Which one is The Center Map?

Chapter 3 Deep in the Jungle

The Dromund Kaas system, a planet covered in darkness. Jungle and death is what you can find on this planet. The beast are just as furious as the sith empire that calls this place home. The ship containing Code, Wand’er, Insignia and Wand’er’s Crew arrives undetected to a stronghold owned by Dr. Freeze, when they land the ship they are met by a bunch of large hulking creatures. Insignia says to everyone “Don’t worry these are just the massassi that Doc has that work with him. It makes it easier to go off on explorations with them since he doesn’t have to pay them. They are a sith subspecies that Naga Sadow created on Yavin 4 to guard his most precious and dark secrets about the dark side of the force.” The massassi come over and look at then the team and don’t say anything they just turn right around and resume what they were doing prior to them entering. The team goes into the garage where Doc has set up his base of operations and gets the location of him deep in the Dromund Kaas Jungle. The team looks closer and he is right near a mandalorian training camp. “We will just have to be on the lookout when we go there since I think we all have some kind of price on our heads and if these mandalorians spot us we may have an issue on our hand,” says Wand’er. The group get out some speeders from the garage and head out to Dr Freeze’s location to meet up with him. As they are going through the jungle they are trying to still avoid the main roads paved by the sith empire. This means that they have to go through the deep brush and vines of the Dromund Kaas Jungle. Then out of nowhere Code’s speeder gets shot at. He is hit in the arm and tells everyone that they need to stop and take cover. They all take cover in the shrub and vines near by. Wand’er takes out his binoculars and starts to scan the area. He sees someone that he really cannot make out what or who they are. It is a dark figure in the shadows and all you can really see is the barrel of what he thinks is a sniper rifle that shot at Code. He tells this Jedi companion to heal Code and that him and Insignia are going to investigate over there and try to see who it is that is waiting for them. Code gives Insignia his stealth belt so they can get over there without being detected. They leave over toward the spot where Wand’er spotted the dark figure. The tell each other to watch out for stealth detecting droids and that he himself if he is a sniper will have stealth detecting in his sniper nest. What they worry about is that this is either someone who is trying to collect a bounty on this or is someone who is killing for sport and their own amusement. Insignia also tell Wand’er that it could be Pla’sma or Balli’stix since they still work the imperial intelligence and could be on patrol and the imperials don't take lightly to unexpected or documented people on their home planet. Wand’er thinks about it but also thinks that Pla’sma is the best sniper in the Imperial Intelligence he has never not completed a mission and all it takes is 1 shot for him and he doesn’t miss. And at the same time Balli'stix is a bit of a wild card and does what she wants when she is off duty so it could be her but again unlikely. They move slowly and quietly toward the presumed sniper’s nest and have their weapons pull ready for a fight. Wand’er is going to incapacitated the person and Insignia is going to unleash hell on them. As the get right to the edge of the where they saw the shots come from the look around still in stealth but don’t see anything or anyone. The see the 2 bullet casing and that is it. No person, No weapon, No nothing. The look around and out of the corner of her eye Insignia notices that they moved into the tree to get a  better position on the 2 still in the bushes. The had only seconds to act before the sniper took a possibly fatal shot against either member of the group down there. Wand’er signals to Insignia that he is going to try to holotraverse to the sniper. Hopefully this time it works the right way. I hate all of this new Czerka gear but sometimes it comes in handy he thinks to himself.  Wand’er then use holotraverse and it does work and without delay he fire 1 non-lethal backblast at the sniper knocking him out of the tree. Right then Insignia get out of stealth and has her gun pointed right at his covered face. But from out of stealth an imperial operative comes out and draw on of his knives on her and holds it to her back. Wand’er with his blaster pointed at the sniper and shotgun at the operative, what will he do? Who are these 2? Do they work for Imperial intelligence? You will just have to wait and see

Chapter 2 Smuggler Haven

As they approach Code’s Smuggler Haven all Wand’er can think about it is seeing all of his old friends. Reflecting on the good times they had before he left into Wild Space. As they land the ship they can hear laughter and music blasting from the entrance of the Stronghold. As they walk out of the ship there is a droid there waiting to greet them. “Hello,” the droid says “It is nice to meet you Welcome to Code’s Smuggler Haven. If you want to try your hand at the slot machines or place a round at the table you are more than welcome to, and who knows you might walk about of here with more credits than @Mevraz.” Wand’er looks at the droid and says “No I am not here for that I am looking for Code. Have you seen him? I am an old friend of his and I am here to talk with him. Also do you know if a gunslinger named Insignia has been here either I a supposed to be meeting her here as well.” The droid responds “Yes right this way my master will be happy to meet you.” The droid lead them into the stronghold. As they past the front they can see a bunch of shady characters trying to win a fortune. As they go down the stairs they can see a little Bazaar outside on the balcony with all sorts of things to buy. From Beast to giant Rockets. They also pass through a dueling arena where gladiators to put up against one another and people can bet on who will walk out alive. Then they go down the last set of stair and see 2 guards standing in front of the door to the basement. The droid signals that it is ok for Wand’er and his party to enter. As they walk through the door they can see Jawa’s working on a tank for Code. In the middle of the room there are 4 energy nodes that seem to be keeping the whole Stronghold running. They pass through the room they come to another door and then the droid stops. “I am not allowed to enter this room but if you enter Code and Insignia will be in there waiting for you.” Wand’er enters the room to see a room filled with Sith artifacts beasts holocrons and much, much more. Wand’er scans the room and sees Code talking with Insignia next to a huge Underlurker from Makeb. Code looks over to Wand’er and shouts “Hey look who’s here. Wand’er how the heck are you? I haven’t seen you in such a long time. What have you been up to?”

“Just wandering wild space meeting new races and actually finding some cool creatures that I want to tell Doc but I haven’t been able to make it to tatooine.” The 3 exchange stories about what has been going on these last 5 years and catch up. Then all of a sudden they hear blaster shots coming from up in the Casino. They look at Code who runs into the next room and pulls up the security cameras that are places all over the stronghold. When they look at the cameras they see that Hutt forces are attack the Stronghold.

“Why today!” Code says “Did someone tell Nem’ro that both Wand’er and myself were going to be here.”

Wand’er says “Maybe we should not have double crossed him more than once. I think he is just taking this opportunity to take us both out. But I don’t go down without a fight. Let’s go protect this stronghold.”

Code tells Wand’er “This stronghold is heavily equipped we have troops that will fight so lets go kick some Hutt tail.”

“Don’t you 2 forget about me.” Insignia says “I love a chance to take out a hutt.” They all run upstairs in the middle of the fray. Blaster bolts fly back and forth. You can hear the people yell back and forth. Code, Wand’er, and Insignia are pushing back the hutt force slowly but surely. As they clean up the last of the soldiers they keep 1 alive and tell him to send a message to Nem’ro that he can send anyone he wants to this stronghold he will never take it. “So Code can are you up for coming with us to visit Doc on Tatooine?” Wand’er asks.

“What? You told him that Doc was on Tatooine? Insignia you know he moved to Dromund Kaas.” Code says.

“ I forgot give me a break,” She replies.

“Yeah you forgot where your husband is ok,” Code says laughing “You just didn’t want to tell Wand’er yet. Be honest with yourself” Insignia looks at Wand’er, who is still trying to process everything, and then says. “Yes it is true he is on Dromund Kaas and he is my husband.” Wand’er still looks shocked but then says “Well them let’s to deep into imperial territory and see my brother.” So they all get in Wand’er ship and make their way to Dromund Kaas.

Chapter 1 Ord Mantel

Right now Wand’er is on a holocall talking to Insignia

“Can you make it to Ord Mantell? What do you mean you hate this planet? What do you mean because your ship was stolen once you don’t want to take that chance again? I need your help. You know the Inner and Deep Core so Well. Fine if not Ord Mantell than what Planet can we meet on a talk? If you have a stronghold on Coruscant then I should be able to meet you there. Have you heard from either Code or Doc?

You can barely hear Insignia’s Voice coming through the holocall put she replies “I have talked to Code once since you went into Wild Space, I think he is working with the Hutts on Nar Shaddaa and has a Smuggler Haven Stronghold on there. The front for it is a Casino but I would watch out. I haven’t ever been there and don’t really know anything about it but just remember that Code has a thing for Ancient Sith artifacts and you know he likes to keep his valuables with him. So I would not go snooping to the bottom floors.

Wand’er continues asking “Well what about Doc have you heard from him?”

Insignia replies “You know Doc, he likes to keep to himself he is on Tatooine studying the creatures there. He won’t leave unless it is an emergency but I can call him and tell him that you are back. I think he will want to talk to his brother he hasn’t talk to or seen in almost 5 years.”

Wand’er thinks about the last time he saw Dr. Freeze, it was the day before Wand’er left for Wild Space. Dr Freeze couldn’t leave with Wand’er because he had to finish he study on Nexu on Voss even though he really wanted to. He was able to see Wand’er off but after that they could not talk to each other since Wand’er was in Wild Space.

Wand’er says “ Yeah I miss talking to him and I know he would love to travel this whole galaxy with me. If you could give me his contact information I can’t get in contact with him anymore and I don’t know why.” he continues “It is a little concerning that I cannot reach him but I know he is able to take care of himself.” Wand’er continues to talk to Insignia catching up with her learning about all the crazy things that have been going on. He listen and give his occasional comment. As the conversation grows to a close Wand’er says “There is this guy that has been staring at me the whole time I have been here. I don’t know what he wants and if I turn around he may do something. What should I do?”

Insignia responds “Just be careful, don’t forget you still have a price on your head from your best friend Nem’ro the Hutt. He could be a bounty hunter.”

Wand’er says in response “Yeah hold up I am going to make quick work of this one.” Wand’er discretely hits a button on his wrist band signaling to his companions outside the Cantina to not come in tells Insignia that he will call her from his portable holocom. And then just like that Wand’er vanishes into stealth. The guy stands up pulls out his blasters and starts searching from Wand’er in the Cantina, but there are so many people it is hard from him to make out anyone. He stays on alert wait for Wand’er to make his move. Wand’er traveling in stealth quietly walks up behind the man and takes out his blaster shotgun.

I am going to make short work of this guy He thinks to himself. He puts the blaster shotgun behind the back of the guy and fire BANG and just like that he shot the guy right in the back with a non-lethal shot. Everyone in the Cantina runs out screaming in terror. Wand’er knees down next to the guy who is hurt but not too bad. Wand’er says “Get up right now! Who are you?”

The man looks at him and says “You should have killed me when you had the chance. Now I can finish the job and get paid.” The main revealed the bounty set by the Hutt. “Nem’ro wants you skin to mount on his wall. He willing to pay top mercenaries for your head.” Wand’er looks at him and then knocks the bounty hunter out with the butt of his gun. Wand’er searches the bounty hunter quick trying to learn anything about him. He has no name that he can find and then Wand’er hears the police sirens. So without a minute to lose Wand’er decides to leave the bounty hunter knocked out hoping that he will get arrested. He runs out of the Cantina looks for this 2 companions tell them “Time to leave”

“What happened this time Wand’er? Did someone stare at you again and make you uncomfortable?” The Jedi Companion asked.

Wand’er rolls his eyes, “How many times are you going to bring that up? It was only 5 times. And this time it was a  bounty hunter. Nem’ro still has a grudge for me double crossing him and send 4 of his best mercenaries to an imperial prison. I mean it is not my fault the are idiots and that the empire offered me more money.” They get to their speeders and then speed out of the town just to the edge. “Hold up” says Wand’er “I we have to start the job and talk down notes about this planet and then I have to call Insignia back” The team parks their speeders right next to a small cliff. Wand’er and his companion start taking down notes about the planet. As they finish each section of Ord Mantell the get closer and closer to their goal. As they finish after a couple close calls Wand’er decides to call back Insignia and arrange for them to meet at Code’s Stronghold and catch up. Insignia has already called Code and they decided that it was time for them to Catch up. As Wander gets close to being ready to leave Ord Mantell he thinks in his head that he will have to go back into that town to get his starship that is still there. As they got done with the last part of Ord Mantell Wand’er and his team decide that it is time for them to leave. They have all of their useful data from this planet. The return back to the spaceport with no issue. As Wand’er enters his hangar he is relieved to see that his ship is still there. He did not want to try to track down his ship like Insignia had to. As they enter the ship Wand’er say “One planet down, many more to go but first set a course for Nar Shaddaa. We have some catching up to do with some old friends” As they leave Ord Mantell Wand’er looks down at the planet and thinks to himself I understand now why Insignia hates this planet I hate it too. Then the ship blasts off into hyperspace their destination Nar Shaddaa and Code’s Smuggler Haven.

A starship lands on a landing zone on the war torn planet of Ord Mantel, a Chiss Smuggler walks out with his fallen Jedi Companion as well as his pet _______. They look tired after their last mission coming back from Wild Space. The Smuggler Introduces himself as Wand’er. The Shipping Dock Manager Looks at him and says T“Wand’er what the hell kind of name is that” he continues" Tell me what your real name is right now or I will have you arrested.”He look at his Jedi Companion who just stands there eyes covered by her hood. He look at his pet. Then in a blink of an eye he takes out his blaster and fires 1 shot right between the eye of the Shipping Dock Manager. He says to himself “You shouldn’t make fun of people’s name.” He puts his blaster back in his holster. He says to his companions “Let’s go we have a job.” Without question they continue to move. Their Job is to survey every planet and document it for their boss and report back.

Wand’er has done this before for other galaxies and this one before, but this time his employer has a special request. He wants Wand’er to learn everything he can about these Planets. Their Beast, Their Terrain, any special organization, any worthy creatures that he could kill for trophies. Wand’er accepted this job for a small fortune. This job could be someone’s last job forever but Wand’er is not in it for money. Wand’er always seeks adventure and will continue until he can’t do it anymore. His motto is: There is always something more. You can never have enough. He has gotten in hot water over this. He currently has a price on his head from a Hutta he double cross, a couple mandalorians he embarrassed in a bounty competition, and a piss off hotheaded Sith Lord that wasn’t happy he was able to unlock secrets from an old tomb for him. Wand’er exits the hanger looks around and says “Let me make some calls, I know some people that might be able to help us and have been here longer than I have”

“Ok” say his Jedi Companion “I can make some calls to I hope some of my former friends are here as well. We have been in Wild Space for so long I lost contact with them. Maybe they can help us also. I can sense that they are all still here but I am not sure where in this Galaxy.”

“Great!” Wand’er replies “I am going to contact 3 other smuggler friends and see if they could help us out. I haven’t talked to him in so long it would be nice to catch up with them”

“Ok.” The Jedi Companion says “What are their names?”

Wand’er says “Insignia, Code, and Dr Freeze.” He continues “Who are the people you are going to try to get in contact with?”

The Companion replies “Phantom a dark Jedi, she was actually someone who I was really close to. She was my master when I was still part of the Order. Her Sister White-Lightning, they don’t always see eye to eye on everything, but they are family so they have to get a long. And Pure a knight of the Jedi order. He has done a lot and is currently hunting actually one of my sith contacts Blaze for the death of a Jedi master. I never told him that I knew her and it should stay that way.”

“My lips are sealed” Wand’er replied.

They walk into the local Cantina at this Republic Military Base and try to start making contact with their old friends. What awaits them as they start this new adventure? You will Just have to wait and see… … …
