If we hit the Palace hard and fast, it is possible then that we can get everything before Rogan has time to react.
We need to find a way to get into the throne room directly so that we don't fight our way in before getting our lightsabers. I believe you mentioned that the throne room had a glass dome, Ush? Maybe we could drop in from above, grab our lightsabers and start fighting.
I am loathe to fulfill Gallador's MD... but publicly killing Rivas sounds fun.
Rah is of the opinion that perhaps some good old darkside subterfuge is required!
1- Get the information we need to gain entry to Rivas and our weapons.
2-Some of us, using persuade and maybe intimidate start spreading discention amongst the populous to start a distraction in the form of a massive coordinated riot across a huge area.
3- Get some weapons. Explosives and heavy blasters would go a long way before we get our sabres back.
4- Get Rivas, if he dies in the capture - oh well we can display his head. If not we can publically execute him, with all of us getting a turn to cut a piece off (maybe draw straws to decide who gets his head).

Well, not sure if we are capable of starting a riot, though I would love it, maybe blowing a power plant could work as distraction.
Also, Edana saw where is the Throne Room and where they keep our lightsabres.
What are the chances that they know that we broke out? I mean, a few people fought their way to Red, but they may not necessarily know that we were them (or that it happened at all), and I doubt they really keep track of prisoners much once they're dropped onto Datura.
We shouldn't really rely on that, but we do have a possible element of surprise here to potentially take advantage of.
"Edna, you must understand, we are, sadly, a bunch of hunted renegades without that much to offer to the Galaxy, despite all of our skills, drive and ambition.... but there is one thing that we still have - our reputation. In the past, those that crossed us died, including a Bureau Agent and leadership of the Golden Serpent, one of the two biggest crimes syndicates in the Galaxy. How will anyone take us seriously if we let a pirate so-called "Emperor" humiliate us? Besides, we are greatly limited without our lightsabres, without these weapons of death we are unlikely to survive." - Gallador stands and looks intently at Edna, then gives a slight smile.
"You are now one of us Edna, you have nothing else to go besides perhaps Lady Adelmo, and unless that is your choice, we need your help. We are searching for the ancient "unstoppable weapon" of the Sith, known as Syphar N' Kalar, which for thousands of years was just a rumor... but Adelmo and possibly Kuylen, look for this as well, therefore this may our chance to achieve greatness we were denied when Bureau banished us from the Republic. I have glimsped such opportunities in my visions of the future as well, but now we need to take care of Rivas. Will you help us Edna?"
Galder will also stress Kuylen's old adage to Edna- that we have strength in numbers and that by gathering together we have better chances of survival.
She can also stop running- Epireus is a place to stay and hold.
But just like Kuylen would do... she will have to prove her place in the group by helping us fight Rivas and get our lightsabers back.
I just need to check a few things about the data crystal before I reveal all that.

Meanwhile, then, you return to Epireus- Edna, this is a high gravity high-pressure world and would be very harsh to live on if their base wasn't built into a very high mountain, where the atmosphere is ore standard. It's a tad run down but pretty impressive considering, and you are certain that no ways did these guys build or buy this place.
Time to finish planning your revenge! Some helpful things:
- Yes, you can use Allies
- You didn't take your ships the first time
- And as you are quite keen... you can all restore half of your Force pools!
In addition to resting for several days, Galder is going to spend much time with Edana and helping her get settled into the Epireus base.
Galder is also going to get to work reinstalling the blaster and the knife in his cybernetic arm, anticipating that they will be doing a great deal of work when they start their attack on Emperor Rivas.
He is also going to bring an electro-mace (running off the vibro-axe rules), if he is allowed to bring another melee weapon.
He will give Rura Ta a call and let him know they need some help getting revenge.
"Bring your best stuff," Galder tells him. "We're going to absolutely wreck this man's palace and turn him inside out. This will top anything we did to Doon."
Rand is happy to have some time to meditate and regain his strength.
Would it be a good idea to bring Epireans with us in our fight against the Emperor and his men? Not our new minions that we gained during the interlude of course but some barbaric grunts.
Rand will be calling up the Mecrossans to see if they could loan him any of those assassin probes they sent when they took over Epireus. More than one would be preferred.
If anyone else has useful allies or contacts, make use of them.
