Episode Seven

The Naboo refugees hold a funeral for the soldiers who were killed by the Sith. Afterwards, Conrad tells Senator Amidala that he will take him to Coruscant once he finishes his business on D’Qar. The Mandalorians help the people by standing watch during the night, while Kass meditates and senses that Conrad is not attuned to the dark side of the force. Gage is able to retrieve a holo-puck from J2W1’s body, and it shows a man with a moustache and cape, who indicates that the data contained within is of the utmost importance and must be delivered to General Organa.

Thalia cooks the crew breakfast; Kass and Conrad argue about giving the Sith the holocron; Gage gets mad at Kass’s willingness to sacrifice Naboo lives for the holocron; Thalia comforts Kass and points out that Conrad saved lives by giving up the holocron. Conrad preaches to the Mandalorians that the Jedi and Sith both preach extremes, though the Sith are worse. He reveals that he used to be trained as a Jedi until he left to think for himself. He declares that the people need to run the galaxy and there needs to be level ground for that to happen.

The Nightjar travels to the location marked by Jasper’s bounty fob, and finds a fortified bunker, a 10-foot turret, and a vegetable garden. Kass begins cutting into the bunker with his lightsaber, but is nearly killed by the turret. Conrad is able to reposition the Nightjar and Gage shoots the turret down. Naix rushes to revive Kass, who in turn stabilizes Jub-Jub with the force. Naix breaks into the bunker and confronts the two people inside: a rebel pilot named Lyra Feara, and Jasper’s bounty: the tie fighter pilot Donovan Feara. The party speaks with the couple and learns that Lyra was captured by Imperials above Pasaana and put in a POW camp. Donovan realized the Imperials were wrong and they escaped together, abandoning their former lives to hide on D’Qar. Jasper decides to not collect on the bounty in exchange for supplies from the couple: 5 rifles, 2 bacta packs, and 1 energy cell that could be used to repair the Manadalorian’s Gozanti Cruiser. Gage works into the night to repair their turret.
