Jo'din Northstar
Dr. Ugavine Junior

Guest staring... Bossko B.

Bossko B. pilots the Sixty-Nine, Terri's HWK Freighter into the asteroid field, but it does not take long for them to be intercepted by Imperial TIE Fighters under the command of Commander Nothos.  Bossko throws the ship into a barrel roll around a mid sized asteroid...

Torm "Terri, are you okay?"
Terri is lying on her bunk talking slow breathes.  Jo'din hangs her head over the top bunk, her blue head-tails hanging down.
Torm "Terri, are you actually having an anxiety attack?"
Terri "I've not had this ship long.  That maniac is going to crash it!"
Torm "Bossko?  He's the best pilot in the galaxy, that's why Commander Ackbar requested him."
Terri "I can hear him making pew pew noises and he's not even firing the damn lasers!"

Torm held his hands up slid into the adjacent cockpit, having to balance himself as Bossko threw the ship into another aggressive evade manoeuvre. 

Torm "Bossko.  Yes we want to lose the TIEs, but remember this isn't your ship.  No tricks."
The Trandoshan turned to Torm with a grin.  Bossko B. "TRICKS!!!"  Then rolled the ship again.

THUMP!

Suddenly Torm could hear Terri in a fit of giggles.  He moved back into the rear cabin to see Terri in an absolute fit of laughter, even kicking her feet on the bed.  Jo'din was lying on the floor rubbing her head.

Terri "She fell off the bunk [howls of laughter]"

Bossko B. continued to barrel roll the starship through the asteroid field.

(Piloting roll 36!)

Bossko B. is easily able to lose the pursuing TIE fighters.

Soon the rebel starship approaches the hourglass shaped asteroid base of Commander Ackbar.  Boosko B. easily lands the starship.  Inside are many rebel technicians including many Verpine, the insect-lie aliens that live in the Roche Asteroid Belt who have been assisting the Rebel Alliance with the development of the B-Wing starfigher.

Terri is somewhat uncomfortable around the Verpine, not for them being aliens, but because they are techs, she has enough putting up with Ugavine Junior.  Junior himself is happy to chat with the Verpine and engages in conversation with the senior technician, Suskafoo.

Soon Terri & Torm are approached by a Quarren, Salin Glek, aide to Commander Ackbar.

Salin Glek "I trust you have a valid reason to jeopardise the security of this base."
Torm "Well hello to you too.  We have a message for Commander Ackbar."
Salin Glek "Well give it me.  I will see the Commander gets it."
Torm (with a smile) "Well, you are the one that brought up security, I think I'll pass on the message myself."
Salin Glek "That won't be possible."
Torm "err... Bossko..."
Bossko "ha haaa... it's Cthulhu!  Wibbly wibble woo woo!!"
Torm "I could leave you to discuss the matter with Bossko B.?"
Salin Glek "I'll take you to the Commander."

Commander Ackbar and Lt. Pollard greet the Warriors and Torm hands Ackbar the holodisc.

A message plays from Alliance Supreme Leader Mon Mothama, instructing Commander Ackbar and the Warriors to take the B-Wing prototypes to the agreed coordinates, whereupon Ackbar will assume the rank of Admiral and put the B-Wings into production.  Mon Motham explains this is critical if the Alliance is to combat the new Imperial Nebulon-B Frigates.

EPISODE TWO - The Empire Strikes

Suddenly alarms sound!

The base is under attack!  And Imperial Assault Shuttle is moving to dock in the main docking bay.

Commander Ackbar "I'll need time to download the data from the central computer."
Torm  "On it.  Terri, get to the docking bay, (into comlink) Junior, we need you in Command right away."
Lt. Pollard "All out Techs and pilots are in the bay!"
Commander Ackbar "Yes.  They are."
Torm  "Wait, you already have pilots?  And Bossko B. is down there with them?!"
Commander Ackbar "Correct."
Torm "You knew this would happen?"
Commander Ackbar "I have suspected a spy in our camp. for some time."
Torm "So you asked for... oh.  You asked for Bossko B.!"
Commander Ackbar "We'll make a tactician of you yet Mister Torm."

Terri, Jo'din, Lt. Pollard and... Bossko B. engage the Imperial Stormtroopers as they disembark the shuttle.

It doesn't go well for the Imperials!  (Rolled several rounds of combat and the Stormtroopers were beaten by the Warriors)

Meanwhile in the Command Centre Ugavine Junior had halved the time Ackbar needed (Computers roll of 26)

Commander Ackbar, Torm and Junior manage to flee the base in Escape Pods, whereas Terri, Jo'din and Bossko B. are able to get back to Terri's ship to flee the base, taking with them several Verpine techs and Lt. Pollard.

EPISODE THREE - Trip to Shantipole

The Escape Boats are picked up by a Verpine Starship and the Warriors are reunited with Commander Ackbar.

Ackbar explains that he needs the Warriors to sneak into Shantipole base, set the reactor to explode, then get out with the B-Wing prototype starfighters.  The mention of starfighters makes Bossko B grin.

The Warriors set off along with Suskafoo and Lt. Pollard in two Verpine Hoppers, nimble but unarmed space pods.

Pod 1 - Bossko B, Ugavine, Jo'din Suskafoo
Pod 2 - Torm, Terri, Pollard

Showing off, Bossko B twice clips an asteroid, though with no damage.  Torm takes it steady.
They intercept a coded transmission, Ugavine is able to de-code it (Security roll 18) and identify it is from Imperial Probe Droids in the Asteroid field searching for the Rebels.

Bossko hold the ship steady, Jo'din is able to reach out with the FORCE and push the droids into an Asteroid causing them to explode.

As they near Shantipole base they have the negotiate an Asteroid Storm with both pilots succeeding (despite Bossko and Torm BOTH rolling two 1's on the Wild die in their three checks!)

EPISODE FOUR - To Retake Shantipole

The Warriors decide to approach Hanger Bay 2, destroyed by the Empire, but they should be able to access.

The damaged bay has a makeshift airlock.  Passing through they find several Imperial Technicians, Torm signals the all but Terri to hold back.

Tech "Who are you?"
Torm "I'm Grognard, Bounty Hunter hired by your Commander.  Rebels are in this area, you are to return to the shuttle at once."
(Torm makes a Con roll of 33! )
The Techs immediately clear the area.

Torm: "Okay, Myself, Terri and Ugavine will head to the Reactor.  Jo'din, you go with Bossko, Pollard and Suskafoo and warn the Verpine they need to leave."
Bossko "What is our theme song?"
Torm "What?"
Bossko "We need a theme song.  We can play it over the base speakers."
Torm (in exasperation) "No.  Just... go save the Verpine.  Quietly.  Like a Ninja."
Bossko "I am the Golden Ninja.  The Golden Ninja does not need to be quiet."
Pollard "He's going to blow our whole plan."
Torm "Yeah.  But he's also our best chance of getting out of here.  Meet at the Docking bay in no more than 30 minutes."

Jo'din's group is able to warn the Verpine, meeting with the Verpine hive leader Please Turn to Page Forty-Nine*

* Please Turn to Page Forty-Nine is not good at languages and took his Basic language name from a line in a book.  It could have been worse.

Torm however runs into a Stormtrooper Patrol.  To keep things quiet they set weapons to stun

Six Stormtroopers do manage to put up a fight with Tom and Terri both being Wounded.  Ugavine is able to treat their wounds after the fight.  The Stormtroopers as disarmed and locked in a nearby room.

In the Reactor Room Terri sets the explosives given by Commander Ackbar. 
(Terri spends a Force Point to be sure of the roll and rolls an amazing 44 on ten dice)

Heading to the Hanger Bay Jo'din's party also encounter a squad of Stormtroopers.

Stormtrooper #1 "Halt or I'll..." Bossko swipes his blaster off him.
Stormtrooper #2 "Hey..."  Bossko swipes his blaster from him.
Stormtrooper #3 raises his blaster to shoot Bossko, Bossko swipes his blaster from him.

Pollard and Suskafoo just watch in disbelief.  Pollard looks at Jo'din, Jo'din shrugs.

Bossko B. "Now.  Would any of you Bantha Poodoo like to give me your blasters?"

The three remaining Stormtroopers... yes, Bossko swipes their blasters from them.  All of the Stormtroopers retreat.
 

EPISODE FIVE - Battle in Hanger Bay #1

The Warriors meet up at the hanger bay entrance.  But the Imperials are in full control.

Two Stormtrooper squads of 8 plus Captain and a Heavy Weapons Team.

Bossko looks at Ugavine who hacks the comms system... let the music play and combat proceed!

With the music blaring out the hanger bay speakers Bossko B. surfs into the hanger bay on his hoverboard, spends a Force Point and attacks both squads of Stormtroopers incapacitating them all.  Terri takes out the Heavy Weapons troopers.

Torm exchanges fire with Salin Glek who then flees to the Imperial Shuttle.  Jo'din gives chase and disarms Glek with her lightsaber.

The Freed prisoners board the Shuttle with the pilots, including Bossko B. and Torm running for the B-Wings.  The Rebels flee the Asteroid Base in plenty of time as the set explosives go off destroying the asteroid!

EPISODE SIX - To run the Gauntlet

By the time the Warriors get clear of the asteroid belt the Verpine fleet led by Commander Ackbar has already engaged the Nebulon-B Frigate of Captain Nothos.  And the Verpine are taking heavy damage.

Bossko B. "Oh hell yeah!" 
Bossko opens the comms to the Imperial ship, Torm as his gunner just shook his head.
Bossko B.  "Hey, Nothos!  Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."

Bossko B. flies his B-Wing on direct combat course with Imperial Frigate.

Bossko makes mere reaction evades, neither the /frigate or the TIEs can hit him.  He makes several passes allowing Torm to fire the ships Photon torpedoes at the Frigate engines.  At first the hull of the Frigate is too stong, but the 3rd torpedo rocks the capital ship.  It's hull holds out again, but Torms fifth torpedo breaches the hull!

Blue sparks explodes from the ships engine bays followed by a series of explosions causing the Frigates engines to die.

Torm "All ships, the Frigate is down!  Prepare the jump to hyperspace."

Nothos "Savour this victory while you may, Rebels.  Remember the name of Commander Bane Nothos, for one day I shall find you and make you pay - and dearly - for what you have done!"
Bossko B.  'That'll be two dollars and fifteen cents!"

Two days later Ackbar is promoted to Admiral and the Warriors receive full commission as Alliance Officers.
