Prelude to Liberation of Kashyyyk - Rescue on Trandosh I

*After being approached by a mysterious information broker, Blaine Hansom rounds up allies to help him rescue Talcoborro who had gone missing.*

## **Previously**

In between missions, Talcoborro took some time off his duties to visit his family and relatives, attempting to sneak back onto an occupied Kashyyyk with his sister, Kaimitscoborro, taking over his life debt to Blaine Hansom. However, Tal never made it home and a number of other notable wookiees have gone missing.

In his despair, he visits Gulrag's Bar on Ord Mantell for a drink when he is approached by a mysterious stranger.

## **Recap**

### **Back at Gulrag's**

Slumped down at Gulrag's Bar on Ord Mantell while Kaimitscoborro watches the ship, a blue-skinned hand taps Blaine Hansom on the shoulder.

*"Are you Blaine Hansom?" He asks.*
*"Who wants to know?" Blaine responds groggily, with liquor on his breath.*
*"Clean yourself up," the stranger remarks. "I can help you find your friend."*
*Snapping to attention, Blaine throws a few credits to Gulrag. "What are we waiting for?"*
*The stranger speaks again: "We're going to need a little help to pull this off."*

### **I'm Putting Together a Crew. Again.**

Putting the word out that Talcoborro had been found and that they needed a crew for his rescue, Blaine Hansom was able to recruit Barrett Wallace, who was training on Naboo, Bota Zi, who had been minding the New Republic Bounty Hunters' Guild, and Genos Ia'danian, who had been on a space station orbiting Fondor.

As the group forms, they are attacked on the space station by a rogue group of trandoshan mercenaries. Easily defeating them, they soon realize that these trandoshans work work for the Trandoshan Slaving Guild.

The rest of the trandoshans flee, and following them, Senomar deduces that they're returning to their headquarters on Trandosha I, or Akoshissssis, in their native tongue.

Originally settled by Trandoshans, Trandosha I is in the Mytaranor Sector – the same sector containing Trandosha Prime and Kashyyyk. The moon of Akoshissssis has been mainly used for transporting slaves by Trandoshans, however in 6 BBY the Empire took over and claimed it as their own. Under the Empire, several new stations were built and the slavery operation overhauled to meet with Imperial standards.

### **Assault on Trandosha I**

To move forward with the mission, they disguise *The Jinxed Starhawk* by adding on several rectennas and painting the ship striped blue and white, Senomar also provides them with false papers and clearance… but also warns it wouldn’t hold up under strong scrutiny.

Landing on the platform, the plan becomes to bluff their way as long they can. Seeing an odd sight - Imperials and Trandoshans working alongside each other - Blaine was able to talk their way through the first round of guards and managed to get the prison cells holding the captured Wookiees, but on the way out, Genos and Bota took control of the situation. Blasting and parrying every shot, they took out nearly the entire operation. The party even had time to steal a couch from the main lobby on the way out, which has sat in the cargo area of *The Jinxed Starhawk* since.

Onboard the *Starhawk* and another captured ship piloted by wookiees, all of the hostages they needed to rescue, including Talcoborro, were safe, which meant in the larger scale of things, Kashyyyk was ready for liberation.
