First Post
The Imperial star destroyer Relentless floats through space, a multitude of lights reflecting off of its stark grey hull. The three-tiered Kwenn space station orbits silently over the planet below, the large Imperial ship not its only customer of the day. Numerous ships have docked at the facility, the majority of them refueling and restocking before heading into or out of the Outer Rim.
The audience chamber of the Relentless is dark, its lights dimmed to strike even more fear into the heart of the condemned that will soon enter. Twin blast doors slide open, revealing the dark interior of the massive chamber to the captured. An Imperial captain stands upon a high platform, flanked by lower officers. The two stormtroopers march in, dropping a manacled prisoner at the feet of Captain Parlan, the commander of the warship.
"The charge," Parlan demands, his voice void of any emotion.
One of the stormtroopers snaps to attention. "Piracy, sir," he snaps. "Caught him just a few hours ago."
"Kill the scum," Parlan replies coldly. The stormtroopers charge their rifles and throw the pirate down to the ground.
"Wait!" the prisoner screams, frantically trying to get the attention of the officer who had just condemned him to death. "I have something to bargain with. Information important to the Emperor ... in exchange for my life."
Parlan's dead eyes gleam triumphantly as the prisoner cries out for mercy. He raises a hand to halt the execution. "Go ahead. I'm all ears."
"Tallon...it concerns Adar Tallon."
Parland listens intently to the pirate's tale, then issues orders to the junior officers at his side. Quietly and apparently out of sight to the eyes of the others, a female ensign pockets a data storage pad and slips away as the others are dismissed.
The commander issues one final order. "Lieutenant Voor, send for the bounty hunters."

Kwenn Space Station
S'Sheer: Are you sure this is where we're supposed to meet this Dana person?
Darryn" Sure I'm sure! This is the place in her message--Kwenn space station.
Als: Yup, good ol' Kwenn. The final fuel and supply point before the Outer Rim Territories. Why would Dana choose such a desolate place for a pick up?
S'Sheer: Probably because her last assignment was an undercover mission aboard the Relentless.
Stella: You mean she was on that Imperial monstrosity parked outside?
Als: Not only on it, she served as an officer these past few months, gathering all kinds of information for the Alliance.
S'Sheer: Still, her mission had another few weeks to go. I wonder why she decided to jump ship early?
Stella: Her message sounded urgent. Code Green: Agent in trouble, pick up immediately.
Als: And she mentioned the name Adar Tallon.
Darryn: Who?
S'Sheer: What planet are you from? Commander Tallon was a hero back before the Empire, in the days of the Old Republic.
Als: He was a brilliant tactitian and naval officer. He served with Dodonna back in the Clone Wars, too. His starfighter strategies were years ahead of their time, and still used today.
Darryn: You mean the guy whose statues were torn down by the Emperor a few years back? That Adar Tallon? I thought he was dead.
Als: He is. Commandor Tallon died fighting pirates in the Dalchon sector. His ship was completely obliterated: no wreckage, no survivors. Not even enough to give a decent burial.
S'Sheer: Don't be gross. Let's just get to the rendezvous point, find Dana, and get back to the ship as soon as we can. I'll feel a whole lot better with some distance between us and that Star Destroyer out there.
Als: She should be right around this next corner.
S'Sheer: There she is! Wasn't she supposed to be alone?
Stella: I've got a bad feeling about this...
Dana slumps to the ground for seemingly no reason. Near a rapidly closing airlock you see her lying at the feet of an Imperial officer. You can recognize her from the holofile in your ship's computer. Next to the Imperial are two rough and dangerous-looking customers: a short and wiry female in padded armor, and a tall, scaley humanoid armed with a blaster rifle. Behind them, beyond the airlock, stands a figule dressed in deadly Mandalorian battle armor. Under his helmet, you can feel him glare at you as the door slams shut.
