Story/Spoilers
In part #1, “Baiting the Hook”, Black Spire Outpost is a haven for smugglers, merchants and travelers from every corner of the galaxy – all looking to make the score of a lifetime on the infamous black market. War. The fall of the Republic. The rise of the Empire. Black Spire has endured. And the mysterious trader Dok-Ondar has weathered it all, thriving on the unique opportunities that abound in the lawless pockets of the galactic fringes. But a new evil rises in the galaxy, one that may threaten even Dok-Ondar and Black Spire…

While walking through the streets of Black Spire Outpost, bounty hunter Remex Io bought a Meiloorun Juice from 8D-J8. A kid ran by and tried to steal food from the Clawdite but to no avail. Remex to the kid that he would starve to death if he continued to do poorly when stealing. But at the same time a First Order shuttle came in overhead. Inside the shuttle a First Order stormtrooper sergeant told lieutenant Agnon that there are Resistance scum hiding on Batuu and that they will “smoke them out.” Back on Black Spire Outpost, Remex Io took the form of a human and joins the rest of his gang. Kendoh Voss reminds Remex that not losing their audience with Dok-Ondar. When the gang arrived at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, Dok-Ondar was displeased with their late arrival and wished to not have his time wasted any longer. Kendoh then talked about how Ondar has the greatest collection of “rare relics in the known galaxy.” At the same time fellow gang member, Wooro taped on a container that lit up with a sarlacc named Simpi inside. Kendoh’s gang all get worried, but the calm Dok-Ondar said that the sarlacc is a beauty and begins to tell the story of how the smuggler he hired retrieved it. Han Solo and his Wookiee co-pilot, Chewbacca arrived on I’vorcia Prime to collect a baby sarlacc for Dok-Ondar. Han landed the Millennium Falcon in the I’vorcia Prime Preserve and met with the galaxy’s biggest expert on sarlacc’s Doctor Genzhor. But Solo is met with Genzoh assistant, Ooris who led Han to the pits where the sarlaccs are located. During their walk to the pits, Ooris talked about a battle that took place on the planet, in which the Galactic Empire ravaged the planet’s ecosystem, but it was later turned into a nature reserve where Imperial officers hunted the exotic animals of the planet. When the group arrived at the sarlacc pits, Han Solo didn’t find them appealing to look at, but then Ooris betrayed Han and pushed him into the pits, while the Dowutin workers stunned Chewbacca, trying to get him into the pits with Han. Han landed right near a pit and shot at Ooris. Ooris told Han that he was going to take his ship and its codes to escape the planet with enough frozen sarlacc spores to make him rich. Then one of the workers fell into the pits with Han but was eaten by a baby sarlacc. Another baby sarlacc jumped out from the ground to attack the smuggler but Han used a stun stick to neutralize it. Back on the deck, Chewbacca managed to throw a Dowutin into a sarlacc pit, while getting thrown near the pits himself. Chewbacca was then attacked by a Dowutin worker, but he dodged some of his blaster fire and killed the worker with his bowcaster. Han told Chewbacca to retake the Falcon from Ooris while he fought off two baby sarlaccs at the edge of a cliff. Han dodged one of the sarlaccs causing it to fall to its death but before the other one could attack Solo, Chewbacca arrived in the Millennium Falcon to pick him up with a screaming Ooris dangling out from the ship. Back at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, Han and Chewbacca brought the sarlacc to Dok-Ondar. Ondar was reluctant to pay the Corellian smuggler and his Wookiee counterpart more then what one sarlacc is worth, but Han reassured him there was only one sarlacc that they found. Back on Batuu, Kendoh Voss told Dok-Ondar that they are in the market for something more exotic and handed a tablet over to the Ithorian. Still disguised, Remex Io placed a hidden cam droid on a table before Dok-Ondar told them all to leave. As they walked away from the antique shop, Kendoh Voss states that Ondar had taken the bait. Back at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities, Dok-Ondar’s assistant Tohago was surprised how a mysterious weapon could show up when it was thought to be lost, to which Dok-Ondar stated that they cannot allow the weapon to fall into the wrong hands.

Next in part #2, “Shoot First, Questions Later”, Black Spire Outpost is a haven for smugglers, merchants and travelers from every corner of the galaxy – all looking to make the score of a lifetime through the infamous black market. The mysterious Dok-Ondar is known far and wide as a collector and trader of only the most valuable artifacts money can buy. But a trio of outlaws are after a fabled relic that even Dok-Ondar fears…and they’ve hatched a scheme to swindle the Ithorian out of it. But with the evil First Order occupying Black Spire, time is running out to pull this difficult heist off…

In a flashback, Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was fighting with his clone trooper unit when Order 66 is activated, and the clone troopers killed the Cerean. Back to the present, a First Order stormtrooper sergeant was at Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities holding Ki-Adi-Mundi’s lightsaber and threatening Dok-Ondar. During their conversation a hidden cam droid placed there by Remex Io recorded the conversation for Remex and his fellow bounty hunters, Kendoh Voss and Wooro. Kendoh Gang had planned to heist a mysterious object from Dok-Ondar but needed the location of it. After Wooro leaves to go for a walk, Kendoh and Remex Io discuss what they would do with the credits they would earn from this heist. While discussing this, Remex Io changed his form to the First Order stormtrooper sergeant, before being told to quiet down by Kendoh. Back at Dok-Ondar’s shop the stormtrooper sergeant told Dok-Ondar to report any Resistance contact and it would be a pity to have to destroy all the relics in the shop. Dok-Ondar understood that the sergeant didn’t care much about history but told him the story of how he got his hands on Ki-Adi-Mundi’s lightsaber. On Mygeeto the Banking Clan held Ki-Adi-Mundi’s lightsaber which they viewed as a relic. Vice Chairman Anolo had hired a Givin codebreaker to crack codes needed for a war with the Hutts. As they were discussing this a shot came through the window causing it to break and for the Vice Chairman to start an evacuation of the tower in which they were in. The shot had come from the Rodian bounty hunter Greedo who was with a Kadas’sa’Nikto named Takvaa. They were sent on a mission by Jabba Desilijic Tiure to kidnap the codebreaker. Back at the tower the Givin and Anolo continued to run with some Muun guards, when they stopped, and the codebreaker noticed that the wall was thinner than the walls in Anolo’s office. Suddenly an explosion appeared with Greedo and Takvaa appearing. They opened fire on the guards but started to get overwhelmed. Greedo then used Takvaa as a shield to block against an attack, killing Takvaa in the process. Greedo then swiftly killed Anolo and dragged the Givin along with him as more guards appeared. Greedo proceeded to lock himself and the codebreaker up Anolo’s office, but time was running out as the guards started to get the door open. As the codebreaker continued to calculate their odds of success, Greedo told his other crewmates to move the rendezvous point to his location. He then grabbed Ki-Adi-Mundi’s lightsaber and proceeded to shatter the window. A grappling hook was launched from a skiff in order to get the codebreaker and Greedo across. The reluctant Givin told Greedo that the grappling line would not be able to hold his weight, but Greedo pushed him on it anyways, causing the codebreaker to fall to his death. Shortly after at Jabba’s Palace, Jabba the Hutt was very disappointed in Greedo. Greedo was on his knees pleading for his life. Right before Jabba was going to throw Greedo into the rancor pit, Dok-Ondar offered to take Ki-Adi-Mundi’s lightsaber from Greedo for double its worth to Jabba. Jabba agreed and spared Greedo before sending him out on another simpler mission. Many years later, Wooro was walking the market of Black Spire Outpost when he encountered a Wookiee standing in his way. Wooro went ahead and knock the Wookiee over before leaving, but the Wookiee came back and tried to attack Wooro and was again knocked out. But this time the Wookiee got up and hit back at Wooro. Wooro then proceeded to club the head with a BB-series astromech droid toy. Wooro reported the Wookiee to the authorities as a member of the Resistance in order to cause a distraction and get the stormtroopers to leave so they can collect a Sith artifact the next day.

Next in part #3, “Honor Among Thieves”, Black Spire Outpost is a haven for smugglers, merchants and travelers from every corner of the galaxy – all looking to make the score of a lifetime through the infamous black market. The mysterious Dok-Ondar is known far and wide as a collector and trader of only the most valuable artifacts money can buy. But a trio of outlaws is after a fabled relic that even Dok-Ondar fears…and they’ve hatched a scheme to swindle the Ithorian out of it. But with the evil First Order occupying Black Spire, time is running out to pull this difficult heist off…

A group of First Order stormtroopers were chasing Remex Io through the streets of Black Spire Outpost. While shooting at Remex as stray bullet hit a Zeltron, killing him. The stormtroopers have an arrest warrant on Remex and were told to take him in alive until Remex started to shoot back at them, killing one of them. Remex changed his form to a human sitting on the street. When asked where Remex went, he told the stormtroopers that he ran toward the spaceport. After changing back to his regular form, Remex was quickly grabbed by the throat and by Varg, Dok-Ondar’s “fixer”. Varg said he was here fixing a big problem for Dok-Ondar. Shortly after at Oga’s Cantina, Remex managed to meet up with Kendoh Voss and Wooro. Remex told Kendoh that Dok-Ondar had found out about the heist, and they must abort the plan. Kendoh told Remex that they are still going forward with the plan and walked over to a booth to go meet with a fortune teller. The fortune teller told the person in the booth behind them all about Kendoh and her gang. The person asked Kendoh to go over to him and introduced himself as the Weequay pirate, Hondo Ohnaka. Kendoh says they need a pilot who can make a run through a First Order blockade. Back at the bar, Remex was skeptical about hiring Hondo as their pilot. But Wooro told him it was all part of their ploy. At the booth, Hondo reassures Kendoh that he is the right person for the job and mentioned a job that he and Dok-Ondar took and escaped the Guardians of the Whills and escaped an Imperial blockade. At another location, Dok-Ondar is holding a recording of Hondo talking to Kendoh, and he told Hondo to just try to get Kendoh to pump information about her plan. Sometime before, Hondo Ohnaka, Dok-Ondar and Quadoro broke into the tunnels of the Temple of the Kyber to steal a statue. They were stopped by a guardian who they quickly stunned. Quadoro questioned Captain Ohnaka on why he has to be in the front, to which he was quickly gunned down by more guardians. While Hondo continued to fight the guardians, Dok-Ondar located their target and began to admire the history of it. He felt that it brought him closer to his parents. Dok-Ondar used a laser torch to break off the statue from the rest of its base, but the lasers deflected off and shot to the ceiling which caused part of the ceiling to fall and take a guardian Hondo was fighting with it. Dok-Ondar used Ki-Adi-Mundi’s lightsaber instead to break off the statue. After doing so, Hondo quickly grabbed the Ithorian and they made their way to the exit. They were stopped by another guardian, this one introduced himself as Chirrut Îmwe and refused to let them pass by. Hondo underestimated the blind man and started to shoot at him. Chirrut dodged the blaster fire and knocked out Hondo. Hondo got back up and started to duel Chirrut with his own staff. Dok-Ondar intervened and stated that this statue was a clue to figuring out the murder of his parents. Chirrut let them go and the two returned to the ship. As they left, they were spotted by an Imperial starfighter who was on patrol. Hondo started to fly toward the Star Destroyer overhead stating that the starfighters will not fire on their own ship. As he flew closer to the ship, he took off into hyperspace. Back at Oga’s Cantina, Kendoh Voss showed Hondo a tablet with a picture of the Sword of Khashyun which Kendoh’s gang wanted to get passed the First Order blockade. Hondo said that he has seen it before to which Dok-Ondar told him over an earpiece to stop answering her but Hondo continues on and talks about a person that they left behind when getting the sword. She was a well know as an archaeologist and was known to have conned Darth Vader. A long time before, Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra with her protocol droid 0-0-0 met with Hondo Ohnaka to get a ship so they could find the Sword of Khashyun.

Next in part #4, “The Betrayal of Khashyun”, Black Spire Outpost is a haven for smugglers, merchants and travelers from every corner of the galaxy–all looking to make the score of a lifetime through the infamous black market. The mysterious Dok-Ondar is known far and wide as a collector and trader of only the most valuable artifacts money can buy. But a trio of outlaws – Kendoh, Remex and Wooro are after the fabled Sword of Khashyun that even Dok-Ondar fears…and they’ve hatched a scheme to swindle the Ithorian out of it. Kendoh plans to hire pirate Hondo Ohnaka to help them escape the First Order blockade. Little does Kendoh know that Hondo is in league with Dok-Ondar. And that Dok and Hondo have some history with the sword–and with rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra!

Over Batuu a First Order assault shuttle is deployed from a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer. As the shuttle moved toward the surface of the planet a skirmish was taking place between a group of stormtroopers and two Resistance suspects. The First Order sergeant appeared from the shuttle on his 125-Z treadspeeder bike, he was annoyed with his troopers for not taking out the Resistance suspects themselves but went ahead and did it for them. The sergeant was then told that there were three more Resistance suspects marked for death. He told his fellow troopers to move out but unbeknownst to them, there was a Resistance agent listening to them nearby. At Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities Dok-Ondar was making some touches to a statue outside his store. He placed his hand on the statue and vowed to never forget his mother and father. Hondo Ohnaka then called over to Dok-Ondar with some information about the Kendoh Gang led by Kendoh Voss. Hondo labeled them as dangerous but is quickly interrupted by Dok-Ondar who ushers him inside but not before a camera picked up their conversation and playing it to Kendoh and her fellow crew members. Hondo is angry with Ondar that he didn’t tell him the Kendoh knew about the Sword of Khashyun. Dok-Ondar said that they can’t let the sword fall into the wrong hands and they will have to move it into hiding tonight. But Kendoh already has the blade of the sword and only needed the hilt. But in order to get full payment for the sword then they move forward with the heist at night. As Kendoh and Wooro leave, Remex Io stayed behind for a minute to deactivate a cam droid that was inside Dok-Ondar’s shop. Back at Dok-Ondar’s shop Hondo is getting annoyed and asked Dok-Ondar what is going on starting with the job he took to get the sword with Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra. Doctor Aphra told Dok-Ondar that it was going to be expensive because she had to worry about keeping him alive, but Ondar insisted that he was paying her more than enough. Dok-Ondar brought along three Shistavanens for the mission to provide extra muscle. Aphra and Ondar discussed the cursed sword, the history behind it and how to get it before they reached the surface of Moraband. As they began to walk through the Sith temple the doctor noted that the Sith temple was filled with booby traps. One of the Shistavanens stepped on a booby trap and a mummified Sith warrior came out of the shadows and killed the Shistavanen with its mace. Aphra threw a thermal detonator at the Sith warrior caused it to explode. Back on Dok-Ondar’s ship he and other Shistavanen are trying to get a transmission to Doctor Aphra when 0-0-0 appears. Dok-Ondar was not paying attention to the protocol droid when he pulled out blades from his fingertips. Back at the Sith temple, Doctor Aphra and her droid BT-1 about their betrayal of Dok-Ondar. The doctor then had BT-1 release his drone down a hallway but was destroyed by the lasers set off by a booby trap. The group went the other direction and after passing a few more deadly traps, they had reached their destination. The Sword of Khashyun was planted into the ground blade first in front of a mummified Dowutin Sith. Doctor Aphra claimed it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. As the Shistavanen went over to go take the sword out from its place, Doctor Aphra felt a wind coming in from deep in the temple. The Sith war beast Tuk’ata came from the shadows and started to chase the group through the hallways. In order to improve their chances of survival, BT-I tripped the Shistavanen that was with them. The hound at the Shistavanen and proceeded to fall into Aphra’s trap. As Aphra laid there on the ground complaining about a sprained ankle the war beast leaped at her but was killed by the lasers as it set off a booby trap. As Aphra and BT-1 made their way out of the Sith temple, they were stopped by Dok-Ondar who managed to dismember 0-0-0 from killing him and was now going to force Doctor Aphra into new negotiations. Back on present day Batuu, Hondo was still surprised that Dok-Ondar left Doctor Aphra on Moraband. Dok-Ondar told him that there was more to the story but was interrupted by Wooro and Kendoh Voss who had Ondar’s security droid head in her hand. Kendoh was mistaken when she assumed that Dok-Ondar was undefended when he took out his main security droid, BK-86. Kendoh was surprised to see another security droid, but Remex Io brought even more bad news when he located the First Order nearby…

Finally in part #5, “A Double-Edged Sword”, Black Spire Outpost is a haven for smugglers, merchants, and travelers from every corner of the galaxy – all looking to make the score of a lifetime through the infamous black market. The mysterious Dok-Ondar is known far and wide as a collector and trader of only the most valuable artifacts money can buy. But a trio of outlaws – Kendoh, Remex and Wooro – are after the fabled Sword of Khashyun that even Dok-Ondar fears…and they’ve hatched a scheme to swindle the Ithorian out of it. The sword is one of many artifacts tied to Dok-Ondar’s past…and to solving the mystery of his parents’ deaths. But he isn’t the only one who has a history with the sword – pirate Hondo Ohnaka and rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra are well-aware of its value. And as the Red Fury stormtroopers of the First Order close in, time is running out to escape Black Spire with or without the blade…

Stormtroopers had interrupted the encounter between Dok-Ondar and Kendoh’s Gang, the stormtrooper sergeant warned Dok-Ondar about the penalty for dealing with criminals like Kendoh Voss and her gang. He turned to her and identified her as the thief from the Bothan Museum heist. But Kendoh told him that the culprit of the heist was never found, Dok-Ondar then told her to stop antagonizing him to which the angered sergeant ordered his fellow trooper, RS-2112 to stun Wooro with a Z6 riot control baton. Kendoh threatened the sergeant if he killed Wooro, to which the sergeant reminded her who was in charge on Batuu. He told her that the First Order was on the verge of bringing peace to the galaxy after the corruption and chaos of the New Republic. Kendoh snapped back at him, but the sergeant hit her with his blaster rifle causing her to bleed at the mouth. Dok-Ondar went over to Kendoh and told her to stop what she is planning to do for the Sword of Khashyun she would end up regretting the decision. Decades earlier, Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra accompanied by her droids, 0-0-0 and BT-1 went with Dok-Ondar and three Shistavanen on a mission to Moraband in order to collect the Sword of Khashyun. During the mission, Doctor Aphra attempted to betray Dok-Ondar but failed.[5] Dok-Ondar felt that their relationship was done after that, but Aphra insisted that things could still be worked out. But the Ithorian told her that the sword was in the notes of his late father and mother. But Doctor Aphra didn’t care about Dok-Ondar’s parents and drew the sword. BT-1 caused a distraction which made the last Shistavanen fall backwards before Doctor Aphra stabbed it with the sword. Dok-Ondar pulled a blaster on Doctor Aphra who blocked the shot with the sword, but it caused her to fall back and seperate the blade of the sword from its hilt. As Dok-Ondar tried to take the blade out of the ground the droids started to reboot back to life. Dok-Ondar took the hilt instead and left Moraband, leaving Doctor Aphra and her droids stranded behind. Back to the present, Dok-Ondar remorsed that he left the blade of the sword behind. The stormtrooper sergeant turned his attention to Kendoh and threatened to take her to the torture chamber aboard the Finalizer and answer to Kylo Ren. The sergeant questioned why she and her gang are there to which she told him that they are planned to do a heist and when the plan failed, they have to improvise. She quickly grabbed the box with the blade of the sword in it and she began to sprint. When the stormtroopers started to shoot at her she grabbed the kyber statue from the planet Jedha and deflected the blaster bolts back to the stormtroopers. Dok-Ondar and Tohago hid behind BK-86 for protection and told him to initiate his defense protocols. Kendoh gave the box to Wooro and told him to make a run for it. He knocked out some stormtroopers with the box before continuing. Kendoh slid across a table and grabbed Ki-Adi-Mundi’s lightsaber, she ignited it and freed the Sarlacc Simpi from his container. Simpi launched itself at the stormtroopers and killed ZJ-7199. Kendoh made it out of Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities and got lost in the crowd. The sergeant ordered a perimeter to be set up and for search teams to find her. Back at the antique shop Varg arrived in the form of Remex Io with the blade of the Sword of Khashyun. Dok-Ondar connected the blade and the hilt bringing the sword back in one piece. Varg was worried that Kendoh’s Gang would come back but Dok-Ondar reassured him that he gave them an offer that they can’t refuse. Back at Kendoh’s ship, Remex confessed to have been impersonated by Varg. Their camera droid then played a recording of Dok-Ondar. Dok-Ondar told them that he was the one who hired them for the heist after heard that Doctor Aphra’s half of the sword had resurfaced. Dok-Ondar put enough credits in the box that Kendoh took for them to escape from the First Order who knew their location. Kendoh and her gang took off in their ship as stormtroopers started to fire on them. Although she was mad, she was set up she called it a victory to get out with their lives from this part of the Galaxy’s Edge.
