Private Warriors by Creed

[Minerva Fhirdiad]

Mos Enbarr, Tatooine, Arkanis Sector, Outer Rim Territories​

Standing on the edge of a roof of a large shop Minerva without her helmet looked out in the high noon of the twin suns. A half smile formed on her face. Been here a few times over the years but I never get tired of this view. Thought the young warrior.

Suppressing a sigh Minerva put on her helmet. It was time to carry out her purpose here.

Miles away to the north was a fortress style estate owned by her target, an Ishi Tib criminal boss named Vus Radreff. Squeezing her fists she scowled. “Not only does the scum help traffic Mandalorian artifacts in the blackmarket but actually flaunts his own collection.” The very thought boiled her blood and now she is going to make the glorified thief pay for his arrogance.

Of course Vus had a small private army of mercs and security droids at his estate. That is why she is going for an unconventional approach. While speeders and ships flew over with engines whining, Minerva stepped inside a brown hovertruck that she had bought off from a Quarren used dealer hours ago. Activating the truck Minerva flew off the rooftop and straight for her destination. At first the truck maintained normal speed for several minutes but as it drew closer she slammed down the throttle.

At full speed the truck drove toward the eastern section of the estate and violently crashed through a large window. Metal screeched and sparks flew as the craft battered through and Minerva held on for dear life. A moment later the truck abruptly stopped nearly throwing the young Mandalorian off. Heart pounding Minerva let out a sigh of relief before getting up and drawing her blaster rifle.

“Time to roll.”

Said the warrior with defiant amusement and went into the back of the truck. Meanwhile outside in what was the lounge area, fire alarms blared as a dozen mercenaries wearing green matching uniforms stormed inside from the entrance. Their leader, a female Weequay armed with a scatterblaster then commanded.

“Spread out boys and secure the area. The boss says kill whoever is inside there if they’re alive, whether this is an accident or not.”

Subsequently, thick gray smoke burst out from the crashed speeder as its backdoor opened, covering the room and causing the building’s sprinkler system to activate. The mercs swear and groan as the water rains down as they struggle to see. Then a shadowy figure rolled into their midst and fired one shot point blank range in the commander’s stomach. Utter mayhem ensued with multiple blaster shots flashed and cries rang out in the devastated room.

Never before had Vus Radreff been in the presences of nobility, sure had a lot of rich clients but none of them were Hapan Nobles. What a Hapan wanted with Mandalorian artifacts, he had no idea, but little did he care. Yet had he done even a little research beyond a cursory one he might have dug deep enough to release this Hapan Noble was in fact a Mandalorian. Granted in her current state she did not look like one out of her armor. Sometimes a bounty required a different approach her Noble Status could get her closer to the target then her Mandalorian one.


Vus Radreff was acting ever the cordial business wanting to make a sale. He had not yet presented the merchandise though having instead offered Ky a seat and some tea. It was bad etiquette to jump straight into business with such a distinguished guest as a Hapan Noble. There was a little small talk about her trip to Tatooine a world Ky really did not care much for. It was so far removed from what one could even call civilized and far from the life she had grown up in on Ut. After which he was about to lead into her interest in Mandalorian artifacts.


However, before anything could be said there was a loud calamity that penetrated the walls of Vus Radreff compound. It was no small thing as some of Vus Radreff’s militia ran into the room and they relayed that someone had penetrated the outer walls. He began to bark orders his demeanor of gentleman quickly shift one of furious crime boss with a ruthless streak. He demanded that whom ever did this weather accident or on purpose be killed as an example.


All of this went on as Ky sat there one of his guards not taking eyes off her. This was turning into a real crap show, she had come into this with a plan. She was going to wait for Vus Radreff to let his guard down, playing him into her web. That Plan was gone now as everyone in the compound was on high alert. Ky head was no think over a revised plan of attack as she was out of her armor and only had a hold blaster on her thigh.


“Frak” The redhead muttered under breath she really hoped this was an accident and not some planned attack. If it was a planned attack she knew well eyes would fall on her even though she had no idea what the hell was happening right now.
