Episode Eight

As the Nightjar leaves the bunker on D’Qar, Conrad notices a crashed Ginivex “Fanblade” Cruiser and a humanoid being attacked by a pride of Nexu. The crew stops to lend aid, and rescue the wounded Zabrak, Waxus. The party learns that Waxus’ ship was damaged by tie fighters on Naboo, and he crash landed on nearby D’Qar. Waxus does not share the specifics of his mission, but indicates that he hates the Imperials and is searching for something. Naix asks Waxus about his unique axe, and learns that he can only get one by joining his people and completing quests. Naix speaks in Zabraki revealing for the first time to the party that he is also a Zabrak.

The Nightjar returns to the Mandalorian crash site, and Gage works through the night with their mechanic Castor, to repair the damaged Gozanti Cruiser. Meanwhile, Naix persuades their leader Argus, to relocate Clan Bor to the colony on Dxun! With the Mandalorian’s set to leave the planet, the Nightjar returns to the Naboo refugee camp. Conrad agrees to escort Senator Amidala, his assistant Lara, and his guard Joran, to Coruscant, and they reluctantly agree that it will be best for their people in the long term.

12 days later the Nightjar arrives on Coruscant in Galactic City, and the crew and senator are escorted by the Planetary Security Force (PSF) to the Naboo Embassy. The Gungan Ambassador, Um Lupps, immediately sets to work ordering a transport to D’Qar to rescue the refugees. Meanwhile, the party purchases supplies at the Gand Bastion supply shop, and heads to the Skysitter restaurant for a group meal of Kaadu ribs, raw steak, Blue Milk, and Gamorrean Ale, which Naix pays for. As they exit the restaurant, Conrad sees the bounty hunter he framed, Kessler Sett, exiting a modified S-161 Stinger Classic. Conrad hides and lets Kessler pass, realizing that the bounty hunter is likely tracking them. The party returns to the Embassy to collect Gage, but learn that Thalia has decided to stay at the Embassy. The crew say their goodbyes and return to the Nightjar to prepare for their trip to the rebel base on Eadu.
