Chapter 12: The Tibanna Pirates
"Your career as a Commander is off to a good start Jango." Said the Captain of the Huntress "Commander Mereel would have been proud..." He finished.
"What's our next assignment Captain?" Jango asked.
The Captain looked at him for a moment then said "Well, there's some slight problems with a mining station at Bespin. Recently, space pirates boarded the station and have been taking any Tibanna gas that is produced there for their ships."
Jango looked at him strangely "Why hasn't the Republic done anything?"
"Are you forgetting Jango? The Republic doesn't have an army, it's people like us who do the dirty work. Anyway the head of the station managed to send a distress call, we're the closest people who can do something so, we're going to do something if you give the orders."
Jango looked at the Captain thinking for a few moments "Very well, let's get everyone ready; let's liberate this station."
***
The Mandalorian army stood in the briefing room ready to take orders from their new Commander. Jango looked onto the crowd with Verok behind him seeing if everyone was there, after finishing he began "We have recieved a distress call from a mining station at Bespin, they're requesting help from any military force close enough to intercept. This mission is not going to be easy, some of you will have to stay behind to guard the ship while some of you will be boarding the station to eliminate pirates. We don't know if anyone else recieved this call, but if we manage to push off the attackers we may recieve an appropriate award for our time."
Verok walked forward then spoke to the warriors "We have to be prepared for the worst. We don't know what ships these pirates have but expect Z-95 Headhunters in the fray of their fleet compliment. If they do have starfighters we should be able to take them down easily enough, it's any starships that pose the more significant threat, though I've seen the Huntress survive many fierce space battles so I doubt they will be able to take her down."
As Verok finished Jango began again "I've split you all into two groups, Blade group will board the station which is the group I'm a part of, Avenger group will stay behind on the ship in case any boarding parties arrive, Verok will be one of these people. The list behind me will tell you what group you are a member of. We'll be boarding the station through the roof, now if everyone is ready; let's take down these pirates." The warriors cheered and everyone began preparing.
As the Huntress began to enter hyperspace, Jango knew this mission would be far more dangerous than the last...
***
About three Mandalorian transports left the Huntress' hangar, the smaller Mandalorian ships launched nothing. Several pirate ships were already enroute to engage the Huntress. Jango looked out the window of his Relic praying that the Huntress would survive the assault. He returned to piloting the ship, the skies of Bespin were a pinkish red and had many clouds, while piloting he remembered the first time Jaster showed him the inside of this transport.
***
An eleven year old Jango stood in the small Relic class transport looking around the cockpit. 'So, this is Jaster's ship, not much...' Jango thought to himself.
Jaster appeared in the doorway behind the observing Jango. "She may not look like much Jango, but this ship has survived a lot of firefights." Jaster said smiling at the curious boy.
"Why didn't you use it when we went after the smugglers?" Jango asked.
"I didn't want to risk being detected, the transport we used is not well known on Coruscant, making it a better choice than this ship, which has been seen by many."
"Are you going to show me how to fly it some day Jaster?"
Jaster laughed then said "Of course Jango, in fact this is probably the transport I'll pilot most of the time when we go out on missions."
***
Jango returned to the present and realized that he was not far from the mining station docking platform. He gently landed the Relic and the transports behind him did the same. Jango stepped out of the Relic and onto the landing platform, he watched the Mandalore transports open up and the warriors run out. Jango looked at them then shouted "Alright, we'll split up; kill anyone who shoots back, they are most likely pirates if they do." The army saluted in response and the attack began. All of the Mandalores except Jango activated their jetpacks and flew up to windows, breaking the windows they entered the building.
Jango deciding not to make a big entrance just walked casually through the front door holding his two blaster pistols. Listening he heard blaster shots in the distance, the battle has begun. Jango ran around a corner and just dodged a blaster bolt, he fired back with one blaster killing the pirate. Another pirate snuck around the corner and fired at Jango, Jango somersalted to the side dodging the blaster bolt, and from the ground he fired both blasters hitting the pirate in the chest twice. Another one appeared around the corner, Jango jetpacked forward and when he landed activated his flamethrower, the pirate was caught in the flame and began running around screaming before falling on the cold metal floor still aflame. Jango slipped around the corner and fired a few shots at a couple waiting pirates.
Jango quickly ran up a flight of stairs and ended up in the primary Tibanna mining pump area. A few workers looked up to see the silver armored Mandalore and surprised looks spreaded across their faces. Jango, ignoring the workers noticed pirates storm in on an upper catwalk, he aimed up and fired causing two to fall down, both fell into a stationary Tibanna canister. The others began firing at Jango, he activated his jetpack while shooting. He hit one of the pirates and they fell down into another Tibanna canister leaving two more pirates. Jango landed on the catwalk and shot one of the last pirates, the other dropped his blaster in shock. Jango walked over to him and picked him up by his shirt. Jango looked at him through his helmet and said "Pirate scum..." then threw him off the catwalk and into a Tibanna canister.
Jango noticed the entrance to the station's primary office and walked torwards it, the door swooshed open and he walked in. There was one pirate in here with a female Twi'lek who looked like the head of the station. "So, you're one of those guys whose been causing trouble around here!" The pirate snarled.
"I could say the same about you." Jango coldly said looking at the pirate. The pirate leader glared at Jango angrily and raised his blaster and fired at him. Jango somersalted to the side and fired a blaster shot at the pirate hitting him in the stomach. The pirate fell onto his knees letting out a cry of pain. Jango shot him again this time in the head and the pirate fell to the ground silenced.
The Twi'Lek who was a light green and had a tentacle around the side of her head looked shocked, she looked at Jango "How can I thank you for all of this, sir?"
"A reward in Republic credits is good enough, and maybe you could fill up our ship." Jango said casually then walked out the door. The female Twi'Lek just nodded in agreement and looked down to the dead pirate leader.
***
Aboard the Huntress Jango sat in his room when Verok walked in "Not bad Jango, a few thousend credits and Tibanna gas to fuel our ships." Verok looked at Jango who was sitting on his bed looking like he was thinking. Verok continued "Jaster would be proud you know..."
Jango looked up to Verok snapping out of his trance and said "I know." Verok smiled and saluted then left the room. Jango went back to thinking about the future, and his deterimination to live up to Jaster, Jaster's father, and all Commanders before them. Jango laid down straight on his bed and gazed sideways out a window into the stars, they would be leaving the Bespin system soon.
A good three years passed, Jango; now twenty one has been called the greatest Commander ever to lead the Mandalore clan, even Verok agreed to this. Jango gaining a sense of accomplishment for succeeding in his goal began to slowly relax, though he doubts the Jedi have given up looking for them, they could not have been that desperate considering or they would have found him and the clan many years ago...

A large brown bird shaped ship flew over Coruscant and in it sat a cold hearted killer. The man looked down at his computer screen, he pressed a button and a female computer voice said "Hefor Kerl, sex male, last seen Coruscant, wanted for multiple shop thefts and murders, wanted dead or alive, five thousend credits alive, twenty five hundred dead."
The man moved closer to the computer screen a bit, the white haired Montross looked down at the computer screen and clenching his fist he began to chuckle. "I think I'll go for dead... After we discuss a certain matter..." he said in his deep voice then drove his ship torwards the urban planet.
