Plot Synopsis


On a dark and forbidding world the crew must help an unlikely relative.

Plot Summary


A nuzzalari distress beacon from the surface of Lamora brought the crew to the graveyard world at TAG's insistence. The Captain let TAG take an away team down to the surface to investigate. He brought Shauna and Marty with him, the latter of which complained about how creepy the planet was and how their might be ghosts. TAG pointed out that Marty spent a lot of time with ghosts only to have Tyn complain about the creepiness of the planet.
When they finally came across the Nuzzalari Scout Ship? they also found TAG's father leading the crew. Fuzziewuzzielar remained cryptic as to the nature of his mission, though TAG pressed the issue given that the ship had crashed on a planet at the edge of Hoffan space but his father remained resolute in not explaining himself.
Taking matters into their own hands, TAG, Shauna, and Marty began to investigate what data the crew had been collecting when they crashed. They overpowered a guard and began to look over the data, when they were confronted by Fuzziewuzzielar and some of his crew. However, Marty had stayed out of the room and when Fuzziewuzzielar and his men had gone in Marty had sneaked in behind and ignited his lightsaber to indicate that they meant business.
Fuzziewuzzielar explained that they were suspicious of a number of things going on with the Hoff and they had come to investigate. They had been attacked by a cloaked Hoffan ship, which was a technology they were not known to posses. Crashing on Lamora only saved them due to Hoffan superstitions about the dead. They warned the Muffin and retrieved a data cylinder with all of the information the ship had gathered. Once back on the ship Fuzziewuzzielar and his crew quickly disappeared with the cylinder and got off the ship, as TAG expected they would.
With the revelation that the Hoff were in league with the Remulans, the Hutts, and the Space Pirates and that war was likely immenant, the crew braced themselves for what was to come. Fuzziewuzzielar got the information to the head of Section 13 and they both moved to find as much information as they could.
