Sometime earlier, Agent Amus and the Bounty Hunter Djina on enroute to Borgo Prime...

Of all the scum-ridden places in the galaxy, Borgo Prime was probably on the top of the list. At least my list. I had sworn I’d never return to this forsaken place. Recent events dictated otherwise, and I was in no position to disagree with a direct order from Lord Hassat. He knew of my connection to Borgo, and was quite clear that he wanted me to look into this.

Shippings had stopped, and our contacts had gone silent. I was sent to Borgo Prime to reestablish our relationship.

Since Reaper Squad was still rebuilding, I had hired a local to set up a meeting. For some reason Djina’s spirit seemed the exact opposite of mine. The closer we got to Borgo Prime, the lighter she felt. On the final approach, she seemed almost giddy. I knew something was off.

After landing, we made our way to Krulo Town. The section of Borgo Prime, where Krulo the Hutt had his first headquarters. After taking control of Borgo Prime, Krulo had since taken residence in the fancier part of the rock. Fancy by Borgo standards at least. For some reason the meeting was set in the old maintenance district, where they process incoming and outgoing cargo. I was almost certain I was walking into a trap, so my mission had to be improvised.

We approached an old venting shaft, with a massive hole in the side. The place was crawling with Krulo’s enforcers, and security forces I didn’t recognize. We went inside, and the towering Hutt was already waiting for us. Djina walked up next to the Hutt and whispered something. She looked almost proud. Then she took her place at his side. She wasn’t subtle. She had sold me out.

The Hutt's mouth widened into a smile, as he leaned back.

“Chobaso mah bukee, chobaso banki danko.”
*translated from Huttese: Welcome my boy, welcome home.

He was pushing all of my buttons, and I had to pick my words carefully. Most of all I just wanted to put a blaster bolt between his eyes. The audacity.

“Let’s drop the pleasantries Krulo. I see you’ve made some new friends. How do you think this makes us feel?”

“Bu kacmahea doth banieie. Tee-tocky che uba bai moova mee bai Krulo”
*translated from Huttese: The Empire is dead. Time for you to return to Krulo.

Krulo’s men seemed on edge. He knew that this would not end the way either of us wanted. Krulo didn’t offer a choice. I could join him or die.

“It seems I cannot change your mind. I will let my master know that Borgo Prime no longer supports our cause.”

I knew it while I said it. These could be my last words.

The Hutt chuckled, and looked past me. I felt screaming pain to the back of my head, and everything went black.

This was one of those builds that start with some table-scaps, gets out of hand, and evolves from there. I knew I wanted to do a vent thing, inspired by Ordo Eris from JEDI: Fallen Order, and I knew I wanted to incorporate the UniStar logo somehow. It basically grew from there.

Below are some additional photos, and inspirational sources. Thanks for reading and watching.

Krulo the Hutt and some of his workers (slaves), and enforcers.

A couple of prospectors probably in the market for old mining equipment. Djina and Amus, and a couple of UniStar Enforcers left on Borgo Prime to ensure the new partnership with the Krulo the Hutt.
