Gathering in their ship on Celanon, the party plots how it will infiltrate the hospital. As they discuss, they decide to see what Darth Bob is up to. Archer knocks on his door, but no one answers. After a few attempts, Archer ignites his lightsaber and slices the door open only to find the lights off and no one inside. Someone turns the lights on and reveals the room to be in a state of disarray. Parts lay strewn about all over, and two panels on the wall are open with wires hanging out. Tee-Gray and Taveus examine the panels to find no real damage, but a number of power circuits in the backup systems are missing. They party then decides to split up. Archer and William take a speeder bike to go check out the hospital while Tee-Gray and Taveus go to Comlink Shack to buy replacement parts for the backup power system. The others then go to a bar in the port where they can keep an eye on the ship.

A man in a dark cloak walks through the hallway of a prefab building. He approaches a doorway and pauses briefly before it. He opens the door, and screams of pain and agony assail his ears. He smiles slightly as he enters and approaches an armoured figure standing in the middle of the room.
"I am pleased Javert; you have done quite well. I did not expect you to throw yourself into the task with such enthusiasm after what happened to Teldrik."
"Why not? Teldrik was too impatient and too weak to defend himself when his impatience betrayed him."
"Yes, and that is why I have another task for you. Take the field unit and test it. Do it someplace small where it won't be noticed. I think that Yanos VI would be a good place. Take one of the third phase subjects with you too in case there's a problem. Do as much as you can, but do not draw unnecessary attention to yourself."
"As you wish. Should I finish up here, or do you want me to leave immediately?"
"Go now, and take Prental's ship, it is one of the fastest we have. I will oversee things from here now personally. I can see little reason that I should have to leave again in the near future."
On board their ships, the party speeds towards Celanon. William and Gand attempt to keep Billy Dee Stone alive despite the lack of any medical facilities on their ship. As the ships jump in to the Celanon system, they approach the planet and land. Gand, Ranger Bob, and Taveus leave to take Billy Dee in for his bounty and hope that Garn had time to clear their records. Ranger Bob waits outside the Imperial Detention Center in his landspeeder in case things go badly while Taveus and Gand take Billy Dee inside. Gand gives his bounty hunter's license to the clerk who runs some checks, and then comes around the counter with a pair of Army troopers. They take Billy Dee into custody, and the clerk returns around the counter. He makes some final entries and hands Gand's license and a credstick with the bounty on to Gand. Thankful that things went well for a change, they quickly leave and return to the ship. Back at the ship, the party begins to plan on how to capture the prison ship. They decide to travel to Gamorr and ambush it there, when Professor Arhris pipes in and suggests that they ambush the ship at one of the nav buoys on route to Gamorr rather than at Gamorr itself where the Imperial forces can rush to its assistance. Taveus loads his new Z-95 into one of the cargo bays of the Davrom's Fire, while the other leave the other Z-95 and B-23 Courier in the docking bay. Then they jump to wait at one of the nav buoys en route to Gamorr.
The party doesn't have to wait long to see the prison ship jump in, but it is escorted. Gand recognizes the four ships as new Imperial fighters, Cygnus Xg-1 Starwing-class Assault Gunboats. Ranger Bob launches immediately in his Z-95 to counter the Gunboats, while Tee-Gray moves the Davrom's Fire in towards the Detainer. Gand fires the ships missiles at the prison ship and manages to drop the shields on the ship while Tee-Gray carefully evades the turbolaser batteries on the prison ship. Draven loads the last of Vinosse's special missiles into the concussion missile launcher, and the prison ship is disabled. As Tee-Gray manuevers over the airlock of the prison ship, Ranger Bob and the gunners on the Davrom's Fire finish off the Gunboats except for one which manages to evade Ranger Bob until it jumps out at the nav buoy. Ranger Bob then returns to the ship to join the boarding party.
Draven leads the crew into the darkened hallways of the disabled prison ship and finds a group of Naval Troopers waiting for them on the other side of the airlock. After a short firefight, the party splits up to search the ship. Nancy and Taveus find some store rooms, while Archer, Dal, and Ranger Bob find some barracks. Draven and Gand though find the engineering room with stairs leading down to the lower level. Looking over a railing down into the engineering room though, Draven spots two technicians trying to restore power. In an effort to cut off their escape route he leaps over the railing, but lands off balance and collapses into a heap on the ground. Gand leans over the railing and shoots one tech, and the other climbs into a crawlway in the engine compartment. Draven gets up to catch him, but when he can't fit into the crawlway he shoots down it and kills the hapless tech. The rest of the party catches up, and they continue on into the lower level.
Exploring, the party finds a med bay and another storage room. As they move forward, they find three open doors. Looking into the first door they see four cells with prisoners in grey jumpsuits lying dead inside. Draven hears a noise coming from the furthest cell block and runs that way with Archer and Taveus close behind. Inside, two naval troopers have killed the first of the three prisoners there. Draven and the others rush to assist and kill the two troopers first. One of the prisoners calls for help and asks to be released, but the party hesitates. The ask the prisoner who he is and about the ship. He says his name is Endath, but he doesn't really know much about the ship other than his cell and he doesn't know who any of the other prisoners are either. Archer cuts the cell doors open with his lightsaber and releases the three surviving prisoners. The party lends Endath a heavy blaster pistol and continues on.

"Good evening, and welcome back to the Imperial Holonet News. I'm Gil McGillischlictski. In our top story tonight, peace and quiet can once again return to the Sumitra Sector. Reports just in say that Admiral Griff has confirmed the destruction of the Mon Calamari Cruiser Maximus. The Maximus, one of three retrofitted Mon Calamari Cruisers that defected to the Rebellion, was involved in the evacuation of a terrorist camp on Yavin IV. In a stunning victory, Admiral Griff's forces destroyed the Cruiser and its entire task force save for a group of shuttles on which some of the cowardly leaders of the Rebellion fled, leaving their men to die."
"In other news, Emperor Palpatine himself officiated over the opening of the fourth annual Fleet Admirals' Golf Invitational. Admiral Griff, considered a shoe in for the event, was unable to attend due to his duties in the Outer Rim. Admiral Zaarin from Starfighter Research and Development came in first this year with an impressive nine under par."
"And finally, after contact with the Stormtrooper garrison on Yanos VI was lost yesterday, Colonel Heyn Ilinar of the Imperial Army issued a statement today that the loss of communication is nothing to worry about and is most likely just a problem with the old transmitter array at the garrison. A technical team has already been sent to repair it."
"And now we break for a word from our sponsors. Come back after the break to hear the shocking allegations of a SAGroup intern at the Kuat ISB office."
