Episode Thirty-Eight

The Nightjar rendezvoused with the Rebel Alliance on the Tantive IV near the Alderaan Graveyard. General Leia Organa outlined the plan to lure the Praetorians away from their attack on Coruscant by sacrificing the Alderaan Flotilla. Meanwhile, the Rebel fleets would rush into the Graveyard’s asteroid field and teams would try to disable the Star Destroyers. Any team that was able would also try to board Starkiller’s Vulcan Star Destroyer that was waiting in the Graveyard. Ideally, the Sith and Empire would destroy eachother while the Rebels systematically disabled them both.

The Nightjar used its emissions sink to board the Devastator II Star Destroyer, with the plan to defeat the Praetorian there and extract the Rebel spy, Vashira Vondar. The crew took out the stormtroopers in the hanger, and rendezvoused with Vashira, who was revealed to be the handmaiden, Thalia. Thalia guided the crew to the prison level where they rescued force sensitive prisoners who were being tested on, and escorted them back to the Nightjar. The crew took an elevator to a long hallway where they were attacked by six darktroopers. Though the crew defeated them, they took significant damage.

Meanwhile, Vanchu led Clan Bor in a HALO drop onto the Tie-Fighter storage ship, the Gauntlet. The Mandalorians managed to infiltrate the ship, set off the reactor core, and jump from the hangar bay as the ship detonated. Concurrently, Mace Windu led the jedi wookiees onto the Star Destroyer Nemesis, and dispatched stormtroopers in the hangar. One of the wookiees fell to his death as they mounted the elevator shaft to confront the Emperor’s Sentinel. They managed to kill the Sentinel but not before he rammed the Nemesis into the Tantive IV, disrupting the Revanites battle meditation, killing the wookiees, and leaving Mace trapped on the burning ship.
