![]() ![]() Barris immediately conferred with Parck, wondering at their opponent's tactics, until Parck suggested checking if the built-in comlinks were still in both dead pilots' flight suits. Rushing there, Barris and his men found the pilot's body, but again lacking his survival gear, blaster and grenades. However, as soon as their search began, one of the TIE fighters crashed. Barris agreed and reported in to Parck, who immediately launched TIE fighters to scan the area. Wyan theorized that these explosions came from an overloaded power pack, and that the whole show with the flight suit was a feint from the smugglers. As both officers spurred into action, trying to determine who or what was attacking them, a second explosion destroyed the tent they just exited, still without any sign of attackers. Believing this to be the work of savage natives, Barris ordered his second-in-command, Major Wyan, to set up a secure perimeter and to call down reinforcements from the Strikefast, while he had the flight suit and its bizarre content returned to camp for further examination.Ī short time later, while Barris and Wyan perplexed over the content of the flight suit, a sudden explosion stirred up the encampment. More importantly, his survival pack, along with his blaster and grenades had been taken away as well. Once arrived, Barris saw that the pilot's body had disappeared, and that his flight suit had been stuffed with grasses and berries. Parck started to order him to settle down for the local night, but they were interrupted by Lieutenant Kraven, who demanded his colonel's presence at one of the downed TIEs' crash site. Meanwhile, on the Strikefast, a fuming Captain Voss Parck received the report about the "unknown energy signature." Hampered by the standing Navy "Unknown Alien Encounter" orders, he was forced to send down a detachment of soldiers and technicians under the command of Colonel Mosh Barris to check it out, instead of proceeding with an orbital bombardment to flush the smugglers out.Īfter a while, Barris reported in that the signature was from a small encampment, probably from a shipwreck, and definitely from unknown origin, as the team's 3-PO droid was unable to identify the markings on the more technologically advanced items. With his hyperdrive damaged from the last jump, Terrik made for the planet to hole up in a cave (shooting down two pursuing TIE fighters in the process), using an "unknown energy signature" to cover his landing position from the pursuing Star Destroyer. After a blind jump trying (and failing) to escape the pursuing Strikefast, Terrik discovered an inhabitable planet at the edge of Known Space. Imperial Star Destroyer Strikefast was chasing the smuggler Booster Terrik into the Unknown Regions. ![]() This story is about how the exiled Mitth'raw'nuruodo came into Imperial service. ![]()
