Dark Forces Chapter 3 (summary)

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...
Outcasts Chapter IX
Dark Forces Chapter III

The Jedi have declared themselves to be a
Republic which stands against the Imperial Alliance!
Many systems have joined this new Jedi Republic,
including the surviving forces of the UFP.

The war against the evil Jawajuice Corporation has ended
and its leader, Nemo, is in Imperial prison. However, many factions
now contest for control of the remaining droid forces.

Dark Forces squad has been sent to Dantooine to negotiate
the return of their former squad member Calren from the Jedi...

#### **The Negotiations Were Short**

The squad were flying to Dantooine on their ship. Gen briefed them on their mission: find Calren and rescue him without endangering the fragile peace between the IA and the new Jedi Republic. They decided that they would try to negotiate his return first. Their newest squad member, D'ral volunteered to be in charge of the negotiations while Noname and Greggle hacked into the city databases and Stan and Gen asked around. D'ral was met by Sharr Eck, the young boy from Jakku who the squad had helped previously. The squad had hoped to rescue him as well, but he had become a Jedi Padawan and was clearly very happy there so D'ral decided not to risk anything. Sharr showed him around the Jedi Temple as a 'tour'. Sharr didn't seem to know who Calren was when he was asked.
When the squad met back up to discuss their findings, Gen was suddenly shocked by a passerby who then ran off. The squad gave chase, but drawing their weapons attracted the attention of the local police and they ran back to their ship. Noname showed them a datapad he had picked up from their attacker, which contained a map of several planets. They clearly came to the conclusion that the map was a trap, but when fighters appeared from Dantooine to pursue them, they decided they had no choice but to check out the planets in case there was something useful there...

#### **Planetary Adventures**

The first planet the squad visited was Scarif, where they explored for a while until they found some bones which looked suspiciously humanoid. Readying their weapons, they continued until they found a Twi'lek who warned them not to come any closer due to a mysterious monster which had been eating his companions. Ignoring his advice, Gen approached him, but the Twi'lek ran off before they could ask him any further questions. Suddenly a shape moved very quickly in the forest around them. It moved so quickly they struggled to keep their weapons aimed at it. Suddenly it came out into the open, appearing to be a Jawa, but suddenly it grew larger and attacked the squad. They fired at the shapeshifter, but their shots appeared to only annoying it, so they ran back towards their ship. The shapeshifter moved to block their path however, so they were instead forced to run further away from their ship. At one point the shapeshifter grabbed D'ral but Gen shot a nearby tree causing it to collapse on the shapeshifter, freeing D'ral.
The shapeshifter chased Gen after that, separating her from the rest of the squad. She managed to run back to their ship but before she could board it the shapeshifter caught and grabbed her. Suddenly, Stan appeared and wrestled the beast off her, but it quickly overpowered him. With no choices left, Gen threw a grenade, which knocked the shapeshifter back, and it lay motionless apparently dead. Fortunately Stan had survived, and the rest of the squad appeared so they carried Stan on board the ship and left, just as the shapeshifter began stirring...

#### **A Mysterious Facility**

The squad next visited an agricultural planet which they had to navigate through an asteroid belt in order to reach. When they landed they were all on edge, and so were taken off-guard by the politeness of the natives. One of the natives agreed to show them to their "secret room" after mentioned a mysterious deal which had apparently been reached between them and the Dman. They entered the secret room through a hidden entrance in the bar, and traveled through a long tunnel until they reached an open area with many tanks and boxes. The squad 'inspected' the boxes, but their questions about what exactly was in the boxes went unanswered. At one point, their guide stopped them and asked them to leave any weapons behind because the 'security system' might detect them as a threat, and they grudgingly complied.
Finally, they stopped in a small control room where their guide gave them a datapad. They tried to read the datapad, but their guide insisted that they leave before doing so, and lead them back the way they came. At the entrance, a mystery man attacked Noname and grabbed the datapad from him before running at unnatural speed. They saw him just long enough to recognize him as the man who had attacked them on Dantooine. The squad gave chase but he got away. Thinking quickly, Gen ordered them back to their ship, hoping to pursue the mystery thief in space, however when they exited the atmosphere there was no sign of any ship. Suddenly they received a transmission from Zakuul - the Dman wanted Gen to report to him in person, giving no reasons why. Gen said her goodbyes to the squad and left them to continue their mission and investigation...

#### **Kamino: An Uninvited Tour**

With Stan taking over as leader, flew to Kamino and continued their search. They landed near a facility and went inside but Stan was seperated from the rest of the crew by the enterance being blocked. The rest continued. They found a room with books, potions and a computer. They went into another room inside where they found a computer listing various titles referring to past cloning attempts. They tried to get out but the door was somehow jammed and locked but they heard footsteps and someone doing something outside. Meanwhile, Noname downloads all of the data they didnt look at from the computer into a datapad. Eventually the door is unlocked and they get out and see that the person had stolen some stuff. They see him and chance him and run into a lab of clones in tubes. The glasses break and the cloaked figure escapes. Some of the clones burst out and start attacking them. The clones were hard to fight and were very skilled. First they fought one clone and even that was hard, so when 10 more break out the squad resorts to escape. Stan contacts them and tells them that he found a 2nd exit. They rush outside but first, before leaving, they decide to blow up the facility and shut it down for good. They take detonators and place them around inside the facility and quickly enter their ship. While the facility blows up from the inside, they decide to make sure it gets destroyed and use their ships rockets at the facility and leave the system as it explodes. Back on the ship, the squad was confused as to what was going on but they didn't leave empty handed. The squad set up to learn how the cloaked figure and the latest planets they've been on, tie together...

#### **The Droid Strikes Back**

Squad decided to rest their ship on Jakku as they were running low on fuel. They investigated around and found many dead bodies, either shot or slashed with a saber or some even crushed to bones. They wondered what could've done this when suddenly a 4 armed droid attacked. It remembered the squad, as this was the JK-7 droid that had gone rogue. It was about to kill a jawa but then it was distracted by the squad. The Jawa quickly snuck into the ship as they were fighting the JK-7. It was a long battle and they decided they couldn't beat it, so they decided to use their last fuel to jump to Awerica. Before they could all get on, JK-7 grabbed D'Ral and stomped him. The rest could do nothing as they just jumped the ship to Awerica. This mission had taken a members life, things were getting more serious than they had hoped. They landed on Awerica and the Jawa that had snuck on their ship got out. Stan asked if the Jawa had a group that could lend them fuel. The Jawa agreed, as they had saved his life. So they went to the sandcrawler and aquierd fuel to their ship. They saw Calren's home nearby and wondered if his family knew anything. They went and asked but it seems they knew nothing what-so-ever and only wished for Calren to come back safely. Squad came back to their ship only to find a datapad stuck to it. It was yet another datapad with a map with specific planets picked out. However, it was a larger pool of planets with specific landing zones. With no other choice, they picked a planet to go into. It could've been a trap but they had no other ideas, so they only hoped they do not lose another member. They flew first to Yavin...

#### **Yavin: The Abandoned Temple**

Squad landed at the location and it wasn't long before they approached a temple but it was guarded by trandoshans. They had guessed it was an abandoned temple and trandoshans were scavengers, as there was an old and rusty anti-air cannon, so they took and proceeded inside of the temple. The trandoshans were armed well, so they decided to be stealthy with most of their encounters. They cleared the temple but found nothing so got out and started to walk about to their ship. They saw more thugs but not trandoshans. They took them out and came back to their ship, only to encounter an AT-ST, presumably stolen by the gang. The AT-ST shot down and exploded the squads ship, damaging Greggle and Stan who were standing nearby but was taken down by Noname sabotaging it. Stan searched for what still remains of the ship and took whatever he could, including the datapad with the map and a bacta. He was about to inject himself but gave it to Greggle instead. Noname tried to contact Imperials to get them out but their comms were damaged. They were stuck there until they could find a ship.
They found two thugs talking about mining materials to become rich and how their boss would soon take over Nar Shaddaa. They took them out and took comms from them and Noname gathered the coordinates of their base from the boss in the comms, as he was more experienced in these things. Thinking they were probably in the slave trade, Noname wanted to stop them and the squad agreed. They went to the coordinates and found another temple, guarded by more thugs, which they defeated. Inside were sword duelers, who injured Stan and Greg but were easily taken out by Noname, who was clearly skilled in sword combat. They saw a ship get off, they had missed their ride but they heard a comms that a twi'lek dropped speaking. The gang members and their boss were discussing how they'll set up an orbital spacestation with weapons and that another ship was coming in an hour. Squad knew they were waiting for a ship, so in the mean time, they wanted to make sure that this criminal gang didn't get away with their plan. So they seeked out to destroy these weapons...

#### **Getting Reequipped**

Squad set a trap for the arriving forces on Yavin to collect their materials. When they came they set it off and blew up and quickly ran to the ship that was parked near a mountain. Squad managed to hack the control of the ship and set off. They rested for a bit, as Stan turned ship to Zakuul. Greggle found and tried to hack an IG unit in the ship to help them out but it detected and set to self destruct, so Noname and Stan quickly flushed it out of the ship before it exploded. They landed on Zakuul and requested new equipment along with extra gear for different stats suchs as snow gear. Stan asked to talk to Dman about the datapad but the Imperial Commander told them he was busy and simply took the datapad to talk himself. He came back telling squad that they were told to keep continuing their mission, so they hopped on to their newer and better suited ship and set out to their next location, Hoth.

#### **Hoth: Echo Base**

Squad landed on land and quickly got on to Tauntauns, going forward. They faced a few wampas but they weren't hard to beat, as they died from blaster shots and squad was good at landing shots. They soon saw light posts and realized they led to small camps with thugs camping them, wearing old snow armors. Why were the thugs here? Who sent them? Squad was finding out. As they went forward they faced alot more thugs than they thought they would. Soon, they found Echo Base, guarded with alot more thugs including a walker vehicle. They sneaked behind and entered through a second enterance. Inside they learned from thugs chatting that this was a mercenary gang. They were sent to find something but not even they were told what it exactly was. Squad continued, taking down everyone. Greggle found a droid and thought it would be a good idea to get the footage of what it saw, as it could have clues to what was going on. Then they were attacked by some differently dressed thug. He had a name tag, "Orez Bus" with a weird symbol beside it. Squad took the name tag. They continued until they overheard two more thugs talking about how this whole thing was pointless and whatever they were looking for wasn't here, so they would be pulling out. Squad cleared everyone and was about to return, but they got attacked by someone with a lightsaber, presumably a Jedi. The Jedi didn't expect them to be there and squad easily took care of him, injuring him. They took the Jedi along with them, returning to their ship. They quickly returned to Zakuul and handed the Jedi off to custody.

#### **Finding the Merc Gang**

Squad discussed on what this mercenary gang was doing on Hoth, they decided to find out and get info instead of continuing with the map blindly. Stan searched the symbol Imperial Data and found that their leader was named "Rasefo Matofa". Noname recalled the name, mentioning he was a lone bounty hunter but then presumably got the money and made his own gang now. They went to Nar Shaddaa as Noname knew people there that could help him find. When they landed, Noname went alone, saying his friends were paranoid. He came back half an hour later with the info that Matofa was nearby. They went to the bar he was in and went into his room and Noname asked for a "job" but also made up a turf leader and told as if Orez Bus had done damage to their turf. Matofa seemed to not care and told them to beat it unless they wanted the job. Noname asked how much Matofa would pay and Matofa told them it was 1000 per day. So they "accepted" the job. They planned a way to capture Matofa so they sabotaged and blew up a part of their base, tricking Matofa and "helped" him escape. Then they captured him and interrogated him in their ship. He revealed that a cloaked guy had paid him to find some data or a drawing in Hoth and that if he found it, he would be paid alot more, making him the richest mercenary and gang leader in the galaxy. Squad considered that Jedi might possibily be behind this as everyone kept mentioning "cloaked guy". They delivered him to Imperial custody and continued their mission. Next stop: Kejim.

#### **Kejim: The Old Refinery**

When the squad arrived, they saw people with old Stormtrooper armor. They took them out and as they had guessed, they thugs hiding under the armor, not actual Imperials. They infiltrated the facility and faced even more thugs with Stormtrooper armor. They saw a data holder that required 3 red, blue and green colored codes to activate, so they went around looking for it. Greggle hacked into a panel and it revealed that the place was used for cortosis mining in the Remnant days. Then they found a signal transmitter and Greggle hacked into the previous recordings, revealing that the plan was to make it look like they were officials in control of the building. As Noname had thought, this wasn't a well thought plan, any official wouldn't be tricked by this. They found the 3 codes and took the data, returning to their ship. The data revealed that the thugs they fought were a part of "Widowmaker" and that they were taking control of the building to build it up as their base. However, how this was connected to the other planets was unknown. Squad then decided to visit the next map on the list, Dagobah.

#### **Dagobah: The Mysterious Forest**

Squad landed in Dagobah and not too long after, they found a ship that belonged to the Jedi Republic. Noname sneaked in and copied whatever data was on the ship and squad continued exploring, seeing a building ruins. They went in and saw some Republic troopers, so they sneaked past them, only silently knocking them out when necessary. They saw a Jedi and listened to him, as he talked about capturing someone that was supposedly hiding. He the noticed the squad and tried to run but Stan and Greggle caught him. He pushed them off and triend to fend squad and fight them but squad was already experienced in fighting jedi, so the Jedi was taken down with no problems. They tried to interrogate him, he looked scared and looked behind them, almost as if looking at someone but no one seemed to be there. He then took out his saber and stabbed him, as he didn't want to fall into a fate worse than death, in his own words. Squad, with nothing left to do, started walking to ship but they spotted an old rodian just sitting beside the door. They thought he was a Republic official but he declined, saying he had nothing to do with Jedi and in fact he was the one they were looking for. Greggle's engineer droid, Prolon, proved this by scanning him and revealing information. It was Val Tor, who was wanted by the Republic for "treason". He told them that the Jedi had decided it was now illegal to be a force user and not be in the Jedi Order. Noname was confused and asked if he needed any help. Val Tor denied and told them to continue their journey and just went to rest. Squad left the temple and returned to their ship...

#### **Trouble from Makeb**

After a night of rest, squad read the data that Noname had gotten from the Republic ship. It confirmed about Val Tor being the one Jedi were looking for on Dagobah but more importantly, had a message sent to ship asking if they had found "va fing". Stan searched the the name on Imperial Database but it brought nothing at all. They needed to know what "va fing" was. Noname thought that maybe his friend from Makeb would know, so they took the risk and ventured there but they found nothing. While returning to ship, a twi'lek assassin attacked the group. She was skilled, trapping Stan and almost beating Noname but they got her and put her in a cell and left the atmosphere of the planet.
Noname mentioned that some cloaked person was appearing in Nar Shaddaa and went to an assassin guild called "Heaven's Devils". Normally, they would shoot anyone they don't know on sight but his friend watched a cloaked woman enter the room and heard blaster shots. They slowly decreased and when they stopped, the woman entered the boss' office. When she left, the friend tried to track her down but now all she remembers after that is waking up on the street with pain on hear head. Most importantly, the Heaven's Devils completely packed up and left after this had happened. He had gotten a list of organizations that were in contact with the cloaked person. Noname added that he wouldn't be surprised if they saw them on the planets from the datapad. They knew the twi'lek assassin would be awake by now, so Noname went to interrogate her. She barely talked and almost revealed nothing so Noname threathened her to being sold to slavery. In response, she threathened Noname that they had bombs around the ship. Something started beeping behind her, but then it stopped. When it did, a ship was shooting at them. Noname realized that her friends or guild had tracked them. Noname and Greg went to turrets to help out Stan take the enemy ship down. When it took enough damage, it went down towards a planet. Squad decided to take the risk that it may lead to their source...

#### **Meeting the Assassins**

Squad followed the ship into Utapau, in which they encountered guards but took care of them quickly. They found a door with panels nearby. It was heavily guarded and had alot of security measures, even more so than a typical Imperial base. Squad took care no problem and went in. Inside the base, they saw the Matriartch, which Noname recognized. Noname sneaked in and held her hostage, demanding answers. She explained that they wanted them dead, nobody hired them, as they didn't want to be seen by anyone. They were a secret group that wanted to be free from any of the galactic governments and didn't want to be involved with the slave trade.. They were in Kejim because someone had offered them the place and money for it if they had given any data inside. She asked squad to keep silent about their existance, squad promised and freed their captive from their ship. Squad went to the signal transmitter on their base to track down who was taking the data but it was randomly cut short. With no other clues squad returned to continuing their mission.

#### **Tython: Two Moons, Two Buildings**

Squad landed in the middle of two buildings and the place was being searched up by mercenaries. Squad took care of them and fought a Jedi, which Stan managed to kill with his bare hands, then Noname took it's cloak. As Stan searched the other building Noname and Greggle stayed to search the one they fought the Jedi in. Noname was suddenly pulled out of the building and attacked. Greggle went to help but saw no one, until he was surprise attacked by a someone in red and blue robes. He was about to hit Noname but Greggle slashes at him and he got hurt, he avoided their attacks and vanished into the bushes. This repeated for a bit, Noname and Greggle attacking as the robed person appeared and vanished, until he gave up and left. Squad came out with nothing yet again, the situation was looking dire...

#### **Ilum: The Crystal Cave**

Squad landed on Ilum and not long after they encountered two Jedi, presumably a master and a padawan. They were talking about kyber crystals and the padawn cracked a crystal using the force to use it for their lightsaber. They knocked them down, took the crystal and continued and found another master and padawan. The padawan was bothering his master about what he had heard of them looking for some location. Master denied these claims and told him to move on with his training so the padawan left elsewhere. Noname decided to use the Jedi cloak he took and went to talk with the Jedi Master. He asked about "Va Fing" but the Master apparently knew next to nothing, so he was taken down before he got too suspicious. They moved on and found a temple guarded by 2 jedi, one armored. Squad faced the armored Jedi and it was a hard fight as they took injuries and then the other Jedi came in to interfere. Stan and the armored Jedi fell down to a lower platform as Greggle and Noname faced and took down the other Jedi. They went forward inside to the temple and looked around. They saw a box filled with crystals but they suddenly heard a robotic voice and turned around. It was the JK-7 they faced on Jakku but it had not spotted them yet. It was cutting the crystals around and seemed to have an addiction of collecting kyber crystals and sabers. It went and took the box but then it spotted Greggle and Noname running outside. Noname had a plan, he planted detonators and blew them up on the pillars. They fell on the droid and the enterance to the temple was closed off. Stan arrived back with squad, having beaten the armored Jedi. With nothing left, they returned to their ship.

#### **Alzoc III: The Arctic Base**

As Noname had his "lockpick" saber crystal changed with the green one he took, Stan had a look at the list of people who were spotted with "cloaked person" that Noname gave him. He saw the Arctic Avengers there, which the Imperial Database said that they had a base in Alzoc III and surprise, surprise, Alzoc III was the next location in the list. They landed but the guards there seemed to be careless, only ever shot squad when they saw them right in front of their nose. Squad easily took care of them and went through the base but suddenly, they encountered a Jedi that was waiting at a hangar of sorts. He didn't look so surprised to see squad. They fought him and it was a tough battle but the Jedi was outmatched by the 3. They continued and found someone called Rallih Nitloc. She apparently worked for the Arctics but she didn't seem hostile, just didn't want to tell much there. She had apparently helped them settle in this base so the squad arrested her and exported her out of there...

#### **Socorro: Smugglers Hangout**

Squad delivered Nitloc to Imperial custody and continued their mission, choosing Socorro. It was apparently a favorite location for Smuggler, which interested Noname. They landed in what appeared to be a wasteland between buildings, which Noname mentioned is that organizations would hide in places like these. They entered a building which had alot of smugglers, merecenaries and other thugs in the market hanging out, even an old droid that was rotting. They were given a card by a twi'lek girl, which offered a job from some gang for payment. They continued forward but were stopped by guards, who told them that people who wanted to talk there in secret could go in and that it was how the business worked. They left to think of how to get in but not long before, a cloaked person came and did a hand gesture and got in freely. They clearly understood it was a Jedi who pulled a mind trick. Noname went up to the guards and argued against them for freely letting in some guy and how that was bad for their business. Everyone else heard this in the hangout room and a whole arguement erupted and squad took the chance to sneak in. They then saw a Jedi and someone else, supposedly a smuggler, making a deal but before they could learn more, the Jedi had sensed their presence and ended the talk, leaving. Squad went down the elevator as they left but were countered by some mercs and a twi'lek assassin. They beat them but Stan had a sword stab on his shoulder, bleeding badly. Greggle tried to help him with bacta but it wasn't of much use. Stan quickly patched it up messily and continued, the injury looked terrible. They saw a hologram projection of a canister somewhere, they thought to take the data but couldn't reach it. Noname told Greggle to use his tongue to grab it, and he did. With some data from mercs, they left from the back enterance, leaving quickly...

#### **Stan Stabbed in the Trapezius**

Stan tried to patch his injury up as best as he can in the medical room of the ship but it was no help. He couldn't do much and he was using up too much of their stock. Stan wanted to keep going and not waste time but Noname told him to stop and just rest. Stan didn't want to waste time but Noname told him that they needed to decrypt the datacard they got anyways so they had time. He tried to resist but eventually, the injury was too bad so he decided to rest as they flew to Coruscant as it had the nearest Imperial medical facility. Noname had lied, the card was not decrypted. They landed and Stan got treatment for a few hours by Doctor Smith and his assitant. and afterwards they restocked and returned to their ship. They loaded the datacard to Prolon and it projected the hologram. It looked like some sort of canister with fluids and some unidentifiable objects inside, it was supposedly a blueprint. Noname guessed that it might be a blueprint for a chemical bomb and suggested to send it to Imperial engineers to check. They sent it and also received information that was gathered from interrogating Nitloc but it wasn't much use to their mission. She had apparently willingly joined the Artics but started to regret it. They were visited by Jedi that was shot at by the Arctics but he sneaked into the hangar and told Nitloc to keep silent about them. With no much else to do, squad continued and picked a next location: Bastion.

#### **Bastion: The Former Remnant**

Squad landed on Bastion and started exploring. They saw some people in Stormtrooper and Republic clothing. They explained to them that they were an old commune, they have been fighting and were stationed there for decades but when they realized that they have nothing to fight for anymore and no way out of the planet, they had stopped fighting and deserted, just scavengimh their old remains to live in the planet. Squad was warned however that some people "wearing rebel clothing" had come and taken over a former Imperial temple.
The squad continued and spotted Republic troopers, guarding a temple. They took them out carefully and saw what they thought to be a Jedi Starship, which Noname quickly took possible info from. They continued heard two people talking inside from the temple door. Apparently someone had made some sort of deal with the Republic. When they bursted inside, it was a Stormtrooper with a Republic trooper, the Stormtrooper looking exactly like the ones outside, apparently he had not deserted and along with some more, as the squad was about to see. They fought a Republic swordsman next but they met a deadend, the rest of the temple was blocked by a rubble and trashed. They walked back out and Noname discovered a secret door to an elevator, going into a lower base. They went in and found more Republic troops and a few more Stormtroops, clearing them out easily. They entered a room with one Imperial probe droid, supposedly the rest were supposed to be there but were already used up. They went into another room, holding some sort of red force artifact and a big library of more force related data. They spotted a Jedi behind it who immedieatly tried to attack them but he was untrained and lost easily. They decided to take the artifact later and continued, finding themselves in a prison room with 3 Imperials in cells, who they rescued. They were apparently sent here for checking and patrol but were immedieatly captured by the Republic troopers for interrogation. They were met with company by Stormtroopers patroling the area and they quickly got out, encountering a bunch of Republic troopers, who were taken out easily but they saw the Jedi Starship take off, after which an AT-ST started attacking. Noname tried to hijack it along with Stan who tried to use their concussion rifle to take it down but he couldn't hit all the time but eventually he landed enough shots to blow it up.
With the area clear, the 3 Imperials suggested calling in Imperial reinforcements but the squad decided to just evac and take the force artifact with them to examine it...

#### **Orinda: Republican City**

The Imperials were dropped off at a nearby Imperial facility as Squad chose the next planet, Orinda. However, It was a Republic owned city, so they had to be careful and not alert anyone. They noticed that it was a populated city with civillians and Jedi. Walking around, they see a building guarded. Knowing they had to get at least some kind of info, they decide to infiltrate. They find a back enterance requiring keycards. Noname steals one from the front guard but not being able to find the other, Greggle replicates the code on the keycard, allowing Noname to use it and slice in. They get in and secretly take the guards out and go upstairs. They find a computer but are surprise attacked by a Jedi, which they then take out. They decide to copy whats on the computer but it runs slow and Republic guards were approaching. With Greggle's help, they download it faster and hide as the guards come and then get out of the building quickly.

#### **Orinda, Part II: Looting the Warehouse**

They notice another well guarded building and ask the guard what it is. The guard tells them that it is a Republic personel only warehouse but accidentally slips that there may be Jedi related items in there. Squad decide that it's worth the risk and sneak in through the window and steal 8 various colored gems, 1 crystal and a scepter. They go out the front door, knocking out the guards and make their way out. They see a Jedi that happens to sense the scepter. Stan hides with it behind a tree as Noname distracts him. Stan sneaks unnoticed back to ship and the Jedi leaves, confused as to what he sensed. They leave their loot at the ship and check out a base that Stan had spotted. Greggle goes in with Prolon's disguise ability and Noname uses his Jedi robes and the two sneak in as Stan waits. They sneak in through the roof, taking down and hiding a few guards. They try to listen and gather data but a Chiss Jedi appears and gets suspicious. They leave out of the building and the Jedi appears in front of them. As Noname looks at him, he gets a headache and suddenly out of nowhere, a guard or worker falls from the roof. Injured, the Jedi proceeds to heal him. As Greggle's disguise starts to run out they decide not to risk it more and pull back to ship. While on the way back they see Bison talking with a Republican officer, on a job to go and find a datacard that was taken from Socorro. This makes Stan angry and asks why Noname made Bison go and become a mercenary with low standards but Noname defended himself in that he only suggested he work in Nar Shaddaa, not that he would work for Republic or ask no questions. Squad returns to ship, hoping not to encounter Bison...

#### **Back in Tahori's Territory**

From the data they gathered on Orinda, they learn that the Republic was gathering chemicals around the galaxy for whatever the blueprint they had previously found was. They had notes from "Dr. Nyong" which told what these chemicals were. They had already taken what was from Chuayna, Kejim and Kamino but they had to find more from Nar Shaddaa, Tatooine and Yavin 4. Squad first went to Nar Shaddaa, thinking it would be easiest to gather. Stan decided to stay at ship to rest a bit and that Noname and Greggle could handle negotiations better than him. They went forward but at the enterance, saw the same robed Jedi they saw at Tython, who quickly speeded away. Some thugs were looking however and they couldn't just take their speeders in front of them. Greggle set Prolon to project a twi'lek dancer and trick the weak minded thugs and as the thugs were distracted Noname and Greggle took the speeders. Unfortunately, Prolon's projection shuttered and thugs realized it was a trick and disabled it with an EMP shot, taking it for themselves and to sell it to Mr. Tahori. Greggle wanted his droid back, so he split from Noname and went to search for it. Noname finds the Jedi and follows him around in secret, seeing him talk to other people and taking advantage of his force powers. Meanwhile, Greggle finds a Tahori thug with Prolon and stabs him with his sword, which both the Jedi and Noname see. Greggle takes Prolon and walks back to ship. Eventually the Jedi gets to a Tahori thug and offers catching the one that killed their men and stole the droid, which they accept. Noname tries to contact and warn Greggle but the Jedi finds Greggle and knocks him out quickly. A droid arrives and takes Prolon and tells the Jedi he is free to do as he wishes with the body. The Jedi spares Greggle but takes everything he had, including his weaponry and credits. Noname slices the Tahori droid to make it look like the Jedi did it. Jedi takes Prolon to bring it himself.

#### **Old Friend... Or Foe?**

The Jedi goes back to the bar and meets with Podgon after giving back the droid. Podgon asks what he wants and he says that he wants the Galulag that Tahori owns. Podgon asks how much he is offering, to which the Jedi answers 200000 and Podgon is surprised. He gets Tahori permission and sends the Jedi to the back of the bar where his ship is. Meanwhile, Podgon is given a disc and told that it contains every data The Jedi is met with Bespredel Chernyaga who is there to make the deal. The Jedi gives out less than he actually promised, to which Bespredel counts and gets annoyed at and asks for the full price. Jedi secretly pulls the credits from the thugs unnoticed and pays that up so they start loading the Galulag to his ship. Noname gives Greggle a tracker and Greggle jumps high and throws it at Jedi ship. Jedi then leaves the planet and Noname sneaks into Podgon's home and looks for Prolon and the datadisc. He finds Prolon but not the disc and panics but with nothing else to do they return to their ship. On ship Noname tells Stan everything that happened and Stan gets mad but realizing they don't have a way to resolve this and after Noname comforts him that Podgon is a friend and wouldn't do anything bad against them, they all accept and decide to move on, hoping that the worst doesn't happen. Unfortunately for them, they are intercepted by Bison, who had already figured out they took the datacard from Socorro. Noname asks if he knows what he is working for, to which Bison answers "No questions asked". Noname tells him he has low standards but Bison disagrees, that there are no standards in this galaxy. Not wanting trouble, Noname sends a copy of the datacard and Bison leaves. They are all dissapointed and sad about what has become of Bison. They get back to their mission and look at where Jedi is but it seems that he is paranoid about being followed and is staying at Nar Shaddaa. So, knowing they have time, they decide to go to Tatooine.

#### **These Are Different Types of Trade**

When they land on Tatooine, they see some sort of building with a crack through it. Wondering what it's about they sneak past the guards and get in. Stan copies the info on the datapads and Noname sees some jawas and a scavenger. Noname lets them go free, believing they are of no threat. They get out and saw a trader, which they bought off some supplies from and also sold 2 of the gems they took from Orinda in turn for a pink gem, known as Sarugan. decide to split to find what they need, so Stan went on his own. Noname and Greggle entered into a show of sorts into an arena, where they saw a rancor eating jawas. Then there was a "special stranger" with dark armor that was put into arena, who defeated the rancor. He was then forced by guards to somewhere else. Noname didn't like these slavers so wanted to stop them. They asked a guard where to find their boss to "trade goods" and were sent to the back of the arena. There they went into a shop and Noname took out everyone with shuriken. They continued and took out guards, eventually they released the prisoners including the "special stranger" who went into the junkyard. Noname and Greggle wondered what he was looking for and suddenly he pulled out a red colored lightsaber. Noname thought he was Jedi but he told them that he wasn't. Instead, he was a Sith. With him and the other slaves that escaped they got to a ship and took off in safety. They thanked them for helping out and squad returned to their mission.

#### **Tatooine Treasure Hunting**

Stan commed his squadmates, telling them he was in trouble and gave them his location. They reached there and found many thugs and mercs shooting at one building so they cleared them all out. Before they could go find Stan, they saw the same robed Jedi from Nar Shaddaa again. They had a long fight and ended up injuring him but he distracted and knocked them away and fled. Stan then found them, telling them that he got the Stritium. He had went into a random building and found the Streetus but apparently, it was supposed to be protected and the guards were not doing a good job, only realizing afterwards that someone had gotten in and taken something. They still had to find one more ingredient before leaving... Milk. They asked an old guy who told them that there was a farm out of the city. They tried to go but the city gate was locked because there were dangerous creatures outside, alot of them, like a pandemic. Seeing sand tauntauns being sold nearby, squad came up with a plan to plant bomb with poisonous chemicals onto the tauntaun. They buy the tauntaun off with some armor and loot they got from the thugs they defeated and got the tauntaun ready. When outside, they baited in some of the creatures and exploded the tauntaun when they were nearby. The explosion killed them but not only that, the explosion spread the meat with poison around, which the creatures ate and quickly died to. So, squad made their way to the farm and bought off some milk. They then safely returned back to their ship.

#### **Dr. Nyong and Her Serum**

They knew where the doctor was located and they had to find out what this blueprint truly was. They flew to Corellia, Stan and Greggle disguised as Republic guards while Noname took the good old Jedi cloak. The trio infiltrated in but Stan and Greggle were asked for documents. Luckily, they already had documents from the disguises. When asked why they were there, they replied that there was a post transfer. They saw Bison, who was now straight up working as a mercenary for the Republic. They avoided him luckily. They listened through a door and heard that Dr. Nyong was inside and she was discussing "the serum" with a council member, Vorgran. She wanted more time for work but Vorgran had already left the room. They needed to get to her somehow. Unfortunately, guards had contacted base and found out that there was no transfer, they knew they were being infiltrated. Squad avoided them and when no one was looking, Noname replaced their documents with someone elses. They encountered the captain, who asked for their documents, which they gave. They were free after being checked, as they had stolen the other guards document.
They saw Dr. Nyong go into the medical room and followed her. Noname, being disguised as Jedi, asked her about the serum. She said that she needed more time and that "it could have side effects of doing the opposite and decreasing life instead of extending it". Squad had understood what this serum was now. They left her be and sneaked into her office to check her computer. Noname thought for a second about copying the print of the latest test but changed his mind and deleted it instead. They checked her mails and found out that she hid the first proper version but Noname looked puzzled by who the mail was sent to. Suddenly, a Jedi entered into the office and disarmed the 3. He knew who they were and soon squad realized who he was, Pite Tverlo. He asked them how they went to exactly every planet in his personal datapad. Stan answered that it was given to them by a cloaked person. Pite wanted to know and force in to read their minds which caused their heads to hurt alot. Pite then found out, Dum'aas had betrayed him. He spared squad and using the force, placed an order into their subconsious to kill Dum'aas and made them forget their whole meeting.
Pite made them fall asleep and copied the data that interested him from the computer and left. Squad woke up, on the ground and remembering absolutely nothing about just having met Tverlo. Noname thought that this was exactly like how he was told meeting "cloaked persons" went, waking up and remembering nothing. They were confused as to why they were just left there. Is "cloaked person" against the Republic? They didn't know. They took their weapons back and copied data from the computer and destroyed the computer. Noname thought of dealing with Dr. Nyong but Stan decided they should capture her. They went to her and told her that she was being transferred to Coruscant and she was tricked by it. When outside, Stan stunned her and the three got on their ship with their prisoner.

#### **Reopening the Jawa Factory**

After arriving at Zakuul and delivering Dr. Nyong to prison, squad was taken by the Imperial Commander to another mission and they met Gen again. Gen explained that there was a breakout in Zakuul that they were silent about and in this break out, Din and Nemo had escaped. Wanting to make sure Nemo doesn't revive Jawajuice, Empire has been sending squads around searching for him and also destroying factories and they were sent to destroy one too. Should be an easy mission... They arrived there and obviously faced AK-50 droids but what else? Jedi! Why were they there? Nobody knows. They continued shooting down droids, jedi and eventually jawas too! They also place around detonator packs. Suddenly, they face a familiar enemy, the Jedi Killer Droid. They fight it but it flees and they keep going. Eventually they reach the end and start blowing the place up but Jedi Killer takes out 4 lightsabers and starts to chase them. Luckily, they reach the ship and escape just in time, leaving the droid and its factory exploded...

#### **We've Been Tricked, We've Been Backstabbed and We've Been Quite Possibly, Bamboozled**

While going back to Zakuul, Gen told them that this was their last mission together. Dman had only put her there to guard squad but now that squad can be trusted, they didn't need someone to guard them anymore, so she came with them on the mission and she was there to say goodbye. Before they could land on Zakuul however, their ship was hijacked and started going towards Tatooine instead with no one being able to do anything. They could do nothing and were forced to land and when they got out they were taken by the Hutts men. They were brought to Keppa the Hutt and it was revealed that, as Noname had suspected, this was Greggle's doing. He was to capture them the whole time. Keppa congratulated Greggle and sent the squad to prison. Greggle went after them to talk on why he did this. They wanted to stop the war, both Republic and Empire battling out was helping no one in his view. War had taken his father away so Keppa had promised him to stop the war and he was sent to capture the squad. They told him that this wouldn't change anything, so what, the galaxy was going to be ruled by Hutts? No government to keep peace? Greggle thought the Hutts would do a better job at that but soon he would find out, he was tricked. Someone in black robes came with some Republican soldiers. The person in black robes immedieatly catched Noname's slicer and took it and looked confused. They heard he was called "Armone" which seemed to get Noname confused as well. They paid Keppa and took the squad to freeze them in carbon, taking them to their ship. Greggle was confused and asked Keppa, why were there Republicans who took squad? Keppa explained that they were there to take squad and hired this job in the first place. Greggle was confused, but weren't they going to end war? Keppa explained, they were ending war, just by making sure the Republicans win it...

#### **The Saving Grace**

Greggle realized what had happened. In his desperate belief that he could stop war, Keppa had used him all these years. They were never "stopping war", they were just making Keppa rich. Greggle had to save squad so he sneaked onto their ship. He struggled but thankfully, following squad all this time, he had picked up on a few of their tricks. He found the frozen squad and unfroze them but they couldn't go anywhere, besides, they were still weakened and asleep from being frozen. Armone saw doors "randomly" open and close and asked Republicans why, they told it was probably faulty gear. Greggle got and idea and sneaked to the cockpit and changed their direction to Zakuul. Republicans were confused, how faulty was this ship, did it even go through checks? They got back on course. Greggle realized he had to hack the thing. He sneaked back into the cockpit and hacked the ships controls and made it stuck falling to Zakuul. Republicans realized, there was a hijacker and searched for one. They found squad along with Greggle, now awakened, defending themselves. Republicans decided that they were too close to Zakuul now with no way back so they retreated to escape pods. Squad was now awake, Greggle told them he rescued them but they didn't believe. Meanwhile, ship was crashing towards Zakuul... First they needed to find a way out of this, then deal with Greggle....

#### **Hutt Shot in the Gut**

The ship was pulled in by Imperial tractor beam and forced to land. Guards came in to check but only found squad. Gen ordered Greggle's arrest and walked off as the rest saw Greggle's interrogation. Stan and Noname reported that Greggle had betrayed and sold them off to Keppa the Hutt but then had apparently saved them. Greggle wrote a list and gave it to the Imperials. Squad decided, they could perhaps trust him with some caution so they let him free. They realized they had to take their ship back from Keppa. They flew to Tatooine and found their ship but first Greggle wanted revenge. Greggle went to Keppa and wanted to talk in secret. When they went into Keppa's room, Greggle shot him, leaving him dead. Stan gets the ship ready shoots the guards before Noname and Greggle are caught and they leave out of there. Republic ships go after them, to shoot them down. Knowing they have low fuel and can only make 1 hyperspace jump, they act fast. Stan tells Noname that it's time to go to Dantooine so they make the jump...

#### **In the Jedi Nest**

Squad landed and realizing they were near the Jedi Temple, they walked in with Stan wearing Republic uniform and Noname with his Jedi robes. The trio entered and walked around, seeing many Jedi. They had to be careful to not get caught. They went in and saw a guarded room so they found a guard and Noname pickpocketed his document. They went in the guarded room and Greggle hacked in and exported out the data secretly and they left the room. Stan wanted to explore another area, they arrived at the top of it and looked down the glass floor, there was a room under that was full of holocrons and other types of data storage. Noname sliced a hole with the lightsaber and jumped down but he was caught by Master Vorgran. He was unable to trick him as Vorgran just knocked him out and took him away. Stan wanted to save him but he lost the jedi, not to mention they just heard other guards searching for intruders. It was too dangerous, they couldn't risk it. So they just quickly left the building and got out of there, returning to their ship.

#### **A Smart Deal**

Stan and Greggle were on ship, no idea what to do. Stan started to question his leadership, why was he the only one to stay? Was he really the right choice? Before any further, their ship got a transmittion call from an unknown source. Accepting it, it was an unidentifiable voice that told them if they told what "Streetus, Galulag" and other chemicals they heard were for. Stan asked, how they knew all of this and if they're with the Republic, to which the voice replied, they would've already been caught if they were. Stan told them that it was for a life extending serum and in turn their ship got sent the files and layout of the Jedi Temple and then cut off contact. With nothing else to do, Stan turned the ship right back to Dantooine...

#### **Saving Private Eirann**

Stan and Greggle sneaked in the behind enterance of the temple but they found out that someone else was already infiltrating inside and fighting Republicans and Jedi. They saw someone with similar black clothing to Noname and they realized that they were in the same side as they were both fighting off Republic. They went into the temple facing many Jedi and guards until they found the prison room. They saw Phakin and Vorgran and heard Noname scream, presumably they were doing terrible things to him and trying to read his mind. Phakin learned from reading Noname's brain through the force that Pite had placed an order into their mind to kill Phakin. After learning this he quickly left with Vorgran. Stan and Greggle helped out Noname but they realized, the others who helped them were gone. They heard a jawa, it was Nemo, also imprisoned by Jedi. They took him as well. There was someone else too, Calren, he was hurt and drained of his life force. He looked dry and skinny, a miracle that he was even barely alive. Stan carried him back to their ship but on the way back, Vorgran appeared and trashed their ships engines and warned them that Noname wasn't allied with them and left. Squad dismissed it as a trick but they needed to repair their ship now. Nemo volunteered and actually fixed it. They got on to their ship and set course to Zakuul...

#### **Nemo Doesn't Like Cells**

After taking off and putting Calren to rest, they started interrogating Nemo in the cell of their ship. Nemo told them that he regret his actions and wanted to make up for them but no one would let them. He was imprisoned by Jedi and asked about his droids and skills. Both Imperials and Republic wanted his work but he wouldn't give them out anymore. Not wanting to give out Nemo and his capabilities and knowing he isn't so bad anymore, they decided to keep him in their ship cell. Stan asked about what Noname experienced in the prison but he couldn't exactly remember and didn't know why his hands were covered in blood. Stan told him to get some rest and soon they were to arrive at Zakuul to get the big news.

#### **Empire at War**

Squad arrived and were taken to the Imperial council and watched as a big crowd discussed in chaos. It seemed they were worried about war approaching. Dman's hologram appeared and started speaking. He spoke his intention: protecting the Empire. A live broadcast of Pite Tverlo making a speech was played. He spoke about how Imperials had attacked and killed many innocents on one factory they were building and the capital Jedi Temple and explained that he had waited for long but war in the end came to be. Dman added after Pite's speech, the "newly built factory" was heavily connected to Jawajuice and producing their droids and the Jedi Temple wasn't even attacked by them, it was attacked by someone else. A hologram displayed these "other people" that attacked the temple. It looked exactly like the people squad worked with while saving Noname. Dman added that the Republic statements were ignorant and false and that he tried to keep the peace but if the Republic wants war, he has to protect his Empire. He ended his speach and dismissed the council, leaving it in big debate...

#### **Meeting the Man Again**

Squad having heard all of this were told they had a new mission as had expected. They were taken to prison and suddenly, Noname was kicked to the chair and strapped to it. Confused, Stan and Greggle wondered what was going on and the Imperial Commander started interrogating Noname about a "GenoHaradan" guild. Noname barely answered then Dman arrived, freeing Noname and taking the squad to his personal room, where inside also seemed to be a lizard like pet. He explained all about their mission, confirming he knew of everything they had done, including Gregglen's real identity. He also told them that their medics and doctors were unsure of Calren's wellbeing as it didn't look like he would be able to ever normally walk or eat to them and he thought that this was definitely related to the serum while Noname thought it wasn't just that but unsure of what exactly. He then gave them a new mission, to take out some allies of the Republic but this was apparently a secretive one. It was time they had learned of the Imperial Overwatch. Before they went, he gave them a datacard. Noname recognized that it was Prolon's data. Dman had somehow took it from Tahori... A twi'lek came and took them to the secret base. She asked they promise not to ever speak of what they see as it had ended bad for others who did. When asked her name, she told them she was "Messenger" while others just called her "Mes". They waited for a bit in a room full of computers and other screens, it creeped out Greggle and Noname. They also saw the calm twi'lek that just sat at Socorro there. She "tested contact" with the squads holocrons and they heard beeps through their comms. They were given a datacard on their mission and told to go back to their ship... So they took off to clear whatever new threat they had, as usual...

#### **A Jedi Insider**

On their ship, they read their mission from the datacard. Taking out Republic supportive GenoHaradan members on Vjun. Stan asked about Noname's full story with this and why he was still with them if they were fighting their group. He answered that he was part of GH, the whole time. Thought of as a myth in public eye, the GH is a guild lead by a small circle of very influent people who manipulated the galaxy through various acts. He was sent to spy on UFP originally but stuck with the squad as Imperials paid him. As for Republicans, GH had apparently both Imperial and Republic suporters within itself. Greggle didn't know if he wanted to do this anymore, they were just back in war, just like the one that got his father killed. Why help any faction if they both want the same thing and nothing ends up being different? Why get themselves killed for it?
Suddenly they got a new contact to their ship, it was the same spy who contacted them right before Noname's rescue despite being part of the Republic. Stan explained this to Noname and then the spy asked if they found anything new about this serum or if they have heard of "Project Eternity". They didn't but they mentioned Calren to which the spy seemed to recognize. It displayed hologram of 2 chiss Jedi, Phakin and Vorgran and suddenly all 3 of the squad got anger reactions upon seeing Phakin. This intrigued the spy, as when shown other Jedi they didn't get those reactions. They were told that someone placed an order on their brain to kill Phakin but only certain masters of the Jedi Order had this ability. They were asked if they knew any other Jedi while being shown various masters holograms. When Pite Tverlo came up, they recognized him as the Jedi they met during the Jawajuice war when they were on Dantooine.
Stan then asked about a GenoHaradan helping out the Republic. The spy seemed to have just learned of it's existance and didn't know they were real, so didn't seem to have any info on them. Stan asked once again, why willingly help out the enemy? The spy responded that the Jedi were hypocritical in their "moral" acts while they did totally unnatural things. Their contact was cut out and now Greggle had decided to stick with this after all, to help it if squad doesn't get killed and stop the Jedi from doing even more twisted acts "for greater good". They got ready as their ship had approached Vjun...

#### **The Phantom Allies**

They landed on Vjun near a facility, which looked to be Republic controlled and of course they went in and spotted Republic guards. They went through the facility and then started seeing some people dressed in black, looking like the ones that helped them back in the Jedi Temple. Of course, they knew that these were GenoHaradan now, members of a guild Noname was also in but these side with the Republic. They took down whoever they saw, advancing into the facility. They encountered some sort of generator and the only way looked to be up. Greg could jump up to there but not Noname or Stan. Stan boosted Noname up and told them he'd find another way in and stay in contact. Noname and Greggle kept going and then encountered a GH member who they fought but not killed. He was confused, why was another GH member attacking them? Noname explained the situation and the civil war between them along with sick experiments Republic was doing and the life extender serum. He understood but was conflicted. He told them that he was under orders to shoot them but Greggle knocked him out for making him bleed. Noname left a note with him to reconsider their situation and they kept going. They went above and noticed they were in an even bigger facility. They saw an AK droid, that was likely modified to work for Republic but Greggle hacked into it, making him work for them instead. AK droid seemed useful, being able to combat well. Suddenly, they started facing Jedi, and the droid seemed to be able to combat them well. Without any warning, the droid had killed someone in black robes. Noname check on the person and as he had guessed, it was Armone or as GH had named him "The Armed One", the one that was in duty to make sure of their arrival when Keppa froze them. From his datapad he found the names "Jim Kongun" and "Talish Homers" which he had guessed to be the GH leaders they were sent to assasinate.

#### **The GenoMech**

Unfortunately after all this, the droid was eventually destroyed by a Jedi, leaving Noname and Greg to continue on their own. Noname and Greg then went into a room with 2 people standing in front of what seemed to be a capsule that was opened and a post. They were Jim and Talish, the Republican leaders of GH who were discussing of how proud their "creation" went. When they noticed Noname and Greg, they started fighting but were beaten. Jim wondered, how did a low ranking beat him? Noname stated that it was their secrecy as usual and that he was supporting the wrong side of war. None of what Jim said seemed to effect Noname and he slashed him off, killing him. Talish couldn't believe they were defeated, she thought they had won but they then shot her. It seemed like it all was over but they had no sign of Stan. From a wall they started hearing shots and mechanic sounds. Suddenly, they fell in cover and a mechanic droid went through the wall and into rubble. It got up and looked injured. It used the post to heal itself. Noname and Greg were confused but when it started attacking them when they saw it, they started fighting back but it enabled shields at random times which made it immune and healed with the post whenever it took damage. They made a plan and Greggle distracted the droid while Noname planted bombs on the post. When it went to heal, it took massive injury and started shooting around the place, which started making it crumble. They had to get out, so Noname tried to "lock pick" the door with a lightsaber but the droid caught it. Noname slashed its face and the droid disabled itself, being blinded. The place was starting to crumble but thankfully, Stan arrived shooting through the door with a concussion rifle. They went out quickly and hijacked a Republic ship and flew back to their own.

#### **Back on Track**

They quickly flew out of there before anyone could chase them. To Noname, this had went better than expected and Stan mentioned this took him back 15 years. Noname and Greg wondered what he meant, they told their own stories, it was time to learn his. Stan said that he had already mentioned he was a Sith experiment but he had left out the part where he had to go through hell for a year before he could return home. It was why he was silent for a long time as he had major trauma. He had faced extreme safety measures from Sith, droids and anything else that was there. It was horrifying... They got a call from the Commander and were told that they did a good job as 1/3rd of the Republic's support was now gone and they were weaken. Noname wasn't surprised much. Commander told them now they have to continue their remaining missions, first was finding the serum...

#### **Better Start Asking Questions**

They landed on Balmorra in a specific city and presumably Noroca street but they had to find it. They asked around but no one really seemed to know. Soon they found it, as recalled from a writing on a historic statue but now they had to find Nyong's home where she hid the serum. However, the streets were oddly silent and without any public. It was odd. Searching up on the HoloNet they found her home and went in but they suddenly saw guards corpses on the floor, who were shot. It was a cold crime scene but who could've done it? They went to the upper floor and found something was opened from a table and taken. This was real odd. Stan noticed that there was a blood trail left from a twi'lek that was stabbed, they started following it. It started to loosen and suddenly... Was on the wall? It was real odd. They saw more blood drops and followed it to a ship they saw Bison with before and what do they know, it was Bison with a briefcase. They confronted him. They started questioning and arguing. Bison told them that they were all nothing but Imperials. They had just forgot what they did 10 years ago. They confronted him asking if he knew what sick experiments the Republic was doing and that he shouldn't stick to his beliefs. They told each other they just believed the lies of their faction. Bison told them he wasn't as blind as they see him to be, he was going to destroy the thing but first he had to leave with it. They didn't allow him and shot the briefcase off his hand, taking the serum from it. They left to their ship and flew away. Bison then also flew out with his own ship and called them. He wanted Greggle and told him "Keppa's friends and family send their regards" before starting to shoot them. Squad enabled their shields and hit hard with their own guns, damaging Bison's ship before going to lightspeed and getting out of there. It seemed that Bison was also a rival now. Now they had only one more mission left. Finish whatever was on the map...

#### **Firrerre: Rebel Conquest**

Squad chose Firrerre and landed there in the town of Huevo-Kukuevo. but they were immedieatly met with Republic guards who arrested them. As they were crossing the bridge however, it blew up, killing the guards but not the squad. They were taken by someone in armor that looked taped together. They were taken to some sort of base filled with more people with odd armor and also Imperials and were freed of their cuffs. They met Lieutenant Bouty, who explained that they were sent there long ago to set up a base and investigate what was going on. However, when war broke out, rebellion attacks on the city started by "Freedom Fighters" and not long after, Imperials were spotted in the town as well. Soon, the Freedom Fighters and Imperials allied to take over the town and eventually the city but however they were low on numbers. Squad wanted to help but didn't want any civillians getting hurt, they were innocent in this war, they shouldn't have to pay. They came up with a plan and went to set a bomb on a ship in the hangar. Then they made a call to Republic HQ as "terrorists", bluffing they have more setup and waiting to see what they do. When seeing that they did nothing, they got Imperial armor on from the base and went to save civillians themselves. They took civillians out and left it, which then everyone saw blew up. They told the civillians that terrorist had made a call to Republic and played the message but that they did nothing, so they took it upon themselves to save them. Some seemed convinced, while others just confused. A few even wanted to join their cause while one went to report this to the Republic, believing it was propaganda. Squad returned to the base and were told they did good. They asked if there was anything interesting spotted, to which they were told that a tank with heavy armoring passed the next town. Considering it had heavy protection, it must've been important...

#### **Resistance of Huevo-Kukuevo**

The streets were empty as the city was evacuated after one bomb after all. With normal clothes, the guards thought of squad to be civillians and took them to a multi-seated speeder. They got on and were sent to Shriknia by a pilot. Stan knocked the pilot out and took him out of the speeder before arriving there. They arrived and saw the thing parked and made a plan. Greggle took the lightsaber "lock pick" and jumped high up onto a building and from it into the tank, slicing in. He took what seemed to resemble a force holocron and left it before being spotted. The three examined what it was, recalling it to look like the object from the temple at Bastion. When they heard guards realized cargo was empty, they sneaked past and went back to the speeder and back to Huevo-Kukuevo, now realizing that a battle in the streets between Empire and Republic had errupted. They sneaked about but were found and apprehended by an Imperial, being taken to their base and then freed. They met with Lieutenant Bouty again and told him they needed to go back to their ship and continue their mission. They needed to capture the next command post at the command center. They were given Imperial armor and weaponry and set out with Bouty's squad. Bouty and his troops provided distraction and cover fire as they opened the gates to the command post from the control center. They got in and found their stuff that was taken from the ship but then saw Lieutenant Bouty, bleeding. He told them this may be it for him but they were going to live to fight another day and he spoke his last words. "Promise me, you'll win this war. Not for the Empire but for the people.". With that, squad returned to their ship and quickly took off, leaving the planet.

#### **Hacker's Proper Armor**

On their ship, Noname wondered if this was worth it at all. They had gotten something they didn't know what was. Prolon scanned the holocron, revealing all about it to the squad. They now knew it was data storage that not they could open but only force sensitives. They got a call from the spy again, who now knew they had caused whatever happened on Vjun and explained Greggle had a bounty on his head, or rather as the bounty referred to him "Gregglen Makaro". The spy asked if they had found anything more about Project Eternity. The spy was told about the Jedi Holocron they found, to which, the spy offered to be able to open it with "the help of a rogue Jedi". Squad was conflicted at first, wondering if they could even trust or if it was even worth it but they ended up deciding to go with it after all. They were given coordinates on Tatooine and told to go there at night. First, however, Greggle wanted to hide his looks to not be seen by hunters. Stan called up on Imperial HQ and requested a gungan fit armor that didn't look Imperial made. Their conditions were met and soon, Greggle found himself wearing, finally, a fit and comfy armor to hide his identity. To further hide it, just in case, he came up with a temporary name, "Ford Quadron".

#### **This is How You Open a Jedi Holocron**

Squad arrived on Tatooine, at night, and went their set coordinates. They saw someone in tusken clothing approach. This person arrived and then motioned them to be silent and gestured to request the holocron. Stan gave it and then the holocron proceeded to open. It opened up, showing a holographic image of a mountain shape with a hole in the middle with a light source coming out of it. Above it were the letters: "V - O - T - J". Shortly after, the holocron closed and Stan took it as the tusken clothed figure disappeared. Greggle was amazed while Stan was just confused. Stan wondered if this meant anything, if this was what they needed to get while Noname replied that they had nothing as they didn't learn anything new. Squad returned to their ship and without much choice, decided on another planet to go to, Alpheridies...

#### **Alpheridies: Mansion of the Blind**

Squad neared the planet but were suddenly pulled by its red dwarf star. It's power was too much as when they put thrusters on, they just seemed to stay in place. Stan had an idea, not sure of if it would work but tried it nonetheless, releasing an escape pod. As the star consumed the released pod, their ship was temporarily let free in which they quickly flew towards the planet. However, they overjudged their action and landed splashing right onto the sea, luckily stopping near an estate of sorts. Stan decided he was going to look after the ship and if anything, at least get some contact and get them rescued off the island, telling Noname and Greggle to wander about in the meanwhile. They saw and went into a mansion, believing it was empty but they encountered an eyeless girl. She was blind and she explained that the sun of the planet made them born blind and made it dangerous to leave as it pulled any ships passing. They asked for help but she couldn't provide any and went away to which then squad as they walked out, were met with an elderly looking woman, who also lacked eyes but she could somehow see them clearly. She told them out and push them down the stairs before locking the door from the inside. Contacting Stan, they told him that they couldn't find anything to help them and they'd better call for help instead. In the meanwhile Noname decided to steal from the mansion, which Greggle followed unwillingly, altough without much choice.
Sneaking around they saw someone thrown right out the window, which startled Greg. Noname looked on him, realizing it was a Republic Squad Leader. The Leader woke up to which Noname presented himself and Greg with fake names and asked what happened. He explained that he had lost his squad and the lady had taken one of them. Noname said they could "help" them for a price and with an agreement they proceeded to, as the Squad Leader ran to elsewhere. Greg and Noname went in, sneaking around, they were just barely avoiding being spotted and were being spooked out. They heard a Rep Squadmate being interrogated by the elderly woman, why they were here. He explained they were looking for a map before being thrown out the window by her. They then stumbled across a secret room, just as expected. It was mostly filled with old family heirlooms and statues but most importantly, they saw a map. Examining it, it contained not many planets but the ones it did contain, most of them matched the squads datapad and right beside it was an "eye" painting. Hearing someone come in, they hid quickly, it was the eyeless girl, she seemed to touch the map in some "force" way and left. Noname took the map and they left the room. They saw another Republican hanged but still awake and alive, it was an attempt to spot anyone else sneaking by. Noname and Greg decided to save him and did so silently. They quickly left out the building but were stopped by the elderly woman but just as she was to get back the map, Republic Squad arrived from behind and stunned her. They were to take her but Noname asked for their payment and just as they got paid, with Greggle they stun shot the Republic Squad and took both the payment and the map. They saw and examined the Republic ship, took the part their ship needed and quickly ran back. They got Stan the part and got their ship running again, quickly getting out of there.
On the flight, they explained to Stan everything, what happened, the map. Stan examined the map and the eye picture, reading "sun infrared lasers burns off the eye" and "Miraluka" which gave answers to who the two they saw were, Miraluka who could not see. They needed to know how this linked with their map but lacked anymore information, so decided to continue to the other planets instead...

#### **Chistt: Hunting Grounds**

They landed in what appeared to be a grassland with Chistori natives around. They saw a temple and sneaked towards it but when asking from the front door they met "Kahn", supposedly the owner, who told them to not bother him and locked the doors. Of course they weren't going to stay put, Noname found a thin enough wall and cut through it with the lightsaber. They managed to sneak in and avoid him as he went to a different room. Stan went across the hall to examine the statues but Greggle and Noname couldn't, as they felt like they got choked when they tried to, Stan seemed to be immune. Stan hid behind a statue as Kahn came back who ended up smelling him and found him out, right as Noname shot him in the leg and Stan knocked him away. The two aiming at him, Khan told them he found them disrespectful, infiltrating into his home out of nowhere. He said he would hunt them as now he had their scent. Noname was about to shoot him down but Stan stunned him before that. Prolon scanned the statue Khan seemed to be constantly cleaning and they quickly ran back to their ship.

#### **More Clues, Less Planets**

As they got on their ship they heard footsteps, realizing someone was on their ship. They searched around and found a Chistori, it seemed he was hunting for food. They fought him and were able to knock him out, throw him out of the ship and quickly fly out of there. They used the statue scan to reverse search in the database and found bio of Desann, the Dark Jedi that fought Kyle and discovered the location of Valley of the Jedi. They were getting close to finding what they needed to and were running out of planet options. They chose Dorlo, this was about to be over soon...

#### **Dorlo: Peaceful Town**

They landed on Dorlo and it seemed to be freezing, which effected Greggle badly so they quickly ran about and knocked on someones door. They were met with someone who was nice enough to offer them coming inside. It seemed to be a family of 4, mom, dad and 2 kids. The dad offered them better clothes for warmth which they accepted and changed into. They were told about raiders that raided yearly into town and asked them for equipment and then just returned back, how fortunate just as they were told a raid started to happen. Squad went outside to fight off the raiders while townspeople stayed inside, scared. Squad managed to make the raiders fall back and took some of their armor as disguise, following the trail they left in the snow.
They arrived in their base and acted like the package deliverers. Inside they noticed that their equipment consisted of heavy equipment and illegal weapon mods and this was just what they were going to deliver. They knew they had to destroy it and started placing remote bombs around sneakily as they walked in. They came to the HQ room and placed packaging then quickly shot all of the people inside. They searched around the room for info when Noname triggered 4 holograms of different people to appear and explain this all. This was a group called "Death Watch". Apparently, they were planning on galactic domination by getting ready and collecting heavy equipment from around the planet. Well, squad was here to stop that. They set up bombs and got ready when they heard footsteps. Then alot of thugs stormed in, they couldn't take them all and Stan was shot. Luckily Greg found a thin enough wall that Noname cut through with the lightsaber. They quickly ran out as they set off the bombs and the whole base blew up.

#### **Peaceful Town... No More**

They came back to the town but unfortunately, even with their best efforts, someone had reported to the HQ and the whole town was swarmed with Death Watch troops and everyone shot down. Stan hurried back to their ship as Noname and Greg came to the house of the family they had met. It was too late, they were murdered brutally. Not just the man but the woman and a child too. They saw another kid, hiding behind a cupboard, he was scared. Noname and Greg took off their disguises, they wanted to help him out but he was too scared. Noname approached close, he told him they would avenge their parents and gave him a pistol. The kid was scared to hold it but realized he had to. They quickly stormed out the door and went a far shooting down some thugs but they were flanked and surrounded by thugs. They started counting before they shot them and suddenly, they saw jetpacks in the air. Mandalorians! They came down, shooting each and every Death Watch thug. The kid hid behind Greggle, still very scared. Someone came down towards the three, apparently the leader of the Mandalorian group. Noname told him their gratitude and the Mandalorian guessed they were no enemy, he apologized for arriving so late for the town. He turned his head towards the kid, seemed very interested in him. He approached close and offered him a home and promised revenge against the Death Watch if he came with them. As the kid accepted he was given and put on a Mandalorian helmet. He took out the Darksaber, turning it on towards the sky and flew out of there as many other Mandalorians followed. Noname and Greggle then returned to their Stan in the ship...

#### **Danuta: Where The Plans Got Stolen**

Squad landed on Danuta and it seemed to be an Imperial planet suprisingly but they expected trouble nonetheless. They went into an Imperial mining station and walked around. They were told by someone who was expecting them, this was where "Katarn" stole the Deathstar plans. It connected to the other clues they got of Desann and Valley of the Jedi. They seemed to have nothing else to do here when suddenly they saw someone try to escape but got shot down. He tried to sacrifice himself and blow up imperials but it failed. Squad was told that these spies came every week to smuggle out information as they couldn't just report because of Imperial jammers set up in the area and the scouts shooting down or stopping anyone else from approaching upfront. They were building a big shuttle, "Fortress in a shuttle" as Noname described it. Very powerful and could win Empire the war as it could destroy other fleets fast. With no other info to get, they left the planet.

#### **Oricon: Unfinished Business**

Stan told squad that he had lied to them. There was one more planet, Oricon, he didn't want to go there and hoped not to because of how it related to his past as an experiment but he knew they had no choice now. Noname proposed Stan stay on ship for this to which Stan told them he was coming and they could stay instead. Noname and Greggle weren't having it, they were going through this together, as a squad. Stan accepted, they would have to go together, as brothers in arms and as a squad. They landed and spotted few Sith Troopers, of course remnants of it, as they had weak and various scavenged weaponry. They entered into a castle and were met by a Sith Priest, one of whom that experimented on Stan, at least the only one that lived so far. He read their minds and figured out what they were looking for, which he told them was at Sulon, inside the Katarn household. After getting the info, Stan without hesitation shot the Sith Priest, killing him. They ran out of there as Stan set up bombs and started shooting the place down with rockets and concussions, unloading all over it. The castle broke apart and fell into the lava. They ran back to their ship and flew out. Stan was relieved, the ones who had broke him were no more... He didn't have to worry, the nightmare was finally over. Now all he had to finish was the Jedi plans but of course, not alone. The Dark Forces squad would do it together...

#### **Map to the Valley**

They landed close to the Katarn home, in Sulon. They saw a few Trandoshan maulers and scavengers, not a problem. They took them out with their weapons in stun mode and approached the house. They got in and started searching all around for the map they were told to find. After a while, Stan noticed the stone ceiling looking weird and asked Prolon to scan it. Prolon showed a full map, apparently on the planet Ruusan, the location and the way to the Valley of the Jedi... Without wasting anytime, squad quickly left and flew there in their ship.

#### **Return of the Jedi**

They arrived at the Valley, amazed by it. Stan warned squad to not touch or toy with anything as it all could be dangerous. They approached the middle but then they spotted someone in cloak approaching them. He looked confused, asked who they were. Squad asked who he was first, he revealed his face. It was Kyle Katarn, the legend who defeated Jerec and Desann. He was guarding the place from anymore intruders, but he didn't sense squad, why didn't he sense them? He then noticed Greggle's scepter and looked scared as he thought they could be Dark Jedi or Sith here to use the Valley's power for evil. Before much, he was hit in the head and knocked down, pushed off far by Phakin. Squad felt the sudden urge to kill again. This was Phakin's plan, he used them to find it and now he had no use for them anymore. Squad tried fighting but they were no match, Phakin took care of them, knocking them away and then took the serum Stan was holding onto. He drank it, drained the power from the Valley. He was about to become powerful. Squad seemed to have failed, they couldn't stop the Jedi from taking the power... Suddenly, Phakin started to look much older. He gradually got older really fast, the serum had backfired! As Doctor Nyong had warned long before, the serum didn't work as intended and made the user age faster instead of slower. Soon, Squad got back up and looked at Phakin, who was now nothing but bones. It seemed their job was done. Phakin was dead and they had found what the map was leading to all along. They returned to their ship, planning to fly back to Zakuul and report what happened...

#### **The Empire Strikes Back**

Upon returning, Squad were immediatly sent to Dman, who told them that the assault on Ruusan had begun. They were quickly sent back to their ship with Gen and were briefed by their temporary supervisor, Commander Blak. They were to infiltrate a Republic Carrier and sneak into a base from behind. While on the ship, Noname and Greggle got ready, preparing and training as Stan and Gen talked. Stan wanted to know what would happen from now on, which Gen said that they couldn't be together anymore. She was apparently being rumored in discussion for a "higher position", possibly in Commander or even higher. Disappointed but with no other option, Stan and Gen wished luck in their different ways and said goodbyes. As they saw the Republic ship approach, they sealed their helmets and jumped towards it, slicing in and landed with the ship inside the base hangar. There they were given instructions from Blak. First, they had to capture General M, who held information about mercenaries being hired to fight. Second, they had to disable the jammers in the upper level to allow Imperial reinforcements to arrive. Finally, they had to eliminate Serah Bishop, a Jedi Knight who was depleting their forces on the battlefield. With their instructions given, squad proceeded ahead...

#### **Battle for the Valley**

Squad seemed to find the General quickly in the next room but unfortunately they had alerted him and began chasing. They sliced and hacked through doors and proceeded into every next upper level, running after the General. Soon they faced mercs and even Jedi but squad had faced alot before. This was no challenge. Soon they caught the General and knocked him out and luckily they were in a carbon freezing chamber so they froze him in it. They proceeded above to the streets. It was like hell, many Republic and Imperial forces fighting off but it seemed the Republic had the upper hand, for now. They saw Serah Bishop slicing through Imperials and started chasing her, she didn't want to risk it and fled right away. They still went ahead towards the jammer. Eventually, after facing many Republic Troopers and mercs, they got to the upper levels and found themselves in the security room. Alot of guards started to try and get back in to the room. Stan and Noname held them off as Greggle hacked and disabled the jammer, but there were too many coming in. Greggle saw a security turret and hacked it to shoot at the Republic troopers. Soon, outside was safe to get out and they proceeded into the next area as they heard Imperial reinforcements were arriving. They were surrounded by many Republicans and 2 Jedi in the next area but infantry arrived and helped defeat them. As Imperials seemed to gain the upper hand, squad proceeded to go down into the lower level but were faced with a Jedi, the same robed Jedi they had met in Tatooine and Yavin before but Stan wasn't there then, he is now. They fought and the Jedi fled as he got injured so squad followed him down to the elevator.

#### **Dark Forces Reunited**

They couldn't see the Jedi anywhere, walking through the hallway but suddenly, he jumped down and was about to stab Noname but was shot dead from behind. They looked to check who it was, it was Bison. He was on their side now? There was no time to explain, he simply answered he was getting paid. Squad decided to accept, for now... They went forward, they could just see the Valley from here, they were close. They came to a control room in which Bison entered codes to unlock the gate to the Valley. He knew them supposedly from previous jobs. Bison said he would hold off the incoming Republicans as the three went down towards the gate. There they faced Serah Bishop, who wished not to fight them but to her it seemed there wasn't much of an option. She fought hard but was defeated by squad. and was to be shot but Lars, the young apprentice came to stop and save her. He told her to flee, which she didn't want to but after being convinced by Lars, she ran away. Lars was beaten easily, as he wasn't very skilled and was young. While Stan and Noname didn't want to get any interruptions, they were convinced not to kill the padawan, he was young and naive. Stan stunned him and he was dropped away as they proceeded into the Valley of the Jedi...

#### **The Eye of Tverlo**

Tverlo and Vorgran were fighting for control of the Valley inside. They each wanted the power for themselves. Just as squad and Bison arrived, Vorgran was slowly stabbed, to have a painful and slow death as Pite wished he saw what would happen. Squad confronted Tverlo, they each argued to the better of their side. Pite arguing Empire were evil and Dman was no different than Palpatine, Stan and Noname arguing the Republic is the worse side here and Bison and Greggle rooting for neither side but wishing for the conflict to end and trying to convince Pite. Of course, Pite was not to be convinced and soon they clashed. Pite was too strong for them however, they were grounded easily and then he got on to the ring of power and absorbed it all. The light faded and Pite rose to the air, he shot lightning towards the sky, which broke through the roof and started hitting Imperial fleets and ships, destroying them. He was unstoppable now, they was no way they could reach to him as anything they did was easily stopped. Pite saw everything now. He spoke about each one in the squad and their sins. Bison and his greed for money, Greggle betraying the squad, Noname working for a secret guild that was built for killing but he said something else to Stan. He said he felt sorry to Stan because of his past and that he would make sure no sith would ever make such cruel experiments on anyone else. Stan didn't fall for it and pointed out Calren, to which Pite said he deserved it, for executing Order 66 and shooting down Jedi years ago. He allowed them to escape but pulled Bison, he made him stuck in the valley, feeling great pain. They needed to stop him somehow, Stan had an idea. He saw Kyle's unconsious body, he thought he would know most about this place than any of them and should know how to stop Pite. They had to leave Bison in there and carried Kyle outside...

#### **The Rise of Katarn**

Outside, squad woke Kyle up. Kyle was told what happened and he was saddened, he felt he had failed to protect the Valley. There was no way to stop it, only way was to destroy the Valley but it required more people. Stan said he was in but Kyle explained it required force sensitives, that was their only chance but there was none around that would be on their side. They saw the squad's ship land nearby and Gen quickly ran out from it to squad, she hugged Stan. They had orders from Dman to pull out but she wanted to make sure he and the others were safe. She also asked Nemo still imprisoned in their ship and why he was requesting to be taken to "Katarn". Stan told her to get him here, as he was force sensitive and would be required. Nemo came to Katarn and told him he was ready to do anything to get the power out of the hands of evil. Two Jedi approached, Serah Bishop and Kiira. They were going to ask them to leave or fight them but they saw Kyle, they knew about him from the myths. Kyle spoke and convinced them of Pite's wrong doing and they were convinced, as they stood no chance against the ones before them and the wise Katarn wished for Tverlo to be stopped. The 4 force sensitives gathered and Kyle asked them if they were ready to give up their life, as what they were going to do were to take it. The two Jedi were reluctant at first but decided it had to be done for the better good, they had lived a lie under Pite. Nemo was always prepared to give his life for the better. They all went in to the Valley again, preparing to do what needs to be done.

#### **The Final Force**

When inside Stan, Greggle and Noname started all fighting Pite, seemingly unmatched and getting really injured but they had to distract him at all costs. The others along with Kyle went into the middle, starting the process. Pite was merely toying with the squad. He threw Greggle around like nothing, made Stan see multiple and made him feel pain, used Noname's own stealth tricks against him. The squads ship lifted off and shot at Pite from the sky, it was Gen piloting but it was quickly sent down and crashed. Bison was still held and in pain, however, someone came and helped him get free while Pite was distracted. It was Maria, she helped Bison free. Pite then noticed Kyle, he realized what they were doing and wanted to stop it. He lunged and stabbed him but it was too late. Kyle smiled and then vanished along with Nemo, Serah and Kiira. The ring exploded with Pite and soon the whole Valley was starting to crumble and explode. Squad ran off as Bison and Maria fled from the back enterance. Bison and Maria took off with a ship as Stan and the others went towards their own crashed one. 3 Jedi arrived and confronted them. They tried to arrest and immobilize them but when they tried to do hand motions, no force effect happened. What was happening? Stan and Greggle knocked them out and apprehended them. Stan found Gen inside the ship and checked on her, soon Mountain's Fist arrived and had their medics carry Gen and Noname away. They explained Republic forces were surrendering all around and the Jedi couldn't do anything. It seems, the force was gone, the Empire had won... Mountain's Fist stayed there to search for their leader while the others were taken away on another shuttle...

#### **Peace Day**

It has been a week since the destruction of the Valley. It was reported that now no one could use the force... It seems, the force was gone... Empire had won the war and Dman claimed that day as the galactic "Peace Day". Dman went to the medbay to personally check up with the squad. Squad had recovered while Gen and Noname were resting. He asked Gen if she really wanted to resign and she explained so. Stan and Gen were both retiring and Greggle was to go his own ways. Because of this, the squad of DF-42 was to be disbanded yet remembered. Drake came in too, explaning it felt like the end of an era and that he would miss the squad. Dman wished them well in their future and that they will be still seen as allies to the Empire if needed and left the room. On the way, Dman encountered Bison, who said they had to talk but first he needed a vacation. Bison went into the medbay too to chat and learned that Stan was retiring, surprisingly. Greggle asked Bison if he could set things straight with Keppa's family but Bison told him he only hunts the bounties, to which Greggle went away to talk things out himself. Bison left with Maria. Stan and Gen also prepared to leave and settle to Dantooine. They all bid farewell to each other and went off to their own paths...
