Priority Transport OfficerMasters Jedi, Lieutenant, Captain.Such a pleasure. Welcome, welcome. Greetings. You are headed to the capital maybe? Yes? There is a direct shuttle to Coruscant. It is small but comfortable.I was contacted by a group of important people - Jedi Masters Shan and Syo, and General Garza. And Captain, you have two tickets purchased by one named Syreena?Your tickets also give you transport on the Esseles. Very comfortable, very fast. VIP Republic transport. Yes?OperativesGlad to hear it.Priority Transport OfficerExcellent, excellent. Be warned, transport sometimes goes through dangerous space. When you are ready, go through airlock. It will lead you straight to the Esseles. |
Dialog transcript |
Vyn AsaraExcuse me? Yes, could I speak with you for a moment? You're a soldier - Republic Army, right? You're a Jedi, aren't you?. And Captain, some passengers from Ord Mantell mentioned your reputation as a first-rate pilot.I'm sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you've been contacted by any of the ship's officers.MeteorI have not been contacted by any of the ship's personnel. Is there a situation?Vyn AsaraCaptain? VoidhoundI don't normally do civilian transport, but I could definitely get this hunk of metal to Coruscant faster.Vyn AsaraNo, no. I'm sorry, that isn't quite what I meant. Masters?Hero of TythonI haven't spoken to any members of the crew. But anyone who needs the help of a Jedi will have it.Barsen'thorNo member of the ship's crew has sought me out. Should they have?Vyn AsaraI overheard some passengers talking. You've got quite a reputation. Has the ship's crew spoken to you at all?Barsen'thorI sense great concern. Why don't you tell us what's wrong?Vyn AsaraI heard a rumor that there's an Imperial warship following us. I know, I know- the Treaty of Coruscant. But I don't trust the Empire to keep the peace.It's hard not to be a little afraid - knowing what the Empire was capable of back in the war.VoidhoundHey, there's nothing wrong with looking over your shoulder every once in a while.MeteorThe Imps will always be a threat - no treaty is going to change that.Vyn AsaraIt's good to hear I'm not the only one concerned about the Imperials. I just thought that the ship's crew is more likely to talk to someone like you if there's trouble.MeteorTelling the passengers that Imperials are nearby would only cause a panic.Vyn AsaraI suppose. Still, I think it's unsettling to think that there might be Imperials behind us.IntercomWarning! Warning! Incoming fire! All hands, brace for incoming! Repeat, all hands- |
Dialog transcript |
Vyn AsaraCan you hear me? Are you alright? Good, good. That was quite a hit, we're lucky not to be hurt.MeteorThe Imperials seem to have forgotten about the treaty....Vyn AsaraI knew the treaty would break eventually, but I didn't think I'd actually be here to see it.Listen- you have to get to the bridge. The captain will need all of the help he can get right now- go, hurry!MeteorLet's just hope it's not too late to help. We should head for the bridge and see if there's any way we can lend a hand.Vyn AsaraIt's never too late to try. With your skills, I'm sure you could make a difference. Good luck. |

First Officer HakenCome on, Tyrus! You can make it, sir, you can make it!Navigator PlexHe's gone, sir. You're in charge now - what are our orders?First Officer HakenYour orders? Our weapons are out, shields are out, comms are out! There's nothing we can do!Barsen'thorThe path may not always be clear, but that doesn't mean there is no path.First Officer HakenWhy is this Jedi standing on our bridge spouting nonsense? We're in a situation here! If you want to be useful, Jedi, then get out of here and stop interrupting us!VoidhoundIt sounds like you guys could use a captain with some experience.First Officer HakenWho is this? Who do you think you are? Get out!MeteorGive us a sitrep, people - what have we got?First Officer HakenIs your hearing bad, soldier? Because I'm pretty sure I just went over that. We're in the middle of a situation here, the bridge is off-limits.Navigator PlexSir, we need all the help we can get. If we don't keep it together here, we're finished.First Officer HakenKeep what together? The Imperials have us by the throat! We're as good as dead already.MeteorWhat's wrong with you? Are you really going to let your ship fall to the Imperials so easily?First Officer HakenThat ship behind us is one of the biggest in the Imperial fleet. We didn't stand a chance. I just can't believe this is happening.VoidhoundAre the engines still working? Is there any chance we could run?Navigator PlexThe engines are operational, but we're caught in a tractor beam. Impossible to run for it.Communication Officer RasteSir! Incoming message - the Imperial ship is hailing us!First Officer HakenWhat? Oh. Well, put them on.Grand Moff KilranRepublic transport Esseles, this is Grand Moff Rycus Kilran. Your defenses are entirely disabled. Attempt no resistance.VoidhoundWe're aware of our situation, Kilran. Just tell us why you're here.Grand Moff KilranCome, now. I think it's obvious I'm not here for friendly diplomacy. Your ship is transporting a known anti-Imperial terrorist and seditionist: the so-called "Ambassador" Vyn Asara. I've come to collect her.First Officer HakenWho? We didn't take on any passengers by that name. I've never even heard of this person!Grand Moff KilranInteresting. Lying or incompetent? No matter. My agents aboard your ship have confirmed the ambassador is there.MeteorWhat are you going to do about it, Kilran? You can't force us to hand this person over.Grand Moff KilranI'm fairly confident that I can. Imperial soldiers are preparing to board your ship through its primary air lock. My agents will ensure that you do not interfere with them.If you attempt to stop my men from arresting Ambassador Asara, I will have every living thing aboard the Esseles killed.Hero of TythonWhere is the primary air lock? We'll stop the Imperials as they try to board.Navigator PlexWeren't you listening? If we try to fight, they'll slaughter us! We have to cooperate!Let's not panic. We just figure out who this ambassador is and hand her over. No problem.First Officer HakenIt won't matter. Kilran has us, now. He'll kill us all - he's famous for it. The only one he wants alive is the ambassador.If Kilran gets the ambassador while we're sitting in his sights, we're goners. Those soldiers have to be stopped before they can succeed.Barsen'thorWe'll show these Imperials the error of their ways.First Officer HakenIt's very brave of you to volunteer. Listen- I'm sorry I lost it earlier. It means a lot to have your help right now. Thank you. I'm sure you're up to anything the Imps can throw at us.I'll have our security team meet you by the primary air lock. They haven't seen much action, but Commander Narlock knows his stuff. Good luck. We're all counting on you. |
Dialog transcript |
Commander NarlockThis is it, men. This is what you've been training for. The Imperials are coming, and we're not going to let them past, are we?Security Team Member 1Sir, no, sir!Commander NarlockWe won't be fighting alone! We have some very experienced volunteers - the Imps will never know what hit them!Hero of TythonMy lightsaber is at your service, Commander.Commander NarlockDo you hear that, men? Our friend here is going to chop through these Imps like nothing!Barsen'thorThe Force will guide us to victory.Commander NarlockThe Force will be with us, men! We'll be unstoppable!VoidhoundHope you're ready to see a real professional at work.Commander NarlockA professional! We've got nothing to worry about, men - we can't lose!MeteorHavoc Squad, reporting for duty!Commander NarlockHavoc Squad! The best in the Republic, and they're fighting by your side, men. We can't fail! We won't!The Imps will cut through any second now - we need to take up defensive positions. Move up, men! Get ready! |
Dialog transcript |
Commander NarlockHah! Victory! We've done it, men, we've done it! The ship is saved!Vyn AsaraI'm sorry, Commander, but that... that isn't the case.MeteorWe defeated the entire boarding party - nobody could've slipped past us.Vyn AsaraNo, you're right - it's not you the Imperials slipped past.VoidhoundYou're Ambassador Asara? That Imperial said that you're the one they were sent to capture.Vyn AsaraListen, that's not important right now - we have a serious problem. First Officer Haken walked us right into a trap. The attack on this air lock was a ruse.After Haken sent you here, Imperial commandos snuck aboard, they were led by a Mandalorian mercenary called "Ironfist." The Mandalorians work for the Empire - they're some of the best warriors in the galaxy. And Ironfist is one of the most famous. It gets worse, I'm afraid. Ironfist and his Imperial commandos stormed the bridge, and now the entire area is locked down tight. That's why I rushed to find you. We have to do something - we have to act fast.VoidhoudHow did you learn about all of this?Vyn AsaraI watched the whole thing happen on the security cams.Commander NarlockLook, what is this all about? Why are the Imperials so desperate to capture you?Vyn AsaraBecause of my work. I'm a Republic ambassador. I travel to Imperial-controlled planets and convince their governments to come over to our side.Barsen'thorTurning potential enemies into friends spares us unnecessary conflicts.Vyn AsaraNot all battles can be avoided, but diplomacy can gain us so much more than fighting.VoidhoundTalk about running dangerous cargo. Who gets you in and out of these places?Vyn AsaraI slip in on passenger ships like this one and blend in. But we can talk about my work later.Commander NarlockWe need to retake the bridge. The longer we leave the Imperials in control, the harder it will be to remove them.Vyn AsaraI already told you, Ironfist has the bridge locked down. There's no way in or out.Commander NarlockA security lockdown... that is bad. Chief Engineer Salen might know of a workaround.MeteorHopefully we can get to Salen before the Imperials. Do you know where he is?Dol NarlockHe and his team will be down in the engineering section. I'm sure they'll be able to help us.Vyn AsaraWe'll need a diversion. If the Imperials notice the hatches to engineering opening, they'll flood the area with soldiers.Dol NarlockMy men and I can handle that. Form up, men! We're going to go start some trouble!MeteorLet's get that bridge open!Dol NarlockWe'll give those Imps something to think about, won't we, boys?Vyn AsaraIt's a lot to ask of you, I know. But we have to get the bridge open. I'll go along with Commander Narlock. Once you've cleared a path to engineering, I'll double-back and join up with you there. Good luck. |
Dialog transcript |
VeppHey! Hey, Chief, come here! Look, there's someone out there, on the other side of the door!SalenYou must be crazy, coming all the way down here with the Imps everywhere.MeteorCommander Narlock said that you might know of a way to unlock the bridge. The Imperials have it sealed off.SalenThe Imps pulled the lockdown? You've got to be kidding me.Vyn AsaraYou really cleared this place out. I didn't run into a single Imperial on my way down here. Listen- there's no time to waste. Commander Narlock and his men are being overrun - we have to get the bridge unlocked now.SalenSo I've heard. I'd invite you in, but the lockdown has our doors sealed, too.Hero of TythonAre you going to be safe in there? Do you need help getting out?SalenGetting the bridge back in our control is much more important. Now let's see...VeppWhat about a reactor reset? That would disengage the security locks, wouldn't it, sir?SalenYeah, but a reactor reset vents the engineering compartment - we'd be blown into space. Besides, controls are on the other side of the door.VoidhoundWhat else could we do to open up the bridge?SalenThe secondary conduits. They're spread around a bit, but if you shut them all down, the security will go down, too. Then we'll be in business.MeteorWe'll get the conduits shut down right away.Vyn AsaraThere's no time to go running all over the ship. If we don't act now, the Imperials will overwhelm us. I'm sorry, Salen. We need to unlock the bridge while we have the chance. We have to reset the reactor. You and your men will be remembered.Barsen'thorWe can't send these people to their deaths! Not when there's an alternative!Vyn AsaraFine. But you're dooming everyone on this ship. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.Hero of TythonWe're trying to save the people on this ship, not kill them.Vyn AsaraFine. Who am I to argue?SalenCrazy witch! Shutting down the secondary conduits will work, I promise.Vyn AsaraIf you're going to do it, go now. The longer you wait, the more Imperials you'll have after you. |
Dialog transcript |
Vyn AsaraI don't know how you managed it, but you did. The security doors around the bridge have opened.MeteorThe bridge is open, and no innocent lives had to be sacrificed to do it.Vyn AsaraYou were right- I'm sorry. Please understand, I didn't want to kill anyone, I just... it seemed like the only way to be sure.I'll go and help Narlock with another diversion. So you have as little resistance as possible when you attack the bridge.You'll still have to deal with Ironfist, though. And that's no small challenge.VoidhoundWhat do you know about Ironfist?Vyn AsaraI only know Ironfist by reputation, but he's been doing Grand Moff Kilran's dirty work for a long time now.He's never been captured, defeated or even driven back. You have your work cut out for you.MeteorThey didn't just train me to do the easy jobs, ma'am.VoidhoundSo if Ironfist goes down, I become famous. Works for me.Vyn AsaraI'm not sure if fame should be the first thing on your mind at a time like this.Just be careful. Mandalorians always have a few tricks up their sleeves.All right, no more time to waste. Narlock, are you there? Can you hear me?Dol NarlockCopy, this is Narlock! Set for second offensive?Vyn AsaraThat's right, Commander. I'm on my way to join you now. |
Dialog transcript |
IronfistWell, well. I was wondering when you'd finally show up. This is it? There aren't more of you?Hero of TythonJust give up, Ironfist. We don't want to have to hurt you or your men.IronfistStrange view of the situation. Guess you'd have to be a little crazy to put up the fight you have. Just give me a decent fight for once, will you?Let's vape this worthless scum and get back to work. |
Dialog transcript |
Vyn AsaraFirst Officer Haken, do you have any spare shuttles in the hangar bay?HakenSpare shuttles? Yes, we do, but I don't-Vyn AsaraThen that's our only chance. You have to board Grand Moff Kilran's ship and disable the tractor beam so that we can all escape.MeteorWhy not? We've been fighting insane odds all along. No sense stopping now.VoidhoundI'm in. A bit of fancy flying followed by some daring heroics? You've come to the right person.Vyn AsaraI knew we could count on you.I've been aboard warships like Kilran's. The tractor beam controls should be easy to find, if you know where you're going.HakenAmbassador, you're familiar with the layout, perhaps you should go along to help get the tractor beam shut down.Vyn AsaraHmm. We need every advantage we can get.MeteorSounds like a plan. It will be good to have you along, Ambassador.Vyn AsaraI'll do my best to help in any way I can.Dol NarlockAmbassador, before you go - take a spare uniform. We wouldn't want any Imperials to recognize you.Vyn AsaraGood thinking, Commander - thank you. Now let's get moving.HakenGood luck out there. We're all counting on you. |
Dialog transcript |
Salen called First Officer Haken and told him of what happened on the engineering deck, and how Ambassador Asara wanted to kill all the engineers in order to open the bridge. |
Dialog transcript |
HakenHey! Hold up a minute. I need to talk to you before you go.I just talked to Salen from engineering. He told me what Asara tried to make you do down there. Thank you for stopping her.MeteorShe was just doing what she thought she had to do to save the ship.HakenAnd she would've killed a lot of good people if you hadn't stopped her. Thank you.Listen, I've been thinking. I really believe this plan is going to work. But there's only one way to guarantee that we all make it home safe. And that's to make sure the Imperials have no reason to keep chasing us.MeteorWhat are you suggesting, Haken?VoidhoundYou want us to hand the ambassador over to the Imperials, don't you?HakenYes. For the sake of us all, I want you to leave Asara behind on the Grand Moff's ship. With the tractor beam down, we'll be able to escape. But Kilran will just chase us down again - unless he's already captured his target.Asara is the reason for all of this. If you're serious about doing whatever it takes to save this ship, then you'll make sure she doesn't come back with you.Hero of TythonWe didn't sacrifice the engineers to get us out of this. We won't sacrifice Asara, either. Don't let your anger at the ambassador cloud your judgment.HakenMy judgement isn't clouded. This is what has to be done, I'm sure of it.MeteorAmbassador Asara is a Republic official. It's our duty to protect her.HakenIt's going to be dangerous over there. If Asara didn't make it, nobody would even think twice about it.VoidhoundIs this really what's best for the ship? Or are you just looking for a bit of payback?HakenMaybe. Doesn't change the fact that leaving her behind will save the rest of us. Just think about it. I'd even make it worth your while if things go the way I'm suggesting. |
Dialog transcript |
HakenEveryone's aboard, Plex! Get us out of here, now! We're safe! You did it - you did what no one else could have done. You've saved us all. We owe you our lives... every one of us. So, on behalf of the passengers and crew of the Republic transport Esseles, thank you.MeteorYou're welcome. It's been an honor to help and protect you all.HakenIf you hadn't been here, we'd all have been doomed. We can't thank you enough. I took up a collection from everyone on the ship - hopefully, these credits will help you save other people in need, the same way you've saved us.Hero of TythonPlease - keep your credits. I'm sure you all need them more than we.HakenThat's extremely gracious of you. Thank you very much.Ambassador Asara, it's... it's a relief to see that you made it back to us safely as well.Vyn AsaraReally? I imagine it comes as a bit of a surprise to see me here at all, Haken.HakenI- I don't know what you mean. Of course I'm glad to see you. Why would you think differently?VoidhoundYou offered us a reward to leave her on the Grand Moff's ship, Haken.HakenYou must have misunderstood me. I would never... I wouldn't do something like that.Vyn AsaraThank you for telling me the truth and for everything else you've done here. The Republic needs heroes like you now more than ever.I should warn you, though. Grand Moff Kilran is never going to forget what we've done. He'll stop at nothing to get his revenge.Barsen'thorThanks for the warning. Sounds like we'd better keep our guard up from now on.Vyn AsaraThat would be wise. There's nothing Kilran isn't capable of.Anyway, enough of that. I'd say it's about time we all relaxed a bit and enjoyed the rest of our trip. Thanks again - and good luck in the future. |
The Esseles incident was joined operation under the command of Grand Moff Rycus Kilran
