It has been six months since the rise of the GALACTIC EMPIRE and the devastation of the JEDI ORDER. With Karrell taking the KRALLET’S FANG and her cargo of padawans out into WILD SPACE, those that have stayed behind are living in close quarters aboard the SOCIAL DETOX. As work and credits grow scarce and the EMPIRE consolidates its grasp, Tazi, Quinth, Zhaan, A-1 and D4 need to find a way to survive without their friend, and the ship that they called home...

 

Across the galaxy, the JEDI fall one by one. Their soldiers and allies turn on them and cut them down without remorse. Aboard the KRALLET’S FANG, a wounded Jedi and 8 JEDI YOUNGLINGS attempt to outrun the reach of ORDER 66, hoping to find safe haven and sanctuary with an old acquaintance …

Having safely arrived back on CORUSCANT, the crew split up to take care of some tasks. Tazi and Quinth set off to recover the KRALLET’S FANG from storage and discuss their future, while A-1, D4 and Zhaan lounge in the Firespray. Meanwhile, Karrell heads into the temple to report, not knowing that the DARK SIDE is about to engulf them all into it’s power-hungry plans…

 

Finally ferreting out the details of both MASTER TOVAR’s goals, as well as her dynamic with Zhaan, the crew finally set off back towards home. CORUSCANT will bring them back to the familiarity of the KRALLET’S FANG, but before they can relax, Karrell has some fences to mend, as well as figuring out how to report on all they have learned…

 

With the simulator battle behind them, the crew finally are admitted to MASTER TOVAR’s inner circle, and briefed on what the job entails. However, finding out that their new employer is actually Zhaan’s sister is the least of the surprises in store as they dig into the purpose of this new organization…

Obstacle courses, trapped rooms, poison and a social gathering have all been tests of various kinds - tests the crew so far has managed to weather. MASTER TOVAR seems to know more about Zhaan than the crew does, so is she more than she seems? Also, there is one final test before them, will the crew be able to trust each other well enough to succeed?

 

After finding their way into the company of several different mercenary companies, the crew have battled through a deadly obstacle course and finally have some time to catch their breath. Or at least, so they think. When simple refreshments become deadly, can the team think their way out of this trap in time?

Having infiltrated MASTER TOVAR’s compound, the crew find themselves embroiled in a series of competitions. The first seems to be how to deal with a poaching Deveronian but more to Tazi’s horror, the second challenge is much more physical in nature….

With their new aliases firmly settled, if not easily remembered, the crew has their first encounters with the other mercenaries who are vying for spots in the mercenary company. Dinnertime bullies, rainbow uniforms and an-almost-food-fight make for quite an interesting day, but Zhaan’s solo interview with the mysterious leader, TOVAR will give some answers, and lead to still more questions...
