USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (DARK SIDE)- Destiny

"Ok," he says, "You want to go into the desert to find this guy you are looking for? Like I say, it's pretty lethal in there. It's vast; thousandss of square miles in all. Everything looks the same from ground level- you are surrounded by a maze of rocks you cannot navigate and that sensors don't work with. And behind every corner is a psychotic robot told to destroy all intruders. Tell me... have you ever fought Trade Federation Battle Droids?"

"Not really. But we fought droids before, they have certain weaknesses and strenghts, like all do."

Daks snorts dismissively. "Those battle droids are pathetic. They won't be any great danger."

Dak had battled many things during his travels; the sort of droids employed by the Trade Federation just one. He had not been impressed.

(I gotta wait for Galder's reaction to that question, and you all know it...)

(Oh of course. That was obvious since the trailer post way back when.)

Rianna snorts and rolls her eyes.

"Battle droids are not enough to worry me..."

"Enough battle droids are enough to worry me" Con thinks to himself, but doesn't say as he prefers not to discuss the pros and cons of being dead with Rianna right now.

Galder scoffs, recalling his days under Kuylen, his mission to kill Faylar, the battle droids that Faylar unleashed to keep control of Damagran and oppose his assassins unsuccessfully...

"Damn battle droids," Galder says. "I hacked my way through an army of them while fighting a Jedi Knight and a bounty hunter! I will shred any droid that dares walk into my line of sight..."

Galder pauses, remembering another event where said battle droids were deactivated, clattering to the ground around him when Chion destroyed the main controls.

"You know, aren't those things slaved to some control switch? Shouldn't they have shut off when the Federation left?"

"Yeah well, forget all that," he says, "because these things are absolutely nothing like Trade Federation Battle Droids."

"Yeah well, forget all that," he says, "because these things are absolutely nothing like Trade Federation Battle Droids."

"What do you mean?" Galder asks, confused.

"Well, let's just say one in five visitors to this world get shot down on approach because their ships wander too close to the desert. This is a specialised army, not one of their mass production jobs. It cost a fortune and it has independant capacity. No shutdown switch."

"And you can help us against them?"

"Why would our thief be out there, then?" Galder asks.

Azarl quietly listens.

"Do you know the size of this army?"

"I can't even slightly help you against them," says Zorin. "If I could do anything about them I'd be the richest man you'd ever met. The size? Large enough to cover every single square mile. Why is your thief there? Same reason I have over a hundred unclaimed bounties in the same area. Like I said before, people hear rumours. No-one will go in there after them."

"It seems you would have much to gain if we somehow managed to end the trouble that these battle droids bring you," Rand says. "Are you sure you are unaware of this thief passing through your town?"

"No-one came through here that anyone knew as a thief. And no-one culd reclaim that place without an army of their own, but surviving in there... it's not been done yet. But you with your fancy weapons and your fancier powers... no-one like you has tried yet. Maybe you'll do better. In which case, there's a few things we could get sorted for mutual advantage."

"Ah, here we go. What is it?"

He pulls out a leaflet from one side.

"I'm not getting any of these cleared up, and I have to justify my position sometimes.

"Danza. Wanted for murder, arson, property damage, galactic hijack, and seventeen counts of dangerous animal rustling... which is what got the bounty on his head oddly enough... fled to here. Bring him in and your cut of the bounty is a hundred thousand. Ten thousand credits each ain't bad."
