Gathering an Alliance

Gathering an Alliance was a progressive story arc that was created in January 2009 and is intended to lead on for the whole year before leading onto a grander Event to correlate with the anniversary of the guild RESOLUTION. 
Initially leading on from the New Dawn Plot that culminated with the Empire Strikes Back episode with Rhyley Stargazer forming a Commando Unit for the Rebel Alliance before the Rebels lose the Battle of Hoth.
Telling the tale of the period after the Rebel Alliance struggles following the losses of the Battles of both Hoth and New Plympto, the story weaves a tale that touches on politics, religion and war as well as showing things that are often forgotten in main Star Wars canon. 
The main target of the plot was to increase the story of those that were currently identified in the existing Rebel Group, characters like Rhyley Stargazer, Raedan Kitani and Erisey Casoona-Kitani as well as to introduce a new breed of characters that would see their story flourish like Sava Stary, Exao Gunn, Rhelex Jubulii and Kaje-James Reilloc, as the story grew it would also see the formation of a new exciting intelligence network group for the Rebel Role-play Group.
The story has since seen an increase in the amount of members wanting to take part in Rebel Plots, spanning a new avenue of Role-playing. 
Centralised on the Rebel Role-play groups, the story is set to grow and touch a varying degree of interesting characters both old and new.

==Brief Plot Synopsis==
The Rebel Alliance has been forced into the Outer Rim following the devastating loses at both Hoth and New Plympto. With their fleet gathered at Sullust, Alliance Command looks to the forgotten regions of the Outer Rim and beyond in the hope of finding a place to hide and to rebuild. Sending out it's many agents to explore this vastness of space; Alliance Operatives soon bring back details of possible areas with which to find new allies in order to help rebuild their battered forces.
One such region is the Draxial System. Outlined for it's stock of natural resources, this System is currently in the grip of a Hundred Year War, that has ravaged the local sectors. Hoping to use their diplomatic means to end the war, the Alliance decides to send a small fleet in order to broker a peace as well as a possible Alliance.
Meanwhile with the House of Pelagia gripped in a desperate battle to keep their Noble House from falling in the Colonies, a trusted Diplomat approaches the Alliance with a possible pact, unifying the Rebellion and the House of Pelagia, and providing the Rebels with key Intelligence of the Core.
==The Main Feature==
===A New Hope===
Rhyley returned from the Sullust System with new orders. He was apprehensive over the next mission however his mindset was on the impending battle he would need to prepare his unit for in the coming months. Sullust had been a welcome distraction, the Alliance had signed the unit off for a few weeks to give them time to recover and recuperate, with Kileo Dimoh and Sava Stary, having recently defected and also staying at the same location as the Stargazer's Commandos things eventually felt a little cramped. In truth Rhyley enjoyed the time in the Bunker, it was like how things were like during his time at the CorSec Academy however with the inclusion of Cayla Dunestrider and sudden appearance of Aniwevei Chreitti, the bunker had suddenly felt far more claustrophobic than he had wanted.
Upon returning Rhyley had news to deliver. Elected for three missions, the group had little time to prepare for their next sortie, the rescue of Talkian Thresh's son Venir. Informing first Kileo Dimoh, Sava Stary and Erisey Casoona-Kitani, the three decide upon a plan to set up camp on the planet Talus before scouting Corellia and deciding on the best route onto the troubled planet. 
With Stargazer soon informing everyone within SGC of their impending mission and subsequent missions there after, the unit shifted as much of the resources at the Rishi location, Haven One onto the Freighters Flash Point and Rogue Star. With their plans set into fruition, the group were soon landed at Talus.
====Finding a place to call home====
With Stargazer taking Erisey, Kileo, and Kaje-James Reilloc with him to investigate the Imperial Corellian Fleet, Raedan along with Exao began scouting for a location to set up camp whilst the remainders of the unit set about getting supplies from Dearic. The two men travelled into the metropolis in the hope of acquiring information on the local regions. Able to acquire a map, Raedan and Exao found a perfect location, west of Dearic. On the way they would stumble across an Imperial Outpost, heavily armed. Avoiding detection the two men would find a place suitable for camp just north of the town, Kystes.
Setting up camp, they would move the Flash Point to the location as they awaited the return of the Rogue Star.
====Investigating the Corellian Fleet====
Arriving in the Corellian Sector, Kaje-James immediately initiated the INTRADSINK aboard the Rogue Star. Masking their emissions the freighter was able to move about without detection by any sensors of local ships or starports. Able to find a specific type of satellite, Erisey Casoona-Kitani managed to upload her access to the sat, thus tapping into the public's main networks. After receiving a communication from Exao Gunn, the ship would steer towards a Nebulon-B Frigate, in the hope of finding out details as to what ships were in system. Arriving at the frigate they would soon learn that it was an Imperial vessel, steering away and fleeing the IRS suddenly would cause the entire ship to shut down, immediately rendering them viewable to the Imperial Frigate just as a flotilla of Star Destroyers and an Interdictor arrived at the system. 
Powered down and vulnerable to an attack, the Empire immediately locked on the Rouge Star able to identify it as the personal ship of Rhyley Stargazer even with the ship transmitting a different set of codes. With an Imperial Boarding Part closing quickly, Rhyley would work frantically to get the ship's engines back on-line with Kaje trying to do all he could in delaying the Imperials. Erisey meanwhile would discover the reason for the Rogue Star's shut down as Kileo stood by trying to aid in anyway she could.
As two Star Destroyers broke away and opened suppressive fire with the aim to capture the ship, Rhyley directed both Erisey and then Kileo with how to get the ship back on-line. With Kaje opening fire from the top turret at the swarming TIE Fighters, the ship would suddenly kick back into life as Erisey manages to rectify the problem with the ship's engines. Fleeing immediately thanks to Rhyley's flying and Kileo's calculations the ship was able to safely retreat from Corellia and return to Talus with details of the Whyren Fleet and knowledge that somehow the Empire had managed to acquire Rhyley's secret codes.
====Making Plans====
With the unit re-united on Talus, Stargazer had decided to leave the unit on the planet and return to Sullust, fearing his continued stay may jeopardise the mission, however due to the damage sustained whilst above Corellia from Imperial Forces, the Rogue Star was in no shape to fly again. Coupled with the news that Exao Gunn and Raedan Kitani had scouted the region and stumbled across a remote Imperial Base, heavily fortified, Rhyley looked to disguise the ship as much as he could, placing leaves and branches on the hull to mask her presence whilst making sure the ship transmitted no signals at all.
Yet with the vessel needing parts replaced, Stargazer knew that it would be days before he could get the ship back into the air. With the camp fully stocked, including a small antenna for broadcasting in the local areas, Stargazer approached the others with an idea of finding out more about the Imperial Base as well as trying to find a way to get hold of the items needed to carry out the mission.
Sava Stary came up with a possible plan to infiltrate the Imperial Base. Needing IDs and equipment to mask their features, a group would travel to Dearic and contact a local thug by the name of Varro a former associate of Exao Gunn's. Once located Kileo Dimoh and Sava would try to acquire the fake ID cards they would need to fool the Imperials into thinking they were Maintenance Crew Members. Meanwhile Rhyley and Kaje-James Reilloc would scour the city for the items needed to fix the Star. With Raedan and Erisey working on a program to be placed inside the Imperial Base that would inform them of any Imperial Movement towards their camp as well as Terasa, Rhelex and Exao remaining behind to keep watch on the camp's perimeter, the small group left on swoops for Dearic.
====Dearic or Bust====
On approach to the bustling metropolis, Kileo and Sava donned Armour and assumed the identities of Bounty Hunters. Leaving Rhyley and Kaje to look for the parts with which to fix the Rogue Star, the two headed for the city's main Cantina. Rhyley and Kaje however would find their way to the Market District. Scouring the local terminals for a possible place to purchase the items needed, they would soon find out they would need to travel to Nashal. With Kaje securing passage on a shuttle to the neighbouring city, the two men left Dearic aboard the small passenger shuttle.
In the Cantina, Stary and Dimoh would approach the barman owner of the Cantina, a Sullustan named Moin Siev. As Sava pressed the Sullustan for information regarding Varro, the barman remained reluctant with parting with any details without some sort of monetary exchange. Not happy with this approach Kileo talked with local patrons however no one seemed willing to give any details regarding this Varro character. With few other options, Sava Stary decided to take things into his own hands to try and squeeze the info from the reluctant barman. Taking him into the back and shoving the business of a carbine into his mouth, Sava seemed to make some ground however as the local patrons took note of what was going on, Kileo suddenly became cornered by patrons wielding blasters. Backing into the rear room, Sava and Kileo were trapped with the barman, whilst three thugs watched the door for any sign of movement. 
Arriving in Nashal Stargazer and Reilloc began looking for the place that sold the ship part they were after. Making their way into the rougher side of town, the two men would see an Imperial Patrol near by. Taking shelter alongside the Cantina, Kaje-James would contact Erisey Casoona-Kitani to head to Nashal and take out the local security recordings. Meeting her in the cantina, the trio would split up, Stargazer looking to find a way around the patrol to the store, whilst Erisey and Kaje found a quiet terminal with which to try and tamper with the Security Cameras. Slicing the terminal, Erisey managed to change the feeds, before the pair headed off back towards Dearic.
With Kileo and Sava trapped, Exao Gunn eventually arrived at the cantina, hoping to aid the pair knowing their predicament. Arrogantly the young Rebel strode directly up to the three thugs that were watching the door, hoping to find out what they were doing. With other patrons, Mysty Fyrs and Rymel Trysinh also trying to investigate the commotion, the three thugs made up of a Gran, a Trandoshan and a Weequay, ordered the inquisitive patrons to leave. Following repeated attempts to get Exao, Mysty and Rymel to leave, the thugs soon lost their patience. Releasing a security system that made visibility difficult in the cantina as well as hidden turrets deploy and take aim at the remaining patrons, the Trandoshan shot Exao as Mysty and Rymel fled.
Having no clue what was going on outside the door, Kileo and Sava tried to get more information from the reluctant barman. Gaining little insight, the pair decided to try their luck in a hostage situation. Just as Sava stepped through however, Kaje-James managed to contact Kileo, informing her that he was back in Dearic. Informing Kaje of their dire situation, the cocky pilot decided upon trying to shut out the security in place at the cantina. Finding power generators, he unloaded a couple of shots into the mechanical wells, blowing the generator and causing the majority of the town to lose all power. 
With the thugs disorientated as to what was going on, and the turrets now dead, Sava, Kileo, along with Mysty, Rymel and fellow patron Meevi, managed to apprehend the three thugs with the barman being caught in the middle of the blaster fight. With their opponents dropped, and having recovered Exao Gunn who had in fact been stunned, the Rebels made a quick retreat from the Cantina as did the remaining patrons. Within moments its owners locked the entire Cantina down, before local Fed Dub Officials were fully informed.
Returning back to the camp, the group would find Rhyley Stargazer returned having managed to recover the ship parts they needed. 
====Preparation====
It wouldn't be long before the Rogue Star was fully repaired however given the unit's failures in Dearic and haunted by his own visions, Stargazer opts to remain on Talus and investigate Dearic whilst providing support. Meeting with an old friend Corran Horn, Rhyley would receive an ID Cylinder of a CorSec Agent as well as a Ship Transponder from a freighter known to have left the system. Returning these to Erisey and Kileo, Raedan would later supply fake IDs having acquired them from a contact on Talus. Having lost so much time already, Kileo would plan the operation on Corellia before the unit under her directives along with Sava Stary, left for Corellia.
====Finding the Target====
Using the modified Nova Cruiser, Flash Point, Kileo along with Erisey, Exao Gunn, Kaje-James Reilloc and Sava Stary would arrive in the Corellian Sector from the Commenor System having gone there to change the ship's transponders first. Touching down at the landing pad in the quiet town of Ravenholme, the unit left the ship with supplies and made their way north towards the Prinsly Estate. Stopping just under a click away from the estate, Kileo had decided to first make a camp and then to recon the estate initially before deciding on a plan of action unless Imperial Agents were closer than they had considered. Setting out again for the location, the group would see an Imperial AT-ST on patrol close to the estate. Deciding instead to launch a rescue now rather than later, the group quietly made their way around the AT-ST and it's unit of Stormtroopers.
Closing in on the estate as they neared the gates, tragedy would befall the group as an Imperial Scout spotted them. Knowing that there would be little time before the Empire arrived in force, Stary and Reilloc would lead the assault on the estate's sentry security droids. Forcing their way into the estate, they would come across the manor's residential protocol droid. Unable to gleam anything from his databanks, the unit would continue it's search before finding a Mon Calamari worker hiding in the dining room. After forcing her to comply, the Rebels would soon learn that Venir Thresh had been missing for days.
With time running out, Kileo would launch a quick investigation on the desk belonging to Talkian Thresh as well as a hidden terminal that was stored in a secret room. Gathering crucial intelligence and killing any footage of their arrival, the group would flee the manor and hi-jack the diplomat's personal shuttle as Imperial Stormtroopers mounted their own assault to try and capture the Rebel Operatives.
Flying into the mountains, the group would abandon the shuttle and make their way back to Ravenholme. Arriving there, they would watch hidden in the trees as CorSec Agents captured the freighter, Flash Point. With little to no supplies, no way out, and no Venir, the unit retreated back into the forests and remained there until daybreak.
====Best Laid Plans====
Making their way into the northern forests, the group decide upon scouting the city of Kor Vella before sending Sava Stary and Kaje-James Reilloc for supplies. Managing to enter the city, the two move quickly to gather food, a vehicle, camping equipment and possible items for disguises before leaving the city and rejoining the others. Pressing on North, the group scale into the mountains before finally setting up camp not far from Doaba Guerfel. 
With the need to find out what happened to the ship, Kileo and Erisey head into the city and tap into the city networks. Meanwhile, Exao Gunn along with Sava Stary and Kaje-James Reilloc make the long trip back to the estate where upon they watch from afar an Imperial Garrison completely lock down the area. With further news reports that the Empire had initiated a blockade of the planet, Erisey and Kileo would learn of how CorSec had tracked the ship before investigating and finding a ship that didn't match the transponder signals. Treating it as a possible pirate ship, CorSec had moved the vessel to another location.
Returning to camp, the unit would spend the next day mauling over the items they had managed to acquire as well as asking Glohen for any possible insight. With a possible link to a company named THXi Communications LTD that may be tracking the child, the group begin planning for the task ahead. With Venir still missing, the ship now impounded and the planet locked-down, the chances of successfully completing the mission were minuscule.
====Here We Go Again====
With a hopeful plan in place, those within the unit don disguises before heading to Doaba Guerfel. Upon entering the city, the unit uses a stolen Code Cylinder to access the CorSec Main Central Network. There Kileo manages to implant an order to send the ship, Flash Point to a scrapyard for immediate salvage so that they may later recover the vessel themselves. Able to find details of the company, THXi Communications LTD, that may hold the key to finding Venir Thrash, the group set off towards Bela Vistal where the company is rumoured to have offices.
Finding the offices quickly, Kileo decides to split the unit up, with her, Kaje-James and Sava travelling towards the scrapyard where they hope Flash Point has been delivered, leaving Erisey and Exao to deal with trying to retrieve any data regarding the young, Venir Thresh. Arriving at the scrapyards, the trio would come into contact with Parvus Weebi. Finding out that the only Nova that had been delivered to the Scrapyard had already been sold, the trio would have to offer over the odds in order to try and broker a deal with the with the diminutive scrapyarder. After a continuing saga of bartering, the trio would also learn how badly damaged the Flash had become, with scavengers ripping out various parts of the interior as well as recovering certain key parts for the ship, such as the Hyperdrive Quaflux, a key component of the Hyperdrive Generator. 
With the ship languishing in the hands of its new owners, it is at this time, that Sava and Kileo come across a decrepit Corellian YT-2400 Freighter. With it's engines missing, no weapons and minimal shields, in order to broker a deal for the Flash Point, the trio barter for the other ship to be included in the price. With it finally being agreed along with a few parts to help support both ships in flight, they would also acquire a former CorSec Mankvim-814 Light Interceptor in order to aid their hopeful retreat from Corellia. With the deal done, both Weebi and his older brother, owner of the scrapyard Maior Weebi, began personally repairing the ships as best they could for when Kaje-James and Sava next returned, whilst Kileo remained to reprogram the droid pilot of the small Interceptor.
Meanwhile thanks to the logical arguments of Exao Gunn, the protocol droid within the THXi Office delivered the Big Bro Program to the young Jedi. Able to find the ID for Venir Thresh through the items they had recovered from the terminals and files within the Prinsly Estate, finally Exao would know where Venir Thresh was hidden, Coronet.
With Erisey, Exao, Sava and Kaje-James rendezvousing within Coronet in disguise, the four would set about quickly intercepting Venir. Though initially scaring him, their tales and knowledge of his father, family, home and staff convinced him that these people were who they said they were. Leaving with them, the group make their way back to the scrapyards.
====No Such Thing As Luck====
With the boy secured, the unit would need to leave Corellia quickly, knowing the Empire may be drawing close. With the droid programmed to act as an escort fighter, using old CorSec coding, the YT-2400 was attached to the Nova Courier, Flash Point via grappling hooks before the two ships slowly lifted from the surface. With CorSec happy to leave the ship with its escort, having been duped by the droid's coding, the three ships lifted into the upper atmosphere of Corellia. 
Suddenly however the droid fighter would explode, leaving the two ships facing an Imperial Fleet of immense size and no cover. Immediately they were hailed by the lead Imperial Star Destroyer, Ravisher, insisting on the two ships returning to the surface. With their attempts at bluffing the Imperial Controller thwarted quickly, those onboard the two ships new they would be captured upon return. With Imperial TIEs approaching, an idea by Sava Stary was their last chance at fleeing the planet.
Knowing that their shields couldn't take any major damage from any dogfights, and with the engines of the ship nowhere near their usual standard, it was hoped that by using the planet's atmosphere, if entered at the right angle, the ship could skim around the planet, picking up vital speed with which to slingshot the two vessels into hyperspace. With Kaje-James, willing to take the risk, a daring plan was put into motion with the Imperial Fleet drawing closer.
With the ships engulfed in flames as it whisked through the upper atmosphere, the speed of the ship quickly increased, enough to slingshot the two vessels into a quick-jump to Talus. Free from any Imperial Fleet with their transponder signals unable to be tailed thanks to their manoeuvres, the damage done to the two vessels made any landing at a planet perilously dangerous. Hailing Rhyley Stargazer, Stargazer and those that had remained on Talus, would leave camp aboard the Rogue Star. Up in orbit, Rhyley would move his ship into holding the other vessels via grappling hooks as the three ships made the slow limp jump to Sullust.
Able to be aboard the same ship thanks to the access hatches of the vessels, the unit was finally together as one again.
====Home For Now==== 
Exiting at Sullust, Rhyley would detach the Rogue Star from the other two ships and land aboard the Mon Calamari Cruiser Home One. There he would meet with his father, Major Taei Wynonyms, before informing his unit of their success.
On recreational leave before their next mission, those within the unit were awarded the Order of the Starbird, for their services over the past six months. A surprise that went down well with those that was available for the ceremony.
===Strange Signals===
Nearing the start of the Draxial Mission, Alliance Intelligence would intercept a strange signal emanating from Malastare. Bored of the time left on rest, Rhyley decided to go investigate the signal. With a few members of the unit joining him along with Kileo Dimoh, the journey to Malastare proved quick. Landing planet side with the majority of the planet now showing an Imperial presence however leads to Rhyley and Kileo hiding in the Starport as Erisey, Exao and Terasa Asheeri examine the local area before trying to find the source of the signal. Getting coordinates, the group buy shuttle passes to the town nearest the location.
With the decrease in Imperial Forces at the small town, Rhyley acquired speeders for the group as Erisey lead the way to the destination of the signal. Leaving the speeders a click away from the coordinates, the group would make their way slowly on foot towards the source. Growing closer, they would soon realise it was an Imperial Facility, heavily guarded and marshalled. Reluctant to take on a force of that size, Rhyley ordered the group to retreat however Exao Gunn began to display a sense of knowing someone inside the facility. With the remainder of the group wanting to leave, Rhyley listened quietly to Exao and then trusting in his instinct ordered the group to prepare an ambush.
With their trap set, Rhyley would hatch the plan that would see the Rebels ambush Imperial Stormtroopers. Using their own armour as a disguise, the group would somehow manage to find their way into the facility, using Terasa as a 'captured prisoner'. Inside they would quickly try to find out what was going on, however before the group could make any major investigations, the alarm would be triggered regarding the Facility's Rebel Infiltrators. Their cover blown, Exao Gunn would find his former Lover, Zalena Tone inside the medical wing, lying in a coma. Pleading with Rhyley to take her with them, Rhyley reluctantly agrees, setting off with Terasa to cause a distraction large enough to allow Erisey, Kileo, Exao and Zalena time to escape.
Making their way to the facility's power core the two men agreed to blow the main generators and rupture the facility. Taking aim, Terasa would deal the final blow to the core, the explosion caving the area above the underground facility and setting off a series of further explosions, as Rhyley and Terasa would run for their lives with fleeing Imperials. Outside with the ground caved in and the Imperials in disarray, the group would manage to sneak away from the facility amidst the chaos.
With the timely arrival of the RAGS Bulkyare in the system, Rhyley would order Emfive to bring the Rogue Star to Greenfield in order to pick Rhyley and the rest of his allies up. With the Gunship diverting the attention of the Imperial Fleet in space, Rhyley piloted the Star into the atmosphere before jumping to safety at Chandrila's moon, Chanmea. Reconvening at his grandfather's shipyards, Rhyley would leave his vessel, Rogue Star and Emfive in the custody of Gern Stargazer, as he lead the Bulkyare to the rendezvous with Princess Leia Organa and the Alliance Corvette Tantive V at the Dakmir Asteroid Belt. 
===The Hidden Foe===
Arriving at the Dakmir Asteroid Belt before the Tantive V, the unit would try and gain contact with the Asteroid Station, Tilk's Rock. Unable to gain any contact with those supposedly on the Asteroid and with the safe arrival of the Tantive V, Stargazer orders the unit to take a closer look. With Z-95 Head-hunters suddenly springing an attack, the Bulkyare would fight it's way to land at the station. Organising a boarding party Stargazer leads an investigation into what has happened on the eerily silent station. With Stary, Jubulii, Dimoh, Casoona-Kitani and Gunn assembling the boarding party, the group makes their way in. 
Even as they approached on foot from the outer hangar, the station was still quiet with most outer doors being locked. Forcing their way in they would soon encounter hostiles inside. With a blaster battle ensuing, Kileo along with Erisey would reveal the location had been attacked by pirates and had locked Tilk'olaire and his men up, in the cells below. Blasting their way deeper into the station the group would eventually manage to find Tilk'olaire.
However their rescue was short lived when the station's self destruct initiated. With little time to escape and needing crucial intelligence for their jump into the Expanse, Rhyley makes the order to try and stop the self-destruct. With Tilk'olaire giving instructions, they manage to force their way into the epicentre of the station, killing the pirate leader in the process. There, Kileo Dimoh would slice her way into the system and end the countdown of the self-destruct. Having saved the station and Tilk'olaire, the Rebels were able to make an important ally in the system as well as recover the Intel needed to make their jump to the Expanse. 
Further aiding with repairs to the station, two days would pass before the Bulkyare and the Tantive V, began their jump into the Expanse, and to a meeting with the Alkainians.
====Into the Expanse====
Arriving at the expanse, the Corellian Corvette Tantive V, flanked by the Alliance Gunship Bulkyare came to a crawl. With Rhyley Stargazer commanding the Bulkyare, last minute systems checks were being undertaken by the Rebel Crew whilst her Highness, Princess Leia Organa contacted the leaders of the planet, Alkain. With strange small bug-like starfighter ships creeping towards them, Leia's request for an audience was granted, the Ascenion Grand Admiral Foic was to assemble his Drahgoon Fleet to intercept the Rebel Diplomatic Flotilla in orbit and ascertain what it was that these newest arrivals wanted.
Agreeing to a show of good will, Leia orders the Tantive V and Bulkyare to power down all shields and weapons. Unhappy by this order and with the apprehension of the readings they were gathering from the Alkainain vessels, Rhyley disguised their ship's capabilities with a Corellian Bluff. With their ship appearing supposedly powered-down the two fleets would meet. With Erisey listening over the converse of Leia and Foic, the Bulkyare would encounter strange readings as one of the engines fail. With Bai'yle Norssohn able to rectify the situation, the circumstance was largely forgotten as again their attention turned back to the correspondence between Leia and Foic.
Suddenly and without warning from their view screen in the Bulkyare, the Tantive V would fire missiles at the Drahgoon Fleet. With two ships having been hit, and exploded on impact, Stargazer orders those in the Bulkyare to battle-stations, engaging in the fire fight that ensues rapidly and positioning the Bulkyare between the remaining Drahgoon ships and the Tantive V. Expecting to fight their way out of the expanse, Leia Organa orders the Rebel Fleet to stand down, and surrenders herself to the Ascenion Force. With the Ascenions agreeing, Rhyley inserts himself at Leia's side, refusing to allow her to stand trial on her own on foreign soil. Tasking his unit with finding out what happened as well as to hatch a rescue attempt, Stargazer leaves, joining Organa before the two are taken onboard the Drahgoon Capital Ship and head to Alkain to stand trial for war crimes against Alkain.
Investigating the circumstances regarding the fight, leads the Unit to remain puzzled regarding what had happened. It was clear after repeated investigations that the Tantive V never fired the missiles that destroyed the Drahgoons before witnessing the farce trial of Stargazer and Organa and their life sentencing. 
====Starting Again====
Deciding that they needed more information about the Expanse, the two Rebel ships return to the Dakmir Asteroid. There they encounter an old man that tells them a wondrous story regarding the Ascenions, the Alkainians and the Falucians. Unsure as to the nature of these tales, a fortunate bounty hunter name Tolkin, and his droid 'Arcee' managed to take the Rebel's by surprise shooting Kaje-James, and capturing their target, Sava Stary.
Making their way to Hangar 91, Stary, Tolkin and Arcee disappear onboard an YT-1250. With Rhelex leading the chase after the bounty hunter, the Mandalorian Warrior's haste would see him blasted down by the ship's concealed Rail-Gun as Exao Gunn, contacts the Station's owner Tilk’olaire, with closing the hangar doors. With Lex in dire circumstances and the ship seemingly trapped for now, Gunn would then order Bai'yle Norssohn to ready the Bulkyare in order to prevent the YT-1250 from escaping. Meanwhile Kaje-James still suffering from his blaster wound, would try to reach Lex. With the Rail-Gun still taking aim at those in the hangar, an attempt to draw it's fire by Meevi Tracyn, a compatriot of Rhelex, would see the Rail-Gun spew it's fire power at the unprepared Mandalorian, crippling him.
However this distraction would give Exao enough time to throw his own Saber at the Rail-Gun, penetrating the weapon and devastatingly rupturing it. With the Rail-Gun now dead, the YT-1250's main cannon would fire the shots needed to open the hangar doors. Fleeing from the hangar, Norssohn along with Raedan Kitani, Erisey Casoona and Terasa Asheeri would give chase in the Bulkyare, powering it's Ion Cannons, before distinguishing the YT-1250's engines, making it dead in space.
Meanwhile Kaje-James and Exao would help both Rhelex and Meevi back to the medical bay. There the injuries sustained by Meevi would be dealt with quickly, however Rhelex's injuries would prove more severe. Nearly his entire left side would need replacing with cybernetics and prosthetic replacement limbs. Needing two days in bacta before finally being registered as well enough to leave, Lex was changed beyond all recognition.
====Into the Dragon's Den====
Needing to take a chance, reconvening on the Bulkyare, it was decided to further investigate the Falucians. Making their way to Falucio, they were warmly greeted and directed to make contact with Administrator Lien. Landing at an outpost, the unit decide to split in two, half staying with the gunship while the others further investigate Falucio. The technology obviously very different to that of their own would hinder their progress, however they would make their way towards the Falucio capital of Otoyko.
At Otoyko, Sava Stary, Meevi, and Rhelex would witness at first hand the Ramsuai and their deadly weapon, the Antkanai. Eventually they would find an audience with Administrator Lien who would give them an insight into Alkain and the Ascenion. Offered the chance to stay as his guests at his own Estate, Lien would spend the majority of the night drinking with Meevi, Sava and Rhelex and partaking further stories of insight. With those at the Bulkyare offered to join the others at Lien's Estate, Norssohn would remain on the gunship as the majority made the trip over.
The next day would see the entire group again meet with Administrator Lien. Putting forward their own tale of the ill-fated meeting with the Ascenion, the group would try to gleam as much as they could from the Administrator whilst trying to win his support in aiding their future encounters with the Ascenion. With the promise that Lien would talk with the Mydiao, Odin, he granted the Rebels a chance to see first hand, the technology and weapons of the Falucian. Led to the armoury, the Rebels were greeted by Falucian martial arts experts who performed a display of their combat techniques.
Eventually the Rebels would witness the sudden arrival of Ramsuai, appearing from nothing in front of them and then performing a series of duels where they would utilise their Antkanai and periodically disappear during the combat. This feat of cloaking left the Rebels surprised and astonished. As the duels came to a halt having seen a host of weapons used by the Ramsuai, the group was lead to the courtyard, where they would over see thousands of armoured Ramsuai, adorned in bright gold armour. Whilst there they'd watch as Falucian Interceptors performed amazing feats of flying above head, of the likes conventional technology has never before been able to achieve. Joined by two capital ships, the gaggle of vessels would disappear before their eyes like the Ramsuai earlier before finally revealing themselves.
====Realisation====
With this sudden news becoming revealed, and certain they were in a trap, the Rebels decided upon splitting up. Trying to maintain good relations with Lien, Lex along with Meevi, Exao and Kaje would remain at the estate whilst Kileo, Erisey, Raedan and Sava made their way back to the Bulkyare to see if they could find any other evidence of what may have happened in the Expanse.
At the estate, Lien was nowhere to be seen, however at the granting of Master Lii, the Rebel operatives were allowed to spar with the Ramsuai in a non-combat martial art form. Though finding the technique rigorous, it provides more insight into the Falucian culture. Meanwhile unable to find anything of worth, it is decided that Kileo, Raedan and Erisey would try to gather more intelligence from the city of Otoyko, hopefully finding a way to understand the Falucian technology. Contacting those at the estate, Kaje-James and Exao would agree to meet with them at Otoyko.
Reconvening in the city, they were joined by a guide personally picked by Lien. Making their way into the Shiva District, the group would stop at an electronics market. Bartering and eventually trading for goods, they would manage to acquire Falucian Tech. However whilst there, they would watch as Ramsuai chase a small boy through the area. Unable to sit by and watch, compelled to do something, Raedan Kitani would offer to pay for their child's crime of stealing. Marshalled away, Raedan would unknowingly become the adoptive parent of the child. Needing to pull back to go over the technology they had recovered, Kaje-James, Exao and Lex make their way back to the estate as Kileo, Erisey, Raedan and the young child, Yoshi head to the Bulkyare.
After investigating the main functions of the devices she had required, Kileo decided to attach Basic only Tech to it. Initially there was some degree of difficulty in getting the two techs to be compatible. Eventually she along with Erisey managed to get past the OS of the VisiFon using their own understanding of Basic Technology. Noticing the difference in conventional technology that use Binary, and the Falucian programming using a system of symbols, with Raedan's assistance they manage to map out the basic principles of the Falucian Tech.
After re-writing their own devices to understand the newly acquired Falucian Tech, after some trial and error the three programmers eventually managed to successfully bond Rebel tech to Falucian, further allowing more understanding of the Falucian Visi tech. Whilst playing with the device Kileo inadvertently contacts Kaje at the estate on his armband. The two managing a small chatter comm.
With more hours passing, finally Kileo manages to successfully uplink to the Falucian VisiCom and was astounded at the breadth of choice available, easily this rivals Corellia for the amount of choice, and could take over Coruscant if Falucio had more cultures on it's planet. Finally the Rebels had a direction to pursue.
====Lies and Deceit====
Having heard of Kileo's success, Lex along with Kaje-James, Exao and Meevi decide to try and see Lien. Unable to find him, they instead are granted the chance to visit him at Otoyko. Leaving with Master Lii, they quickly make their way over. Kileo and Sava meanwhile begin further investigating the Falucian Net technology, able to find out further details regarding Leia and Rhyley's trial.
At the High Temple, Kaje-James and Exao would meet with the Administrator Lien. Again they would theorise over what may have happened in the expanse, however come to an impasse. Rhelex and Meevi meanwhile make their way into the High Temple, under the watch of the Ramsuai. As Lien gives further insight into the set-up of the Falucian Feudal system to Kaje and Exao, he hints at a possible plot made by Nobunagan Tikimatsu that may lie in him trying to supplant the Mydiao Odin. However as Lex and Meevi make their way through the hallowed halls of the Temple, they get lucky in losing their observers and make their way deeper into the Temple before coming to a room. Striding in, the Nobunagan inside would raise the alarm quickly as the Ramsuai descend on Lex and Meevi.
Now under arrest, Lex and Meevi are led off. Journeying back to his office, Lien would stop the Ramsuai from going further, instead taking the punishment of Lex and Meevi himself, knowing it to be far less a punishment should he take it than the Mandalorians. Motioned outside, the Rebels would watch as Lien receives fifty lashes of an energy whip, on his bare back. Unflinching and not showing any sign of weakness, Lien takes the punishment before being allowed to re-enter the Temple.
====Smoke and Tears====
Reconvening at the Bulkyare the unit set to work on figuring their next plan of approach. As Kaje delivered his findings to Erisey, it was hoped that they might find out just who it was that was in the system with them, when the Tantive V supposedly fired at the Drahgoon vessels. Tasked with trying to gather more Intel from Lien and his Allies, Kaje begins contacting Master Lii.
Meanwhile the other members of the unit focus on preparing for their rescue attempt, believing in the data they have collected so far, they begin looking for information on the elusive Antkanai weapon used by the Ramsuai. With little to go with their search seems to hit a dead end as the Privateer Ryac Brightlite contacts the ship. Informing them as to the reasons he was in the sector, his assistance is turned away by Erisey Casoona-Kitani based her own difficult altercations with the Mercenary.
As Lii aids both Kaje and eventually Raedan in their search of the missing ship, their search comes to an abrupt end when the Bulkyare loses contact with the Lien Estate. Fearing fowl play and with Lien among the only allies the Rebels have in this sector, Erisey decides to send a strike team to recon and investigate. Compromising of the heavily armoured Mandalorians Rhelex Jubulii and Bai'yle Norssohn, the group includes soldier Sava Stary, Slicers Raedan Kitani and Exao Gunn as well as pilot Kaje-James Reilloc.
Approaching the estate the group would see a silver vessel take off before arriving at the location. With smoke rising out of the estate, they hesitantly make their way in deeper into the compound. With the Ramsuai cloaking technology their fears are raised that they are walking directly into a trap. Pushing further into the estate they congregate in the central room having encountered no one thus far. Yet turning to scour the rest of the area, the cloaked Ramsuai launch their attack. Using the stealth technology that the Rebels have thus far only seen from afar, the two forces are embroiled in a deadly battle.
As they slowly make their way back out, the level of malevolence shown by the Ramsuai in their onslaught dwindles the spirit of the Rebels, with Kaje-James Reilloc losing his left hand in a devastating charge, the unit barely manage to force their way to the entrance, finding the dead Master Lii on their way through. With Kaje kneeling down to recover the item Lii is holding, Rhelex finally makes the last push to the exit as the ferocity of the Ramsuai assault increases. Once outside, Stary sends charged thermal detonators into the compound to slow the Ramsuai advance, exploding they decimate the entrance corridor as Bai'yle Norssohn and Raedan Kitani, hot-wire a Falucian Interceptor, and manage to take off and cloak heading to the rendezvous with the Rebel Gunship Bulkyare.
====Lost Friends====
Reconvening in the open plains of Falucio's southern hemisphere, the two ships land side by side as Kaje-James is rushed into the med-bay aboard the Bulkyare. As Sava and the Medical Droids attend him to, the remainder of the task force relay their circumstances to Erisey and Kileo. With Lii's datapad in hand it becomes apparent that the ship that launched the attack in the Expanse matches the read outs of a similar vessel on Falucio, this ship belonging to the personal fleet of Nobunagan Tikimatsu.
With no sign of Lien or a way to handle this new information, those in the Task Force see to their injuries and comrades before rechecking on the weapons they had recovered, the Antkanai. As Erisey thinks over their next move, Kileo manages to further decrypt Lii's datapad. A single small transmission highlighted as 'Lien' is found at the time of the supposed attack on the estate, hoping their ally is still alive, Norssohn and Raedan are directed to prepare the Falucian vessel, designated 'Whisper' for it's next voyage, and a possible interception with Administrator Lien.
After returning to the Gunship, Bai worked on the newly acquired Falucian vessel, as Rae debriefed Eri and gave insight to what happened. Meanwhile Kaje went to Med-bay and was seen to by the droids and Sava, his arm being salvaged and placed in a Bacta Pod, deciding to wait until they have returned to the Alliance Fleet before undergoing surgery. Lex and Meevi meanwhile kept a perimeter around the two ships in case any more Ramsuai followed. All the while Exao and Kileo made the Gunship prepared for it's next flight as Zalena served caffe.
With Erisey and Raedan working on decrypting the datapad, they soon discovered that Lii had managed to uncover the hidden ship that caused the Rebels so much trouble in the Expanse. Centralising it's location to the Delta Sector, they had finally some evidence regarding whoever had launched the under handed attack on the Ascenion. Further decrypting also provided a secret set of coordinates, indicating Administrator Lien wasn't far away from their ship.
As Bai finished working on the Falucian Cloud Skipper, codenamed, 'Whisper', the mechanic returned to Erisey and Raedan with a damning review on the technology that had been recovered. Informing the pair the vessel they had recovered could not do space flight; he then proceeded to demonstrate how Falucian weapons were inferior. Directing Rae to ignite his Antkanai and hold it out, Bai charged up his blaster to full capacity, and fired a shot at the blade. The blade fizzed upon receiving the blow, overloading before blinking out, where it remained unusable for a short period of time. Having also been unable to unlock the secrets of the stealth technology for the weapons, Bai'yle gave a bleak view of Falucian Tech.
With that detail in hand, Nicey insisted they should just chance an attack on Alkain against the Ascenion. Stating they have been using Intel based on Falucian Tech, and that this Tech is nothing in comparison to their own technology or capabilities. He gave further insight into the reason the Falucian have thus far been unable to destroy the Ascenion citing due too the fact in his observation the Falucian do not have the right capability. This however was largely ignored. Raedan stating his belief that the Falucian Tech will be important, as the Ascenion tech renders projectile fire useless. Yet Bai's counter argument is that they found Ramsuai projectile weaponry terribly weak themselves, with the two men debating from different perspectives, Erisey finally gave her order.
====Ruin====
Deciding they couldn't risk an attack on Alkain due to the fact the Ascenion have both Stargazer and Leia Organa, she decides instead to contact the only known ally they have remaining on Falucio. Administrator Lien. Hoping the coordinates will help them find the Falucian; they decide to use the cloud skipper, to make its way south to the coordinates. Arriving there they find a series of temple ruins, however no one appears to be there. Investigating the location further, their vessel suddenly lifts off and flies away. Out of comm. range of the Bulkyare and a great distance from any civilisation, they decide to further investigate the area. Eventually they find a small bunker, where upon Administrator Lien and his Ramsuai finally reveal themselves to the Rebels.
Once safely inside the Administrator stated that Tikimatsu had thrown a coup, taken Otoyko, and killed the Mydiao Odin. He also goes on to state that Tikimatsu knew that Lien had details that the feared Nobunagan himself tried to reinitiate the battles with the Ascenion due to the fact it was his ship that was the hidden vessel in the Expanse, when the Rebels encountered the Ascenion. Going on, Lien stated that Tikimatsu was too strong for anyone on Falucio now and that his own meagre force had been decimated by the Nobunagan, who even if had enemies, those enemies would be unwilling to launch a counter strike.
The Administrator then pleaded for the honour of helping the Rebels recover Organa and Stargazer, stressing he could provide one ship with full flight and cloak capability plus twenty of his own trusted Ramsuai, to help in this endeavour. After a lot of further insights, Erisey accepted his offer. Leaving before Tikimatsu could send his forces out to stop them, the Rebels with Lien reconvened at the Gunship, before the two vessels lifted off and headed to the expanse, where after docking they wait to make their next move.
====Domain of Evil====
Deciding to utilise the cloaking abilities of the Falucian ship to land on Alkain, Bai'yle Norssohn was left on the Rebel Gunship Bulkyare, as everyone joined Erisey Casoona-Kitani in assaulting the Alkain Prison, known as Tracalix. Once aboard the Lien Small Cruiser, the ship donned it's cloaking device and made the journey to Alkain. Bypassing the Alkainian Fleet in orbit, they were able to make it all the way down to the Northern peninsular of the Ice Plains of northern Alkain. Landing a click away from the dreaded prison, the group readied their forces. With Lien and ten Ramsuai remaining with the ship during the conflict, Erisey leads a group compromising nearly everyone part of SGC along with ten Ramsuai and the civilians Meevi Tracyn and Zalena Tone.
Crossing the plains towards the fortitude of Tracalix was difficult, however the clear weather conditions aided their progress. Sending Exao Gunn to scout on the location, he would relay a damning insight into the location, with hundreds of guards and beasts ascended; he had little hope of a successful assault. Looking to utilise the Ramsuai's unique capabilities to take the compound by surprise, the sudden explosion within one of the central bio-dome gave the Rebels the chance they needed. Utilising the diversion they would soon come to realise that Princess Leia Organa and their commanding officer Rhyley Stargazer were initiating a breakout.
Joining with Stargazer, along with the human prisoners that were aiding Stargazer, the two forces managed to quickly overturn their deficit against the Ascenions. Finally quelling their aggressors, Lien would report that mass heat signals were now incoming. Expecting a second wave of attacks, Stargazer and Organa bid farewell to Relic, the man that had enabled the two to aid in their escape, before leaving with the Rebels and making their way to Lien. Upon arriving back at Lien's Cruiser, an Ascenion Assault Force had taken over the site, killing Lien and his Ramsuai in the process. Mounting their last desperate assault against the Ascenion, the Rebels finally make it back to the cruiser, and get away from the location.
Regrouping near the Dakmir Asteroid Belt, the Tantive V and Bulkyare bid farewell to the Ramsuai who return in the Cruiser to Falucio. Making preparations to return to the Fleet at Sullust, Organa sends communications to Command as Stargazer sends the Bulkyare further into the Outer Rim. Upon investigation they would come across a terrestrial planet, with a breathable atmosphere. Deciding to send a probe to investigate further, they return to Tilk's Rock and deliver their findings to Organa. With further directives from Alliance Command, the two ships travel to the new world to investigate further.
===The Unknown Planet===
Still receiving information regarding the planet from the landed probe, the two ships wait in orbit as they send more probes down to the ground. As further data comes back signalling the possibility of sustaining life there Kileo Dimoh, Raedan Kitani and Erisey Casoona-Kitani highlight one such area as being the ideal location to set up a base of operations. Delivering their report to Organa, she later orders Stargazer and his unit to land, and scout the area.
Landing at the location of the downed pod of the probe droid, the unit scout their new surroundings before investigating the pod. With no problems evident at the pod, the unit would soon learn that the probe droid they were tracking had stopped transmitting it's signal. With no other choice that to investigate, members of the unit head into the dense forests in search of the probe droid, heading towards it's last known position. Travelling over two clicks to find the location, they would see the probe droid completely powered down.
With the sun setting, they make camp in the mountains, recovering the data from the dead probe droid before spending the night chatting, telling stories and playing sabacc around the camp fire. As members retreated to their sleep sacks for the night, Raedan Kitani and Rhelex Jubulii would take first watch over the camp. Hours pass before Rhelex wakes Rhyley Stargazer for his watch. As the three men converse a group of six small furry creatures make their way into the camp. 
Not expecting any aggression, Raedan goes to stroke one of the creatures, where he is seized upon by the small animals. Frantically Raedan tries to get them off, screaming for aid from the laughing Stargazer and Jubulii, who see no foul to the small furrballs play, however little did they know the animals were trying to drain Raedan's power supply. With Raedan finally realising what the animals were up to, he would manage to throw and kick the creatures off, who would then launch their attack on the cybernetic appendages of Stargazer and Jubulii. 
Waking the whole camp up in their ruckus, the six animals manage to drain every blaster in the camp, as well as a large chunk of Raedan's power supply and back up generators. Not only that, but all their comm. devices and datapads had been absorbed of all power stores. Effectively they were cut off from all communications with their ship, however Meevi Tracyn manages to catch one of the small balls of fluff before the other five escape.
Left with only a few items still with any charge, and Raedan's power supply down to twenty percent, the group utilises a torch to re-power Kaje-James' Bacta Pod, while they hook up a comm. to Raedan in the hope he may be able to boost a signal to the gunship. With no response coming from the Gunship, their hopes fade as Cayla Dunestrider comes over the hill. Handing over her own comm., she begins communicating with the trapped animal as Kileo directs Bai'yle Norssohn in the gunship towards Exao Gunn and Kaje-James Reilloc who had found an area for the gunship to land. With Norssohn on his way, Meevi and Exao carry Raedan to the landing spot as Cayla allows the animal to go free on the promise it would leave them alone.
====Change====
Back on board the gunship, Stargazer announces the changes by command to the unit. With Raedan and wife Erisey now moving to Alliance Intelligence along with Kileo Dimoh, it would also be known that Exao Gunn would be re-assigned to the newly formed unit, Chasdy's Commandos. Taking their time in orbit, the group socialise before the Mon Cal Cruiser, Home One exits hyperspace above the planet, now known as Arbra along with the rest of the Sullust-based Fleet. Landing in the hangar of the capital ship, the group disperse and head to their own rooms.
Having been granted their own leisure time, most of the unit retreat into undertaking their own preferred recreational activity, some visiting family, others undergoing medical treatment or training ops. It would not be long however till the unit was requested to move down to the planet Arbra, freeing up needed space on the Mon Cal Cruiser, Home One. Landing at Outpost Omega, the unit would settle in quickly at the communal barracks before again utilising their free time as they saw fit, some opting to enjoy the local area or discover their new surroundings. Sava Stary would under take a war game training situation with some of the members whilst Rhyley Stargazer would be busily preparing the changes he wanted to install following the re-assignment of so many of the unit's members.
Yet their stay would quickly be interrupted, with Kileo Dimoh, Raedan Kitani along with Stargazer being called into a meeting with Romas Navander, where upon they would hear of plan to use the Black Sun SpyNet in order to locate Rebel Captain, Han Solo. Having heard the plan and being handed Rebel Intel of the Crime Organisation, the sudden news that Princess Leia Organa along with Lando Calrissian had left for Coruscant would see both Dimoh and Kitani placed on active duty immediately and sent to the cruiser, Defiance. With both quickly preparing to depart, Command would also send out orders for Exao Gunn to rendezvous with Baydo Chasdy aboard the cruiser, Independence. With their unit being severed, the group would bid their sad farewells to their former unit comrades.
====The Things We Do====
Returning to the mess hall, Stargazer, Tracyn and Stary would find Kaje-James Reilloc drinking heavily inside. With Meevi having indicated that Kaje seemed to break down when he looked at the Black Sun data the Alliance had managed to acquire, Stargazer questions Kaje regarding the datapad he received from Navander. Learning of how a female dancer on the list, Taia Vassic was a former acquaintance of Reilloc's, they would soon hear just how much the woman actually meant to the usual buoyant pilot, having rescued her previously from Black Sun thugs before falling in love with the woman. With Kaje hoping to go to Coruscant to find his former lover, those gathered decide to aid Kaje, and prepare for their imminent departure of Arbra, heading to Home One, before exiting the system aboard the freighter, Rogue Star.
Meanwhile, Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani following their arrival on the Mon Calamari Cruiser, Defiance, would immediately be briefed by their new commanding officer, Romas Navander. Giving them the details regarding Princess Leia's plan to utilise the Black Sun in order to find Captain Solo, Navander tasks Dimoh and Kitani with intercepting Organa and those expected to be travelling with her. Assigned false identity packages as well as the Y-Wing Starfighter, Spooky Chuckle, the two Rebel Intel Agents worked on a way to catch up with Organa and Calrissian on Coruscant. Learning of a space lane called the Coruscant Slip, Kitani contacted Bai'yle Norssohn and later Gern Stargazer in order to procure the whereabouts of the pirate space route. Taking with them what they needed, they would head towards Corel Space in the Y-Wing, in order to intercept the flight paths sent by Gern Stargazer.
Having met with Baydo Chasdy, Exao Gunn would acquaint himself with the members of his new unit. Following a briefing aboard the cruiser, Independence, Chasdy would give his team time to acclimatise themselves with their new surroundings before their vessel left Arbra Space for Filve.
Arriving on Coruscant, Stargazer, Reilloc, Stary and Tracyn would start to search for the whereabouts of Taia Vassic.
===Shadows of the Suns===
Landing in in the lower districts under the assumed alias of Captain Randy Egotiste aboard the commercial freighter Uwanabuya, Stargazer along with Stary, Tracyn and Kaje-James knew it would be difficult to move around on the upper levels due to the increased Imperial presence there, and so decide to keep a low profile, visiting some of the known cantinas that the Black Sun were thought to frequent, only to find them void of any Sun contact. After days with no leads towards Taia Vassic and with few options remaining, the group manage to acquire false identity cards from a dreg known as Golith Lorr, a slicer. Paying over the odds for the IDs, the group tentatively make their way up to the Uscru District, having heard of the famed Citadel Casino a known Black Sun venue.
====Up to the Elbows in Poodoo====
After locating the impressive Casino, the group formulate a plan to infiltrate the location. With Kaje-James paying his way in, Stargazer and Stary would assume the identities of known bounty hunters whilst Meevi himself would try to infiltrate through the sewers. Utilising their new personas, Stary and Stargazer easily fool the attending guards who allow the two men to enter via the side entrance, assuming that the two are the bounty hunters they are portraying and on an invitational visit. Kaje-James after acquiring clothing that would allow him to enter the Citadel, would pay handsomely to enter the club, once inside the pilot would quickly set about mingling with those inside as he would try to find information on Taia Vassic. 
Meevi however would have a difficult approach. Finding the access to the sewers guarded, he would launch a surprise attack on the two stormtroopers patrolling there. Managing to swiftly kill one, his delay in killing the other would raise the alarm and put the Empire on high alert. Finally able to kill the remaining trooper, he would be forced to use an EMP Grenade to bypass the security on the hatch for the sewers. Now broken open, he manages to get inside the sewer tubes and make his way towards the Citadel, with arriving Imperial Stormtroopers on an intercept course.
Inside the Citadel, Stary and Stargazer would witness the entrance of Guri, Prince Xizor's trusted lieutenant. Keeping to the shadows to try and maintain their veiled appearance, both men would keep tabs on Kaje as he made his way about the casino, gathering Intel. Meanwhile Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani would finally arrive on Coruscant. Opting to get straight to work rather than meeting the Alliance contact on the planet, they would find a Black Sun Club in the northern sector of Black District. Entering the club, Platinex, the pair would assume their aliases as they would come into contact with some of despot dregs that haunted the location. Able to learn of the Citadel, the pair would quickly leave and make their way to the Uscru District.
Witnessing Guri and IG-88 hold converse, Stary would soon grow impatient with the progress made on finding Taia Vassic, hoping to aid Kaje in his search, Stary makes his way to the bar, however his movement would alert the female Black Sun operative. Taking a closer look to investigate the strange mannerisms of the supposed 'Dengar', Guri would soon realise that the man posing as the Corellian Bounty Hunter was not actually Dengar. Questioning him, Rhyley decides to pull Kaje out so that they can begin their retreat. Able to learn that Vassic had been sent to Nar Shaddaa, Kaje-James quickly pulls out with Stargazer watching Stary's back. Suddenly however the room would quickly fill with Black Sun guards. Taking a concealed thermal detonator, Rhyley would throw the small device and watch it explode as it hit the wall, sending the Citadel into a panic, with the civilians inside the casino fleeing, and buying enough time for Stary to get some distance from Guri.
Still making his way through the sewers, the Imperial Stormtroopers giving chase on Meevi, would soon disappear. Hoping to use this time to get closer to the Citadel, the sewerage waste levels would violently rise, slowing him down. Now being forced to swim to the location, the quick ascent of the waste would see Meevi take an earlier exit. Coming out in the Uscru District still some way from the Citadel covered in urine, faeces, and other waste, Meevi would quickly enter a Medical Centre, and causes a self injury to get medical attention from the droids inside in order to clean himself, however the arrival of a Stormtrooper sent to investigate the illegal access of the sewer hatch in the vicinity would put a stop to Meevi cleaning himself. Now embroiled in a blaster duel inside the Medical Centre, Meevi would quickly put down the trooper, before utilising the trooper's armour and bike, and speeding off towards the Citadel.
Seeing IG-88 about to make his move, Stary manages to send a explosive charge through the air, impacting on the pillars close to the assassin droid before exploding, rupturing the pillar and causing the rubble to fall onto the droid. Stargazer would take aim at the female assassin Guri, however his placed shots were easily avoided as she launches her savage attack on Stary. With the Black Sun guards quickly descending on the Citadel, Stary would direct his own fire on Guri, though with the blaster fire only able to slow her down he would soon find himself quickly overwhelmed by the female assassin bot. Stargazer however would try all he could to put down the arriving Black Sun guards that were rushing in the main foyer entrance, though his progress would be seriously slowed as IG-88 finally entered the fight. Leaping, the droid lands alongside Rhyley, picking the Corellian Pilot up, before tossing him across the foyer like a rag doll. Crashing into the wall and dropping to his knees, Rhyley would peer next to him and see Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani having arrived.
Joining the attack on IG-88, Raedan's Ion Blaster would destroy the assassin droid's main weapon causing him to change his approach. Meanwhile Guri would have her hands on Stary, and begin pummelling into him, before coiling her body around his and leaping up sending him crashing into the ceiling, and then the floor. About to deliver the deathblow, Rhyley would charge Guri and throw himself at her, breaking the fembot's grip on Stary and allowing the Naboo Commando to crawl away. Guri however would quickly respond, grabbing Rhyley in a chokehold, Raedan's Ion shots would force her to drop her prey and quickly leave. IG-88 however would capture Kileo, and use her as a shield from any fire from her Rebel comrades. Deciding to kill the Female slicer, the assassin droid would throw Dimoh at the floor, only to see her stop in mid air and descend slowly thanks to the efforts of Rhyley Stargazer. This would give Raedan, Sava and the arriving Meevi enough time to send all their fire power at the assassin droid, who would crash against the wall due to the barrage of blaster fire and drop to the floor, wall and debris crumbling over him and burying the droid underneath.
====Killer Droids and Critters====
Fleeing the Citadel, the group make their way to the turbolifts in order to get away from the district. Descending to the lower levels, their lift would suddenly stop. Knowing it likely that he Black Sun were the cause, Rhyley would shed his armoured disguise and climb up onto the roof of the lift, followed by Meevi. Peering up, the sudden descent of the parallel lift would heighten their worry. With Meevi, Kileo, and Sava taking aim and firing on the other turbolift, crippling it's descent, Rhyley would leap out onto the ridge. Slipping upon his landing, Rhyley would plummet one floor, before managing to grab hold of something to stop him falling to a grisly death. Pulling himself up onto a platform, Meevi would fire his grappling hook to land alongside Stargazer. Tying the line at both ends, Tracyn is easily able to descend to Rhyley's new position. With Stary, Kileo and Raedan slowly following, the group would enter an air duct, in the hope of escaping the Black Sun.
Sliding down the duct, the group would finally land in a dank room surrounded by crates. Accessing the nearby terminal, Kileo would ascertain that they had entered the Antipodes as Meevi would recover Republic blasters from the crates. Making their way in, the group would face off against feral droids, criminals and savage creatures as they tried to find a turbolift to take them back to their location. With both Stary and Meevi suffering from violent bouts of sickness, the nearing exhaustive heat would make their progress all the more difficult. Learning of details regarding the making of illegal droids, they would soon learn the foundry they had found themselves was the birthplace of Guri. Wary of finding any more of these types of droids, they would eventually locate the main section of the foundry, and access the terminal were able to power up the turbolifts as well as recover Intel regarding the Black Sun.
On the ascent up from foundry, their lift would suddenly slow, before coming to a halt. With alarms ringing, the group would tentatively make their way out before a bounty hunter would try to capture them. In the ensuing blaster fight, the armoured hunter was put down, allowing the group to make their last trek through the Feral City before locating a shuttle. Taking the controls, Stargazer would fly the group to CoCo Town and hopefully to safety. With no word at the shuttleport of their actions or being wanted by the Imperials or Coruscanti Security Force for their recent actions, Kileo would learn of a distress call from Dash Rendar's droid on her comm. Able to learn that Rendar was in need of escaping with Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Lando Calrissian and the Wookiee Chewbacca, Stargazer, Dimoh, Stary and Tracyn would make their way back to the Rogue Star, with Raedan and Kaje making their way to the Spooky Chuckle.
====Enter the Empire====
Entering the atmosphere, the erratic flying of both Stargazer and Reilloc would keep them alive as they weaved their way through the traffic of Coruscant heading towards the coordinates sent by Rendar's droid. Closing in on the location, the two pilots would see two Corellian Freighters under chase by small fighters, frigates and the vessel, Virago, the personal ship of Prince Xizor as well as the Falleen's Fist, the Black Sun Skyhook Platform. With the Virago landing on the skyhook, Rogue Star and Spooky Chuckle would arrive just as the X-Wing sqaudron, Rogue Squadron arrived to help Skywalker and Rendar retreat. Though the ships of the Alliance, and it's pilots were far better skilled than those belonging to the Black Sun, the sheer overwhelming numbers of the Black Sun saw Xizor's flotilla quickly gain the advantage. Losing X-Wings in the fight, the group had all but given up hope of retreat, yet refused to surrender to Xizor. 
The emergence of Imperial Forces, lead by the Super Star Dreadnaught, Executor dropped the morale of the Rebels, however as dozens of TIE Squadron's descended on their location, the Imperial Navy began a devastating attack on the Black Sun. Watching the Empire fight Xizor would shock all the Rebels, before the Executor opened its power beam cannon on the Skyhook, and destroyed the Falleen's Fist. Using it as their chance to escape, Stargazer would follow Rendar into the wreckage before witnessing the Outrider, Dash Rendar's personal ship explode, and then managing to fully retreat along with the Millennium Falcon and the Rogue Squadron, entering hyperspace for Arbra.
===The Cost of Fighting===
Back on Arbra, the Rebels would regroup before finding out that Alliance Intelligence had learned of Xizor's death aboard the Skyhook. Stary and Meevi would make their way to the Medical Centre, where both would learn that they had contracted Gliphoid, Meevi in the early stages which was quickly remedied, however Stary's condition would need observing whilst under going treatment. Kaje-James Reilloc however would remain in the medical facility, aiding those in healing both Tracyn and Stary along with the other injuries sustained to Alliance Personnel. Skywalker along with Organa and Antilles, as well as Dimoh and Stargazer would deliver their reports to their senior personnel.
Able to finally take stock of their situation, it soon becomes apparent that the Battle of Filve has taken a sudden turn for the worse, reports filtering through that the Empire had delivered crippling blows to the Rebel Forces on the Planet. Receiving a comm. message from Major Derlin, Stargazer reads that Exao Gunn had been killed in combat. Unsure what to believe the Corellian Pilot rushes off to confer with his senior officers what Command would do about the situation. 
Romas Navander meanwhile calls in Intel Operatives Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani for an emergency operation in the Duflivion Sector. Tasked with gaining Intel as to the current situation on Filve, the two Intel Agents quickly gather their kits before leaving the planet on their ship, Spooky Chuckle. Landing at Ando Prime, the pair under the disguises of Tourists begin working to unravel any possible news from Filve.
Meeting enigmatic smuggler Stimpy and his co-pilot Ren, Kileo learns of an Imperial Fleet gathered at Ord Trasi. Having recovered nothing from their long range scans or through local net sources, the pair eventually manage to get in touch with Tyden Loiure, an Alliance Pilot that had been stationed at Filve. With Tyden giving the information regarding what had happened on Filve, the pair risks a flight to the space sector.
Quickly scanning the zone the ship picks up details of a cargo vessel belonging to a company based at Corulag. Hoping that this might be a good way to infiltrate the planet, the pair aboard their ship quickly makes off for Arbra to deliver their findings. 
With General Madine and Major Wynonyms confirming that Stargazer's Commandos would be the unit that was sent back to Filve in order to begin the retreat of the majority of it's forces trapped there, Stargazer finally enlists Cayla Dunestrider into their number. With Rhelex Jubulii and Bai'yle Norssohn returning from Talus and bringing with them Iota Dhegon, their comrades Meevi Tracyn and Sava Stary having fully recovered from their ailment and KJ having finished his stay with Alliance Medical Staff, the delivery of Intel from Kileo and Raedan finally sets the group in motion.
===Massacre at Filve===
Having been given their orders by Majors Bren Derlin and Taei Wynonyms, Stargazer's Commandos would be faced with discovering a way of travelling to Filve. Using the information recovered by both Raedan and Kileo on Ord Trasi, the group travel to the planet of Corulag, where they discover the location of an Imperial outpost and, with some negotiation by Stargazer, Dimoh and Stary, the group can successfully infiltrate the base and take a shuttle for themselves, this allows then to travel out of the system, rendezvousing with the rest of the unit on board the Flash Point, before making their way to the planet of Filve. Once in the system, they are contacted by ISSD Executor, who give the shuttle co-ordinates at which to land. Ignoring the co-ordinates, the group set down in the mountains in the northern hemisphere of Filve and begin to search the planet.
====Exploration====
Whilst the unit move to find a place of shelter, Mandalorians Rhelex and Iota scout ahead, discovering an outpost to the north-west of their landing zone. However, during their scouting, the pair are discovered by a scout and stormtroopers are sent out after them. Regrouping with the rest of the unit, Stargazer's Commandos set up an ambush for the patrol, successfully taking them out and covering up their tracks before moving to a cave further into the mountains in which they can set up a base. Things take another turn for the worst when the comm spike used by the unit is broken, limiting communications to only a few kilometres. Despite the setback, Raedan, Meevi and Sava take a trip to the city off Skyross to try and seek out a Rebel contact. They are successful as they meet one, Alk Logan, a Rebel Sergeant who was a combatant during the Battle of Filve. The group leave with the knowledge that there are resistance members in the city, heading back to the city.
====Contacting the Resistance====
The next day, the unit makes their way to the city, successfully passing border patrols and entering the city. However, they soon discover that the resistance has been uncovered and Logan is executed in front of their eyes. Cayla manges to obtain the identity of another resistance member in the city before Logan is shot. With this new description, the group begin their search. Meanwhile, Raedan has managed to slice into the Imperial network for the city, downloading the co-ordinates of two possible locations, using this knowledge, both Raedan and Kaje make their way to one of the locations to see what information they can obtain. Rhelex and Iota have managed to find the man matching the description, he is in the medical centre and is badly wounded. Having tried to question the man, they get nowhere and are forced to leave the medical centre. Seeking to retry, Cayla visits the medical centre to speak to the patient, she is successfull in persuading the elderly part with the details of a resistance member in the city of Terran. Raedan and Kaje assault the base they have the co-ordinates for and are able to obtain the location of a slaving camp that has been used by the Empire and Dead Hand to transport captured Rebels off-world, they call for the unit to regroup before planning an assault of the base.
====Return of the Jedi====
Having gathered near the base, the unit begin their assault, managing to take out the slavers and free prisoners that were due to be shipped out into slavery. Alerted by the fighting, Rebel presumed dead, Exao Gunn approaches the base cautiously, after a short confrontation with Meevi and Iota, he is recognised by Cayla and Gunn is returned to Stargazer's Commandos along with the only other known survivor of Chasdy's Commandos, Lijet. The unit move back to the base with their newly acquirred soldiers and plot their next move.
====Terran====
Deliberating their next move, it is eventually decided that the group should head to Terran to try and discover new resistance members. Meevi and Raedan speak with their contact obtained by Cayla, discovering that Baydo Chasdy is in fact alive and has helped pioneer the resistance on Filve. Good news is, however, met with bad news, as it is also revealed that Rebels Idow and Mimi Tarell were killed in the aftermath of the battle. Dwelling little on the news, the unit get moving, searching for the resistance. They discover that the tensions in the city are running extremely high as relief for the refugees runs increasingly short, they are on the verge of rebellion. Kaje and Sava follow a small group of suspcious looking individuals to a small house in the city, blagging their way in they are confronted by Rebels, who threaten to kill them. However, identifying the pair as Rebel troopers, Chasdy steps forward and prevents them from being killed. Meanwhile, Raedan and Rhelex have managed to acquire a speederbike and Kileo spotting a supply outpost just outside the city. The group return to the cave with resistance leaders in tow, seeking to offer them a safe base of operations.
====Feeding the Resistance====
With the resistance making their home in the cave, the Rebels are faced with another problem: supplies. They opt for attempting to infilitrate the base discovered by Kileo, a base for which the resistance has details. Attacking a patrol, the unit begin to prepare for thei infiltration. However, a last minute change in orders by acting commanding officer Rhelex Jubulli results in the group retreating back to the cave with only a fraction of the supplies that could have been obtained.
Retreating from the base has meant that the option of infiltration of that base is closed off for the unit and they must think of a different method. Raedan suggests attacking a seperate base discovered by the group and the unit move to recon it, Exao, Cayla and Kileo heading inside and discovering a cache of supplies. Reporting back to Chasdy, he sends out a group of resistance fighters to accompany the unit in their assault of the base. Using Raedan's Snowflake program as well as a distraction provided by Exao, diverting many of the troops inside's attention, the unit are able to overwhelm the base and seize the supplies before heading back to the cave.
====Safe Passage====
Having found and aided the resistance as well as disrupting the slaving operations on the planet, Stargazer's Commandos must now find a way of world. Lijet and Chasdy remain behind to assist with the resistance while Gunn accompanies SGC to the city of Skyross, where the unit attempt to infiltrate the starport and hijack a freighter. Through some well excecuted slicing by Raedan, they are able to gain access to a Corellian Corvette held inside the starport. Hijacking the ship, the combined piloting skills of Rhyley and Kaje are more than adequate to allow the Rebels to escape the Imperial fleet, making a series a hyperspace jumps to lose any persuers, they are able to get back to the Rebel fleet around Arbra, their mission a success.
Meeting back with Major Bren Derlin, they are told that Chasdy's Commandos have been dissolved and that Exao will be returning to serve with Stargazer's Commandos once again. They are given time on leave before their next scheduled time on duty, which would be a series of training exercises lead by former-Drill Sergeant, Sava Stary.
===New Allies===
With the unit now signed off to rest before their next mission on Orupia, Exao Gunn and Cayla Dunestrider would return to Talus whilst Rhyley Stargazer would depart on his own for Rhen Var. Remaining behind at the base, Rhelex Jubulii along with Kaje Reilloc, Sava Stary and Bai'yle Norssohn would be called in for a mission to Bothawui. Tasked with helping to preserve the Alliance's worsening relationship with the Bothans, the group are ordered to head for a meeting with Laryn Kre'fey, an Alliance Contact on Bothawui. Boarding Stary's rejuvenated ship, Fiery Dawn. 
Heading to the Bothan homeworld, the group would assume the identities of a freighter transport, and re-christen the ship with codings belonging to the Cheerful Kimoglia. Hoping to secure a landing on the planet, they would end up landing at the galaxy-wide corporation, Explorer INC's main Bothawui HQ. Unable to gain passage to explore Bothawui, Kaje would try to find a way to sneak past the stifling security. Making his way into the toilets, he would come across air ducts large enough for him to crawl through. Further investigating the ducts, would see him make his way to the exterior of the building some eighty stories up from the ground. 
With no way to make his way back into the ducts due to the winds caused, he leaps up in hope of climbing to the levels above and onto the hangar's were their ship lie. Unfortunately however he would slip, and fall, plummeting to the ground whilst two speeders would crash into him, before a third would finally break his fall. Whisked away to the local hospital, the young man was perilously close to death.
Noticing the sudden disappearance of Kaje, Sava decides to investigate. Noticing the broken duct in the toilets, he theorises that Kaje has gone to try and find a way past the security. Calling upon Bai'yle to accompany him, they try to comm Kaje to no avail. Deciding to take the chance of venturing into the ducts in order to find Kaje, they too would find themselves gripped to the exterior of the building. Deciding to hail nearby speeders, Stary would get fortunate as one speeder decided to help them down to the ground from their unfortunate position.
With a firm floor underneath them and still no sign of Kaje, they make their way off to find Laryn Kre'fey. Finding him in Kofor Center, the pair would hear of Kre'fey's disapproval of the Alliance men's tactics for finding him before charging the pair and the rest of their crew with recovery key Bothan Spies that had been detained by Imperial Forces. They would also be challenged to make sure the incident could not be laid to rest at the feet of the Bothans or the Rebels. Eventually Kre'fey would take delight in informing them that their friend Kaje had been recovered by his men, healing in a hospital and fortunate to not be dead.
Leaving the pair would contact Rhelex who had been granted passage to leave the Explorer INC HQ, and rendezvoused at the hospital where Kaje was. Re-grouping, Lex and Sava would see to Kaje who had suffered severe injuries however was stable and in the process of recovering. Able to move him, the group head back to their ship and launch for Gamorr. Landing away from civilisation, Rhelex, Sava and Bai'yle would launch an attack on the base, killing their communications before rescuing the Bothans inside and making the base look like it had suffered some major catastrophe, and setting the place to explode.
Once clear the base would indeed explode as the group made their way back to their ship and lifting off for Arbra.
===Operation Strike Back===
Able to gain crucial allies within Bothawui Space and the Tapani Sector and the timely defection of Imperial commander Zaletta, the Supreme Commander of it's Forces, Admiral Ackbar, has formulated a tactical attack plan to weaken the Empire enough to consider striking a crucial blow to the Imperial War Machine that may yet see the change of a war that sees such overwhelming odds.
This plan called Operation Strike Back, was finally laid into action. With all possible Alliance personnel being called to duty and to report in at Arbra, Rebel Commandos return to an unknown future and the uncertainty of those around them, whether they are friend or foe remains to be seen.
Finally the Rebels were called in for their briefing. Arriving the idealistic crusaders come face to face with some of the most revered figures in the Rebellion. Ackbar, Madine, stood side-by-side as each gave insights into the trials they have come through and the struggles that lay before them.
Operation Strike Back, a series of systematic attacks along the Imperial Trade Line from Arcadia to Kuat made by the beleagured Alliance Fleet in the hope of undermining the Imperial Defence Fleet that protect the Empire's Stronghold at Kuat was unveiled by the Mon Calamari Admiral. Yet what was so important at Kuat? The figure simply known Zaletta would give insight into a possible Imperial Secret Operation undertaken there, the construction and testing of a Gargantuan Sized Reactor.
Then would come Laryn Kre'fey. The involvement of the Bothans in the Alliance was needed their resources and skills as unmatched of any possible ally, yet already strains have shown between the delicate bonds the Rebels now share. Unveiling his Operation Neptor, following four surprise assaults at other locations made by the Alliance Fleet, Ackbar would make his final assault on the system known as Arcadia. Once undertaken, the Bothan General's Fleet would then jump directly to Orupia, and no doubt into an immediate star battle between the Imperial and Alliance Fleets.
Once above the small trade planet, Kre'fey's Fleet will need to wait whilst Ackbar's Fleet destroys the planetary shielding, and hope that Commander Kyle Katarn has dealt with some of the planetary batteries. Then the Bothan General would launch his landing, and Operation Neptor will be under way. If alive Kre'fey's Fleet would land at Ground Zero, before making their preparations to strike at the beaches of Laime, Sienaite and Normaic.
Meanwhile, the Rebels will hope Ackbar's plan has worked, that the Imperial Fleets surrounding Kuat have withdrawn enough numbers to aid dealing the last damning blows to the Alliance Fleet, before realising what Ackbar has undertaken as Wraith Squadron, lead by Dal Konur and including Ace Azzameen, would lead their quick strike upon the Kuat Testing Facility, and undermine whatever the Empire is performing there.
===Doom's Day===
Rendezvousing with the rest of the unit within the walls of Haven Base, the unrest and nervousness is obvious in the faces of those that had gathered. With pack in hand, the young Rebels board the ship, Bulkyare, and leave Arbra as they group with the rest of the Fleet at Sullust. Watching the mass gathering of Alliance ships of all sorts of sizes, the last few checks are carried out on the ship as they await their orders to jump.
Finally it came. Kre'fey initiated his fleet's jump to the Arcadia System, directly into conflict with an Imperial Fleet high above Orupia. With the battle at it's crucial point, Ackbar initiates a tactical stratagem to cripple the Imperial Star Destroyers as Kaje Reilloc, weaves the Bulkyare towards a Rebel Transport swarmed with TIE Fighters as the turret gunners Meevi Tracyn, Weekat Matiren, Raedan Kitani and Cayla Dunestrider do their best to take out Imperial fighters.
With Ackbar's flag ship placed in between two Imperial Star Destroyers, the two vast Imperial capital ships suddenly stop firing from fear of hitting the other Imperial vessel. It is a moment that gives Ackbar his moment to deliver a critical blow to the Imperial ships. The main guns rain fire down upon the two dagger shaped vessels, as explosions rock the grey vessels, before the two explode on sight.
Then the unthinkable happened. With the Bulkyare quelling the numbers of Imperial Fighters swarming the Transport Alderaan, two Imperial Gunboats opened up an array of missiles into the rear of the Alliance Gunship. The explosions rocked the small vessel, immediately dropping their shields critically low, and rupturing the sensors and scanners of the vessel. The Bulkyare was now flying blind.
Peeling away from the combat, a series of tactical manoeuvres kept the ship from breaking apart, but with fires now breaking out across the ship, the men and women inside knew it couldn't take much more. Finally they received the order that the planetary shield was down. Turning about and sending the vessel in a quick descent to the planet's surface, the barrage of fire coming up from the surface of the small world hit the Rebels hard.
With the Deviant Flight leading the way, it's ship's shielding could not take the heat of such weaponry. As each blast sunk into the hull, they soon lost all shielding before the vessel exploding without warning. Nicey was gone. As their own ship took a pounding, diverting as much of the non-critical systems to the shields in the hope of saving them from the same fate as that of the Deviant Flight, the concerns would not fall, as alarms began to ring of the hull becoming ruptured.
Knowing the ship was breaking apart, Rhyley Stargazer began orders to abandon ship. With Sava Stary, Tracyn, Kitani, Dimoh and Dunestrider among the first to bail. Exao Gunn and Matiren would destroy the ship's databases to make certain who ever found the wreckage could not gain any crucial Rebel data, before they two entered an escape pod and began their own descent to the ground.
With Stargazer and Reilloc the only two remaining, the two skilled pilots would set the ship on with a direct collision with a mountain range, before gathering their equipment and leave the ship that had become a home away from home to them for the very last time.
Even then their safety was not guaranteed. Stary and Tracyn were in one pod that had become damaged from the damage the ship had taken. Falling to the ground at an alarming rate, the two men would become critcally wounded in the crash, with both needing urgent medical aid. Meanwhile Gunn and Matiren's pod would become faulty on their landing. Dropping and submerging in a small lake, their door would not open as the pod would slowly fill with water, fortunately the emergency exit would burst the door open, just in time as the pod filled with liquid.
With Dimoh, Dunestrider and Kitani at hand to quickly rescue Stary and Tracyn, the unit would finally re-unite before making their way into coverage in order to keep away from Imperial Operatives. The group would have to trek seven clicks before finally arriving at Ground Zero, where they would see the destruction that has thus far hindered the Alliance in their assault for the first time whilst receiving an important communication from Commander Katarn.
Now they must assault Normaic Beach, and having already given so much in this mission, each man and woman realises that the price of this objective could very well be their very own lives.
===Pain & Suffering===
The trap the Empire had laid worked to perfection. Perhaps it was more dumb luck than tactical intervention that saw the timely arrival of the Royal Alderaanians just in time to prevent them from almost certain death, yet even then they were lucky to retreat with what they had. Regrouping on the Frigate, Redemption, the group lick their wounds and wait patiently for news of their allies when the call finally comes.
With odds that look overwhelming, the group must again call on their bonds of friendship to see through the push against the Imperial Line. If they break it then they can make it to the capital and hope that they can truly win this Battle for Orupia...
If they don't, they'll die.
Eventually they pressed the Imperials down into submission as Stargazer's Commandos against the orders of General Kre'fey took the battle back to the Empire. Arriving at Juno Base, the use of Rogue Squadron to destabilise the Imperial Base proved priceless as the small band of Rebels launched their attacks.
Once the base was finally won and injuries suffered dealt with, Rebel aid began to arrive as Juno Base was fully taken by the Alliance. With Perimeter Shield finally down the Alliance have taken the souther tip of the continent. Now what remains is the long road to Pareen, and hope that Katarn's Intel is right, and this planet is just waiting for a new change of history.
Kre'fey meanwhile is furious that his war efforts have been overshadowed by a few 'loose cannons'. Putting together a way to break up the unit for good, he works from afar at untying the closest bonds our heroes have ever known.
This will be a victory for Bothawui and no one else.
Making their way through the southern tip of the vast continent Cerafe, the unit soon discover their path to Pareen will not be so straight forward as it seemed. With a journey that will take atleast five days on foot before they reach the vast city, the group learn of the wastes that lie ahead and the terrible weather conditions that they will have to endure.
Getting even there however will prove hard. Witnessing strange structures rising up from the ground, their eery presence has a disastrous effect on some of those within the Commando Force. Soon Kileo Dimoh again begins to hear voices that belong to no one near and as the group move on, she falls into a depth of darkness only seen to her alone.
Just what is going on, is anyone's guess...
The snow has has finally begun to fade. The journey from Juno Base to even this far has been difficult, what with the environment, the weather and the odd behaviours exhibited by a few of those within Stargazer's Commandos. Now they are finally reaching the edge of the Wastes, and the weather is starting to break into a warmer environment, the unit must make their first point of call and rendezvous with the Royals, before venturing towards Pareen.
===Cold War===
The Alliance had destroyed the Gargantuan Reactor at Kuat. Whatever the Empire are up to, that was sure to have been a crucial blow, however clips and read outs of the reactor have confirmed the fears that whatever the Empire are up to, it is most certainly of Super Weapon type. Following the retreat from the Front Lines at Orupia, tension within the Alliance are at breaking point. With allies all the too happy to point fingers of blame at their supposed companions, though the Alliance have scored a crucial victory, it does not come without a cost.
Now the Alliance hopes to recover some of the losses that they have sustained in the Opweation Strike Back. Having been in talks for months with the people of Nazrike, the Alliance High Command have decided to try and score a crucial trade agreement with the small Ice Planet. Deciding to send Bothan Diplomat Laveth Fe'lay to the cold world, Stargazer's Commandos, or now perhaps more aptly named Gunner's Commandos are sent as an escort with the Diplomat on what is sure to be nothing more than a baby-sitting mission.
Reconvening in the quiet town of Kystes, Exao Gunn now leader of the unit along with Sava Stary, Kaje Reilloc, Kileo Dimoh, Cayla Dunestrider and Weekat Matiren leave Talus via Stary's YT2400, Fiery Dawn. Making their way to the upper atmosphere, they are hailed by three waiting Imperial Star Destroyers. Adhering to the requests made by the Imperial Capital Ship, after a lengthy exchange, Sava Stary lets slip his identity and confirms the Imperial's suspicions that this ship was a Rebel Ship. Sending two TIE Interceptor Squadrons after the vessel, the untimely arrival of an Imperial Interdictor blocks the Rebel's route of escape. Taking a hammering by the squadrons and now the two incoming Star Destroyers, the ship loses its systems computer with navigation and communications going dead as shields drop to zero. With seemingly no other choice, Stary puts the ship into a blind hyperspace jump hoping that wherever they jump to would be better than here.
Fifty-four hours pass whilst the ship is in hyperspace. With no way of telling where they are going or when they will exit hyperspace, the ship finally lurches from it's jump to show a planet as red as blood. Noticing the Hyper Drive is now defunct, and the Back-up Drive not responding as well as life support failing, Stary puts the ship on an intercept course with the red planet. Managing to touch down after a break in the red mist, the group slowly venture out to see their new surroundings and observe the damage to the ship's exterior. Ascertaining the ship won't be going anywhere without emergency parts, after Cayla manages to see a feint glow in the distance, the group take their packs and lock the ship up before tracking towards the source of the glow.
After a two kilometre sojourn, they eventually find an establishment of sorts. Filled with a peculiar race of blue. green and grey skinned people, their odd dialogue makes any communicating excruciatingly difficulty. Unknown to the group however they face a more worrying concern with their armour's protective plates slowly being eaten by the red mist. Entering what looks like an official building and finding nothing, the group wander into a spice den and meet a man simply known as Gulla.
With the group becoming hampered because of the toxic air, Gulla beckons them to follow him and hands over seeds to Kaje. After watching Gulla eat the seeds and rub his stomach, hoping to open some form of conversation between the two men, Kaje does the same. Swallowing the seeds, their bitter taste eventually leads him to a feeling of adulation, able to breathe the toxic air and now understand the locals dialogue. Passing the seeds on to his ailing companions, the group fully recover from their worrying conditions. However, no sooner after they meet Ewisa, do the group break down, paralysed, crashing to the floor crippled. The last they hear before their eyes close, is how their healthy, young, nubile bodies are to be taken away for 'Transfusion'.
Meanwhile unable to get through the tight security at the Dearic Ports, An-Taei Wynonyms ignores his order by Exao Gunn and decides to leave Dearic through one of the perimeter checks. Stealing an Imperial Speederbike, he makes a break for it with an Imperial Scout Patrol in hot pursuit. Able to lose most of the Patrol, a single Imperial Scout manages to stay with him and shoot him down. With the Scout now closing, Wynonyms with RK-47 Carbine in hand, shoots down the Scout and takes the Imperial Armour and Bike to escape. Venturing into Kystes, disguised as an Imperial Scout, he arrives just as the Fiery Dawn leaves the Starport. Taking refuge in an empty home that he breaks into near Kystes, An-Taei waits a day before venturing to Kystes again in the hopes of booking passage aboard a charter flight to Tralus. Now on the twin world, he sends a comm to the Rebel Fleet at Fortua, before he looks to steal a small ship that can make the journey towards the Rendezvous.
The Tantive V however finally loses patience with waiting for Gunn's Commandos. With no word from the Rebel Unit, Laveth Fe'lay along with the Royal Alderaanians and Ket Celoon leave the Fortua System and head towards Nazrike.
Waking on the cold hard floor, the members of Stargazer's Commandos or more precisely, Gunn's Commandos soon realise the dire situation they are in. Noticing they have been stripped and dressed in clothing that is not their own as well as having heavy collars hanging at their necks, the women find themselves in a cell shared with an unknown female and rebid Durnis. Kaje too finds himself in the sell over, surrounded by the same electrified fencing and sharing the cell with rabid mites, four times the size of normal mites. Elsewhere Sava and Exao each awake to find themselves in confinement and far removed from the others.
Soon things would get worse. The rabid durnis begin to take notice of those that share the cells with them, one such durni so hungry by now attacks Cayla and sinks it's teeth into her calf. Eventually pulled off, the durni inflicts a severe wound on the female before it is thrown into the electrified fencing. Now with Cayla terribly injured, there cells is closed down by an Ubese Guard, who drags the strange unknown female away. Finally able to take control of themselves again, the group hear screams and shrieks before a gigantic roar makes the place shake.
Meanwhile Exao and Sava try their hardest to find a way to escape, realising the explosive ability of the collars they wear, Stary tries to cause enough of an explosion to help him escape, though the collar explosion proves largely ineffective. Exao meanwhile manages to find a few bones that could aid him in forcing open the door to his cell. Applying force on the door to slowly pry it open a few centimetres, alarms sound and vast blast doors seal the area. The men slump to the floor unsure how they're going to get away.
In the basement cells an Ubese guard asks for a volunteer from the female cell. With Cayla's condition worsening, Weekat offers herself in the hope of getting away. Shown to an arena the female must hold her own against a giant Razorcat. Kaje is also forced to the arena, however the young man must face off a huge Acklay. With Kileo at a loss with how to further aid Cayla, merely hoping by being close she makes her more comfortable. Weekat is fortunate to find a knife to help her fight the animal she faces. As the giant cat leaps at her, she squats low enough for the animal to miss and sinks her blade into the beast. When the animal eventually falls, she recovers her weapon as the arena becomes silent.
Kaje stumbles across a dead blaster pistol. Eventually the young man finds a dismembered torso, with a pack attached that he searches whilst the Acklay remains uninterested in him. Finding a small charge pack and key card, Reilloc pockets the key card as he gets the pistol ready. With the Acklay now interested in him, the beast charges at him and Kaje is forced back into a narrow passageway, where the huge creature is unable to reach. Frustrated the monstrous animal charges at the passageway, trying to force the man out though all it does is some structural damage. With Kaje unloading a few shots at the animal, and the old creature becoming tired, the young Rebel tries his luck, coming nearer as the beast backs up for it's killer charge. Taking aim the weapon doesn't respond initially until the creature is ready to pounce upon him. Kaje's shot sinks through the animal's cranium and the large creature falls onto him. Kaje had survived for now.
Having been left alone, an Ubese Guard goes into the cells to check on Exao and Sava. Exao jumps the man however is forced back rather quickly. With Exao pushed back, Sava tries his own luck and is able to force the Ubese to the ground before delivering the killer blow, however this triggers a light to switch on, on his collar. Realising the collar has been rigged to blow, arming himself and gaining a key card, Stary releases Exao which trigger's Gunn's collar in turn, the pair then begin to frantically search for something to free them from the collars. Finding a small droid that looks as if it would fit onto his collar, Sava tries his luck, the droid releases the collar, quick enough for Sava to throw the collar away.
Downstairs Weekat and Kaje are shown back to cells that hold Kileo and Cayla. Told they may keep the weapons they acquired by the Ubese that guards their cell, Weekat informs the others that they must break free quickly or Cayla may not recover from her injuries. Calling over the Ubese Guard, Kaje begins to learn a few of the truths about the facility that holds them. Told that the guard sees those inside the cells as not his enemy, but refuses to aid them, Kaje along with Kileo learn that the guard was a former prisoner who after several wins in the arenas was made a guard, however he still bore the collar that adorned the necks of those in the cells.
With Sava and Gunn making their way down to the lower levels, Stary assaults the Ubese Guard, not knowing he hasn't tried to harm his allies that await in the cells. The Ubese Guard counters Stary, however does not deal any killer blows, merely defending his position and displaying his own finesse with a polearm. Kileo sees their chance, informing Exao to retrieve whatever was needed to remove the collars, Gunn returns with the small portable droid, and the group are finally freed from the collar devices. With Weekat also able to save Cayla's leg thanks to the medical pack acquired by Exao Gunn, Kaje and Kileo talk the Ubese Guard into joining them, able to provide the Ubese man with a way to escape his own collar.
Taking their offer the man gratefully thanks them for their kindness and introduces himself as Boushh. With Weekat aiding Cayla by carrying her, the others take their time to recover meagre arms and armour before eventually reaching the exit of the facility. Outside the red light shines into their eyes and they see that they are on an island surrounded by water filled with waste. The mists aren't there from what they can tell, but something else awaits them.
Meanwhile the Tantive V has arrived at Nazrike. Laveth Fe'lay has met with a few of the Nazrike Officials on the planet. An-Taei Wynonyms has heard from Kyle Katarn of how Gunn and his companions failed to check in with Alliance Command and so An-Taei along with Jan Ors have gone off in search of Gunn's Commandos.
Reaching the exit of the facility, they find themselves stranded on an island surrounded by waste water. Finding a decrepit skiff, they manage to get across the water and onto dry land. Though they are uncertain as to where they are, the odd Gorik Dtinks soon allow them to learn they are not far from the settlement where they were tricked. Finding an abandoned communications tower, Kileo is able to find a possible lead to where their ship was landed when they first arrived on Uba IV. Making their way across the harsh terrain, when they finally arrive at the ship, they encounter a fellow traveller and her own YT-1300.
Seeing the female having begun to strip Sava Stary's YT-2400, the group naturally react angrily until they find out this woman known as Dani, had been sent by Luke Skywalker to help look for them. All be it tentatively, they are grateful for the aid and leaving Sava's ship locked down, head off to Ubertica to drop the Ubese warrior Boushh off. With their mission having already been seriously delayed, frustrations begin to show in the unit. At Ubertica the group meet Boushh's son Sevax, who asks to travel with the Rebel Force.
Accepting his aid, the group finally head to Nazrike, entering through a specifically mapped charter and land on the planet. With the Rebels dropped off, Dani says her good byes before leaving the Rebels to the snowy terrain. Making their way through the forests they come across a Nazriek Patrol, who informs the Nazrike Command that he has found los Rebel Forces. Leading the Rebels to the Nazrike Bunker, they meet the giant Wookiee Rishowlmhroor, the Rebel Technician Ket Celoon, and the Nazrike Legend Rapperport Simonavitch.
Finally they are where they are supposed to be...
Meanwhile An-Taei Wynonyms and Jan Ors eventually find their ways to the Uba System. After hours of scanning they land on Uba IV and find Sava Stary's ship. Seeing it abandoned the two look for signs of the grou but because of the harsh climate are forced off planet. Remaining in orbit they contact command.
Resting up the unit finally begin to heal their tired weary bodies before their duty is enforced upon them again. The arrival of Bothan Diplomat Laveth Fe'lay arrives to finally greet those that were assigned to guard her. Insisting on meeting everyone in the unit she delays her conference with Nazrike General Rapperport Simonavitch in order to inspect the troop. Disappointed with what she hears, the furry female hides it in a shroud of professionalism and eventually enters a conference with the Nazrike Simonavitch.
Whilst the two broker a deal between the Rebel Alliance and the Nazrike Resistance, unbeknownst to all an Imperial Spy Bane Malar, slips through the Nazrike Security Grid and closes in on the supposed hidden bunker. Entering the bunker's air supply via one of it's large generator cents, the spy places a device to over-ride the bunker's life support systems and security lock-downs before programming the device to self-detonate upon completion. Slipping away, those in the bunker know no different as they carry on preparing for their eventual departure.
With talks coming to a head, the bunker suddenly locks down. With the doors and elevators sealed shut, the group have to work together in order to get free from their enclosed coffin. With smoke filling the room and a noticeable difficulty in breathing Weekat, Sava and Rishowlmhroor managing to finally force the medical bay door open for Cayla to squeeze through. Inside the young woman searches to find gas masks for those inside. Meanwhile Kaje finally gets some success in opening the elevator doors but at a cost to his own body. Forcing himself on he neglects his own safety for that of those within. The diminutive Ubese Sevax meanwhile enters the air vents and treks through the winding shafts to stumble across a massive fire. With the aid of an astromech droid that was also sent into the vent, the two work on extinguishing the flames.
As Sava Stary finally opens the door to the conference room where the Bothan Diplomat and Nazrike General were attending their meeting, Dunestrider is able to find the masks and offer them out to those in the group. With everyone now having gas masks, Kaje takes it upon himself to enter the smoke filled shaft and to try and open the ground level elevator doors. Unable to open the doors wide enough for him to fit through, he takes it upon himself to do so. Though he manages it, he is severly injured in the process and is rushed to the medical bay for the med-droid to begin work on. With Sava also finding difficulty in the shaft, Wookie Lieutenant Rishowlmhroor, manages to ascend the smoky shaft and enter the upper level.
With the Ubese Sevax returning with a device that had apparently started the problems that had been suffered in the bunker, the Wookiee finally manages to open the upper main entrance and begin venting the smoke from the underground bunker. With oxygen now slowly entering the facility, General Simonavitch is certain that the spy to have carried out this attack was the quiet Ubese. Demanding actions, Fe'lay calls in Exao Gunn as the Ubese is left to aid Sava Stary restore communications to the building. Eventually the pair along with the Wookiee manage to inspect the area above ground where Sevax stumbles across tracks that lead east. With accusations flying around, and Rapperport insistent that this Ubese is not to be trusted, he orders Rishowlmhroor to keep the Ubese in his sight at all times.
With the Tantive V sending a speeder to retrieve Laveth Fe'lay, Kaje Reilloc, Weekat Matiren and Cayla Dunestrider, the unit leader Exao Gunn remains with Rapperport Simonavitch as he sends Sava Stary out to aid Sevax and Rishowlmhroor. Catching up with the stoic Ubese and the giant Wookiee the three men head further east where upon they stumble across a camp. Able to acquire a droid and a holo-data-disk, the group are certain of the attack on the bunker had been carried out by an unknown assailant.
Returning to the bunker, Rapperport Simonavitch issues new orders to his Nazrike Forces, as he and Fe'lay finalise the agreement between the Rebellion and Nazrikes. With a company of Nazrike commandos joining the Rebel Alliance, Rishowlmhroor is placed temporarily with Gunn's Unit, as the Rebels head back to the Tantive V and make their way back to Rebel Space. On the way home, the ship stops at Chanmea, the moon of the planet Chandrila. Fe'lay then orders the unit to take time to rest as she returns in the Tantive V to Arbra. Now found at the Rebel Secret Outpost hidden within S.S.I. the group are finally able to have time for themselves.
Hearing word from Command, An-Taei Wynonyms and Jan Ors call off their search. Taking coordinates of the downed Stary vessel, they head back to the Fortua System and reconvene with the fleet that remains there.
===Redemption===
Kileo Dimoh has recieved a transmission from Major Wynonyms about the capture of Commander Luke Skywalker on Abridon. Behind high command's back, he's decided to give Kileo and the SGC a chance to redeem themself. Breaking Skywalker out of Imperial imprisonment would surely be enough to convince the high command that SGC is not a unit they can afford to lose. With the little information given to her, Kileo is now trying to gather the force once again to aid her in her new assignment.
Kileo, Weekat, Cay'la and Kaje has left the home of the Stargazer's aboard the Star, and headed for the tropical planet of Glee Anselm to try and locate the former Imperial General Tulon. Aboard the Star, the four were able to gear up for the mission at hand. The flight to Glee Aselm were quite un-eventfull, and as they came out of lightspeed, they got a first look at the tropical home planet of the Nautolan. With the planet currently ravaged by a storm season, the Star, going under the name of the cargo ship the Puny Stintaril, was unable to put down in any of the major cities. Defying a smaller tropical storm, Kaje was able to manouver the ship down to a small outpost in the south western region of the planet, on an island called Kilika.
As no scans of the planet were made before they started their decent to the surface, the commandos have currently no idea as to where they should start the search for the downed Imperial prisoner transport ship. But at the moment they got bigger problems on their hands. On arrival they're expected to show IDs and and go through a ship inspection. The crew can only hope they'll be able to keep the illegal goods aboard the Star hidden from the prying eyes of the authorities on Kilika
Arriving on the island of Kilika, the four Alliance members went through ID checks as well as a search onboard the Star. Luckily for all of them, the ID papers went through and the search team were un-able to locate the contraband in which were hidden in the smuggling compartments of the ship. Not trusting the ship with the Nutolans, Kaje remained behind with the Star as Kileo, Cayla and Weekat went out to explore the small outpost they had put down in.
By talking to the locals, they soon learned that there had been a ship which had crashed not too far away from the outpost. The local doctor had ran into one of the escape prisoners while out in the jungle. And also a local biologist named Lu-Ti had valuable info for the group as he had vitnessed the crash landing of the Imperial transport. Given direction by Lu-Ti, the trio headed out to investigate. Upon finding the ship wreck, they noticed a battle had been fought as several dead stormtroopers and prisoners were scattered around the area surrounding the ship wreck.
Also in the area were a burnt out camp fire with a small holo projector. Upon activation they discovered it was a holo-journal made by the former Imperial Colonel, Tulos. He described the events that had happened after the crash, and also left clues as to how to find him. With a combination of the Star's sensors, and Cayla's force powers, they were soon able to find Tulos laying on the rock face of a nearby mountain.
After being treated by Weekat, the Imperial Colonel were able to give vital information about the location of Skywalker. The Alliance hero had been taken to the planet of Vjun. Home of Lord Vader's personal retreat Bast Castle. Shocked by the news, the group decided to camp up for the night to avoid being ambushed by the predators lurking in the jungle.
Upon daylight, they brought Tulos back to the outpost and left the tropical world of Glee Anselm, heading back for Chanmea.
Having learned the location of Alliance Hero Luke Skywalker, the commando squad sets out on yet another daring mission in hope to save the captured Commander Skywalker from Vader's cluthces on the hostile planet Vjun. With Exao Gunn missing in action, Kileo Dimoh is placed in command of the rescue operation. Gathering her forces back on Chanmea, the commando unit almost face an instant stop to the mission as Sava returns with a battered and broken Fiery Dawn, leaving the unit without a transport. However their gear soon arrives, and carrying it is a newly re-modelled YT-2400. Now with a ship to carry them, the commandos leave the safety of Chanmea behind as they jump towards the Vjun system.
With some intel at hand, Kileo knows that the ship will have to drop out of hyperspace within a cluster of asteroids which is supposed to be made out of a mineral which disrupts ship scanners. After running precise calculation, Kaje finaly drops the ship out of hyperspace and quickly discover that they're atleast at the right co-ordinates as the ship gets battered with smaller asteroids. Bringing up the shields, the ship is able to hold off the minor asteroids, but is soon hit hard by a larger asteroid, resulting in the loss of the top turret and loss of hull integrity. With Kaje manouvering the ship gently through the asteroid cluster. Kileo checks the scanners and is surprised to find them working at full capacity, despite the asteroid cluster's supposed power to disrupt scanners. Picking up Vader's personal fleet called Death Squadron, she quickly determines that the fleet shows no signs of picking up the rebels on scanners.
The Alliance ship is quick to move towards one of many sensor arrays surrounding the planet. Keeping at a good distance, Weekat eventualy mans the remaining turret and fires off shots towards the nearby sensor array. Something which quickly stirs the Imperial fleet into action. The ISD Tyrant launches a squadron of TIE fighters to investigate the sudden loss of the sensor array. Still far away from being within visual range, the rebels takes the oportunity to creep closer to the planet to disable the inner sensor array which is blocking their path. With Risho now in the turret, he scores a direct hit to the sensor. Something which is picked up by the TIE squadron as it alters it's course towards the Alliance ship's location. To avoid detection, Kaje manouvers the ship quickly out of the asteroid cluster and down into Vjun's atmosphere.
Hidden in the cloud layer around Vjun, Kileo checks out their next objective. The Imperial communication center down on the surface. Protected by a turbo laser, two AT-STs and ten hazard troopers, the Rebel Commandos see no other way than to dive into it and face off against the turbo laser. Breaking through the cloud layer, their ship is quickly targeted as the turbo laser detects them. Taking some heavy hits which almost disables the ship's shields, Kaje is able to manouver the ship futher down and avoid the turbo laser for a short time. In the turret, Risho finds his targets and takes down the AT-STs first. Out-matched by the ship's powerfull laser cannons, the AT-STs soon face defeat as they're both disabled.
However the turbo laser keeps adding insult to injury as it soon disables the ships shields completly, and start to dig into the hull platings. Well aware that the turbo laser will finish them off unless it's taken out quickly, Kaje flies the ship futher down to give Risho's turret maximum effect when fired. After a few missed attack runs, Risho's shots finaly find their mark as the turbo laser burst up in flames after it's power cells ignite and explode.
With all the heavy defenses taken care of. Kaje moves in for final approach on their landing spot. During the descent, Risho seems to grow fond of the turret as he lights up the remaining seven hazard troopers on the surface below. With an amazing salvo, the Wookiee's turret tears apart the heavy armor plating of tha hazard troopers and quickly neutralize the last remains of resistance by the communication center.
With the ship safely on the ground and with zero resistance remaining nearby. The Commandos can only hope the Empire did not send out a transmission from the still operational comm center. If they did, our Rebel friends may be facing more trouble than they can handle.
With the ship safely on the ground and with zero resistance remaining nearby. The Rebel Commandos made short work of the communications center in which supplied the Imperial forces with planet wide comm coverage. However during the assault, the Empire were able to send off a distress signal to Bast Castle, and it didn't take long before the group was running for cover at the sound of incoming TIE fighters. Spotting the rebel ships, the TIE squadron decided to light it up, terminating any chance for the Rebels to escape the planet.
Managing to keep hidden from the search party, the rebels continued south east towards the location which was thought to be Bast Castle. However their route was quickly compromised as they ran into an acid river which stretched around the region. Knowing well enough that the enviro suits were only designed to protect them aginst acide rain, the group started searching for an alternative route over the acid river. They soon stumbled over a bridge which would give them passage to the other side, however there was one problem. And this problem consisted of four hazard troopers and an AT-ST.
While working out a strategy for their assault, an Sentinel-class landing craft passed overhead moving towards the north. Fearing the Imperials were setting them up in a pincer manouver, Weekat took charge and positioned the group for the assault. Everything seemd to go smooth as Sava disabled the AT-ST with his rocket launcher, while Weekat took out the E-web. Even Cayla got in a lucky shot and were able to disable the mechanical legs of one of the hazard troopers. However the tide quickly turned as the former E-web gunner was able to score a direct hit on Sava, compromising his armor and making him vurnerable to the acid rain which had started to pour down on them. Both Kileo and Risho also felt the power from the hazard trooper weapons, but were able to get away with just a small scratch to their armors.
Having little luck with their return-fire, the commandos decided to bring out the big guns. Sava, still struggling with the pains of the acid rain, offered his rocket launcher to Weekat which effeciently used it to neutralize the hazard trooper which first manned the E-web gun. With the two remaining hazard troopers getting danger close to Kileo, Risho and Cayla, they pulled back and threw detonators at the troopers. The two troopers could do little but exchange worried looks before the detonators exploded.
With the bridge now clear, and Sava's wounds treated, they continued on towards bast castle and finaly reached the home of the dark lord of the sith, Vader.
Walking up to one of the doors by Bast Castle, the group were surprised at the total absent of security around the Castle. Finding a terminal, Weekat tried to get the door to open, but were denied. The terminal requested a code cylinder to allow access to the castle. Hoping Imperial Intelligence hadn't updated their files in the past three months, Weekat decided to use her old code cylinder. Aparently II had been doing their job right as the cylinder was denied, and security was notified. The group barricaded themself in front of the door, ready to shoot down whatever walked through it. But to their surprised, the enemy came from above. Four Imperial jumptroopers surrounded the group. Two landed while the other two remained in hover mode. Upon orders, Weekat surrendered and dropped her weapon. Knowing he couldn't take them all on by himself, Sava soon followed and dropped his DL-19. Cayla remained un-responsive and ended up on the recieving end of a stun baton as the two hovering troopers lowered to the ground and disarmed her.
Cuffed and stripped of their packs and weapons, the group was taken into Bast Castle and down to the detention area. Once inside the cell, their cuffs were removed and they were left to themself. Not bothering to even try to resist their Imperial captors, the group remained still as they awaited their inevitable execution. Not long passed until two troopers came for Sava. He was cuffed and taken out of the cell. Remaining behind, Weekat tried to evoke some reaction from Cayla which seemd to have dropped into a deep state of depression following their capture. But her efforts were wasted as Cayla couldn't see any way out of the situation and had abandoned the hope of escape.
In the meantime, Sava was taken up several turbo lifts until they reached their destination. As the doors slid open, he was surprised to see Lord Vader already engaged in combat with Luke Skywalker which had gotten a hold of a lightsaber. Around the room Sava saw several familiar faces in the form of Kyle Katarn and his commandos. Sava's escorts were quickly shot down by two of the commandos as the rest were engaging troopers around the big trophy room. Kyle moved to Sava's location and freed him of the cuffs before arming him. The group dealt with the last Imperial troopers in the room before they started to retreat to the turbo lifts. Skywalker which were fighting Vader, was finaly able to get the upper hand on the dark lord as the black armored man were knocked off balance and fell off one of the ramps they had been fighting on. Skywalker ran for the turbolifts together with Katarn, Sava and the commandos, making their escape from Vader's personal quarters. Coming out of the turbolift, one of the commandos sliced into it's systems and disabled it, trapping the dark lord up in his quarters.
In the cell, Weekat and Cayla could hear blaster fire picking up outside. Hoping for a chance to break out, Weekat prepared herself for combat. Their cell door suddenly lit up as a glowing line started to form around it, eventualy going full circle. The door dropped down to the ground and the two rebels got a first glance of their rescuers. Kyle armed Weekat with a weapon, and sensing Cayla's force sensitivity, Luke offered her the lightsaber of his old master in which he had found in Vader's trophy room. However the offer was refused. The group made a run for the Moldy Crow which was landed outside, and made a run from the planet.
Once up in space, Kyle sat the course for Chanmea to drop off the SGC before taking Skywalker back to the fleet. The group got some time to reflect on the mission, and were finaly given an explenation as to why Katarn's Commandos were on Vjun. Having hoped that SGC would be able to redeem themself to command by rescuing Skywalker, Taei had also sent Katarn and his men to shadow the SGC and to finish the mission should the group fail. The more veteran and experienced commando group eventualy decided to intervene as they vitnessed the SGC being captured outside of Bast Castle.
This didn't go well with Cayla, and Weekat remained with her to try and lighten her mood while Sava went back to Skywalker and Katarn on the bridge of the Moldy Crow. There, he was offered the lightsaber which Skywalker had tried to give Cayla before. Un-certain at first, Sava eventualy accepted the gift gratefully and made a promise to Skywalker to take good care of the lightsaber which had been used by his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
===Liberation===
After grouping SGC together under the leadership of Acting CO Kaje Reilloc, the team boarded transport provided by An-Taei Wynonyms in the shape of a Rebel YT. This less than perfect ship would take them to the surface of Ord Mantell, set them down and disappear - leaving Kaje and the team on their own and with the first part of their mission ahead of them - finding, and infiltrating, an Imperial Depot. There, they plan to steal uniforms and a shuttle and make their way to Dathomir.
During flight, Reilloc and the squad begin to formulate a plan of action. Being mindful that this is his first test of leadership, Kaje felt that he needed to be meticulous in the planning stages in an attempt to keep mistakes to a minimum. Once on foot, they would try to find and ambush a Stormtrooper patrol without giving them time to call for backup. Initially, it was suggested that they use EMP weapons but, due to Kaje's cybernetics, this was deemed a no-go. Stary suggested that they do this by removing the helmets of the Troopers and take them out up close and personal - something they were all capable of.
As Risho, the resident Wookie, would not be able to utilise a uniform - SGC plan to use him as a prop prisoner in order to access the Depot and then have a reason to pass through to Dathomir prison. Kileo, using her slicing abilities, managed to create authentic looking prisoner papers for Risho as well as an ISB agent profile for herself. The latter would allow Kileo to use her previous training as an ISB agent and, hopefully, move through the Depot without too many questions being asked, and thus buy the group some time in finding transport off Ord Mantell.
Whilst looking over the Depot plans and maps, Cay'la discovered a potential weakness. There appeared to be a section of the wall that was not only scaleable but was also a camera blind spot. Cay'la felt that she could convince the guards within the base that a prisoner had escaped that way and thus reduce the guard presence greatly - easing their search of the Depot. It was also suggested that Kileo try to raise the alarms remotely to add authenticity to their claims.
With their initial plans formulated, Kaje gave the team time to get themselves composed and equipped. The Rebel pilot made the team aware they were dropping out of Hyperspace and coming in to land...
===Uprising===
With Command looking to finish the assault on Orupia, SGC have been tasked with returning to the planet to topple the remaining of the Imperial forces on the planet and find Rhyley stargazer and Raedan Kitani who have been on the planet for some months.
With SGC having made it onto Orupia once again. Kileo and Erisey set about finding a way to bring to reverse the Imperial Comnet disruptors as soon as they looked they found what appeared to have been an earlier attempt at the same slice by Raedan. Unnerved by the fact it appeared Raedan had calmly logged out of the system Erisey and Kileo Proceed reverse the Disruptors with the Imperial Comnet down the Rebels are able to put out a message to all remaining Rebel forces in the city. With Rebel agents responding to the city wide comm, one such Rebel was Rhyley. Little did SGC know however that the new communications system was also being monitored by a new Enemy. With Weekat and Risho suspecting they saw something they reunite with the rest of the team and head into the city.
Arranging to meet Exao and Kileo by the Starport, the rest of the team take up posistions around the the starport to monitor the pair it isn't long before they find Rhyley, as the pair meet up with him they exchange a small amount of plesentries before Exao asks if Raedan is with him. After a short pause Rhyley informs Exao that Raedan didn't make it. Then asking about whether Rhyley had contact with any of the rebel survivors he informs them he can take them to some survivors of the inital battle leading the pair into the cities sewer system the rest of the unit hang back and continue to monitor for any unwanted attention.
With Rhyley, Exao and Kileo reaching a small dug out room inside were several Alliance soldiers who were hiding from the occupying Imperial Forces moments as the group make their way in out of nowhere three Imperial shadowtroopers along with a third Imperial in what appears to be a set of Mandalorian armour appear from under cloaking devices. With the Rebels unprepared they are quickly cut down by the Imperial fire. Exao and Kileo are quickly able to take out the three Shadowtroopers as the fourth figure ignites two red lightsabers and bares down on Exao.
With Exao engaging him with his own lightsaber Exao is able to quickly out manouver the Imperial with his superior saber skills. With him distracted Kileo is able to shoot one saber out of his right hand with the new oppertunity Exao quickly cuts the Imperials hand off. Showing no sign of pain the Imperial fights on however the fight is drawn to a close as Exao performs a finishing move on the Imperial which sees him lose his left hand and leg, now pinned to the wall by the force. The Imperial is knocked unconcious by a stunshot from Kileo's Blaster.
===Betrayal===
It's a dark time for the Alliance commando group known as Stargazer's Commandos. Even though their former assignments have been somewhat successful, Alliance High Command has started to doubt the group for their unorthodox ways of tackling assignments. During a mission to Orupia, the group would recover lost Rebels Rhyley Stargazer and Raedan Kitani, as well as assist Orupian Resistance Forces in uprising against the Empire. However during their plans, Kileo Dimoh was captured by Imperial Agents, and has been taken to the Core World, Coruscant.
Returning to the Rebel Fleet at Fortua, both Rhyley and Exao Gunn sense something is amiss after their debriefings with Alliance command. Signalling Sava Stary to get away from the fleet with the aid of Kaje Reilloc and Weekat Matiren, those that remain are called in for a showdown with Alliance Major, Taei Wynonyms.
Bestowing upon them the knowledge that Alliance Commander, Romas Navander, has been uncovered as an Imperial Spy, Wynonyms hints at just how much intelligence Navander must've acquired regarding crucial Rebel Information that could cripple the Rebellion if the Empire were to gain such knowledge. Implying that along with Navander there may have been another conspirator working with the Spy within the Alliance, it is his duty to imply that currently two major suspects are currently needed for immediate questioning:
Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani.
With Raedan now under guard on Home One whilst he recovers from his injuries sustained on Orupia, Alliance Command has sent for Doctor Walex Blissex to return to the Fleet from his current assignment in Arbra, in order to extensively question Kitani. Stargazer's Commandos find themselves confined to their bunks until each member has undergone an extensive Psychological Evaluation Test, to root out if there are any more co-conspirators within the unit as well as whether the group's members are capable of working in the field.
As Stary along with Kaje and Weekat exit high above Coruscant, the group make their descent onto the Imperial Capital with relative ease. Landing just outside of the Uscru District, the trio move towards the Citadel, in the hope of uncovering information about the possible location of missing friend, Kileo.
Meanwhile Stargazer along with Erisey and Rishowlmhroor begin planning for a way to clear the names of their allies. Hoping that Sava is closer to recovering Kileo, he seeks to ask his father, Taei Wynonyms, to allow Rishowlmhroor to return to Orupia with Sevax and Ket Celoon in order to recover the bodies of who he thought was Raedan Kitani and Bai'yle Norssohn.
The flight to Orupia was quick, barely an hour had passed before the former yacht of Bai'yle Norssohn arrived in the Sega System. Hailing the Orupian Space Authorities in Pareen, the great Wookiee Rishowlmhroor managed to get his ship and crew to the planet and to a meeting with the Draksin Commander Moadeeb. Informing the man of the reason for their visit, the group would hear that though they did still have the body of Bai'yle Norssohn, the remains of the supposed Raedan Kitani had disappeared during the Empire retaking Pareen Palace.
Given no leads in tracking where these supposed remains may have been taken to, Ket Celoon delivers a Hologram-message from Stargazer to Moadeeb before aiding in moving the body of Bai'yle Norssohn to the ship, 'Idiot's Array'. Leaving without being able to visit the Princess of Orupia, the group head back to the fleet with unwanted news.
High above Coruscant aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer Emancipator, Kileo was alone in her cell when things began to suddenly change for the worse, strange visions jumping into her mind began to overwhelm the young female as she struggled with the broiling emotions that was cursing within her veins. Taken to a torture chamber the young female was placed within an electrosis device as her brother watched on completely untouched by the display.
After a series of cruel and grueling shocks, the Nubian succumbed to the illusions that had fought into her mind by Sly Moore. Giving into the visage that she felt she was undertaken, Dimoh finally succumbed to Moore's will as she lashed out in fear and pain. Awakening to her cell, a small mark has formed upon her back as she awaits an unknown fate.
Kaje and Sava had spent time in the Uscru District hoping to find a way into the Imperial Star Destroyer. Conversing with two young smugglers left them about as knowledgeable of Coruscanti Space as a Bantha, however not shortly after the two Rebels happened to cross paths with two very different characters. Bane Malar is a Bounty Hunter with a lot to prove, wanting to replace Boba Fett as the premier Bounty Hunter across the known galaxy, any job worth its salt in danger and credits was of worth to him and his newest protege, 'Slick'.
Annoying as well as interesting the unknown Hunter, Sava and Kaje pay their way to atleast have a sit down with the masked man. Telling them of their plan to board an Imperial Star Destroyer, their odd requests and behaviour immediately gave Malaar more than he could've hoped for. Accepting a deal that would heavily weigh in his favour, Bane and Slick head to the Imperial Star Destroyer where the head Imperial Bounty Hunter, announces to the Star Destroyer that he has Sava Stary to hand over. With little choice but to go along with Malar's plan, Stary and Kaje are placed in the cells of the Star Destroyer that holds Kileo Dimoh.
With no news of their tests, the group on Home One begin to get restless and frustrated as news surfaces that the Idiot's Array has returned to the fleet. After a debrief with General Crix Madine, Rishowlmhroor would return to his companions as Rhyley Stargazer was called for the first of the Psyche Evaluation Tests. Entering the detention chamber, he is surprised to see the figure of someone from his own past, Doctor Eleyenora Rosewood.
A little astonished by her sudden appearance, Rhyley tries to remain as blunt as possible as he uncomfortably progresses through the test. Showing flashes of sadness, rage and contempt, Stargazer is eventually removed from the test. As Rishowlmhroor digresses details of his trip to Orupia to Exao, it would be he that is called next for a showdown with Doctor Roseward. Learning of the inability to recover the supposed body of Raedan Kitani from Orupia, Rhyley is left perplexed as to what he has seen, and what exactly is the truth.
The gentle Wookiee Rishowlmhroor makes light work of his meeting with the female Doctor, allowing glimpses into his loyalty to those he has served with, even after trying to instigate a reaction from the giant man-beast, Eleyenora finally gives up. Calling for Exao to take his place, Rhyley asks Rishowlmhroor to go get some rest following his journey to Orupia. With James Brown watching on as the Doctor quizzes Exao, the young Talusian plays carefully with his answers to the probing questions from the female Doctor.
Bringing their discussions to an end, Roseward informs Gunn that she is to suggest to Major Taei Wynonyms that Gunn be taken off active duty immediately. Surprised by her findings, Gunn puts his faith that the Rebel Major will see his side of the argument when deciding upon whether to remove Gunn from his duty. With the Doctor taking a break to deliver her findings, Erisey, Raedan and the recently returned Cayla Dunestrider await orders for them to endure the Psyche Evaluation Test.
Stargazer and Gunn wait for Roseward to deliver her findings to Major Taei Wynonyms, before requesting an audience with Rhyley's father. Pleading with the Major and then soon joined by the General Crix Madine, the pair are refused, however Bothan Intelligence has secured insight that there was a transmission to the Tatooine Sector from the personel station that Navander had worked from. With still no word from Solo, Skywalker or Organa following the fall of Jabba the Hutt; Rhyley, Exao and Rishowlmhroor are tasked with travelling to the desert world, in search of answers.
Following the arrival of the frigate Redemption, the Rebel Fleet readies to launch an attack on an Imperial Fleet in the Sullust System. Now on Home One, Walex Blissex along with Ket Celoon are immediately led to where Raedan Kitani is being held, to carry out a physical examination of the young Rebel Cyborg. With Erisey Casoona-Kitani waiting for her Psyche Evaluation, Cayla Dunestrider soon learns that she has missed Stargazer by a matter of minutes.
Aboard the Executor, Sly Moore meets with the Emperor to inform him of how successful she has been in her plan to utilise the Dimoh Children. With everything seemingly going as according to plan, Darth Vader is sent to an unknown location, as Palpatine and Sly Moore prepare to travel to various other locations in a grand scheme devised by the Emperor. With the Executor leaving Coruscant, the Imperial Fleet high above the Imperial Center breaks formation.
Finally arriving at Tatooine, Stargazer tries to locate two known contacts on the desert planet. As Rishowlmhroor comes up with nothing regarding his scans for the Millennium Falcon or Luke Skywalker, Rhyley opens a channel with his former employers. Granted a chance to chat with enigmatic director of the Tatooine Sand-Shipping company, her ear-bashing is soon cut off by Stargazer who then diverts his attentions to Talon Karrde. Allowed to land in Mos Eisley, he and the Wookiee Rishowlmhroor meet with the charismatic information handler, and learn of how no one truly knows what is going on at Jabba's Palace.
Heading to the Palace, the pair are surprised to see the massive doors open. Heading inside, the get as far as the Throne Room, before they come face to face with a strange looking Spider Droid. Able to gain crucial knowledge that Skywalker and Solo were sent to the Pit of Carkoon, Stargazer and Rishowlmhroor were forced to fight for their escape as the droids attacked. Sealing the Palace doors behind them, both then travel to the Pit of Carkoon.
Unable to find any sign of Solo or Skywalker, and with little clues as to where else to find Skywalker or Solo, the pair decide to look for the location where Skywalker was raised. Finding Anchorhead and the Tosche Statioin, the pair learn from a young female of how Luke lived on a moisture farm not far from them. Travelling with the female to the farm, Stargazer finds signs of a ship, possibly an X-Wing having landed here. Using Talon Karrde, Rhyley and Rishowlmhroor join Exao back aboard the Rogue Star and soon learn this starship had seemed to leave Tatooine and headed for Nar Shaddaa.
Communicating with the Fleet, the group is informed that Han Solo and Leia Organa have arrived at the Fleet Rendezvous safe and sound. Asking if it was Skywalker that travelled to Nar Shaddaa, they are informed he didn't and so surmising this ship may have been a spy of the Empire working perhaps with Romas Navander, Stargazer leads his ship to the Smuggler's Moon. Deciding to launch their initial attacks on the Imperial Fleet above Sullust, the Rebel Fleet makes it's move as Blissex concludes his physical examination of Raedan Kitani.
Waking to find himself no longer in cuffs and now in prisoner attire, Kaje is the first to stir from an induced sleep. Trying to trick a guard into thinking he had escaped in oreder to free himself however results in him being stunned by the Imperial Stormtrooper that checks his cell. Kileo, meanwhile, had been alone in her cell for what felt like days. Forced to comply with a guard's examination of her body, she senses their concern at being so close to her. Struggling against their examination, she pleads with them to stop before she is forcibly choked until she passes out.
As Bane Malar returns to his ship having collected the bounty for Sava Stary, Kaje Reilloc and Weekat Matiren, the helmeted bounty hunter calls over a technician working within the Imperial Star Destroyer. Using his innate ability to touch the minds of his quarry, he forces the Technician to lower the stasis fields for the cells that hold Kaje, Sava and Weekat. Lifting from his stunned state Kaje investigates the stasis field that holds him captive. Not seeing any oddities he resorts to a last measure of charging into the field, hoping that it'll make 'something' happen. As he does so, the field inexplicably drops and the young Rebel finds himself on the floor of his detention block.
Kileo slowly awakes from her imposed slumber. Still sensing the trepedation in the guards outside her cell, she calls out for some water and again finds herself forced to the wall in a submisssive position before the guard feels confident in entering the cell. Placing the water in her cell, Kileo feels the urge of a power embroiled inside her however resists it's call. Having made his way into the Guard Room, following checking the still sleeping Sava and Weekat and being unable to wake them, Reilloc finds a comm device and tries to bluff his way through an Imperial channel. Making the error of not using his imperial coding, he instead raises the alarm as Imperial Stormtroopers are sent hastily to his location. Backed into a dead end, Kaje breaks a locker carrying Imperial E11 Blasters and shoots his way into a dark shaft.
With the alarms ringing, Kileo senses her chance to try and escape. Utilising her ability to manipulate electrical objects, she causes a light to explode. The guards noticing this oddity, ignore the young female as they call in Repair technicians to fix the object. This distraction gives Kileo the chance to focus on causing a larger explosion that causes enough structural damage to lower the field to her cell. Able to exit and with the guards not watching her, she eases out slowly and tries to sneak around. Not getting very far before she is noticed, the guards try to force her back into her cell, though refusing to do so, Kileo calls on the strange dark strength that she felt only moments before. Closing her eyes, she focuses entirely on this intriguing and seductive ability, before opening her eyes to see those behind her now dead.
Having fell into a waste tank, Kaje now chin deep in sewage looks for a way out. Unable to reach the shaft he fell from two meters above him, the young Rebel soon realises the Empire are about to vent this tank into space. Knowing he doesn't have long, he uses his Carbine to fire into the wall of the tank, making a hole large enough to climb up. Forcing a shaft door open that rips his cyborg hand to pieces, Kaje manages to clamber free into a maintenance shaft before the Waste Tank is emptied into space. Making his way through the shaft, he finally crawls out into a technicians room. Looking for something to use as a weapon, he watches as the door opens and an unassuming Technician enters. Not noticing Kaje, the young Rebel attacks the Imperial and puts him down before donning the Technicians clothing as a makeshift disguise.
With her guards now dead, Kileo retrieves an E11 before looking to the well guarded Guard Room. With the arrival of more technicians to repair the sudden unexplained damage in Kileo's Cell Block, Kileo again calls on the dark mystical power inside her. Again, those in the room are dropped, with only one of the Technicians surviving the ordeal. Moving into the hallway, Kileo sees a large Stormtrooper presence blocking her way through to the hangars and what she hopes is her escape. Backtracking she begins to work a console in order to set off a diversion.
Kaje now in the guise of an Imperial Technician makes his way unknowingly towards Kileo's position. However as he is about to rejoin her, he finds himself cornered ith two units of Imperial Stormtroopers all on high alert following Kileo's distraction. Cornered. Kaje fears the worst before he is forcibly pushed aside by the arriving Imperial Stormtroopers. Not believing his luck, Kaje wanders into the grand hall that Kileo had only moments before passed through. Still no idea how close he is to the young female, the charismatic Rebel wanders back into his own Cell Block, now finding Sava and Weekat very much awake but held in confinement. Freeing the pair, the small group work to find Kileo.
The young female meanwhile edges closer to the hangars, firing upon unexpectant Imperial Stormtroopers, she eventually is found by her so-called rescuers before the four Rebels fight their way back to the hangar. With the majority of the Empire's Stormtroopers already behind them thanks to Kaje's escape, and Kileo's diversion, their path is easier than they could've hoped for. Exiting at the hangar, they fight their way onto the ship of Bane Malar, who was still waiting for them. Safe aboard Bane's Mark, the ship tries to leave however is stopped by a lone figure. With Kileo sensing the figure his her brother, she reaches out to him, however is forcibly pushed out of his mind.
With a look of fear and pain in her eyes, she stands by idly as Sava and Kaje man the turrets and fire the damning shots at Kileo's brother that allows the ship to break free of the grip imposed by Keran Dimoh. Spewing into space, the ship immediately readies to jump into hyperspace as TIE Fighters begin to swarm the small vessel. Unable to deal enough damage to stop the ship, and with the Star Destroyer poorly positioned to install a tractor-beam on the ship, Bane's Mark and those aboard enter lightspeed and head for Nar Shaddaa.
At the Smuggler's Moon, Rhyley and Rishowlmhroor begin their search for the X-Wing they had tracked here from Tatooine. Locating the ship to the Corellian Spire in the heart of the Corelli District of Nar Shaddaa, they begin their search of the huge facility. Landing at Pad sixteen and level eighty-nine, Rhyley and Rishowlmhroor go their seperate ways as they extend their search for the missing ship. With Bane's Mark exiting hyperspace at the Nal Hutta moon, it is more blind luck, that Malar chose the safe district to drop the wanted Rebels off. Giving them no aid or advice, Malar leaves with 'Slick' as Kaje, Kileo, Weekat amd Sava head further into the Spire.
Looking for a ship or a crew that would help them offworld, Kaje and Kileo split off from Weekat and Sava and stumble across a familiar looking YT1300. Realising it's the Rogue Star, personal vessel of Rhyley, Kileo puts a call out on the Smurf Frequencies in hopes of hearing either Rhyley or someone to do with the ship. Surprised to hear Kileo's voice, Rhyley and Rishowlmhroor call off their search momentarily, to re-group with Kileo, Kaje and the others.
Back aboard the Star, the group slowly give details of what they had undergone since they all saw each other last. With Kileo remaining at a distance from everyone, Rhyley sends Kaje and Rishowlmhroor off in search of the X-Wing from Tatooine, as Exao, Sava and Weekat recover some supplies nearby. Allowing Kileo to take her time in telling Rhyley the ordeal she had undergone, Rhyley tries his best to repair the heart-ache the young woman is suffering.
Back on the Spire, Kaje and Rishowlmhroor's search lead them to the Spire Authority, the security unit that over-watches all the activity on the Corellian Spire. Using his charms on the young female Corellian, Moia Sturm, Kaje finds out the exact location of the X-Wing. Arriving at the ship, after communicating to Stargazer, Kaje looks over the vessel and finds it well protected by a silent alarm. Not wanting to get into any unknown trouble, he places a tracking device on the ship, before purposefully tripping the alarm and then retreat to a safe distance.
Mere minutes pass before a woman arrives. Long flowing Red-Hair, her body lithe and clearly well-worked out returns. Seeing that someone had tried to access her ship, she begins to look about for those who might've done it. Noticing cameras up above, she is soon joined by an Imperial Officer and a Unit of Stormtroopers. Cursing their Luck, the female and Officer leave as Kaje and Rishowlmhroor make a break for the exit. Able to get past the unit, they comm ahead to the Rogue Star to prepare for an immediate take off.
With the ship ready and rhyley and Kileo in the cockpit, Exao, Sava and Weekat safely on-board, Kaje and Rishowlmhroor race into the ship in a panic, closely followed by the unit of Stormtroopers. Lifting the ship into the night of Nar Shaddaa, Rhyley focuses on getting the ship as far away as possible, as Kileo checks for any followers. Once clear of the planet, the group enter hyperspace, and begin the long process of trying to catch up on all they missed.
Relaying his findings to General Crix Madine, Walex Blissex begins the difficult decision and prepares a medical ward to undertake his duty. With the Mon Calamari cruiser, Home One exiting at Hyperspace and leading the Rebel Fleet's attack on the Imperial Presence at Sullust, the Rebels are surprised to find no Empire waiting for them. After scanning the entire system as well as coordinating with those on the surface, they son learn the Imperial Fleet had jumped to Coruscant. As they begin to await key intelligence from various sectors, a beleaguered and beaten Katarn's Commandos along with Renegade Squadron finally return from their mission and deliver their findings to High Command.
Exiting Hyperspace at Sullust, the Rogue Star is ready to immediately enter an expectant space battle, however are surprised to see nothing but the Rebel Fleet. Unsure if they are walking into a trap, the group aboard the ship do everything they can before finally believing their eyes. Soon learning that the Imperial Fleet wasn't in the system, members of the unit are called up to meet with Doctor Roseward. Pushing the limits of patience of the members within the unit, the group spend an uneasy few nights waiting for some news.
Eventually Erisey Casoona-Kitani is called in for a meeting with General Crix Madine. Along with Dr Walex Blissex, the two Rebel men inform the young female that the Raedan Kitani that she had recovered along with her allies from Orupia was infact a duplicant replica. Providing insight as to the certainty of such news, they further inform her that this Imperial Machine is still sending data to the Empire as to it's whereabouts. With no other option than to shut the machine down, Erisey leaves the meeting heartbroken and unsure of herself.
Kileo Dimoh meanwhile still recovering from her bout with the Empire is one of the first to see Erisey. As the young female breaks her news to the woman from Naboo, Sava Stary returns from an exercise room not realising the news that has broken. With Kaje Reilloc understanding what Erisey was talking about, the two men quickly depart the room to allow the women some space. Offfering to try and cheer her up through alcohol and then later with combat exercises, Kileo and Erisey grab their weapons and head to the shooting range.
Sava and Kaje meanwhile find Rhyley Stargazer having finished working on his ship. With all three men showing irritation at the way they had been handled the past few days, Kaje's revelation of how the Kitani they brought home was an imposter, Stargazer begind to think enough is enough. Confronting Erisey regarding who was the one to have told her, once he learns that it was Crix Madine, Rhyley's mind is made up as he along with Kaje and Sava head off to the bridge for either a showdown of words or a blaster fight.
With Weekat arriving just after, the women realising the boys are about to do something perhaps rather stupid give chase. The boys meanwhile manage to work their way closer to Madine's whereabouts, a guard having been knocked out as a way to prove their not in the mood to be told otherwise, Rhyley, Sava and Kaje eventually find their way to General Crix Madine. With each of them pointing their blasters at the guards present with Madine, the Rebel General orders his men to stand down and move on.
As the women finally arrive, those in the unit give indication of their moods as tempers flare in converse with Madine. Over the course of their conversation, the General tries to alay their fears and concerns as he finally gives insight into what has been happening behind the units back. Informed that no one will be getting re-assigned or signed off permanetly, Madine also gives insight to a possible new placement following their next new mission.
Appeased at least for now, the group return to their bunks, tempers still a little hazy as a few turn to ways to ease their heated moods. As each awake the next morning, a few members of the unit find that they have an unexpected message, waiting for them on their datapads. In the hours that follow, Rebel High Command begin issuing orders that split up exhisting units that had been together for years as they prepare for the defining battle in their existance.
General Han Solo having volunteered to lead the mission to Endor begin preparing his strike team. Calling for the insight of Majors Derlin and Wynonyms, the three Rebels begin putting together lists of operatives that would have a personal stake in being part of the operation. Deciding to enlist those within Stargazer's commandos, Solo contacts Weekat and Rhyley, who along with Exao learn about the Empire's new sercet weapon, the Death Star. Deciding that they should each be part of this mission, Stargazer informs the rest of the unit to details of a secret operation.
Meanwhile Kileo and Erisey soon learn the ramifications of the Navander defection. With Kileo told she would be shipped back to Arbra Base Command, the young female protests untill Major Wynonyms offers her a place with either Special Forces or Special Operations. Pleading with General Cracken and the Major to allow her to remain with Stargazer's Commandos, she is eventually granted her request. Erisey meanwhile has now been placed under the command of Lieutenant Blount, a good friend of Airen Cracken and is temporarily assigned to aid Stargazer's Commandos, effectively taking Kileo's former position alongside the unit.
When the unit members soon learn about Rhyley's offer of a dangerous new mission, everyone that was asked accept his invitation of joining him voluntarily. With Sevax, Celoon and Cayla Dunestrider all being reassigned and effectively taken out of the unit, Erisey soon learns herself just what SGC are about to undertake. With those around informed as to the real situation, the group prepare via simulators for the expected jungle combat as their supplies are delivered.
Unbeknown to them, the small Bothan Jacoreb has taken it upon himself to find out what seems to have gotten those around him just so anxious. Hiding in the shafts of Home One, the small furry man is able to discern just enough of their mission. Sneaking back to their bunks and carrying on as normal, when the group finally retire for the night and are all asleep, the diminutive Bothan quietly raids the supplies, taking things that he could possibly find a use for, before storing it out of sight.
As the commandos wake the next morning and prepare for their impending mission, some learn that parts of their gear is missing. Fortunately having ordered supply for those that are not part of his unit for this next sortie, the group have enough supplies to go around. As they begin to congregate in the supply room, each tries to lift the spirits of those around them, till they are eventually called into a briefing with High Command. As they enter the huge briefing room, they rub shoulders with the likes of Princess Leia, Wedge Antilles, Keyan Farlander and the Wookiee Chewbacca as they listen to the insight given by Mon Mothma, Admiral Ackbar and General Han Solo.
Whilst they learn that the Emperor himself is personally overseeing the construction of the might Death Star, Jacoreb decides to stow away hidden on the Lambda Shuttle Tyderium. With Solo having decided his command crew, the group leave the briefing and collect their packs before boarding the Shuttle to Endor.
The few hour journey to Endor seems longer than normal as nerves begin to fray. Exiting hyperspace, they all see the Death Star for themselves, accompanied by the flagship of Darth Vader, the domineering presence certainly beginning to settle in. Using stolen codes Solo eventually gets the shuttle onto the planet. With SGC now codenamed Alpha Team, the unit join Solo and his command crew on their expedition through the dense jungle forest. Stumbling onto a scout patrol, Solo and the Wookiee Chewbacca try to deal with the situation quietly, however the Imperials soon learn what is going on and try to make a break away.
Chased by Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker, the two Rebels disappear from sight as Solo, Chewie and Alpha Team deal with the remaining scouts. Setting an ambush at the position and awaiting the reurn of Luke and Leia, the group are surprised when only Skywalker returns. Realising that Leia is now missing, Solo and his companions leave Alpha Team to head towards the Shield Generator as they go off in search of the Princess.
Making their way through the dense overgrown environment, Alpha Team press on, soon realising that something is following them. Setting a trap for whatever it is the group soon catch a dishevelled bothan, Jacoreb. Learning that he had overheard their plans and wanted to aid them, Stargazer reluctantly allows him to travel with the unit as they begin setting camp.
Taking the first watch, Rhyley, Weekat, Erisey, Risho and Kileo stand guard on the perimeter of the camp. As the hours pass and they head into the darkness of the night, Kileo notices something on her scanners that seems to be coming in their direction. Taking with him Erisey, Weekat and Rishowlmhroor, Rhyley leaves Kileo to wake the camp as they go set an ambush for the approaching thing. As it nears, they realise the presence is an AT-ST Walker. With quick thinking he orders Erisey to jam it's communications. With the Walker now unable to inform it's commanders that something is wrong, Weekat quickly takes out the walker's searchlights, before Risho fires as smoke canister into the vehicle.
Seeing the pilot bail from the stricken Walker, Sava and Weekat set the AT-ST to explode when the Imperials send someone to investigate the machine, before the group gather again and set off towards the Shield Generator. Stumbling across a scout patrol, Kaje, Sava and Rishowlmhroor quickly take out the troopers and hide their bodies as Kileo's scanner slowly becomes useless. Unable to sense what is wrong with the device, the Wookiee Rishowlmhroor picks up the sent of a fire. Deciding to investigate, he along with Kaje rush on to see a small lake village engulfed in flamces.
As their companions arrive, they all see the carnage of small furry bodies laying dead covered in ash and blood. As Sava, Rhyley and Kaje headinf forward to investigate, the tell-tale signs of AT-AT Walker imdentations on the ground give away just what has happened to the small village. As the others soon follow, a small furry creature jumps out from the bush and rushes to Rishowlmhroor. If by surprise or shock the giant Wookiee roars angrily, scaring the creature into the arms of Kileo. Trying to calm the little guy down, after offering a ration bar, the small alien drags the petite Nubian female off in the direction of the Shield Generator.
With the group heading that way, the small critter eventually leads them to an Imperial refill and check point station. Heading on to investigate, Rhyley along with Sava and Kaje are able to see just how well defended this base is, with AT-STs and AT-AT Walkers visible and a huge array of Stormtroopers. As they watch from afar, keeping out of direct sight, the three soon see Luke Skywalker on the scene. Seeing him surrender to the Imperial Forces, the men are at a loss to explain what is going on as Skywalker is placed upon an AT-AT Walker.
Deciding to track the Walker, the group moves quickly through the dense jungle before seeing the AT-AT slowly come alongside a giant structure. As they continue to observe, the group are able to see a Lambda Shuttle land on the landing pad of the structure, as Darth Vader appears. Hiding as well as they could, each observes Luke being handed over to the Imperial Sith Lord before being taken aboard the shuttle and heading back towards the Death Star.
Solo contacts Alpha team to find out their position, with the group already at the rendezvous, Solo, Organa, Chewbacca, the Droids and now accompanied by the Ewoks eventually regroup with Alpha Team. Surveying the Shield Generator, the group surmises how best to attack it when an Ewok informs thm of a back door. Deciding to investigate, the group find a small secret bunker at the other side of the ridge. Seeing it poorly guarded, a miniscule Ewok makes a daring play for the speederbikes of the scout troopers, forcing three of the troopers to give chase and leave only one guard remaining.
With Alpha Team setting an ambush for the guard, Solo sets the bait and soon the Rebel Force has control of the back door. With Erisey Casoona-Kitani slicing her way into the bunker, Solo, Organa, Chewie, Stargazer, Stary, Rishowlmhroor and Erisey head inside to lay the charges as the others remain on guard att he entrance. No sooner have they headed in, have an Imperial Force shown up, accompanied with AT-STs and a lethal AT-AT, the Empire springs its trap for the Rebel Heroes as Sava is killed in the struggle.
Taken back outside and now under armed guard, the members of the unit are at a loss for what has happened as a black armoured figure sounding like Raedan Kitani plays on their insecurities, when the Ewoks decide to launch their own attack. Taking the Imperials by surprise, the chaos does enough to cause confusion to allow the Rebels to regroup.
Defending their position inside the bunker entrance, the continued fire upon the black guard forces him to fell, allowing Solo to finally call for Artoo-Detoo to open the door to the bunker. Deciding to try and capture Raedan, Rhyley and Erisey give chase as Weekat is tasked with stopping the AT-AT as Rishowlmhroor heads towards the droids in order to protect their passage to Solo. Arriving at the side of the droids, the tall Wookiee fires is way past Imperial troopers as Kileo takes over an abandoned AT-ST.
Heading for the monstrous AT-AT, the young female fires upon a tree, splitting the bark in the hope of it falling onto the Wallker, it doesn't. Meanwhile the resourceful Jacoreb using a power pack from a speedrbike lays a trap of his own as an explosion causes the AT-AT to lose it's balance. Reaiming at the legs of the giant Walker, Kileo fires upon the vehicle, crippling the AT-AT and sending it forward onto it's front. Weekat meanwhile having taken an abandoned speederbike, seets herself off in chase. Seeing what the others had done, she places her bike on a collision course with the Walker before leaping free. The bike carshes into the AT-AT and erupts in a fireball that soon causes the giant Walker to explode.
Elsewhere alongside the giant Wookiee Chewbacca, Exao and Kaje help lead the charge against the Imperials with the aid of the Ewoks. Taking advantage of the confusion caused in the surprise Ewok attack, Chewie with the aid of Exao and Kaje devise a plan to capture an AT-ST. Forcing an AT-ST to track after the two commandos, the giant Wookiee along with two Ewoks manage to leap out and land upon the unsuspecting AT-ST. Capturing the vehicle, the walker accompanied by the two commandos wreak havoc on the unprepared Imperials.
Heading deeper into the forest and cut off from the others, Rhyley and Erisey stand back to back as Raedan toys with them in the trees. His seemingly cat-like abilities to leap from branch to branch causing him to be difficult to locate before he suddenly hcarges at the pair. LEaping out of the way, Rhyley puts his saber back to his belt as he orders Erisey to remain down. When Raedan makes his next attack, Rhyley leaps up to grab ahold of him, in the hopes of slowling the cyborg down, only to be dragged along and used as a toy as Raedan slams his brother into the trees around them.
Beating Stargazer to an inch of his life, it is only when Rhyley reaches for his saber and severs one of Raedan's arms that Rhyley is finally thrown free. Rolling alongside Erisey who has had no luck with activating Raedan's over-ride coding, Rhyley stands wearily and tries to protect the young woman. As the Death Star destroys a Rebel Cruiser, the flas of the explosion lights up the floor as Raedan now utilising his light whip charges again at the pair.
Backing of Rhyley tries to keep up with Raedan, who's brute strength begins to over power the young Force sensitive. Eventually losing his guard, Raedan sever's Rhyley's right arm, who falls to his knees as Raedan lifts to deliver the killer blow. Erisey with no other choice, lifts her blaster and fires at the small odd-looking attachment on back of the neck of Raedan Kitani, causing the cyborg to freeze in his strike. About to turn, he is only finally knocked over as Jacoreb lashes out at Raedan's throat, using a scalpel asthe Wookiee Rishowlmhroor uses his giant blade to carve Raedan's legs off.
The two brothers lay on their backs staring at the death Star as Erisey rushes to protect the fallen body of the cyborg, beliving that it is Raedan Kitani. Forcing Rishowlmhroor to back away, Jacoreb gets quickly to hand as he begins saving what is left of Rhyley's arm as the young man loses consciousness. Meanwhile the droids are attacked by a Stormtrooper. Stopping the astromech from opening the doors to the bunker, Solo decides to try and hotwire the entrance. As Leia is shot by a stormtrooper, they cunnignly quickly get the upper hand before an AT-ST arrives.
Thinking not of her own body, but of stopping the AT-ST, Weekat Matiren gives chase and leaps onto the hind leg of the ST Walker. Clambering up as the AT-ST looks at the entrance of the bunker seemingly about to fire, she reaches the top as the hutch opens up and a Chewbaccca pops out. Surprised by what she has seen, Han Solo comes up with an idea. using Matiren to tell the bunker command that the Rebels are felling into the woods and they need assistance, Matiren comms into the command officer.
With the Ewoks and Rebels setting their trap at the entrance to the bunker, a unit of Imperials rush out and fall into the ambush. With the bunker now open Solo and Organa quickly head in along with Matiren, and the Wookiee Rishowlmhroor to lay the charges as Exao and Kaje remain to guard the Imperials they have captured. Unable to find any sign of Specialist Stary, once Solo has placed the detonators, he pulls Matiren away from her search as the rush to safety before the bunker explodes, causing a chain reaction that spreads through the entire shield generator as the deflector shield of the Death Star finally falls.
Hearing that the Fleet has engaged the Death Star, the Rebel Heroes make their way back to the Tyderium, before finally seeing the huge super weapon explode high above. As the Rebel ships regroup and the Tyderium heads up to join the fight, the remnants of the Imperial Fleet scamper and flle, leaving behind a few destroyers that still want to fight to their very last. With Ackbar at the front of their attacks, the Rebels soon quash the lasting Imperial resistance in the sector capturing three Imperial Destroyers in the process.
The battle having been one, now the Rebels begin the long process of licking their wounds and preparing for a future they have only dreamt about. With Weekat heading a group back to the Imperial Shield Generator Bunker in search of the remains of Sava Stary, Rebel High Command is gathering loyal supporters as they begin forming a new government utilising a base near the Ewok village. With Alliance Intelligence spreading word that the Empire has been defeated and the Emperor is dead, the beginnings of a new age is slowly dawning on the heroes of the Alliance.
After getting into the bunker through a crack in the superstructure, Weekat's team made its way through the smoke and debris. Only after a couple of dozens of meters inside the ruins, the group was forced to put on their breathing masks to saveguard themselves from asphyxiation. Dodging structural collapses and fires, and after a few wrong turns, they finally arrived near the bottom of the reactor core.
However, as they approached the room, the heat emanating from it was so great, that Weekat decided to toss her glove in to see how it reacted with the place. It only took a small amount of time for the radiation from the shattered core to eat away through the cloth and incinerate the remains.
Since Weekat didn't want to risk her whole team, she decided that only Exao and herself should proceed. They put on their flame retardant suits and ventured into the core room...
==Behind the Scenes==
*Gathering an Alliance was initially only to last three months, however following changes to the role-play community that it was scheduled to be part of, it was then adapted to last for six months. It was then again re-drawn, re-cut and re-written completely to coincide with the first year anniversary of the guild, RESOLUTION and as such will last for well over a year
*Though it uses a variety of canon events, the majority of the plot is written from Stargazer's Commandos point of view, detailing their own adventures whilst the Galactic Civil War rolls on
*A New Hope was written as a training type episode, with all the new members joining SGC and the Rebels, it was decided that it would easier to integrate the newer characters into the group with a slower paced episode. It would be the first major Rebel Episode for the characters Kileo Dimoh, Sava Stary, Terasa Asheeri, Cayla Dunestrider and Kaje-James Reilloc.
*Erisey Casoona wrote much of the episode, A New Hope, with Stargazer providing most of the background details and stories, including establishing the Thresh Family.
*The scene in Dearic Cantina actually came about purely by luck. It was never intended that Sava Stary would try to physically pressure the barman into helping him. The scene at the Weebi Scrapyard was also brought about by chance. The fallout from both these scenes would later be integrated into a much larger part of future plots.
*Had the group lead by Kileo Dimoh never lost their ship on entry to CorSec Investigators, then the group would never have met the Weebi Family, or seen the Weebi Scrapyard. It would also have meant that Sava Stary would never have purchased the YT-2400 Freighter, Fiery Dawn.
*With certain characters remaining on Talus during the main part of the episode, A New Hope, this group would help to form a background story for the establishment of parts of Talus and Kystes. They would also unravel glimpses of future episodes.
*The scene where the Rebels would recieve the Order of the Starbird was kept quiet from all those part of the plot. Only Stargazer knew the full details of what would happen.
*The planet Druidia, which saw the Rebels visit where they collected the medal, is a RSN-Verse planet and a Stargazer Easter Egg, and is obviously taken from the film, Spaceballs.
*The episode, Strange Signals was not initially part of the plot, however following interest from the player behind Zalena Tone, Stargazer quickly wrote an episode to allow the character to join the Rebels.
*The Hidden Foe was written by Stargazer. It uses a host of influences from a variety of different sources and mediums. Looking to deal more with subterfuge, politics and undercover threats, it takes influences from the Far East during the Han Empire and the Warring States Eras, as well as various science fiction sources from other medias. For example, the light sword Antkanai is influenced by the Katanas used by Samurai, which are also seen in the episode as Ramsuai who are sworn to protect Otoyko which was taken from Tokyo. It was also the first episode that would see the fully realised D100 system integrated properly and used fully.
*The only part of this episode that would happen no matter what, was the meeting with the Alkainians and the capture of both Princess Leia Organa and Rhyley Stargazer. Everything after this scene, would be directed solely by the players alone. It was they that decided to go to Falucio and meet Administrator Lien. 
*Whilst on Tilk's Rock, the bounty hunter, Tolkin, that would try to capture Sava Stary was only supposed to be a small scene. However due to how the players responded, this scene grew much larger, and also established the introduction of a new character for the Rebels, Meevi Tracyn. It would also witness the near death of Rhelex Jubulii.
*Though it was never realised throughout the entire episode, The Hidden Foe, by any of the Rebel characters, the Administrator Lien was actually using SGC in a bid to overthrow the Mydiao Odin. Had the group been quicker in their decisions, they would've helped Lien to stage a coup against those that were in power, and would've dragged the Rebel Alliance into a planetary civil war. Though because of the time they took, this never came to fruitition thanks to the timely death of Lien, at the hands of the Ascenion. Though this did come with a cost, as the group missed out on key gains that would've aided the Alliance and themselves in the long term future.
*The episode The Unknown Planet, was actually adapted from canon. In Star Wars Canon, Princess Leia Organa along with General Carlist Rieekan stumble across a planet by chance. In this episode, it would be SGC along with Princess Leia that would find this planet by chance, with General Rieekan later joining to help investigate the planet Arbra. 
*Shadows of the Suns was adapted from the well-known canon story, Shadows of the Empire. It was written by both Stargazer and Kaje, with Stargazer focusing on writting in key Black Sun players as well as various other possibilities as Kaje focused on establishing the story of Taia Vassic. It was later further adapted to see the first mission of the Alliance Intelligence group that would see both Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani take to the field.
*The episode however would turn out completely different to what would actually be played. The largest difference pertaining to the Rebel Intel Agents, Kileo Dimoh and Raedan Kitani, who would stumble across SGC rather than intended. This change would push the Intel Operatives into the more chaotic path rather than the subterfuge approach that was intended for them. 
*Massacre on Filve was a plot scripted mostly by Exao, with assistance from Stargazer in fine tuning the plot. It was created with the intention of explaining Exao's absence as he sat exams out-of-game. It saw the creation and destruction of Chasdy's Commandos as well the introduction of new NPCs Mimi Tarell, Tryzig Prutor and Akakrin Thairin, all of whom would be killed during the plot.
