Episode Twenty-Nine

The crew docked on Kijimi for ten days while the Nightjar was retrofitted. The ship’s transponder was registered as “Jackdaw”; it was painted chrome with blue accents; the right gun was upgraded to a heavy laser canon; and a heat sink was added to mask stealth detection. Meanwhile, a human sniper named Claywill Vanderguard joined the crew; Naix named the B2 droids Murder and Death; and Jasper finally got his bounty hunter license, and turned in Kessler’s two bounties for 20, 000 credits. The crew also gathered for Kass’s funeral. As they eulogized him Kass’s body vanished from the pyre to became one with the force.

96 hours later the Nightjar docked on Taris to pursue Jasper’s 100,000 credit bounty. The crew tracked the multiple fob signals to a scrapyard near the ocean, and came face to face with four clone troopers turned crab fishers, Hate, A-67, Click, and L1N. The crew attacked the fisherman, killing two of them, but their true target was revealed to be the former bounty hunter, Boba Fett. Fett set to work with his flamethrower and pushed the crew to their limits. Naix went invisible but was inadvertently shot by Claywill, and bled to death before the crew could stabilize him. Defeated, Conrad asked Fett to let them take Naix’s body and leave Taris.
