It is a dark time for the Rebel Alliance. With the loss of Admiral d'Arcy, Alliance forces are spread between a holding action against new attacks from the Galactic Empire and searching for their missing Grand Admiral.

 

In a small section of Tapani Sector, a desperate race against time takes place. The Mismatch speeds along in pursuit of a mysterious smuggler ship that supposedly holds the missing Admiral. Unknown to both sides, other contestants have secretly joined this contest. This is a race where winning would bring a turning point towards freedom, but failure could plunge the galaxy into a terrible darkness.


At a bar that combines the best of "Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini" and "Flying Purple People Eater" in its name, in the Spacers' Row district of the spaceport city Delar, on the almost-unnoticed planet Nella of the eponymous Nella System, on the main route between Mecetti Province and Calipsa Province, three disguised Imperial Officers make a deal for alternative transport with one Blood Wind Raider pilot. They desperately need to complete their mission and get their prisoner to Emperor Palpatine as ordered. Unfortunately, Bene Gesserit assassins and Nightsister operatives openly act to hunt them down, each faction wanting Admiral d'Arcy for their own purposes.
But wait, it gets worse:

 

It looks like someone's hired legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett to look into this matter....

 
 
The bar in question is the Purple Gamorrean.
 
Nobody got what they wanted in this mess: the Nightsisters and the Bene Gesserit did not manage to kill the Imps, the Imps did not manage to keep their prisoner, and we got the crap beaten out of us by Boba Fett. We tried to move the fight out of the bar as quickly as we could, but there was definitely some damage.
 
Okay, it is not true that nobody got what they wanted: Khun met a bounty hunter duo, Ursula and Kayla, who signed up to work for him for a while, to see if they liked it. They liked it VERY MUCH. Nowadays, the two of them jointly are House Vorboccioni’s chief Armsmen. Yeager Lexics got on friendly terms with a local merchant who sold him a big honkin' gun.
 
And I, well ... I found one of the lost Jedi Masters: Sifo-Dyas, who had quietly left the Jedi Order at the encouragement of Qui-Gon Jinn to sort himself out without the Jedi Council's input.
