Episode 3.07: Chapter 10: Breadcrumbs and Battle Droids
The message about the Eborrean invasion reached Procopia as the TAPANI IMPERIUM medical frigate, TRINITY, prepared for the jump to hyperspace. Her course was for the CHALCEDON system with a supply of vaccines against Tor Ceti mutagens. However, her departure was cut short as the new message was relayed to GRAND ADMIRAL ANGELO VORD'ARCY of the ALLIANCE OF WORLDS.
D'Arcy was already embroiled with the unexpected arrival of an ancient Aw'akeen station - the CHENTAVARI PLEX - into the Tapani Sector. However, this new information from Kal Holst changed everything.
And then... so did D’Arcy. The Slave Lords and the Eborreans had just earned legendary admiral's undivided attention.
Eight standard hours, later the Trinity jumped to hyperspace with a hastily assembled flotilla as an escort. This group was a small part of the galaxy's first intergalactic task force. A historic effort brought about by Angelo D'Arcy with the help of Miles Vorkosigan and Tsu Vorboccioni. Forces from the Alliance of Worlds, Tapani Imperium, New Mandalore, Galactic Star Empire and more were on the move. A galaxy once divided, now stood together.
Meanwhile, in backwater systems of the Mid-Rim, Core Worlds, Colonies, and Outer Rim, corvettes from the Hutt "SLAVE LORDS" met with small fleets of concealed ships. Black, spider-like craft with the largest the size of Star Destroyers, the Eborrean insertion fleets came alive. Surprised by Kal Holst's message, the Slave Lord - Eborrean alliance reacted swiftly. They attacked weaker systems and shipping lanes in a mad dash to take slaves, all to fill their own forces. All the while, the rogue Mentat ALMON D'JOY counseled the fleet commanders on what move to make next.
While the galaxy rose together against this new threat, the heroes' shuttle arrives in the orbit around the gas giant Kiskua in the same system as Nar Shaddaa. The heroes open a communication channel to an old bulk transport freighter crewed by Jawas.
They hope to negotiate before the Jawas can strip the heroes original ship, the Kylo's Star, floating adrift near a long-abandoned Separatist base...
Components
Goals
Messages have been sent to Simon Tam and to the major governments of the Galaxy warning them of the Eborrean threat. Now the heroes face a new challenge!
But there are loose ends to wrap up...
... last, there is the fact that supposedly one ship is already on its way to Chalcedon system with a shipment of Tor Ceti creatures. Also, Danar - as Vance Kerplocken - is expected to make a future appearance alongside Chancellor Nalerine Kanter and greet Emperor Gregor Vortapani ... a man Danar works for and knows personally.
And what of Zaye and her two children, the adopted noghri daughter and grandchildren of Grakkus the Hutt? All of whom happens to be on Chalcedon this very moment. Will Danar honor the noghri bond he has with her as "Vance Kerplocken" ... or not?
