A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away

 Still on Nar Shadaa, the team is deep in discussion aboard the Ravager. Kel Orta reveals that the holocron contains information that the Jedi order would not approve of, giving details of several dark side techniques. Darjan suggests destroying the holocron saying no good will come of it. Cyrus and Kel Orta agree on keeping it but not on how to use it. The one thing they agree on is that the holocron will not go to Black Sun. They also agree to explain to Black Sun that they could not capture Barin. As they are in discussion Sai Rye receives a message asking him to return to Nixor station (shadowport) to meet with his contact, and to bring his new friends with him.

 Kel Orta contacts dock control for take off clearance, and realises that the ship is being held by the landing pads tractor beams. Kel Orta and Sai Rye head out to the landing pad control booth to see what is going, Darjan and Cyrus man the weapon turrets, not realising that Kel Orta had locked the weapons system to ‘safe’.

 On reaching the booth, Kel Orta realises that the operator is dead, as they turn to head back to the ship the booth explodes and they dive away to avoid the explosion. As they get to their feet, Sai Rye catches a bullet in the arm, as they sprint towards the ship they spot 6 snipers on far rooftops taking shots at them. They reach the ship and blast off.

 20 days later the Ravager arrives at Nixor station to meet up with Victor, Sai Rye’s contact. After docking Sai Rye leads the team to the Duck & Dive, a cantina where they can meet Victor. On the way, Cyrus is recognised as ‘the wookie killer’, as his fight was shown on Nar Shadaa and his fame has spread widely. After some harsh words the team scares off his fans and moves on.

 Arriving at the cantina, the team meets with Victor and heads to a back room for a quiet discussion. The team learns that Victor and his employer oppose the empire, and is trying to fight against it. Victor can’t offer the team much money but may be able to arrange repairs and fuel at friendly ports, and asks that they do not do anything to support the Empire. He is also ok with them working for Black Sun as long as it doesn’t conflict with his employers agenda. He also gives them a job, there is an Imperial listening station on Hypori that he wants destroyed in the next 5-6 weeks.

 The team picks up some cargo and jumps for Ryloth, travelling on main trade routes it only takes 13 days to get there. The team lands and meets up with Jazzer, they explain what happened and is clearly disappointed, he thought they were employees who got things done. After some thought, Jazzer explains he has a simple job for the team, he wants a Twil’Lek agitator killed at a public meeting, very visibly and very messily, to send a message.

 The agitator is Tark’o, he is arguing against the great Ryloth tradition of selling slaves, and is gathering a small following. Jazzer is offering 25,000Cr to the team for killing Tark’o, and will also give them 3 slave girls each. Also if they kill any of his sons at the meeting he will give them an extra slave girl per son.

The team accepts the job, and begin to make plans....
