The Liberation of Kashyyyk

*The majority of the Wookiee populace on Kashyyyk had seen years of slavery and forced servitude. With the Rebel Alliance now reorganized as the New Republic, they turn their attention to key worlds to liberate that would join their cause.*

## **Previously**

In between missions, Talcoborro had taken some time off to visit his family and relatives, attempting to sneak onto Kashyyyk. However, he never made it and had been missing for months. Using data provided by the information broker Senomar, Blaine Hansom, Bota Zi, Genos Ia'danian, and Barrett Wallace managed to rescue the kidnapped wookiees who were being held by the Trandoshan Slaving Guild.

Once the wookiees were free, they received a call from Admiral Salve of the New Republic. The team had inadvertently solved a crisis preventing the New Republic from moving forward with a plan to liberate Kashyyyk from the Empire.

Docking with the *Home One*, they crew sees a large group of bothan, calamarians, and wookiees - alongside a group of New Republic commandos and interested parties - gathered on the war room.

## **Recap**

### **The Plan**

Gathered in *Home One*'s war room, with a holographic projection of Kashyyyk hovering in the front of the podium, the large assembly is addressed by Admiral Ackbar.

*"Several months ago, we acquired tactical data thanks to General Solo and Chewbacca of Kashyyyk. Namely, the location of three communication towers used for planetary surface-to-space communications. Although this is outdated technology if these were all destroyed simultaneously, the Star Destroyers protecting the planet will not know how to respond to ground assaults. We have had conditional support from the local wookiee populations who would be willing to lead these ground revolts.*

*However, we had been stalled. The Empire's allies in subjugating the wookiees, the Trandoshan Slaving Guild, had taken dozens of prominent wookiees and their offspring as hostage. Now freed by General Zi, Captain Hansom, and Genos Ia'danian, we can begin to make our move forward with the full support of the wookiee population."*

### **The Liberation of Kashyyyk**

Aboard *The Home One*, the New Republic's plans to break its ground attack into three groups, each striking at a different communication tower. Without communications to the planet, the orbiting Star Destroyers won’t be able to respond to a ground attack quickly and just as important: ground communication for the enemy will be temporarily disabled as well.

Han Solo and Chewbacca would lead the first team and Judder Page would lead the second. The last team, to the surprise of some other New Republic officers, was led by the somewhat notorious Captain Blaine Hansom.

Arriving in-system at different times and vectors, Blaine’s group comes together and heads for their assigned communication tower. The use of a communication tower is outdated itself and the towers themselves are said to date back more than a thousand years. These are each heavily guarded and also used as a transport stations for the military.

When the team arrives, they see an imperial ship in the docking bay partially destroyed. Along with the destroyed transport are several human bodies… long dead and just strewn about.

Pressing on, the team sees highly-corroded walls and walkways and a weird moisture emanating from where they’re headed – the power core.

On the final walkway to the core, which looks like it’s covered in slime and eggs, a large green tentacle reaches out to Kai, grabbing her and dragging her into a large pool of water beneath them. Blaine, asking Genos to hold his weapons, trenchcoat and belt, and jumps in after her.

As soon as he does, a large green, tentacled creature sucking on the power core bursts out and attacks them, a large predator, a Karanakis.

Genos lops a few tentacles off, while Bota slams several well-placed shots into the creature’s eyestalks, killing it. With the creature gone, they turn off the core – leaving the last part of the plan for the pilots and warriors in the cities.

Blaine and Kai wind up in a drain basin on the planet’s surface, only to be picked up in a few hours.

In a matter of hours after the communication towers were disabled, Kashyyyk declared itself free and a member of the New Republic.
