Arriving out of hyperspace over Nal Hutta, 3 King Cobras and 2 Shuttles exited hyperspace. Oron checked the scanners and saw the facility isolated from travel lanes.
"Alright, Shuttles Monarch and Moth, wait for the signal. Stay out of sensor range. We will notify you when the defenses are down. Is that understood?" said Oron through his comlink.
"Yes, sir." said both of the pilots of the two shuttles. Each of the shuttles carried 40 Space troopers, 80 total. The shuttles cut down on the engines and engaged the auto-pilot, plotting their course to kill some time.
"Kira and Jasirm, engage Stealth systems." Oron pressed some buttons then a beeping sounded in his cockpit. This notified him that the stealth system was on. Now he hoped that it would work. The 3 ships put all engines to full power and blasted towards the Hutt controlled Space Station.
As they drew closer, there was no enemy fire. Oron smiled as the stealth system was fully operational. Now they just had to find a place to land. Oron scanned the stations as they flew around it. His scanners showed that there was a small platform just below the station. The 3 fighters dove downwards and engaged their landing gears. They hovered above the platform and slowly floated down to the platform. Shutting down the systems, Oron was the first to leave the ship and looked around. There were no cameras here, luckily. He knew that once they were inside, that they would have to be extremely careful. Kira and Jasirm got out of their ships and stood next to Oron."What's the plan sir?"
"Kira, I want you to find the weapons. If you find any mercs, then the chances the weapons there are pretty good but we'll need a visual." Oron reached into his robes and handed her a camera."Take pictures of the guns if you can get in there. If you can't just message me and I'll see what I can do. Jasirm, you and I will disable the Stations defenses."
"Roger that." The 3 Republic troops walked towards the blast door.

"Come on Jasirm, open the damn door..." said an impatient Kira. Jasirm was getting frustrated with the door controls. Oron was calm with the situation. They had all the time in the world, unless something came up. Jasirm finally got the controls to work and the door slowly opened. All of them went to the outer frame of the door, not wanting to be spotted if anything was there. Oron was on the right side while Kira and Jasirm were on the left. Kira stepped to the side with her rifle pointed in the entrance."Clear." she said as the 2 men grouped up with her at the door.
"Alright, we'll hit up the hangar first. Jasirm, we'll need you to dismantle their fighters. Kira, you'll be ahead of us and alerting us to enemy positions. I will find the weapons."
The two soldiers nodded to Oron's orders and Kira began taking point.

The space station was light in some areas and dark in others. There were only few guards around. Kira was up a-ways from Oron and Jasirm. As they traced her path, they noticed a few bodies scattered across the area, stashed away in corners. Jasirm was the first to notice this and leaned over to Oron."I thought the Admiral wanted us to try and avoid combat before the troopers arrive..." grunted Jasirm.
"Don't worry, I'm sure she had reason to. Helped the troopers out, didn't it?"Oron asked jokingly."There she is." The two men stopped as they finally met up with Kira who was behind some crates in the hangar. Oron crouched behind one crate and slowly peeked his head over it. There was 3 Yacht Ships, each guarded by different types of mercs. The Hutt's themselves must've been here. This would have been an extra bonus possibly. They would be brought to the courts and tried for illegal weapons. Various types of fighters and troopers were scattered throughout the area. Oron then noticed a lift that lead to the upper levels of the facility, where he sensed more trouble was up there.
"Alright, Jasirm, I want you to disable the ships alarm systems. After that, disable the hangar doors so nobody can leave." Oron said.
"What about the shuttles? How will they get on board?" asked Kira.
"Leave that to me." Kira and Jasirm looked at each other.
"Kira, I want you to find out where these Hutt's are. Do not engage. When you find them, contact me." continued Oron.
"Yes, sir. What about you?"
"I'm gonna go find these weapons." Oron said. Jasirm would blend in with the boxes and head to the hangar control center after disabling the ships alarms. Kira left the hangar bay and began her search for the Hutts. Oron used Shadow Arts to bring himself to the upper levels...

Oron reappeared with Shadow Arts behind a patrolling merc. He got the jump on the Merc and wrapped his right arm around his neck, then applied pressure and hearing a snap. Oron dragged the man to a closet then continued on. As he was walking, he could hear Mercs talking in front of a door. They were all armed and keeping an eye on the others mercs. Oron blended into the shadows and appeared in the room behind the door. This was one of the enemy weapons rooms. These were the smaller weapons, ranging from blaster pistols to rocket launchers. Looking up, he noticed a vent and used the Force to jump into the vent. Oron began crawling to where he heard more voices further along the vent.

Kira stuck to the shadows as she passed several merc checkpoints which eventually lead to the command center. She peeked inside and noticed 3 large Hutts. They were talking in their language with their own mercs standing around them and the stations crew vigorously at work. Kira noticed that the Hutts must've been arguing about something. All were screaming louder than they were. Kira took note and recorded the message on her holocam. Before she could contact Oron, a sheer breathing shivered down her back.
"Don't move," said a merc who had a pistol pointed to her back.
_________________________________
Jasirm had disabled the ships alarms after "drugging" a merc. Jasirm began making his way to the hangar control center as he rappelled up the wall, knowing that the enemy had something coming for them. They'd be kept in the fire and disoriented once the Spacetroopers arrived.
_________________________________
Oron had found the second and third weapons facilities. Both of the facilities carried mostly ship weaponry, from proton torpedo launchers and magazines to heavy turbolaser cannons. Oron was still in the vents. Continuing to crawl in the vents, he made contact with the shuttle leader.
"3 Musketeers, this is Ironman, I repeat this is Ironman. I have found the Wolf's Lair, I repeat, Wolf's Lair found. Await further orders." Oron put his comlink away and tried to make contact with Kira. He only got static. Oron sent a written message to Jasirm, telling him to notify the shuttles when to begin landing procedure. He also included where he wanted them to land.
After sending that message to Jasirm, Oron still wondered why Kira hasn't reported in. He could sense that she was in trouble and was in need of help...
In the Command Center...
Kira was thrown to the ground before the three Hutt Lords. They all looked at her with their eyebrows raised while a few of the mercs had their weapons trained on the prisoner.
"Goola, is this your merc? Why was she spying on us, huh?" the Hutt said to Goola in their native Huttese language.
"Oh please, Igor, this must be Pury's work, just like what happened on Bespin with the locals..." said the one called Goola.
"Enough of this. This is obviously not our work. None of us would hire a female to be one of our mercs. She's obviously working for someone." Pury said directing his attention to Kira, who was still breathing heavily but began calming herself."You! Who do you work for?!"
Kira remained silent. Her weapons were with the guards, so she obviously couldn't attack. Kira remained silent, which further irritated the Hutts.

Oron was right, Kira was in trouble. He had reached the rafters of the command center, where he could see Kira in front of 3 Hutts and mercs had their guns trained on her. Oron's comlink buzzed and it was Jasirm.
"Defenses disabled, Lieutenant. Awaiting orders, sir." Jasirm sent. Oron smiled then opened up a channel with the shuttles.
"It's a go, Musketeers, I repeat it's a go. Meet at our fighters location. It's a clear go."
"Roger that, Ironman. Beginning our approach now." the leader said. Oron pulled his hood over his head then dropped down from the rafters and landed in front of Kira, facing the 3 Hutts.
"What is the meaning of this? Guards, shoot this man!" Pury said. The guards immediately aimed their weapons at Oron but Oron raised his right hand, causing the guns to rip away from the grips of their owners. Oron brought the guns to him and gave one to Kira.
"You alright, Kira?" whispered Oron, keeping his eyes on the Hutts.
"I'm fine. Are the defenses disabled?" Kira whispered back.
"The troopers should be arriving right about.....now." said Oron as one of the crew members ran to one of the Hutts.
"Oh great Pury the Hutt, we have intruders on sectors G, H, and Z. Our men our being overrun. What shall we do?"
Pury growled then glared at Oron and Kira."Who are you people?" asked the Hutt. Oron understood clearly what this Hutt was asking.
"In the name of the Republic Navy, you are under arrest. Order your men to stand down now and there shall be no blood shed."
"Ugh!" growled the Hutt as he slammed his sluggish arm on a red button, activating a door. 10 Super battledroids began marching in and opened fire on Oron and Kira.
The Hutts began slugging their out of the door where the droids were entering, followed by the mercs and crew.
"Kira, go after the Hutts! I'll deal with the droids?" Oron said as he took out his lightsaber and began taking the fight to the droids. Kira watched as the last merc left the room and the doors began shutting. Kira dashed forward and skid across the floor, just making it. She saw the Hutt's fleeing but a few of the mercs got their hands on some weapons and began firing at Kira. She raised her wrist as he began returning fire.
"Jasirm, where are you?"
"In the hangar with the troopers. We're just gathering up some of the prisoners, why, what's up?"
"The Lietenant is at the command center battling some droids. I'm going after the Hutt Lords now. I need help now."
"Alright, sending Squad one to cut them off. I'll meet with you at the extraction point, Kira. Be careful."
Back in the command center...
"Don't let him escape." said one of the SBD's as they continued pouring fire on Oron. Oron shut off his lightsaber and the droids stopped their firing.
"I surrender..." said Oron as the droids began walking forward.
"Hand's up!" ordered one of the droids.
Obeying the command, Oron raised his hands. Feeling the Force flow throughout his body, he let out a storm of Force Lighting, each connecting with the droids and frying their circuits as they collapsed to the ground. Oron then used Shadow Arts to cut off the Hutts.
In the corridors of the station...
The Hutts were down to their last few mercs. Kira was catching up with them as she took down the mercs trailing behind the Hutt Lords, trying to buy them some time. As the Hutts were about to reach their secret hangar, the blast doors blasted open with Squad 1 breaching the door, their guns focused on the remaining mercs.
As the last mercs fell, Jasirm and some spacetroopers met up with Kira. The Hutts were surrounded then were once again, greeted upon by Oron who had appeared out of the shadows.
"Seems this is the end of the line." said Oron as he put his lightsaber away."This could have ended without bloodshed, but nope, you had to send in droids to do your dirty work. Take them away boys." said Oron to the Space troopers.
Oron walked up to Kira and Jasirm."Good work you two."Oron turned to the space trooper commander."The gun facilities are on this level. Secure them and search for any more mercs in the station."
"Yes sir." the trooper scampered off. Oron turned back to the two soldiers of Reaper Squadron."Once we see that the Hutt's have been taken off station, we'll head back to command. I have to contact the Admiral." Oron walked off, trying to establish connection with the RNS Bravery.

The fifteen Corvettes came out of hyperspace in three groups of five. The five Raptors along with five Blockade Runners started a patrol path around the station to provide it protection as the remaining five CR-90's docked. The crew had orders to remove everything from the facility. They were to strip the station down to the bulkheads. The lead CR-90 called out over the communication channel. “Lieutenant Oron. This is the Coffee Time. We and four other CR-90’s are docking with station with work crews. Have the prisoners placed on the Jewel, all the other ships are designated as cargo transports.

"Roger that, Coffee Time. Will comply with orders and escort you to safety when ready." said Oron in response. He, Jasirm, and Kira began walking to their fighters. Kira looked towards Oron as they boarded their fighters.
"Sir, back there...thank you. You saved my life." said Kira as she started her fighters engines.
"Don't worry about it Kira. Any time." The 3 pilots of Reaper Squadron joined up with the patrol. A few hours later, the work crew had stripped the station to the bulkheads and loaded the cargo onto the 4 CR-90's while the Hutt Lords and other prisoners were loaded onto the Jewel.
As the last trooper entered the shuttle, the Republic Task Force blasted off into hyperspace.
