Jendinpurg " . As the " Emperor ' s Will " was going to be in hyperspace until it reached its destination , the crew of the " Far Orbit " planned to pull it out of hyperspace and steal the cargo . This plan led to an encounter with the Immobilizer 418 cruiser " Claw " , and later a battle for the contents of the galleon . Meanwhile , the ISB actively began to hunt the Rebel slicers that had aided the privateers . Behind the scenes . The mission first appeared in " Raid on Brentaal " , an adventure scenario in 1998 ' s " The Far Orbit Project " , by Timothy S . O ' Brien . The book was a supplement to West End Games ' s " " and had the same theme of the previous publication " Pirates & Privateers " , as it followed the privateering vessel " Far Orbit " . Despite the adventure scenario giving players an idea of what can happen , and leaving the adventure plan up to the players , this mission does not give as much choice and paths to the players as in other scenarios . The ship that the party uses to get to Brentaal IV can be a shuttle , though it is recommended that it is a captured freighter . In the speeder chase , if things are too easy for the privateers , the gamemaster who presides over the game will add two more speeders to chase them . The mission can also be expanded into a privateer only mission , so they acquire the datadisc themselves after they research the planet and get a base of operations .
