Editing Retrieval (section)

=== Episode 5 - Mandalorian Honeymoon ===
:''Prisoners!!!!!''
Searching for the legendary treasure of the Black Baron the heros venture deeper into the Unknown Regions. Their travel was interrupted by an emergency call but as they left hyperspace they were faced with a huge starship. Mandalorians.... [[File:Mandalorianer.jpg|thumbnail|right|[[Subjugator]]]]
Before they could even try to jump back into hyperspace, the Khan trembled under the strong tractorbeam that had already taken a hold and was pulling them in. The crew quickly hid any valuables and equipment before they were taken prisoner.  Brought to the imprisonment block of the huge starship, they were waiting for their cators to interrogate them. There were two other inmates waiting for their fate: A man with severe burn wounds and a unconcious woman...

After waking the unconcious woman, who called herself '''Jess''' (see &rarr; [[#The Protagonists|Protagonists]]), an earbattering explosion shook the giant starship. The prisoners were thrown to the ground as more explosions brutally tossed the ship around. Somewhere near they heared the awful sound of ripping durasteel and the rush of escaping atmoshere - the alarm bathed everything in dark red and the floor itself started to twist ... Not time to loose! The few guards that were left in the block were quickly overwhelmed, but not without difficulties. At least the troupe discovered and freed yet another prisoner. The older man called himself '''Warren Blissex''', the architekt of the ship. The group decided to help Blissex with his plan of causing the ship to self-destruct. He didn't want to build a warship and wanted his work destroyed rather than living with the knowledge what it would be used for.

They first had to get to the main power station to initiate the self-destruct sequesnce, make a slight detour to the officer's quarters to get Jess' equipment and the reach the hangar and free the Khan. It seemed they were lucky - no guards or technicians crossed their way - but then they could intercept an internal message at a terminal: The self destruct sequence had already begun. It had been set to three hours in order to lay out a trap for the attackers of the mighty, but heavily damaged Subjugator - a change of plans was necessary. Change the self destruct time to about one hour, place an internal evacuation message to save the many people that were still aboard and not informed of the plan, and inform the enemy ships of the trap (Ur-Yōma did not want to let so many lives go to waste for a tactical move in the cold war between Empire and Republic). The protagonists moved on, all according to plan, but as they reached a crossing in the big supply tunnel they were using, they heared the speakers come to life: '''Captain Kolaff''' mocked the heroes and told them he would provide them a lesson thereby proving that they were not good enough to earn their freedoom. His first ''task'' was to "neutralize a crossfire-position"

The characters escaped the trap (attackers from front, back and two blaster cannons on the side tunnels), and moved on. The overconfident captain's second challenge was what he called "rough-up". The attacking troups were successfully roughed up by the entourage and they made it to the power stationafter escaping some more calamities. Unfotunately the technicians at the station were thoroughly uncooperative and sounded the alarm, the self destruct sequence had been locked down and could not be changed (Blissex noted that the only person who could have done this was his own daughter...) and so Kolaff's third lesson was annonced as "how to die in battle". The resourceful group followed this like a badly worded command and jumped seemingly to their doom into the depths of the power shaft ... which they had manipulated to generate a repulsor field to catch them at the next lower level.

Hurrying to the officer's quarters and then to the hangar, the group encountered astampede of droids, some more troups, desperately defending their sections and even a unit of 0-G troopers, but they came out comparatively unscathed and only slightly wounded, until a zurbolaser dropped out of the ceiling. The group was only saved by a mighty effort of Codi whose sudden burst of telecinetic power reppid the gun from the wall altogether. But all was not iver yet. The hangar that they arrived in was one level above where their ship was, filled with smoke and hidden troups and Kolaff himself was approaching on an elevator platform in a combat walker. Fortunately Mara's computer skills to activate the enviornment control to get rid of the smoke, Jess' and Lee's skill at the blaster and Tie initiative of taking over one of the combat walkers in the hangar quickly disposed of the troops. And when Kolaff's walker triumphed over the unexperienced Tee, UrYōma called upon every reserve of will to lift the walker and drop it on it's side. Kolaff was killed by Jess even before anyone could react and all other troups fled so that the heroes could escape to their ship and were able to warn the crew of the Subjugator and the opponent ships alike of the impending explosion.
