White Star Syndicate

Drayson Moon, working for New Republic Intellegence, flew his Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-2400 Freighter through the atmosphere of Tatooine. He set his navigation systems for the planet of Kessel. He waited for the nav systems to comply, and he made the jump into hyperspace. Drayson was going to Kessel on a New Republic Intellegence mission. He had to gather information on the infamous White Star Syndicate. Drayson knows they operate out of Kessel, and he thinks that he can get to the leader and take him out. If he is successful, Drayson will retire from the New Republic and live the rest of his life in peace and comfort.

Five hours into the flight, Drayson was asleep in the pilot's chair. He had his arms crossed, and he was in deep sleep. Drayson knew he had a few hours until his ship came out of hyperspace in the Kessel System. When it did, he would wake up and take-over the ship. Drayson was going to try to land his ship at the Kessel Prime Spaceport if it wasn't too busy. He knew that he might have to seek an alternate space-port because of how many ships landed at Kessel Prime everyday.

When Drayson's ship came out of hyperspace, he slowed engine thrust to fifty percent as he headed towards the Kessel System. He could see the thick blue atmosphere. Once inside of the atmosphere, Drayson would be getting a message over the comlink from Kessel Prime Control. They would ask him where he was planning on landing.

As Drayson neared the planet, he slowed his thrust down to thirty percent. Finally, when he was inside of the planet's atmosphere, he engaged his repulsorlifts.

"This is Kessel Prime Control. You are an unidentified ship, what is your destination?"Drayson heard over the comm.

"This is freighter Lancer. My destination is Kessel Prime Spaceport. I am requesting to land,"Drayson said into the comm while setting landing preferences.

"This is control. You are cleared to land on pad thirteen. Have a nice stay,"the voice said as it faded off. Good, Drayson thought to himself as he set his ship softly down on pad thirteen.

When Drayson got out of his ship, he walked through the spaceport and onto one of the long streets on the planet of Kessel. He looked around. Drayson was going to need to find the White Star Syndicate's headquarters. Drayson had one idea of where it would be. He thought it could be near the Alpha Cliffs. Drayson new this area was a remote place and very hard to get to. It would be the perfect place for a permanent base in which to operate out of.

Drayson rented a landspeeder and headed towards the Alpha Cliffs. From five miles away, Drayson could see the large cliffs. He also noticed that there was a very large structure that was on the exact top of one of the cliffs. Drayson knew the strcuture was the base, and he headed towards the cliffs. He would need to find a way up the cliffs when he got there. That would be the hard part...

Drayson lowered to speed to a stop. He hopped out and walked to the cliffs. He looked up, and then down again. They were big cliffs.

"Well, might as well start climbin'" he said to himself. He placed his hand on a rock protruding from the cliff face. As he pulled himself up the rock broke off.

"Aargh! powderstone!" This simply wouldn't do, powderstone was a material sold for ladies perfume. Very expensive, however. Often only used by princesses and queens. He put the once protruding rock into his Krayt Dragon leather bag.

"Pehaps I can sell this for some credits back at the spaceport." he still had no way to climb the cliff. He let gravity pull him down to the ground. Sitting there pondering he felt a pain in his side. Something from his belt was poking against him.

"AHA! That's it!" he reached into his pocket and pulled out two metal cylinders. A lightknife was a shortened version of a lightsaber. He had got them cheap at some junk dealer back on Tatooine. He energized the objects and thrust them into the powderstone, pulling himself up and then thrusting again. As he neared the top he heard some of the White Star Syndicate's troops training; feet stopping, bullets flying, and people shouting. The sound of troops readying for battle.

"hmm, I wonder what that's all about" Drayson said. A couple feet up he could see a ledge. He pulled himself up onto it and discovered it went far back into the cliff. Probably an old powdermine. He lit a glowstick and went back to see if it would make a nice makeshift encampment. Powdermine's were known for collapsing. Untill he took over the base he would need a makeshift camp. He could hear voices coming from the end. White Star troops? more than likely. He pulled out one of his lightknifes. He could see a dim light coming from above. as he neared it he saw he was on a ledge looking over a huge cave full of buildings, people in all kinds of rags, houses, practically a whole community. Just then he was attacked from both sides and knocked cold. When he awoke he was in a cell. When his vision cleared up he saw it was kind of flimsy. He was in a big hall and before him was a, no, yes, an assassin droid sitting on a throne.

"Welcome visitor," it said in a mechanical voice. "I, am T9.56 but you many call me Tee. What brings you here?"

"I come to destroy White Star"

"Hahahaha" Tee's laugh was tinny and fake. "You? Alone?" you must be the new jester! Hahahaha"

"I am no jester and yes I alone was hired by a well paying customer to kill White Star. Laugh if you like but it won't stop me."

"Do you see these people?" Tee asked.

"Yes" Drayson replied. "They are all slaves captured by white star and rescued by me through a secret entrance and I am their leader. We've been tryingto stop him for years with no positive results. I as leader insist that you join our cause."

"And if I don't?"

"You will receive no help from us in return and White Star wil surely kill you"

" Very well, I accept."
