Imperial forces converge on ALDERAAN as word of a Jedi attack on a refugee camp spreads like wildfire. The violent evil doers are none other than the notorious criminals, NIK VAR and KAYLEIA, apparently now being led by a shadowy Bothan crimelord known as "The Straight". Bounties for the capture of this Jedi Criminal Ringleader have risen to a cool 20,000, dead or alive.
As assault shuttles deploy onto Alderaan's surface, the Jedi are bid to leave quickly by their political benefactor, Lord Marcedes Danderful. They barely have time to collect the evidence left behind by their droid assassins before departing safely into hyperspace.
Upon exiting the Alderaan system, a message from Lord Danderful appears on their consoles...
After fleeing from Alderaan, the crew of the Ming Meng was briefed on it's latest mission: to seize vital logistics information from a remote Imperial listening post. The mission was risky, the first of many actions against the new Empire.
Learning that the Imperials were working with local pirates and slavers, Cresada decided that the best idea was deception. Taking charge of the situation, she led the rest of the crew in a bait and switch- the MingMeng would fake a massive power failure, inviting pirates to attack. The crew would then ambush the boarders, taking them by surprise.
The MingMeng exited hyperspace in the Sirius system, and cut off all power and lifesupport systems. Several hours later, a pirate ship named the Bloody Wake showed up, as predicted. The Feeorin pirates were no match for the Jedi. Interrogation and the ship's logs revealed that the Bloody Wake was part of a much larger pirate armada led by the feared Ubese captain, Alastair Jaxter,
Jaxter was a vain being, and distributed a number of holotapes and documentaries featuring himself to his crew. Akis Gorda proposed a ruse in which he would impersonate the pirate captain, and demand to dock on the Imperial output for repairs. After several hours of study, the scam was ready. Taking the Bloody Wake, the crew departed for the heart of Sirius VI and the Imperial outpost..
