4 years ago:
The Frigate “Hunter’s Blood” begins to move slowly in the orbit of Comra.
"All set, comrades!" - Adde Dima shouted excitedly. After the difficulties the Black Squad had to clear Carlac's surface, Logan Shivers had rewarded them with a free week at the luxurious Space Station "The Dragon's Lair." The entire Consortium knew about the parties that were held there, everything was luxurious, from the Galish liquor to the exotic Twi Lek dancers. "Let's not waste any more time and at full speed in the direction of the Space Station" - Adde finished saying in the ear of Fernanda Elson, the Trandoshan pilot who did not find the anxiety of the first lieutenant of the AMC very honorable.
The HyperTravel went smoothly, the area was safe and the trail had been done dozens of times. Despite this, Adde Dima looked quite uneasy compared to how he was leaving Comra. Shortly before arriving at the space station, he gathered his Elite squad and locked himself in the soundproof room with them. “Comrades, I have something to report to you. An old acquaintance is at the station, he's a Mandalorian who helped me contact Logan when I wanted to flee Trandora and join the AMC." - Bazz Latt, a member of the Elite Black Squad and Sergeant of the Black Squad, smiled and laughed - "And what can we be interested in?, do whatever you want with your free time." - Adde looked at him seriously - "That's what I mean, we don't have free time, we have to kill him. My mission at that time was to assassinate Logan, he was wanted by the Trandora authorities for having allied with Wookies. It is evident that my real objective was not to assassinate him, so this Mandalorian named Kurn is now looking for me as well." The smile faded from the Sergeant's face and he looked at Noris Bane and Sairs Sams, both of whom lifted their shoulders. "Well, let's do it quickly and so we have free time." - Noris said, she was the bravest female Adde had ever met. “Haven't you heard how strong the Mandolarians are? We would need the entire black squad!" - Bazz said nervously. "That's the point, we have to do it quietly, we don't want to tarnish the reputation of the space station." - Adde said looking at his 3 strongest soldiers - “We cannot involve Logan. Inside the station there are people who are helping us. We will do it quickly, but well." - Adde Dima finished saying, his seriousness and neatness in the work in the hunt generated respect in his comrades in arms, nobody would dare to doubt his strategy and even less contradict him.
The Dragon's Lair. Famous for its luxurious facilities.
"Everyone to their positions, imminent arrival at the space station" - Fernanda the pilot transmitted. When Adde arrived at her side she looked at him with concern, - "Sir, they have sent us to dock at a dock reserved for complete revisions, it seems strange to me because we are important members of the Consortium" - Adde looked at her strangely and then looked at the communication screen, he tapped her on the shoulder affectionately and without saying anything sat up worried. Behind him, the Elite members of the Black Squad settled into their seats, looked at each other, and prepared for docking.
There were no problems with the docking of the "Hunter’s Blood", in fact the dock looked too dull to be one of those used for ship inspections. Adde Dima and his best soldiers waited by the door as it opened, the 4 Trandoshans with their armor and black capes used to impose themselves on the colorful uniforms of different military and mercenary organizations. The door was opened and no one was waiting outside, normally a group of soldiers would have been found ready for a routine check, but no, no one was waiting for them. "How strange" - Adde said while resting his hand on his blaster, - "Be alert." The 4 soldiers walked down the entrance ramp to the ship and stopped. They immediately formed a defensive position, put their backs together and looked at the pier with their eyes, - "Not a damn droid" - Sais Sams said somewhat nervous. - "Could it be that the Mandalorian was waiting for you?" - Noris said looking at Adde, who instead of answering raised a hand in silence.

The tense calm was broken by the sound of an explosion that came from within the “Hunter’s Blood”, followed by shots from Blasters. The 4 soldiers looked at each other and quickly climbed the ramp to re-enter the ship, all with their weapons drawn entered and slipped into the cockpit. Inside the ship, the Trandoshans, preparing for their week off, gathered their weapons in bewilderment. "What was that?!" - Adde yelled as he entered the cabin. Fernanda looked at him in surprise and next to her the B1 service droid repeated nervously: "Intruder, intruder, intruder, intruder." Everything cleared up in Adde's head, the Mandalorian was waiting for him and had sneaked into the ship upon landing, most likely he also had contacts within the space station. "Quick Fernanda, undock from the station, the free week is canceled, we will confront the intruder far from the Dragon's Lair" - Adde said before rejoining his elite squad - "Comrades, each one gather 4 warriors, we are going to hunt the intruder." - The three looked at him seriously and nodded at the same time, - "Yes sir!"
Adde called Josh Cadav, Zev Visputin and Anna Res. He told them what was happening and they set off on the hunt. The ship had already undocked from the station and there was no chance the Mandalorian could escape. The search was tense, nobody knew who was hunter and who was prey. The Trandoshans knew how good the Mandalorians were at hunting and it was not an easy challenge despite the Black Squad having the upper hand. The tense silence was only interrupted by the sound of the boots on the metal of the ship, at each corner they stopped, sniffed and then advanced. The explosion they had heard earlier had been in the loading area and the shots had been fired by a young recruit who was on guard duty. He was badly injured and was being cured, but he remained unconscious. They had already thoroughly searched the cargo area and had found no one.
A new explosion and the sound of blasters broke the silence again, Adde's radio rang: “He's on the dock! He tried to steal the YT-2000, we managed to avoid him but he barricaded himself in sector C2, we need reinforcements! Over and out." - It was Noris Bane who was speaking, he had found the intruder and we would have to hunt him down. Quickly Adde and his squad ran off, but were intercepted by a Mandalorian who crossed their path. "Stop there!" He yelled as he pointed his weapon at Adde Dima's chest - "Not one more step, I finally find you a Trandoshan rat, who would have imagined that from being a slave you would go on to have ships and even a squad of your own." - Without stopping aiming, he forced the 4 soldiers to drop their weapons and raise their hands. - "Good move, Kurn, but I don't have to pay a slaver, even if you've helped me. Now I fight with the Wookiees against people like you, here the rat is you"- Adde said with contempt. - "Well, whatever you want. You could at least learn all the corridors of your own ship, it was very easy to catch and confuse your famous Black Elite Squad. Now let's go to the cockpit, I have an epic ending prepared for you, worthy of a Trandoshan joining the Wookies."

Now let's go to the cockpit, I have an epic ending prepared for you, worthy of a Trandoshan joining the Wookies."
The explosion caught a young recruit standing guard by surprise.
Upon reaching the cockpit, Adde saw how 3 Mandalorians held his entire squad hostage, except for Bazz Latt and his 3 soldiers. "Is someone missing to lock up?" - Kurn asked. "No one is missing, you have us all." Adde answered frustrated, his plan had failed and now from hunter he had gone to prey in less than a minute. "Direct subluminal travel to the following coordinates please" - Kurn said handing a paper to the Mandalorian who replaced Fernanda in piloting the ship. The Mandalorians took all the Trandoshans and locked them in the garbage can. "Here they will travel like the treacherous garbage they are" - Kurn said with contempt, who despite being a Mando, sympathized with the Imperial and Trandoshan slavers.
The trip turned out to be the longest in Adde's life, a thousand ideas were advancing in his head to be able to turn around the painful situation in which he was with his brothers. Where was Bazz? He hoped he was preparing a counterattack. And so it was, some shots alerted them and then the doors were opened, Bazz and his group managed to assassinate the Mandalorian who was watching them and were able to rescue their companions. Then, they advanced towards the cockpit to regain control of the ship, but upon arrival they found it empty, traveling with automatic pilot directly to a… Black hole !. - “Damn them, Fernanda, change the course as quickly as possible. Visputin and Plmary stay and watch the cabin, the rest of us are going to hunt down those bastards." Adde said before leaving for the dock followed by his faithful companions.
Upon reaching the dock they met resistance, the 3 remaining Mandalorians barricaded themselves behind some boxes and fired at the Trandoshans, seriously wounding Dolph Gesauco who was the first to appear through the door. - “Come on, be careful! Res, Swift and Sams flank the dock and press through the entrance on the right." - Adde looked at Bazz and Noris and said in a low voice: "I don't understand why the Mandalorians still haven't run away, they've had plenty of time to steal the YT-2000" - Bazz looked at him with a smile - "You're going to have to excuse me. boss, but before releasing them we sabotaged all the ships to prevent them from fleeing." - All the Trandoshans let out a laugh that was only interrupted by Kurn's nervous voice shouting at them from his trench. - “There is nothing to laugh at idiots! You have us surrounded, it's true! But we are going straight into a black hole and it is impossible to change the course of the ship unless you put a key that I have!" - Adde looked at his companions and then scratched his head somewhat nervously. The radio began to play - “Sir, here Fernanda. The ship does not respond to me, I have done everything possible, but the collision with the black hole is imminent, sorry, I have failed." - The message ended and everyone looked nervous. Should they make a pact with the slavers? They went from insecurity to certainty. No, the answer would always be no. "Hey Kurn! Choose, we will kill you now or the black hole will kill you!" Adde yelled with certainty. He could see how Sams leaned through the door on the right and made a gesture of approval, then Res and Swift leaned out and opened fire from the right flank, taking the Mandalorians by surprise. Immediately Adde leaned out opening fire and his companions ran over the Mandalorians who, surprised, fired without hitting the target. Adde dropped his Blaster and unsheathed his vibroblade - "You are an idiot Adde, you condemned yourself along with all your companions" Kurn said before being pierced from side to side. In less than 1 minute all 3 Mandalorians had been defeated, 2 killed, and Kurn was dying. "Now you're going to escort us to the cockpit and put in the damn code." Bazz said as he jerked it up. "Ahhgg, idiots, your death is imminent ... ughhh ..." Kurn said as he endured the pain of the wound. Adde's radio began to play again: “Sir, it was a pleasure fighting alongside you. Freedom or death!" - Fernanda was heard shouting and everyone looked at each other in surprise. Suddenly there was a loud blow that sent Trandoshans, ships and boxes flying. Before falling, the internal gravity of the ship was lost and that prevented them from certain death crushed by the ships. Adde tried to move towards one of the entrances, but a loud noise began to penetrate his brain, he covered his ears but still it was inevitable that the loud beep would go through his skull. He closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
The black hole. A fascinating show to observe from afar.
