Krussk and Odo-Kor decided to stock up on food from the cargo containers before pursuing the Rodians. They figured that since they were stranded, any civilization was better than none. While they were gathering supplies, however, they heard a speeder approach. They hid behind the container, and Krussk started rapidly putting the food back.
A flat-bed skimmer with a cargo arm floated over the hill, piloted by a skinny-headed humanoid wearing a white, hooded robe. This person failed to notice the two hidden party members, but as he was loading a cargo container onto his skimmer, he noticed the hole cut into the side of it. At this point, Odo-Kor stepped out and said hello. Startled, the stranger asked who he was and wanted to know what he was doing there. Odo-Kor introduced himself said that they had been stranded. The person introduced himself as Phyll, and it became clear that he was a Muun, of banking clan infamy. He was obviously a Separatist. Krussk stepped out, and Odo-Kor introduced him as well. Phyll welcomed them to the planet Yauslag.
After a brief questioning by Phyll to confirm that the players were really associates of Captain Koran, they were invited to help him collect the cargo and take it back to his hidden base. The base turned out to be an abandoned underground depot for farm machinery. Phyll explained that this planet had seen industrialization many centuries ago, but that it had been mostly abandoned and then re-settled by Rodians looking for a simpler hunting existence. This base was one of the last farming posts during industrialized times. They descended into the tri-level hangar, and saw the walls lined with about 2 dozen battle droids in maintenance alcoves.
Phyll explained that this place was a secret cache of Separatist droids, and that he was slowly taking the standard models and updating them with individual processors so that they could operate more independently. As he put it, "It's a whole different war now." He has been here for months by himself, with ships dropping off droids every week or so. He also said that he had asked the local Rodian hunters to "discourage" anyone seen hanging around his drop-off point.
He noticed the blasted locking mechanism on the container, and complained that it was going to take forever to properly unload and re-load the droids. Krussk said that he could repair it if he had tools and some assistance. Phyll and Odo-Kor helped out, and after about an hour the electronic lock was repaired. While they welded a plate over the hole that had been cut in the container, Phyll unloaded the droids and started to reprogram them. Odo-Kor and Krussk then decided that they would help get cargo crates as quickly as possible.
As they drove out to pick up the second crate, they noticed black smoke coming from over the horizon in the direction that the Rodians had ridden. On the way out for the third crate, Phyll called them on a comlink and said that his perimeter sensors were picking up a platoon of clone troopers incoming on a speeder APC. They rushed back to the base, and Odo-Kor was frantically activating battle droids. The two party members joined in, and started booting them up. They worked downward, and were almost done with the second floor when the sounds of blaster fire erupted from the level above. The battle droids were engaging the clone troopers.
One of the troopers rappelled down in front of the party, and Odo-Kor quickly ignited his lightsaber and severed the lower portion of the cable. As the trooper started to swing around to land on the second level, Odo-Kor cut the cable above him, dropping him to the floor of the hangar. Krussk continued to activate droids, and Odo-Kor eventually came back to help too.
After the second floor was done, all three jumped into the turbolift down to the ground floor. As the doors opened at the bottom, a blaster shot impacted on the rear wall of the lift. The fallen trooper had taken up a position behind a column and was firing. Odo-Kor charged him and attacked with his lightsaber. The trooper fired back at close quarters, and Krussk ran up to help, bayonet at the ready. The two of them flanked the trooper and Krussk impaled him, taking him out of the fight. Phyll fired up the skimmer and activated the lift, and everyone jumped on board. The stabbed trooper was hauled aboard as well for his armor. Phyll said that he had an escape transport hidden a few kilometers away, and that they would have to make a run for it.
Shots were fired at them as they rose past the other two floors, but they were able to hide behind the cargo arm for cover. As they cleared the surface, another trooper jumped onto the skimmer from ground level. A frantic battle ensued, and it looked like Odo-Kor was about to run out of breath before being fatally shot. Krussk stepped in between the trooper and his friend, however, and Odo-Kor was able to catch a second wind. Krussk then impaled the trooper on his bayonet, and pushed him over the edge into the hangar below.
Odo-Kor and Krussk saw the un-manned APC speeder, and commandeered it while Phyll led the way. Once they arrived at Phyll's ship, Odo-Kor disabled the controls of the APC with his lightsaber, and they jumped aboard the transport. As they departed the atmosphere, an Empire cruiser started to pursue. But it was too far away in orbit, and the party was able to jump into hyperspace.
They flew to Ryusion, which was the original destination of Captain Koran. There they were able to meet up with their friend. Koran said that the plan had been to leave the Jedi safely with Phyll. As he was unloading, however, an Empire ship had shown up and demanded to know what they were doing. They claimed they were making some repairs on the way to Ryusion, and had to leave before they had unloaded all of the crates, including the one with Ji-Lin's padawan inside.
