The difficulty was easy.
The wing of fighters arc to the station. You can see the look of terror on the bridge officers as the Imperials race for the emergency repair packs. The cannon fire blows the view ports open and the officers scatter into the void of space. The blast shields close too late to save them. The X-wings cross past the station as the shield engage.

The next few minutes are tense ones you detect no power-up of weapons and no communications then finally a comm comes with the transponder address of a Minstrel Class Space Yacht that is docked within the largest bay on the station. The voice on the comm is a protocol droid. "New Republic Vessels the Honorable Guild Master Veild Danol CEO of the Danol Trade Syndicate would request an audience with you. The bay is open for landing at your earliest convenience."

Keeg gives a brief synopsis of the Two transports, the 2 surviving imps, the fact the transport guild can be used to aid in negotiations. Also escorting the Muvon and Aegis into the atmosphere.
"All things quite here, and I am bored. Also my kill count is severely small"

"Well, Rana, it looks like we now have a welcome committee. We should take the two most damaged ships down and see if we can negotiate any repairs why the other two continue to patrol out here. "
"Good idea, Ciro! Meanwhile, let's keeps trying to get ahold of Keeg to get the sit back at Kolatil" he hears her reply.

Ciro- Pash with 4 hull damage and no hyperdrive would be the most damaged. He follows you in as you fly into the main hanger. The hanger is the entire level of the station. 1km in diameter with a height of 50m you see the mining vessels, ore transport vessels, and one shining silver 165m Space Yacht. You circle the area and then land nearby. As you climb from you X-Wings a group of huge well armed aliens surround a repulsorlift power sedan chair. As you approach meeting the litter halfway you note the ripple of a force shield. Pash takes a step back placing you in the position of authority.  The alien on the litter is a race you have not encountered before and looks like an ancient member of that race. His oranage brown skin is wrinkled and much of his white hair is missing. His clothing is of exceptional quality and he wears a number of jewels and baubles of gold. His clothing is also accented with a sash of gold and matching heraldry. He speaks with a deep rumbling voice much stronger than his appearance. "Sir Garreth Un'Shador of the House Shador is too busy to thank you himself, so I will declare his thanks. I am Veild Danol Guild Master and CEO of the Danol Trade Syndicate. I represent a group with an interest in seeing the Empire removed. We provided the weapons to these former mining slaves to allow them to retake this station. I feel they will need more assistance than I will be able to directly provide for their next plans. They plan to free their leaders and true bloods from the smelting pits on Kolat II. Part of this plant is to use the normal transport of ore to the planet to carry an attack force. I don't believe their force will be enough without space superiority. They where planning on using the shuttle on this station to provide that firepower. Now those shuttles are not able to be part of the plan. You can not keep Kolatill without the influence House Shador would bring. When will your New Republic Fleet arrive and what can they add to this mission?" |

"I am Lt Commander Noel Ciro of the New Republic, and this is Pash" Ciro says in his most charming voice. He has found that many persons, whether human or non-human have a certain awe of fighter pilots. Hopefully, Danol, and the rest of the miners, will also be impressed. "Our command ship, the Farstar, will arrive at Kollatil in about 30 hours, and will probably be heavily involved in securing the planet and making sure the Imps don't return with their Assault Carrier. We can convene with the Captain at that time to see what resources we can add. Meanwhile, we have some fighters here that were damaged in fighting off the Imp here. There in no condition to go into another battle. Perhaps we can get assistance with some repairs so that they are ready to assist."
He feels a connection to Danol, a bond of friendship forming that he feels confident will help in any negotiations in the future.
Mechanics: Charm (as Ciro is trying to make the best first impression) 1P3A = 3 Success 5 Advantage (Not sure if enough for success, but will use advantage to boost any negotiation checks)

Danol smiles,"The fighters will have our best teams and my personal mechanics on them. The problem with 30 hours is the Ore is scheduled to arrive in 15 hours. If it is late the Wardens will be suspicious and attempt to contact the Wardens here. The jump and travel to the planet is 12 hours. That gives us three hours to get whatever team we can cobble together. The jump point is beyond scanner range of Kotal II (the solar gravity well means it can not be closer). We could meet a team at the point and place a number of craft within the hold of the ore transport. (It is a capital sized barge of a vessel. X-Wings could easily clamp to it's side and be unnoticed) If the New Republic would be able to provide even a few squads or X-Wings it could make the difference between success and failure. We do not surprise though or they could execute the leaders of Shador."
As he speaks a huge bear of a man strides up he picks pounds you playfully (but painfully) in the shoulder,"You killed many an Imperial today my friend. I wish I could have seen the Warden's eyeball bulge as he went out the viewport." You have figured out this massive human is Sir Garreth Un'Shador,"So do you come with us to kill more of these bucketheads?"

OOC: The pilots all gain 5xp for completion of the mission. Keeg gains an extra 5xp for having impressed the wing commanders and being put into a position of authority.

"Keeg to flight, looks like we are stuck doing patrols, while Commander Ciro and his team get to stretch their legs at a station"
A few moments latter a humming series of bleats come over the flight comm frequancy.
"Um Dasha? I think Hummer wants me back in the cockpit... want to switch?"

"Sure let's take a patrol to the planet, check on our people, and switch out. Last one there is a scruffy nerf herder," She blasts away toward the planet. (1 Triumph 2 Success on her piloting roll to beat you down to the planet)

Garreth turns to Danol and approaches,"You my friend will be remember by House Shador for all time. We will make sure that Twa'Legra is returned to the place they deserve and House Karadol will be returned to the gutter they deserve."
"Thank you Sir Garrath, Once you have freed your liege and lords we will see a return of the true nobles of Kathol. I just thank the prophet that I was allowed a small part in this." Danol bows his head.
"We have the three ore transports ready and a 25 man assault team on each. It will be 4 to 1 at the smelting stations, but they are 4 imperials and we are one MAN OF SHADOR!" The men that approach behind Garreth roar approval. Pash does not think this is an appropriate time to explain that the 4 imperials have kept the 1 Shador slave for 20 years.
"Once we have control of the stations we free our lords and return to Kolatill to make Karadol pay." The roars continue.
"Sir, I have no doubt of the abilities of the legendary men of Shador. We could though allow the New Republic to share a small part of your glory showing the Empire that Shador and the Republic stand together." Danol adds looking to the pilots.

assuming simple difficulty = 3 success that includes a Triuph, and an advantage.
Keeg does some simple calculations that he has done many times for a maximum velocity decent into atmosphere, even with Dasha's head start he is able to use angular momentum and maximizing drag to quicken his decent while maintaining speed. WHile hearing many protests from his astro mech droid that he ignores

Ciro- A Shador former slave enters the hanger and brings a holo-transceiver to Garreth. "Sir, A hyperspace communication link from Kolatill. It is your brother."
"Excellent!" Garreth flicks on the holo.
You receive an image of what looks like an younger Garreth.
"Tren you young pup we have Rockport." Garreth declares then waits for the lag in response. A few minute later you hear.
"I knew you would find a way Garreth even if it took a decade." Tren responds.
Another noble steps into the holograph from his size and bearing he is not Shador. "This is Counciller Krause of House Ik'Tal it is good to hear you have taken the station, but did you give any thought of what will happen to the citizens enslaved at the Kotal II." Krause does not seem as happy as Tren.
"We are prepping 3 ore transports that have a scheduled run to the smelting stations. Each will have a team of HOUSE SHADOR WARRIORS!" The warriors in the hanger chant and grunt. "We may also have a few New Republic friends along for some air support." He pulls Pash under his arm into the picture and ruffles his hair.
The lag leaves Garreth pacing as Danol leans back patiently.
"Will that be enough?" is the simple question Krause asks that leaves Garreth with a furrowed brow.
