Dialog transcript Aric JorganI reviewed your service record before that ZR-57 op. Been meaning to discuss it with you.Says you've been fighting the Empire since you were old enough to hold a blaster. Ran quite the underground resistance.You made quite an impression at the Academy: accelerated training programs, instructor recommendations. Graduated top of your class. Heck of a transcript, but a classroom's no substitute for field experience.Then you served in the Outer Rim. Knew a lot of good men who fought out there. Heard it was brutal. Warfare like that can change a person, make them reckless. Unstable.So you can kill Imperials; but a guerilla mentality won't cut it in the big time.MeteorYou saw how I handled things on Ord Mantell. I know what I'm doing.Aric JorganTaking on that sep army single-handedly showed guts, not leadership.When I signed on with the Deadeyes, my CO was Lieutenant Vorne - certified war hero, as decorated as they come. When he gave an order, we trusted it, followed it to the letter. A squad needs that kind of commitment to operate effectively.MeteorYou're saying you don't trust me?Aric JorganI'm saying trust requires more than a slick new promotion.Havoc Squad is the Republic's most elite outfit. We tackle the missions no one else can handle. Traitor or no, Tavus is a tough act to follow. You think you're up to it?MeteorI wouldn't be leading Havoc Squad if I didn't.Aric JorganHmm. Good answer. I'll admit, you've seen and done more than most soldiers your age. You've got confidence, and plenty of raw talent. Maybe you'll pull this off.(from Past and Present) - Meteor, Aric Jorgan

Dialog transcript Aric JorganYou think Havoc will start shaping into an actual squad soon?MeteorYou're saying it isn't now?Aric JorganTwo people isn't a squad, sir. It's just... two people.Once this unit starts growing, people's expectations of us - of you - are only gonna get bigger. That CO post could get real heavy, real quick.MeteorSomeone needs to run Havoc Squad.Aric JorganCommanding a squad is no cakewalk. Nothing worse than having to choose between the success of the mission and the lives of your men. That said, a leader can't be soft on his troops. Coddling your men will only get them killed.MeteorYou've got a point. I'll keep it in mind.Aric JorganI'm sure you'll do fine. You've gotten us this far.(from Looking Ahead) - Aric Jorgan, Meteor
- Havoc Squad's BT-7 arrived on Port Raga
- Havoc Squad was among its crew
- C2-N2 (Havoc Squad) served as Steward and Maintenance

Dialog transcript Ava JaxoGood to see you again, Lieutenant. I was hoping Garza would send you to handle this one.Hope you're ready to crack some skulls, because you've really got your work cut out for you on this one.MeteorGive me a sitrep, Sergeant.Let's start with the accommodations. Port Raga is privately owned and officially neutral, but Wraith and her pals have taken over behind the scenes. My boys and I managed to tweak the sensors and keep your landing inconspicuous. But as soon as you step out of this hangar, it's party time.MeteorHow many are we up against?Ava JaxoWe couldn't get a solid count without giving ourselves away. Somewhere between "a lot" and "a whole lot" - all Imperial.MeteorDo you know where Krasul is being held?Ava JaxoWe do, but there's some bad news on that front. Wraith has Krasul locked up in a hangar at the other end of the station. There's heavy security plus a big bonus: explosives. Not enough "bang" to trash the station, of course, but plenty to ruin your day if you're in that hangar when they blow. Play it careful in there.MeteorAre you bringing your team in with us, Sergeant?Ava JaxoI'd love to, but Garza's orders were pretty clear: Havoc goes in alone. We'll get your back if things go bad, though.MeteorHavoc Squad, move out!Aric JorganIt's about time.Ava JaxoSee you on the other side, Lieutenant. Good luck. - Ava Jaxo, Meteor, Aric Jorgan, SpecForce Trooper 1, SpecForce Trooper 2
- Havoc Squad killed a number of Treacherous Republic Soldiers and Recruits
- Havoc Squad killed a number of Imperial Soldiers
- Havoc Squad killed a number of Imperial Commando
- Havoc Squad destroyed a number of Reengineered Battle Droids
- Havoc Squad destroyed a number of Reprogrammed Combat Droids

Dialog transcript Zorin KrasulWho the- oh. You. I should've known Garza would try to keep all of this inside her twisted little family. Well, don't just stand there. You know how to defuse bombs, don't you? Wraith said they'll explode if I leave the room. She has a remote detonator, too, so be quick.MeteorThis is how you treat your rescuer?Zorin KrasulRescuer. Ha. You aren't here out of the goodness of your heart, you're here because Garza sent you here. Through gritted teeth, I imagine. That traitor was going to force me to go on record saying the Senate officially abandoned Havoc Squad on Ando Prime! They invaded Ando Prime and incited a massive, armed response from the Empire. Do you realize what will happen if this situation goes public? The Senate would be a firestorm - all of our judgments publicly called into question. And General Garza and SpecForce Division would be the first to burn.MeteorThis is the Senate's fault, not SpecForce's!Zorin KrasulThe Senate has done its duty. Garza's recklessness would reignite a war that the Republic cannot win.I'll admit, I'd like to see the look on that traitor's face when all of her bombs suddenly shut down. To watch that coward scurry away into the shadows when she realizes that her plans have failed would be priceless!MeteorBe quiet and let me work. Sir.Zorin KrasulJust be careful, or we're both dead! - Zorin Krasul, Meteor, Aric Jorgan
- Havoc Squad rescued Zorin Krasul
- Characters interacted with each other (dialog)
Dialog transcript Zorin KrasulIs it safe, now? Are all of the bombs shut down?MeteorI don't know about "safe," but the bombs are disabled.Zorin KrasulYou know that's what I meant. I'm not a fool.Get on with it, Lieutenant. We've still got to get out of this disgusting place. Go on, lead the way. - Meteor, Aric Jorgan, Zorin Krasul
- Zora departed from Port Raga
- Characters interacted with each other (dialog)
Dialog transcript Ava JaxoWell, look what we've got here, boys. Welcome to safety, Senator.Zorin KrasulWho in blazes are you? Mercenaries? This is ridiculous!Ava JaxoOh, yeah. General Garza hires mercs to rescue Republic Senators all the time.MeteorThese people are SpecForce troops in disguise, sir.Zorin KrasulNow I almost wish they were mercenaries.Ava JaxoSo, you rescued our charming friend here, obviously. Nice work. Any luck taking down Wraith?MeteorRescuing the Senator tipped her off - she ran for it.Ava JaxoWe had scopes on that warehouse from every direction- nobody saw Wraith slip out. She must be even better than they say. Wraith must be even better than they say. We were watching every inch of this place - nobody saw her leave.Zorin KrasulIs someone going to get me on a ship to Coruscant anytime soon?Ava JaxoOh, don't worry, Your Honorable Eminent Senatorness. You're catching a ride with us.MeteorThanks for taking care of everything, Sergeant.Ava JaxoNo problem at all.Besides, we're going to have a fun time together, aren't we, Senator?Zorin KrasulYes. Delightful.Ava JaxoHey- I know you need to contact Garza and report in, but you should come back by my place on Coruscant sometime soon. We'll have a little victory celebration. What do you say?MeteorA celebration might not be in the cards right now.Ava JaxoIf anybody can make it happen, it's you.Garza will want to hear from you ASAP, and we've got a ship to catch. Take care of yourself, okay?MeteorYou too, Jaxo. - Meteor, Aric Jorgan, Ava Jaxo, SpecForce Trooper 1, SpecForce Trooper 2, Zorin Krasul

Dialog transcript Elin GarzaAh, Lieutenant. I was just speaking with Sergeant Jaxo. Congratulations. Saving Senator Krasul will certainly help our affairs with the Senate. We needed someone to owe us a favor - well done.MeteorThank you, General.Elin GarzaYou've accomplished something very important - something beyond even your assignment to hunt down Tavus and the other traitors.You're in the field, Lieutenant... you see how far the Empire is reaching. A full attack isn't far off, now. To keep the Empire's forces at bay, we need the Senate's support. We need allies.MeteorI'm glad I could help out the cause.Elin GarzaYes, you've done quite well in that regard.One thing, Lieutenant, I was disappointed to learn of Wraith's escape. She's capable of causing great turmoil.MeteorCatching Wraith would have meant leaving Krasul to die.Elin GarzaThen you probably made the best choice. The Senator is certainly more useful alive than dead.Now - our technicians have decoded the first two sets of data from the Coruscant relay. Your first two targets are on Taris and Nar Shaddaa.MeteorCan you tell me anything beyond the destinations?Elin GarzaNot at this time, I'm afraid. I'll try to collect more intelligence and give you a fuller briefing when you arrive at each location.Good luck. Garza out. - Meteor, Elin Garza
Summary
| This event took place shortly before the end of the Cold War.Traveling to the space station Port Raga, Meteor and Aric Jorgan rendezvoused with the Republic team already there, led by Sergeant Ava Jaxo. Jaxo briefed the Lieutenant on the situation, disclosing that the arrival of Havoc Squad was inconspicuous because her team tweaked the sensors, the station was taken over by Imperial forces, and the Senator was being held in a hangar filled with explosives at the other end of the station. The squad moved out to find the senator and engaged ex-Republic forces and Imperial troopers that sought to stop them. After eliminating the opposing forces, the duo found Senator Krasul sitting on a bomb chair set with an inflated dead-man's switch. As Meteor approached the senator, he rudely ordered the lieutenant to free him.While examining the situation, the trooper asked the senator about the motivations of Wraith behind his kidnapping. The senator quickly revealed that renegade troop wanted him to publicly acknowledge the events on Ando Prime, which would have destabilized the Galactic Senate's inner workings. Asking further about the truth behind the ill-fated mission, the senator further revealed that the mission was conducted illegally, with the previous Havoc Squad invading the planet and engaging Imperial forces without the consent of the Senate.After concluding the conversation, the trooper discovered that the bomb had three triggers: a weight switch, a remote trigger and an additional gas switch. The lieutenant moved to seal the bulkhead doors then vented the atmosphere in the hangar, modifying the atmospheric pressure in the area and thus disabling the gas trigger. After the procedure, the trooper raced to the senator's chair and defused the last two triggers with ease. With the senator freed, Havoc Squad escorted the senator to the hangar where Sergeant Jaxo and her team were waiting.Before leaving, Jaxo had a short conversation with the commanding officer about how Wraith managed to slip past them even when they had eyes on the whole station, giving credence to the ex-Havoc member's skill in infiltration. Given the recent successes of the trooper, Jaxo invited the trooper to her place on Coruscant to celebrate. Upon reaching Havoc's starship, the trooper immediately reported to General Garza. Content with the trooper's report, Garza told the lieutenant that technicians collected new possible locations from the relay recovered during Havoc's previous mission on Coruscant. From the records, Garza surmised that the renegade troopers were operating on Taris and Nar Shaddaa. | ||
