Episode Three

Naix makes several enhancements to his suit, allowing him to increase his durability and gaining a wrist mounted spike for executions. The party arrives on Naboo, but lands the Nightjar away from the capitol, Theed, when they see tie fighters and stormtroopers in the city. Kass leads the party towards the city because he grew up there, but quickly gets them lost which forces them to camp for the night. That night Jasper catches a porg in a snare for breakfast, and Jub-Jub eats the bait from J2W1’s trap. In the morning they pass a farmhouse on their way to the city to purchase a new hyperdrive. Theed has been occupied by Imperials, and the shop they enter has a stormtrooper posted at the entrance. Kass tries unsuccessfully to manipulate the shopkeeper with the force, and the party leaves. As the party approaches the Meesa Market cantina, they notice that there are digital warrants out for Naix and Jasper (10,000 credits each) following the events on the star destroyer, Vulcan. As they turn to leave they are acknowledged by a bounty hunter with a red wing on his helmet as he enters the cantina. Fearing they might soon be discovered the party splits up.

The Mandalorians hide in an alley where they are approached by stormtroopers. Jasper blows them up with a grenade, and then he and Naix scramble to the rooftops. Meanwhile, Kass, Conrad, and J2W1 meet a Twilek mechanic named Gage, who agrees to sell them the part they need to repair their hyperdrive. The party reunites outside the city limits, with the Mandalorians throwing another grenade as distractions and climbing over the wall. Gage realizes that the party is avoiding the Imperials and leads them back to her farmhouse/scrapyard. Naix mentions that Kass has a lightsaber which peaks Gage’s interest before Kass lies that he killed a jedi for it. Gage is unsure what to believe, and begins calling Kass “Jedi Slayer.” At the farmhouse Gage offers to fix their ship for 5400 credits, and inquires if they’d come to check on Queen Amidala’s missing body.
