Episode Twenty-Six

As alarms rang throughout the base on Eadu, General Organa received word that two Star Destroyers had entered orbit. She called for an immediate evacuation of the base, and tasked the Nightjar crew with getting the kyber cannon up and running as covering fire. Gage readied the ship, while the Mandalorians joined two Echani warriors in cutting down stormtroopers in the dormitory. Conrad aided the blind jedi, General Kota, in defending Leia, from the escaping spy, Mara Jade. Mara revealed her force abilities, and killed Kota with his own lightsaber; however, Conrad was able to chase her off. Mace Windu held back a group of stormtroopers dropping into the base, and managed to get onboard the Tantive IV with Leia, the Echanis, and Kota’s body. The rebel pilot, Rystar, chased after Mara in an X-Wing, and tracked her speeder through the narrow cliffs and passes of Eadu. He nearly caught her, but was unable to eject in time when he crashed his X-Wing into a Tie-Fighter. Meanwhile, the crew got the kyber cannon online and were able to escape among the rebel ships. Leia messaged that the rebels were gathering at the Alderaan Flotilla; however, the Nightjar set course for Nal Hutta.
