Kaz is broke, which is bad not just because he can’t buy his own drinks at Aunt Z’s, but because he can’t afford to repair Tam’s compensator, which he accidentally broke during installation. He overhears of a bounty offered for finding two missing children from Tehar and sets about trying to look for them on the platform, though he hasn’t thought far enough ahead to ask himself why the First Order would offer a reward for two lost children. He bumps into them more by chance than by skill, and discovers that they’re runaways who don’t want to return to Tehar. They just escaped that planet after witnessing the actions of a high-ranking member of the First Order who calls himself Kylo Ren. When the First Order arrives in force to search for the children, Kaz and Neeku risk everything to find them a safe hiding place.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Yeager wakes Kaz up painfully early, supposedly for a salvage mission (though Tam notes that there isn’t a salvage mission on the itinerary). But the real mission is very different: an upper-atmosphere rendezvous with Poe Dameron, who has brought a second X-Wing for Kaz to fly. En route to a nearby asteroid field, they discuss the intelligence Kaz has gathered on the Colossus station until they receive a distress call from a ship inside the field. They discover a cargo freighter that has recently been raided by pirates, with one pirate ship still docked; neither ship is in very good shape. Once aboard, Poe and Kaz discover that there was some kind of live cargo, and it has broken out…and begun eating pirates and crew indiscriminately. They find a survivor who has hidden inside a cargo container and race to get her off the ship and back to the Colossus before they become the next meal. But who is Synara San?

Cast: Christopher Sean (Kazuda Xiono), Scott Lawrence (Jarek Yeager), Suzie McGrath (Tam Ryvora), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), Dave Filoni (Kowakians), David Acord (Kowakians), Gary Anthony Williams (Kragan Gorr), Jonathan Lipow (Pirate #2), Matthew Wood (Kowakians), Nazneen Contractor (Synara San), Stephen Stanton (Pirate #1)

Notes: Among the very unpleasant possibilities of what the escaped live cargo could be, Poe lists Rathtars (The Force Awakens) and Gundarks (The Empire Strikes Back). He’s quite unprepared for a ship full of Kowakian monkey-lizards, a creature that has been seen before in Star Wars lore (in the form of Return Of The Jedi‘s Salacious Crumb).

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Yeager is tasked with repairing the Colossus station’s turbolaser cannon targeting systems by Captain Doza. Kaz and Tam are assigned to find a specialized, military-grade part…and Neeku is assigned to keep his mouth shut about any of it. With pirate attacks on the rise, the station’s ability to defend itself is of prime important to Doza, especially as he fights to keep Colossus from having to agree to “help” from the First Order. Kaz lucks out in acquiring the part needed from Synara San, the scavenger that he and Poe recently rescued from a freighter that had been attacked by pirates. But the repairs to the targeting systems are still underway when the next pirate raid occurs. How did they know that the station happened to be defenseless?
