October 8 recap

•The Mandalorians show they're wise to the party now, arresting and imprisoning them at Deeja Peak.

•Yvegeny and Kelif hold off an army of Mandalorians to provide a distraction.

•The party plans to start its planet-wide rebellion at Keren.

The party takes off for Deeja Peak, wanting to regroup with Celeri and any other unwilling Mandalorians to help coordinate their burgeoning rebellion. Upon landing the Capanata in Deeja Peak, Yvegeny exits the ship to find a large welcoming party of Mandalorians waiting for him. A Rally Master questions what orders brought him there, then leads him away to a detention center for further discussion. When Ras and Kelif attempt to leave the Capanata as well, they are also questioned by a Rally Master and hauled to a detention center. They are told that security footage from the war forge shows them leaving with a high-priority Sith prisoner (Ordal Naberrie) on their ship, leaving the Mandalorians to think the Capanata is housing a group of traitors. Yvegeny, Ras and Kelif are stripped of their weapons and armor and shoved into individual holding cells in a former police station. The Mandalorians force their way onto the Capanata and arrest Lyta and Oro, though they miss the hidden Gobmush and Marina.

While in prison, Yvegeny constructs a shiv. Ras managed to hide her lightsaber on her person, and uses it to smash the force field generator protecting her room. She promptly uses a mind trick to send the guards away, then frees the others. When the guards return, Ras and Yvegeny quickly dispatch them, and despite their grievous wounds, Lyta keeps them alive. The group heads to the armory and finds all of their equipment there. Realizing the whole city has turned against them, the party decides it needs to head back to the Capanata to escape.

Yvegeny and Kelif draw their guns and prepare to be a big distraction — drawing out the Mandalorians with heavy fire and grenades. Meanwhile, Ras, Oro and Lyta sneak out the police station another way, taking advantage of the distraction to get to the ship. Yvegeny and Kelif launch a suicidal attack on the Mandalorians and are interrupted by a heavily armored Mandalorian with a giant sword, who gives Yvegeny some new scars but is ultimately brought down by Kelif. The duo makes its way towards the barracks, hoping to hit the Mandalorians where it hurts.

Ras, Lyta and Oro arrive at the Capanata's docking bay, only to find a Basilisk war droid guarding their ship. Ras uses the Force to hurl the driver off, then not able to read the console (as it's in Mando'a), stabs at the controls, shutting the droid down. They get aboard the Capanata and find Gobmush and Marina still aboard. They haul the Basilisk inside for later repairs, and the ship takes off and heads for Yvegeny and Kelif's position.

Yvegeny and Kelif find the barracks empty — just about every able-bodied soldier in Deeja Peak is armed and chasing them. They hole up inside, barricading the doors, and continue to take pot shots at the soldiers gathering outside, then notice the Mandalorians bringing grenade launchers to tear the doors down and storm the building. Yvegeny and Kelif destroy the grenade launchers, only to find out (painfully) that snipers have drawn a bead on their position, and they're effectively trapped.

At this moment, the Capanata swoops in overhead to extract its two errant gunrunners. Needing cover from the snipers, Yvegeny and Kelif set fire to the building, using the smoke as cover to get on the roof and board the Capanata. The ship races away from Deeja Peak, evading Basilisk war droid pursuers. As the Capanata heads back to the Eutix lab site, they get a transmission — during the firefight in Deeja Peak, about 200 rebels stormed the docking bays and stole 11 starships, and they'll rendezvous at the Eutix lab site.

When the party arrives at the Eutix site, they find a large group of rebels waiting for them, looking for direction. Yvegeny suggests first freeing the city of Keren, which is under siege by the Mandalorians but still has a strong Republic contingent. He delivers a rousing speech to the rebels, and the party prepares to retake Keren.
