A Horn In a Haystack: Epilogue

Sit-rep

Karran Val'teo, former Captain of the Voidbreaker, had broken off from his responsibilities, leaving behind friends and partners alike. After discovering a sighting to the wayward Zabrak on Tatooine, Captain Zig Kaliska was given operational clearance to deploy Voidbreaker and it's allies within the Arcona ranks. Karran had apparently gotten captured by a criminal organization known as the Crimson Sarlaacs. A strike team was assembled and landed on Tatooine in a remote outpost of Mos Kenny.

After searching the town for clues and gathering intel, the strike team set out on speeder bike to cross the desert. There, they were ambushed by a band of raiders that they fended off. After that detour, the team arrived at another remote outpost that was being used by the Crimson Sarlaacs. Here, the Arconans battled their way to initial victory, only to discover that their advesary was just a hired Mandalorian that was trying to work off a debt to get freedom for her child. That child, named Jet, was left orphaned and ultimately in the care of Quaestor Tali Sroka.

Pushing down into the heart of the Crimson Sarlacc's underground base in the sewers, the Voidbreakers and their teammates recovered Karran Val'teo and worked with him to defeat the Crimson Sarlacc leader and to put an end to their criminal operation.
