Episode One

A star destroyer exits hyperspace above the desert world Tatooine. Far below on the planet, a hungover Conrad West makes his way to the Mos Eisley Cantina to meet with an old contact who has recently resurfaced, named Gaman Krieg. Conrad beats a devorian at pazaak, and then speaks to Gaman about getting a new ship and a protocol droid. Kass Starwind awakens in a flat, following a vision in which his former master Yoda’s home is burned by storm troopers, and Yoda offers him a blue light. Kass heads to the cantina for food and interrupts two thugs who are shaking down a pickpocket. The little boy gives Kass an invitation to an auction. Jasper Nest exits the hidden Mandalorian base in the Tatooine sewers, and makes his way to the Cantina in pursuit of his first bounty hunter contract. However, without a license and due to his age he is rebuffed by the Guild contact, Gaman Krieg. Naix arrives on Tatooine, and makes his way through the winding sewers where he is eventually confronted by Mandalorian guards. Naix speaks to their leader, the Armorer, but he is unwilling to relocate his people to Dxun because he lacks confidence in Mandalore the Solitary’s ability to lead. Frustrated, Naix heads to the Cantina, where he meets fellow Mandalorian Jasper, and they are both hired as bodyguards by Gaman Krieg for the upcoming auction.

The auction begins beneath the Cantina, and is run by a tall woman with platinum white hair. Naix bids on the first lot item and wins a tie fighter pilot helmet, respirator, and route map to the planet D’Qar. The second lot item is a deactivated protocol droid, unit J2W1, which Conrad wins and pays a Gamorean guard to take to Gaman’s ship in Dock 4. Jasper sees a hooded Bothan speaking into a communicator and orders him to stop. The third lot is Gaman’s: a shipment of stolen Imperial rifles. Conrad notices a tracking device on the box and recommends they make haste. Two trandoshian’s win the rifles. The fourth lot is a small lockbox containing a training droid and a jedi holocron. Conrad outbids Kass, and Kass confronts him about it. As they begin to leave the auction stormtroopers enter the Cantina and open fire. The players run out the back door and head towards Gaman’s ship, the Nightjar, in Dock 4. Along the way they get lost in the Tatooine streets and must fight four stormtroopers, one of which Jasper decimates with a staff rifle blast. Gaman is shot in the leg during the battle, but makes it onto the Nightjar, along with Conrad, Naix, Jasper, and Kass.

The Nightjar exits the port, and the Mandalorians head to the med bay for bacta packs. Kass confronts Conrad, and when he is unwilling to relinquish the holocron, combat ensues when Kass draws his lightsaber. Gaman and Conrad are able to subdue Kass, who is stabilized by the ship’s droid T3-D1 (Teddy), and bound in the cargo bay. Conrad checks the ship’s hyperdrive and realizes its power cell is damaged and must be replaced. Gaman confides in Conrad that he got the holocron when he was hiding on Dagobah, and that it contains a record of an old droid transport that was lost during the Clone Wars. With modern tracking technology Gaman was able to estimate where the transport ended up. He thinks the thousands of droids aboard the transport could swing the war in either side’s favour, so they need to get them into the hands of the Rebels. As the ship exits the atmosphere a sensor warns that they are in range of another ship, and before long the Nightjar is caught in the star destroyer’s tractor beam. Conrad hides Kass’s lightsaber and the holocron.
