Two days ago, Afafan, captain of “The Red Blade”, sent out a distress call before crashlanding on Dathomir. Despite the danger of this planet, a rescue operation led by Captain Rajha Al’Rajhiim of the “Abysmal Dream”, a YT-2400 class modified freighter, set out immediately.



While the planet was reached without incident, once on the ground the rescue operation ran into some difficulties. The escape pod captain Afafan had taken was found, but the captain was not there – a droid revealed he had been kidnapped by natives, so-called “Nightsisters”, and taken to a nearby settlement. Despite the risk, the rescue party, after calling for reinforcements, entered the village – which was under attack by a number of mercenaries and stormtroopers, providing a distraction – and searched for the missing spacer. Again, they did not find him, but got his datapad, which had recordings on it that showed that Afafan had been taken to a cave to be sacrificed.



Pressed for time, the group rushed to the cave and managed to save the seriously wounded captain before he ended up as a meal for some of the local wildlife. He was stabilised, and brought back to Tatooine on board the “Abysmal Dream”. The return was not without trouble though, and the ship came under attack by unknown, possibly pirate, forces, but managed to deal with them.



Afafan’s wounds and amnesia were treated at the med center in Mos Entha. He is expected to make a full recovery.
