Episode III: Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb

While on Vineer Handler Nine briefs Cell 9 on a mission to sabotage and destroy an Imperial munitions factory on Kuat. Provide the group with footprint of the facility, as well as information on the location of a mine entrance that should lead under the facility. A Swoop Gang has been known to use the area as an initiation test, with the swoops jumping the outer wall and navigating the dense forest. Handler Nine also arranges for Borf!, a toydarian, to drop off a 3 part bomb for Cell 9 to assemble and plant under the facility to destroy it.

The group attempts to take a modified speeder bike with all three members on board, but the bike stalls just below the wall and start to crash back to the ground. Castor jumps off the bike and lands ontop of the wall, where he can lower a rope down to Coryn and Faleer, while fighting off a small patrol of storm troopers. Once all three are over the wall they hurry into the forest, where they are pursued continually by stormstrooper patrols. The group eventually makes it to the mine entrance and climbs down inside, choosing to descend into the mine without attempting to reactivate the power generators.

Once at the bottom, they use a recovered map of the tunnels to navigate towards the facility. They are forced to overcome the natural obstacles of the tunnels, including climbing and dangerous creatures. Confident they finally reached the tunnels directly below the manufacturing facility they armed the bomb, taking care to give themselves enough time to escape the blast radius, and made their escape. When they exited the mine back into the forest, they were ambushed by stormtroopers and very nearly defeated the rebels. Barely concisous, they group took the trooper's swoops and successfully jumped the outer wall to complete their escape.

The bomb detonated as planned, collapsing a large part of the facility.
