Shandra Alavai, the spice dealer.
A dense fog covered the streets of Hunter's Landing when the "Hunter's Blood" landed in the hangars of the city. The VCX was already known to the administrator who quickly came out to welcome Colonel Dima, one of the two Trandoshans who held positions of power within the AMC. The other was the renowned General Shivers.
Not far from the hangars are the taverns where all kinds of bounty hunters gather to look for jobs. Adde Dima walked through the alleys to the "Bossk" tavern, named in honor of the famous Trandoshan bounty hunter. When he arrived he took off his helmet and entered opening the door wide, at the back was the old Chadra Fan who always had work, and well paid. Seeing him enter the Chadra Fan invited him to sit next to him while he took out the bag where he kept the Pucks. Adde arrived, put his helmet on the table and sat down in front of his employer, who, without feigning cordiality, passed him a puck. "- This is for you, her name is Shandra Alavai, she is wanted for spice trafficking in several cities of Leafar, she is not needed alive -". Adde took the puck and kept it under his cloak, took his helmet and stood up "- Ssssee you ssssoon -" he hissed before turning his back to her and walking towards the entrance of the tavern. Before leaving he looked around again, put on his helmet and walked through the door, on his way out he touched the place where he had kept the puck to make sure it was still there and walked towards his ship.
Following the indications of the "Tracking Fob" we arrive at the planet Giju, homeland of the Herglic. The planet is completely covered by water, except for a couple of islands and a vast territory in its North Pole that remains frozen. It was precisely there that Shandra Alavai and her followers were hiding.
As far as Adde could find out, their target had tried to exploit the illegal spice trade among Leafar's wealthiest class. The AMC's intelligence apparatus had managed to disrupt the points of sale, but Alavai managed to flee out of the space where the AMC had power.
Alavai, known in Leafar as a businessman with eccentric tastes.
The "Sudden Death" descended safely over a cliff from where it had control of the white plains of ice and snow that stretched between the Giju mountain range.
While his companions prepared the V-35, Adde approached the edge of the cliff and observed with the macro binoculars towards some caverns from where smoke was coming out, apparently they were burning something inside. He adjusted the scope and could see a couple of Gomorreans that were adding firewood to an improvised bonfire. It didn't take long for Alavai to appear, well dressed as always and with a blaster on his belt.
Adde smiled slightly and walked towards his companions, "- I have him identified, let'sss go now and thisss job will be quick -". They boarded the V35 and set off at full speed. Suddenly something hit the base of the ship and as they tried to brake they skidded on the frozen surface, the pilot's only reaction was to turn and so they ended up embedded in the snow. "- V35s are not for sssnow -" Noris Bane said as he looked at the ship's manual. Hoping not to have attracted the attention of the bandits, they left two companions next to the V35 and the rest followed the path.
After a long trek through the snow and some risky climbing on the snowy cliffs of Giju, they managed to reach Alavai's hideout after dark. A good advantage for the Trandoshans, who can see in the dark. Taking advantage of their advantage, they entered the bend by surprise and without problem managed to assassinate the guards, then split into groups of 2 and entered in separate pieces. Opening the door, Adde could see Alavai lying on a wide bed next to two Twi'lek slaves who slept next to him but chained to the bed. The experienced hunter approached without making noise and with his vibrating knife cut Alavai's throat, who opened his eyes and unsuccessfully tried with his hands to stop the blood from flowing from the wound he had inflicted on his neck. Both Twi'lek awoke and watched in fright as their slaver died. "- Get dressed, take your things and whatever you need to be able to afford to flee this planet-" Adde told them as he cut off Alavai's head.
Outside the cave the reptilians were distributing food and trinkets they had found in the bandits' lair, between Noris Bane and Dolph Geasauco they turned over the snow boxes of spice that Alavai kept among his belongings.
The VCX arrived piloted by Eshu, the astromech. He had also picked up the V35 and the two hunters that remained with it. As they boarded the ship they saw the two Twi'lek come out of the cave, one of them was mounted on a Swoop bike, the other approached the Trandos, "- My name is Ciri Lordess, I am a hunter but I was captured by Shandra Alavai a few months ago, I wanted to join your group as a thank you and because I owe you my life -".
The squadron, made up entirely of Trandoshans, had never had hunters of other species. "- You are welcome, sssoon you will be able to tessst your ssskills, if you don't manage to catch up with our Black Army, you can ssstay and live in Leafar-", Adde said having received the approval of all his companions. Lordess smiled relieved and said goodbye to her companion who without waiting another second accelerated the Swoop bike and was lost in the icy horizon.
They boarded the ship and Eshu took it off, already in space we set course for Leafar. Lordess sat at the bar with the most disorderly of the squadron, while others rested. Adde walked to his room, took off his armor and fell asleep thinking about his next job.
Ciri Lordess entered hunter school and today remains active as a corporal in the black army.
