Aboard the prison station Shen Kongbu in orbit around the planet Hera. Bakta Peters had been busy. He had recruited a few convicts, some useful, some he would leave behind when the time was right. There was the ex-military murderer Atticus Thornton, the mechanic- turned slasher- Iffy Claymore, The mute pilot- also serving time for murder- Camm Ellant. An older ethically-grey Doctor with more than enough blood on his Scalpel Dr. M Scruchenheimer. And last but not least a strange fellow living in the stations superstructure known as Brockie who had become trapped during his own escape attempt. Working to hatch his plan, the motley crew started a station wide riot using the fire suppression systems to unlock every station door. A gift from an enigmatic friend- one sophisticated holo-disk, allowed the riot to go unnoticed by the nearby alliance patrols; Bakta was not one to put faith in mysterious players- but the odd individual known as "Unity" had been true to his (her?) word. The scheme had gone off without a hitch. Stealing a shuttle, the band narrowly escaped the rapidly collapsing Hangar bay; It seems their shenanigans had caused more than a simple fire alarm. The supply team had come up against a Reaver, losing Atticus Thornton in the process; Bakta assumed he had been killed. Bakta was still flabbergasted that a Reaver had been on the station. He had no explanation for it; the only guess he could muster was that the Alliance had been keeping it there and it had been released in their gambit for freedom... for what purpose they had a Reaver in a prison, he shuddered to think, probably some form of torture for the real cases. The Shuttle was in heavy disrepair as Camm attempted to land near an old shipyard on Hera. One Hard Landing later, and the band of fugitives was finally breathing the free air of the planet. They had little time to relish the moment; Alliance patrols were closing in...
