The **Incursion on Aztubek** (920 ABY)was a minor conflict and the attempt at a search and rescue operation for the missing Jedi Master Aeacus Windu. Upon receiving word from Aeacus regarding his whereabouts, Jedi Master Darren Edermath and Jedi Padawans Damon Black and Devron Shire set out to rescue Aeacus as soon as possible, requesting the aid of "some old friends"

As the Jedi party arrived at Aztubek, they were faced with two Mandalorian cruisers. The old friends opted to disable them, ensuring that the Jedi could travel to the surface of Aztubek safely using the Dhôshalo. After arriving at the surface, the Jedi party succesfully located and rescued Aeacus, meeting minimal resistance.

### **Receiving Word of a Missing Jedi**

During a meeting between Darren and Damon, Damon's communicator activated and received a call from Aeacus. Upon accepting the call, Darren and Damon came to the conclusion that Aeacus was in grave danger. While Damon wished to rush to Onderon, Darren reminded him that "*ignorance, yet knowledge.*", opting to hear Aeacus out. Aeacus proved to be on Aztubek, having crashlanded after being attacked by two Mandalorian cruisers. Darren, knowing that time was of the essence, called for the help of some old friends, stating that "he owed them a favour after helping them during a crisis."

## **History**

### **Naval "skirmish" above Aztubek**

Upon arriving at Aztubek, the crew of the vessel they arrived in was surprised to find that only two Mandalorian cruisers were present. Opting to disable them rather than destroy them, the craft engaged the two cruisers at max range in order to keep them at bay.

While this was happening, the Jedi party rushed to the surface in the Dhôshalo, piloted by Damon.

### **Search and Rescue**

As the Jedi party arrived on the surface, they discovered that a large section of the forest in their surroundings was lit on fire. Darren, wishing to prepare the two Padawans for smoke, fire and the obviously present flamethrowers, urged the Jedi to use mind control and to dodge the arcs of flamethrowers as much as they could, stating that barriers could redirect the flames for some time, but that that would not last forever. Upon meeting their first Mandalorian crusader, Darren provided a distraction while Damon and Devron pushed ahead to find Aeacus faster.

### **Darren's Distraction**

Rushing to get in clear view of the Mandalorian crusader, Darren sought to draw attention to himself while manipulating the smoke around him to conceal Damon and Devron's escape. The crusader quickly engaged the Jedi, vowing to limit his movements by setting his surroundings on fire. Using the Force, Darren redirected the projections of the crusader's flamethrower away from him, but had difficulty moving and breathing due to the large amounts of smoke. The crusader swapped to blasters, but found his bolts easily deflected. As the crusader used explosive devices to eliminate the Jedi Master, Devron returned to the scene and returned these explosive devices to sender, knocking the Mandalorian out of the fight.

### **Regroup and Extraction**

Damon and Aeacus, having succesfully overcome their enemy, eventually regrouped with Devron and Darren. On their way back to the Dhôshalo, Damon and Devron supported Aeacus whilst Darren carried a Mandalorian prisoner.

Upon returning to the craft that originally carried the Dhôshalo, the Jedi party discovered that the Mandalorian cruisers were disabled and that the crew of the vessel had already called "for the Republic to claim their victory". This confused Damon and Aeacus, as they had considered the craft to be part of the Republic navy.

With the succesful recovery of Aeacus, the Jedi party used the Dhôshalo to return to Jedha, seperating themselves from the rogue faction which had aided them.
