Alaris Prime, Kashyyyk System, Mytaranor sector
A Quad-Five Courier descended fast from the clouds pursued by four V-21 T-Wing Interceptors hot on its tail. The predators unleashed a barrage of laser shots toward their unarmed target. The courier twisted and rolled out of the line of fire while continuing its descent.
Inside the cockpit Chant Sindu sweated, holding tightly on the controls while her astromech sat in the droid socket close by. “Typical, just typical.” The pilot exclaimed to herself. What was supposed to be a simple supply run for a Wookiee colony had turned into a desperate struggle for survival.
Frak these guys!
She thought in anger, entering the mist that covered the wilderness below. The courier violently shook as a laser shot exploded too close for comfort while Ness the droid beeped an alert about it. Swearing out loud in the native tongue Chant then said.
“Hold on girl, this is gonna get crazy.”
Suddenly she banks to the left, diving for the large river below. Ness let out a whine of concern at her partner but Chant only gritted her teeth while pressing forward. The pursuing interceptors continued to shoot at their quarry without much success due to the evasive action.
At the last possible moment Chant pulled the stick back and the Quad Five flew up, its belly barely splashed with water. The closest interceptor couldn’t pull up in time and crashed into the water with a great splash. That in turn blinded the second one who hit the river as well. The rest managed to pull up in time and went at full speed, intending to avenge their fallen comrades.
Ness chirped a short report causing her pilot to briefly grin. “Serves them right but we’re not of this yet.” As if to emphasize the point, the two remaining hostiles resumed firing as all of the ships flew low to the water. The Courier twists from one side to another repeatedly in response.

Miles away to the north was the shore of a rainforest hidden in a now ruined Jedi vault. One recently discovered by Transdosen raiders whom sent a large party riding on six skiffs with three Trandoshans on each one. In the center of the convoy was a heavy set reptile in an greeish jumpsuit and brown vest surrounded several his cohorts. Darrack savagely smiled as they approached the ruins from the eastern side. Even though is nothing of value left it can still serve well as new base on the moon. Further thoughts on the matter were interrupted when his commlink beeped. Hissing he took the call.
”What is it?”
Quickly a harried voice spoke on the other end.
”Boss we lost two of our fighters and we’re still pursing the target. But it’s coming your way.”
”What?!” Darrack shouted in outrage causing the others onboard to look in his direction. Swiftly he growled. “You fool take out that ship now or I’ll have your hide mounted on my wall.”
”Yes-yes right boss. We will.“
Turning off the call Darrack focused back on the task at hand. Nothing will stand in his way to glory he silently vowed.
