Moff Eirhadon's Victory

High Inquisitor Drayneen, one of Eirhadon's top lieutenants

*The Mon Calamari Admiral Juppreliss Vigen contacts Reenia, who now serves as a liason between the New Rupublic Bounty Hunter’s Guild and the New Republic in wake of her cover being made, for a dangerous assignment.*

*An Imperial Moff named Eirhadon has control over a remote sector, which has grown in power in recent months - worrying the New Republic.*

*The Admiral Vigen wants Bota Zi and Genos Ia’danian to accompany Reenia into a diplomatic meeting and pose as her security detail and retrieve the data the New Republic desperately needs on this foe.*

*Once they arrive, the Moff is waiting for them and the mission ends almost as soon as it begins. An explosion rocks the group, they split up and Bota Zi nearly dies.*

*With a rare unsuccessful mission under their belts, the group is lucky to return back to The Hunter's Tribunal with their lives.*

## **Previously**

Genos has returned to full strength after recuperating on *The Hunter's Tribunal*, while Bota Zi has hardly had a rest since he and Blaine Hansom arrive back to the floating guild hall from Ylseia. Blaine, needing to go to Caladon in person, to deliver Zephyr back to his home planet, wishes the group luck and promises to return shortly.

## **Recap**

### **The Mission Against the Moff**

Reenia Har, the Twi'lek spy the group rescued has become the liaison between the New Republic and the New Republic Bounty Hunters' Guild. In this role, she is tapped by Admiral Vigen for a mission to potentially move her career into that of a diplomat - however the mission may contain 'aggressive negotiations.'

Admiral Vigen has secured a meeting with an Imperial Moff and wants her to gather information. Highly unusual, she brings up a short overview of Anstence Eirhadon, Moff of the remote Makai Sector.

"*Intel suggests that Moff Anstence Eirhadon had been seen as a clever, if not outspoken, leader in the Emperor’s New Order until 4 years before the Battle of Yavin. At that time, rumors began to swirl that Eirhadon had secretly married a non-human. In disgrace, he had been transferred to a small, backwater system that most other Imperial leaders had never heard of – The Makai Sector.*

*In this sector, he scouted numerous new worlds and eventually made the planet Barendor his capital, discovering rich mineral deposits. Using this discovery as a springboard, he has built the sector up as a haven for refugees fleeing from unstable Imperial worlds.*

*Interestingly enough, it seems he also allows non-humans to have all or most rights as humans, something that will need to be investigated further. We need intel on the sector, its routes, its planets, on Barendor, and its human rights records. Anything relating to its military might will also greatly increase our success at wresting control of this sector away from this bit of the Imperial Remnant.*

*Be careful. We know little of this man and his temperment. Even less of his methods. If this mission goes well, we'll send a full diplomatic envoy after you return home with data. May the Force be with you."*

 Suggesting she recruits Genos Ia'danian and Bota Zi to be her small security attache, the Admiral wants to have a small group dock on the planet and meet with the Moff in his castle.

Without much downtime between Yselia and this request, Bota Zi and Genos Ia'danian suit up for their mission to Barendor, the capitol planet of Moff Eirhadon's sector.

### **Over Before It Begins**

The party lands on Barendor on a New Republic consular ship. Reenia Har is the lead diplomat, with Genos Ia'danian and Bota Zi as her lead security attachment, with a few other soliders and two pilots staying behind with the ship.

Greeted by stormtroopers of odd sizes, they're taken on an open air repulsorcraft as part of a convoy to the Moff's castle. Looking at the countryside of Barendor, they see reddish-tan fields, small forests, and fires from cities in the distance. As they travel towards a tall, Old Corucanti-inspired castle, their reverie is interrupted by an explosion.

Their craft explodes and Reenia gets knocked unconscious while both Genos and Bota receiving injuries.

Bota Zi sees two AT-STs approaching from out of the forest, while not the things that caused the explosion, he uses his jetpack to move away from the group and lands on top of one the gray walkers.

Climbing inside, he easily kills the crew but then realizes he can't pilot the walker. Thinking on his feet, Bota decides to shoot his blaster at the other AT-ST, out of its small window, instead of using the vehicle’s own weapons.

And while it wouldn't have hurt the other AT-ST much, he misses his shot, and the other AT-ST - if it hadn't noticed Bota's infiltration before - it did now.

Shooting at Bota Zi, the AT-ST explodes.

Bota Zi fell out, on fire, and almost dead. With a poor strength save, he had only minutes to live. Genos then used to Force to increase his running speed to reach Bota in time - creating a sonic boom behind him and destroying all his clothes.

Using the Force to stabilize Bota, Genos and Rennia barely escape off planet with their lives - as stormtroopers shoot at them as they raced towards the shuttle.

Reenia then, piloted the shuttle back to The Hunters' Tribunal as Genos then fell into shock from his massive draw on the Force.
