Episode Nine

Ambassador Um Lupps and Senator Amidala gift the crew of the Nightjar with a Kolto plant, which can be used to make med packs. The crew thanks them and departs for Eadu. Along the way Gage helps Naix add a grappling hook to his gauntlet which he says he’s in her debt for. Gage also modifies a Marksman-H training remote for Conrad, and explains that they will require something to amplify the Sith communicator’s range if he wants to track them. Meanwhile, Waxus trains with his bow, and Jub-Jub collects debris for his sling.

Kass has a force vision of 2 jedi, one of which fades away. In the jedi’s place, two Sith appear, and then a third Sith appears standing in a cloak. Kass interprets this vision as a sign that the Sith they encountered are apprentices to a more powerful master, and Conrad concurs. Conrad tells Kass that he has killed a Sith before, and they agree that the missing droid transports cannot fall into Sith hands.

The Nightjar arrives on the storm planet Eadu, and takes minor damage when it clips a mountain during a thunderstorm. The ship lands in an open field and the crew is aided by a community of nerf herders who have seen ships landing in the nearby mountains. A woman named Hural sells Waxus nerf cheese for 40 credits, and a man named Darwin agrees to escort them to the mountains via nerfs for 200 credits and to wait for them to return for 200 more credits.

As the party traverses a high ledge, they are attacked by three fyrnocks. Kass attempts to leap at one of the creatures but slips and falls; Kass insists that Conrad take the shot instead of helping him, which gains respect from Naix. Waxus pulls Kass up, and Naix uses his grappling hook and dark saber to finish off the final fyrnock. The crew enters a cave and is attacked by the much larger mother fyrnock. Kass summons the force through his lightsaber and severs the fyrnock’s arm, before the rest of the party finish it off. On the other side of the cave the crew discovers a hangar bay guarded by rebel soldiers, but a human pilot named Deagyn lets them in when Gage reveals that her mother was a rebel pilot. The crew explains they have important data for the resistance, and then Conrad and Naix leave to explore the nearby Kyber crystal refinery. The rest of the party is taken up to a training room where General Leia Organa is sparring with two women in white, while an elderly man with a lightsaber observes.
