Hello! Im introducing some bounty hunters now... have any ideas for more, don't be afraid to review, or something.

Tigracc exited lightspeed and first noticed the capital planet of the Wajmotob, and thought it looked exactly like the Eyenroh capitol. As he went closer to the surface though, he saw that the spice mines, the main area of income for most empires, were mining yellow spice instead of red.
Then a hologram of a Wajmotob officer switched on. The Wajmotob looked like Tigracc, apart that he had four arms, and looked stronger, too. The Wajmotob growled "Hey! No unauthorized personnel! Prepare to be anniilated!"
"No! Wait!" objected Tigracc. "I come in peace, sent from the Eyenroh!"
The Wajmotob's attitude changed immideatly. "The Eyenroh? Why didn't you say so! Oh, you can totally land now, and sorry about the whole annihilated thing. Protocol."
Tigracc did his best to look understanding as he neared the planets surface.

Zarkhator sat watching the gang intently. There were seven in all, three being Eyenroh, the other three Wajmotob. The leader was the most interesting though, and looked like nothing the emperor had seen before.
He was a big, black and red creature, with spikes all over his body. His head was like a reptiles, though looked as if made of obsidian. He had big fangs, and his red eyes glowed bright.
Zarkhator began saying "So you are Suinort?"
Suinort nodded, "Yeah. But cut the chatter, I was told you have a job to do, and that it pays well."
"Mmm-hm. It's simple really, you land on the Eyenroh capital planet, and destroy their spice mines. And by destroy, I mean so they can never be repaired. Got it?"
"And the payment is?"
"200,000 sporebucks. And I just might let you become a Commander, if you do well. And I noticed that your gang is a little small, so I'm lending you a few elite Grox."
"Consider it done... boss."

Tigracc took an instant liking to the Wajtomob. They were incredibly modest, giving, and nice. They stuffed him with the best and most rare foods in all the galaxy, and wouldn't take no for an answer.
Eventually though, Tigracc couldn't eat any more, and decided that talking about the alliance should start.
"Sooo..." spoke Tigracc. "I'm kind of here to offer an alliance, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Wajmotob Lord, known as Smararof, was immedietly shaking Tigracc's hand saying "!!!!!"
Tigracc managed to break free, and said "Don't worry, we just thought that since the Eyenroh know you so much you would make amazing allies."
"Oh of course! And if you want to make more alliances, you should make one with the Daednuor Empire. Their good friends with the Eyenroh."

It was night, and the capital city of the Eyenroh was quite. So no one noticed the truck-like spaceship land.
It was big, rectangular, and yellow. A Wajmotob mercenary was driving, with Suinort sitting at the passenger seat.
The yellow craft parked just at the outskirts of the city. The passengers stepped out, an odd jumble of Eyenroh, Wajmotob, and Grox. Each one was a either a proffessional mercenary, assassin, or bounty hunter. Suinort hefted a big club, which acted like a giant tazer.
The small group slowly proceeded to the yellow spice factory. It was closed for the night, and the usually active drills were off.
The bounty hunters though, were not there to examine the structure. They then spread out all over, around, in, (and a few even went under) the factory.
When they were done, the entire biulding was glowing from the red lights of the explosives.
Suinort gestured for everyone to file into the truck-ship. After the rest of his gang were inside, he tapped a button on the controls on his wrist.
The explosion was so huge, the ground actually shook. As the city beban to wake after the tremor, Suinort sprinted to his ship.
A few Eyenroh exited the nearest biulding, armed with lasers. But the culprits were well under way, lost in the darkness.

"Make your report," growled Zarkhator.
Xalcath gulped as he recalled the past events. "Sire, the bounty hunters destroyed the spice factory at the Eyenroh capitol, and are planning to attack the mines as well. We've also finished biulding the energy generators, and they have been installed in this very city. Would you like for the two starships you wanted built now?"
"No. I've come up with a better plan. Do you think that if a space station was biult orbiting the Eyenroh sun, that it would be detected by the Eyenroh?"
"Not without a jamming signal."
"Excellent. Begin the construction of such a station immideatly."

Tigracc was just about to enter lightspeed again when he got a transmission from the Eyenroh. Switching the hologram on, he watched as Lord Ragnort came into view.
"Tigracc," began Ragnort. "I'm sorry to disturb you on your diplomatic mission, but it appears that we have some space pirates wrecking havoc on the capital."
"Space pirates?" asked Tigracc.
"Indeed. Not everyone is devoted to their empire you know, and a few have chosen a life of crime. But I suspect something broader is occuring... instead of just pillaging the spice mines, they decided to simply destroy the spice mine. Why they would do that I don't know, but I believe that they wont stop at the spice mines. They have retreated for now, but they will probably return. Do you have any ideas?"
"Of course. Post guards on all of the spice mines, and all of they major biuldings at the capital. I will arrive shortly to assist in the ambush. Oh, did you finish biulding the energy shields?"
"Biult and installed. We're currently mining resources to biuld the droid factory as well."
Tigracc nodded and turned off the hologram, and entered lightspeed.

Suinort and his gang approached the metal mine carefully. Ducking behind a boulder, Suinort eyed the one Eyenroh guard professionally. Taking out a pistol he quickly fired a blast right between the eyes. Only after the body slumped to the ground did the assassin step out of his cover. Nodding to his band he entered the mine, with his followers carrying tons of explosives.

The Grox miners and their equipment had quickly gathered enough of the metal to begin the station. As the construction progressed, they would mine the other metals.
Zarkhator walked towards his dropship, flanked by many armed Grox. As he entered the ship, his cruel, malicious mind was contemplating more devious plans to wrench planets from other Empires.

Tigracc exited lightspeed and a transmittion immideitly came on the screen of the ship. Lord Ragnort face appeared and said "Tigracc! We've lost communications with the guard at the metal mine. We believe that that's where the bounty hunters are going to strike. What should we do?"
Tigracc sighed. "Send as many men as you can muster to the mine. I'll be there as soon as possible." He then flew the ship to the mine.
When he got there he saw two bunty hunters at the entrance, both Grox. He fired the weapons and killed one of the Grox instantly. The other rolled out of the way, taking out a lazer pistol. He fired repeatedly at Tigracc's ship until one of the wings burst into flame, the ship crashing into the ground. The Grox decided to not check if the pilot had survived, and fled into the mine to report to Suinort.
Tigracc crouched behind the ruined spacecraft, thinking it would be best to wait for reinforcements before charging the mine.
As for Suinort, he was in the center of the metal mine, planting explosives along with the rest of his gang. He turned when a panting Grox approached.
"S-sir!" gasped the Grox. "A ship came... saw us... shot the other guard... I shot the ship... whatta we do?"
Suinort was an experienced fighter, and had been in fixes much tighter than this one. "Tell everyone to stop what they're doing now, and charge the explosives already planted. We must leave the city before Eyenroh reinforcements arrive..."
As he said his orders, a group of about 75 Eyenroh approached Tigracc. The Eyenroh Captain bowed to the orange warrior, and said "We wait at your command."
Tigracc pulled himself to his feet, groaning "Charge the mine! Try to get as many prisoners as possible!"
That was when the gang of mercenaries charged out of the mine, led by Suinort. The Eyenroh were taken totally by surprise, but quickly got over it, and began firing at the bounty hunters.
Then there was a mighty explosion, and the mine was totally ripped apart. Suinort had finished the job, and the mine was destroyed.
Suinort and four gang members crashed through the ranks of Eyenroh, and fled. The Eyenroh did not give chase, for their attention was focused on the remaining five mercenaries, who were so tightly surrounded that they had no hope of escape.
When the battle ended, Tigracc pulled the Eyenroh Captain to him and pointed to a small dust cloud in the distance. "See that? Six of that gang escaped. It's time to show them that we do not forget things easily."
The Captain nodded and called for three dropships to be armed for combat.
That chapter is now done. hooray!
