Attack on Saponza's homestead

During the Galactic Civil War, a group of outlaws working for Jabba the Hutt attacked a homestead on the planet Tatooine, belonging to the mercenary Saponza. The homestead's autoturrets shot down all of the mercenaries, after which the majordomo Bib Fortuna contacted the mercenaries and informed them Jabba was angry in what had become a dispute.
==Prelude==
At some point between the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Hoth during the Galactic Civil War between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire, the mercenary Saponza returned after an extended period of absence to the planet Tatooine with his partner and a mercenary group. The group established a new base of operations in a homestead on the planet, where Saponza advised his partner to construct a new autoturret, since the homestead only had one.
==The attack==
After the autoturret's construction was complete, six blaster-wielding outlaws serving the Hutt crime lord Jabba arrived and attacked the homestead. The two autoturrets opened fire and swiftly gunned down all of the criminals.
==Aftermath==
Following the battle, Jabba's majordomo Bib Fortuna contacted the mercenaries via hologram and informed them that they had angered his master. Worried the powerful Hutt would mount another attack, the gang bought another construction droid and built an alloy refinery and an alloy depot. They were then asked to aid the Empire in attacking a Tusken Raider camp, and offered the opportunity to ally with the Imperials. The Alliance also contacted the mercenaries and asked for their aid in recovering medical supplies from a Hutt Cartel den on the planet Dandoran, also earning them an offer of allegiance from the Rebels. While the mercenaries were off-world aiding the Alliance, Jabba's men destroyed their homestead in vengeance for the outlaws deaths. Realizing they couldn't face Jabba alone the gang then chose to accept the Rebellions's offer.In Kekit's Databank entry, it is stated that Saponza and his partner played an integral part in the campaign that liberated a Jawa clan from the Tusken Raiders. It also states that the plan was orchestrated by Jennica Pierce of the Rebel Alliance. This scenario does not occur if the player aligns with the Empire, so it can be deduced that Saponza's gang joined the Rebellion. The mercenary gang would later work with Jabba and Fortuna in order to obtain intel on the Empire; however, the arrangement eventually broke down and conflict between Saponza's men and the Hutt's errupted once more.Star Wars: Commander, Chapter 5: Servant of Two Masters
