Kampe Campaign 10 - End of Kampe

With Admiral Natasi Daala arriving, Kampe is getting too hot to handle.

*Escape from the planet Kampe is the plan of the day as the team is down to three active members. Callen, Blaine, and Katira finish obtaining any information that they can in the time remaining, with Katira stealthily running a mysterious search of her own, and concoct a plan to get everyone off planet with two Ugnaughts and a hypnotist coming along.*

## **Previously**

*Finally arriving in the heart of the military outpost, our heroes began their search for access to Eriadu Authority intelligence that would tie Governor Parnot to operations on Kampe and enable a full response from the New Republic. Meeting droids, pilots, guards, and prisoners on their way to an access point, they managed to slice into the mainframe only to discover that the Imperial Remnant is not quite finished with the galaxy. Sander Delvardus, the Supreme General they never got to meet, has been assassinated. In his place the Admiral Natasi Daala has risen to power and united the fractured Imperial warlords that remain in the galaxy, and she is on her way to the planets surface.*

## **Recap**

### **Option Overview**

Our heroes find themselves debating a major decision. The mission they have arrived on Kampe to perform has been completed successfully, but they find that the schemes of the Eriadu Authority have been completely altered by the rise of Natasi Daala to power. They arrive at three possible options:

1. Blaine says that they should go for broke. Knowing that Admiral Daala is being transported by the two pilots that Katira traded insults with earlier, he proposes that the team replace the two pilots and kidnap or assassinate the Admiral.
2. Expressing a surprisingly more cautious route, Katira states that they have completed their mission, but more than that they are currently the only people that know of the recent changes to the Imperial Remnant structure. She proposes that they find the fastest route off planet and apprise the New Republic of the new situation.
3. Finally, Callen proposes a middle ground solution. Thinking an attempted assassination likely being a suicide mission, but hoping to bring back even more information, he says they may be able to find something of interest if they can discover the star destroyer that the scrappers from outside the compound spoke of.

> "*I agree. I know what you’re saying… you’re saying this is a bad idea. But let’s explore the subject a little bit.*"
> ― Blaine

As they discuss the options, a few searches are made into the Imperial database that the group gained access to earlier. Looking for information ranging from intel on other imperial warlords, any specifications for Sander Devardus’ super star destroyer, and anything that they can find about the fuel that is being created on the base, they download anything that they can find. As Blaine and Tek head back to meet up with the rest of the team, Katira makes one final search into the database on her own.

### **Dead Ends and Droids**

The team musters one last time in the now locked down command center before heading out, and a few final options are explored in the outpost. Blaine posits asking Elayne what she knows about the plans for a super star destroyer as those built during the time of the Galactic Empire were built by Kuat Drive Yards, and Katira wonders whether she has enough reputation with Elayne’s father to earn some assistance from Kuat Drive Yards directly. Looking into the database, it appears that the majority of materials for the construction project are being sourced by the Eriadu Authority directly to avoid spread of information, and more information may be found at the fueling stops that the group has set up.

Turning to Andruss Kane, Katira asks is he knew the real reason that he was hired by Sander Delvardus. Knowing that Delvardus was obsessed with fixing his mistress, she hoped that the hypnotist may have seen the location where she was held. A location that may be the fortress on the planet, but could be a tightly held secret of Delvardus. Unfortunately, the man knows next to nothing, having been held under guard and forced to practice his ideas on the Ugnaught prisoners for nearly 2 years.

With Kane giving no real information, Blaine returns to the prison to make good on his promise to come back for them. He attempts to find more information from them, but finds another dead end. The Ugnaughts corroborate the story that the team heard from Wilks Broadsky and Keko Natub earlier, but have a narrow vision of the goings on of the Eriadu Authority. They have been forced to rotate their time between the prison and the laboratory, and jump at the opportunity to escape with the help of the group.

> "*I just need to ask you a few questions. I’m a friend of… what were those other Ugnaughts names? I’m a friend of these other two… from the mining outpost. Look… are you two okay?*"
> ― Blaine

With no information available on the fuel that the group can find, Callen heads back out to talk with C-1PR at the entrance from the lab. He tells the droid that he needs fuel specifications and refinement data from the last two years. When the droid asks who is asking for such a large amount of information, Callen manages to convince him that it is for the VIP arriving soon and C-1PR heads back to the command center. Callen turns to follow, but is stopped by another death trooper - the same one that Tek and Blaine “convinced" he was ill earlier, now cleared for a return to duty. Callen makes short work of the situation, telling the trooper that he will take the rest of the shift and sending him back to the barracks.

Now safe in the command center with Katira & company, C-1PR is told to provide access to the main archives. The droid informs Katira that he wouldn’t have that level of access, and proceeds to comment on the negativity that Katira brings to the conversation as he downloads the fuel information requested by Callen. Waiting for the download to complete, Callen shifts gears, attempting to find alcohol in the base.

Once the downloads are completed and transferred to the team, everyone decides the next best step would be to steal the transport intended for Admiral Daala and escape, bringing the “prisoners” with them for delivery to the Admiral. They will need to act fast, however, since the pilots have just left for their briefing.

> "*What?! I don’t know any of that. I’m just here to upload data to the main computer!*"
> ― C-1PR

> "*Just keep your mouth shut on the way to the ship. I have a headache just from talking to you as much as I already have.*"
> ― Katira

> "*This is **most** unprofessional!*"

### **The Hangar Bay**

Taking the turbo lift to the upper levels, the juggernaut transport tanks that nearly discovered the group outside, the speeder bikes that they took into the area, and several other vehicles maintained by the Authority are in view. At the far end of the hangar bay, the group sees the transport prepped and standing by, with several stormtroopers milling about in between. Near the transport, an unknown person enters and motions over to one of the guards and they begin a conversation.

Katira takes the lead, approaching the stormtrooper guards and telling them that hangar patrol is being reassigned to the death troopers as a precaution after the juggernaut transports found signs of nearby insurgents on their patrols. The stormtroopers put up resistance to the idea, stating that they haven’t been informed of any such change, and Katira states that is because official communique has been changed to channel 44 for the time being. As the discussion carries on, the rest of the team manages to sneak past and board the transport without discovery.

Looking back to the entrance, Callen notices that the pilots have arrived for departure sooner than the group anticipated. Thinking fast, he sends C-1PR to talk to the pilots and verify that they have completed all pre-departure protocols. The droid offers surprisingly little resistance, and manages to hold the pilots off long enough for everyone to board the transport and hide themselves, and the stormtroopers finally acquiesce to Katira and transfer patrol of the hangar bay to the death trooper cadre.

The final person to approach the transport, Katira decides to look into the mysterious figure now arguing with the last stormtrooper. The stormtrooper states that the scavenger arrived to inquire after purchasing the recently obtained speeders in the hangar bay - something that the stormtrooper would *never consider* - and now refuses to depart. When Katira asks the scavenger how many times he has dealt with the troopers in the past, he immediately draws a slug thrower pistol and blows a hole clean through the troopers head.

### **Escape**

Pulling their helmet off, the scavenger is revealed to be none other than Solo Mon. The Charlie Team leader states that he sent the rest of his team to scout another outpost that they found on the planet. Worried about the status of his team members Skids McDougal and Taz Solana, Solo Mon doubled back to the outpost alone to determine the groups status and assist in any way possible. When asked whether they accomplished transmitting to the New Republic and why the team didn’t remain at the Alpha Team transport ship, he states that when they came to the rendezvous point there was simply no ship there at all.

Though she has *so many* more questions, Katira recognizes that the pilots will be arriving at the transport soon. Helping Solo Mon hide the body of the very dead stormtrooper, the two board the ship and stow away with the rest of the team.

The two Eriadu Authority pilots board the transport and head directly to the cockpit. Departure codes are verified, clearance is given, and a transmission is sent to their docking location stating that they are due for arrival in 20 minutes. With the ship free from the outpost and transmitting to space, Blaine and Callen approach the cockpit stealthily and stun the pilots. A minor malfunction occurs when Blaine’s shot also hits some of the ships controls, releasing the landing gear, but the seasoned smuggler quickly repairs the issue. Once the ship breaks atmosphere and is clear of the Kampe gravity well, the group changes course and activates the hyperdrive to escape without any issue.
