Echoes from the Battle of the Emerald Cliffs are resonating through the Vargis Tau system. With the destruction of his second base on the jungle world of Zebulon Prime led the pirate lord Ral Duris to flee the system, taking his flagship Obsidan Phoenix and his few surviving starfighters with him.

Some claim he’s withdrawn to a shadowport somewhere in the Outer Rim to plot his revenge; others say he’s taken up hunting prey near the Taris system, still others say he’s on Nar Shaddaa recruiting bounty hunters to strike back at those who destroyed his bases and captured two starships. (more…)

Pirates threaten the Vargis Tau system! A band of pirates has taken up residence on the Prime, one of the twin worlds of the Zebulon system. Transports and freighters from its sister world of Zebulon Beta have been easy prey for the piratical scum thanks to the traitor, Torg Shepherdson, the former assistant portmaster at Beta’s capital city of Jolus.

After being found and taken into custody by padawans from the local Jedi Academy, the traitor was nearly killed in an ambush by members of the Scarbrother swoop bike gang. With help from the crew of the Aeon Harrier, the Jedi apprentices defeated the Scarbrothers, as well as the truth threat to Shepherdson: a Zabrakian bounty hunter named Koth.

Believed to have been hired by the pirates to kill or capture Shepherdson, Koth fired a single, laser bolt at the traitor only to have it blocked by the Jedi Rade Gasa. When the Jedi and their new allies turned to pursue him, the bounty hunter jetted away.

Meanwhile, on Zebulon Prime, Jedi Knight Lornn Varri and the padawan Rann, along with a contingent of planetary militia,  the pirate base.

They arrive to find it stripped clean of all useful materials and the freighter Grey Lurker abandoned in its hanger. Unfortunately for the investigation, the ship’s data stores had been removed or wiped, leaving no further leads. (more…)
