Journeying Mercies
As the war drags on in the Outer Rim, Republic aligned planets become desperate for medical supplies. After several caravans were attacked by the Sith Fleet, the Republic attempted a different approach. Trying to secret one medical ship carrying vital medical supplies and a legion of medical volunteers to aid these war-torn worlds, they hoped that they could send aid to these planets. Even if there weren't significant supplies, the arrival of this aid would symbolically demonstrate the Republic's commitment to its territories.
Unfortunately, few secrets remain so, and Lord Callidus, notorious underworld kingpin and Sith Lord, has caught wind of this mission. He decided he would handle this himself, hiring an assortment of criminals and mercenaries. They lie in ambush, ready to deny the Republic of even this small, symbolic victory.
These two forces are set to collide. Desperate Republic worlds lie in the balance...

Callidus Aligned Participants:
- Lord Callidus - A Sith Lord and the leader of this expedition, he brings with him several squadrons of mercenaries. His flagship for this mission is a starship [designation to be determined] called the Krayt Star.
- Daeira - An outside mercenary brought in. She is the commander of Callidus' personal mercenary escort. The escort is comprised of an elite and nasty horde of Trandoshan mercenaries.
- Kyle Orvast - Hired pirate captain, at the head of a frigate. Paid by Callidus but a Republic sympathizer.
- Virgil - A Sith warrior serving in Callidus' ambushing force.
Callidus' Fleet
1x Krayt Star - A Dromund Class Cruiser, lightly armed but carries a large compliment of starfighters and soldiers on board. The Flagship of Callidus' patchwork fleet.(50 Starfighters)
1x Kyle's Frigate
3x x3 Captured Foray-Class Frigates, "Winds of Ziost", "Dark Irony", "Republic's Folly"
Callidus' Forces
The Black Claw - An elite Trandoshan mercenary company. They are known for their ruthless efficiency. They form the bulk of Callidus' ground forces. (500 Trandoshans)
Callidus' Akk Dogs - A vicious pack of Akk Dogs kept by Callidus as part of his personal retinue. As Force Sensitive species, long term exposure to the Dark Side corruption of Callidus and Korriban has twisted these creatures into dark, merciless killers.

Republic Convoy Aligned Participants:
- Captain Vrew Nuquay (NPC) - Sullustan Commander of the Republic Ship, Republic's Mercy. He is a overly cautious, conflict weary being. He was shaken after seeing a few battles with the Sith and was thus reassigned to more civilian missions.
- Reiko Shae - Jedi Knight tasked with protecting the convoy.
- Dan Firestar - Jedi Knight tasked with protecting the convoy.
- Tyriel - Jedi High Council Member tasked with protecting the convoy.
- Col. Kip Dol (NPC) - Col. Dol is young and ambitious. He has risen through the ranks miraculously during the war. Jealous superiors assigned him to protect convoys in an effort to stunt his career. He is blunt and pragmatic, ready to shoot first and ask questions later. This is the officer in command of the Republic Marines attached to the convoy.

x1 Hammerhead-Class Cruisers, "Hammer" (12 Starfighters)
x3 Foray-Class Frigates, "Light of the Republic", "Starslip", "Nebulous"
