Things get weirder...

[Sorry for the massive delay on this guys, I've been busy with work and now I'm ill at home :(]

After our heroes boarded the small space station, they wandered it looking for clues. The station was of Duro manufacture, rarely breaking a standardized mold.
Quin noticed that the power flowing through the station seemed to be drained at some points, but just with the force he couldn't make out on what or where.

Further investigation showed that computers had been hacked so they wouldn't notice this power drain on the system reports.

After finding the room that housed the cargo "net" and it's drop-out point, the heroes concluded that here was were part of the power was being redirected. They also found something very weird, the room had a mechanism to activate several blast-panels usually found on chemical labs or any other place were you might need cover from explosions as a safety precaution.

After tampering with a panel under which they assumed (correctly) the power was being drained, they were surprised to find a battle droid of mandalorian manufacture under it. Several more panels flipped open in an alert and they had to fight for their lives.

After a long and tough fight the droids were destroyed, and the heroes free to snoop again. In the battle it became obvious that whoever had installed the droids had also installed the blast panels as a precaution... who? No idea, that was an open question for the moment.

After some more snooping and hacking Jan was able to isolate in the computer were the lightsaber parts were being sent, and with this information our heroes left the station, making a small stop in the Skyhook to buy a medical droid, seeing as things were getting more dangerous.

One more side to the conflict!

[Again, quick overview from the events in the game to keep track of them]

Tssarik got an invite for the big duelling league, sponsored by Gorka's not-so-illegal front business, and thus had to leave the party to chase his dreams.

As our protagonists returned to the Unshaken Resolve (Jan's ship)they met Nargoth, a huge togorian with a Mando armor. He told them that Red Scythe and his elders had ordered him to "keep the jedi alive". While not exactly a peoples person, the party accepted his help and decided to keep on with the plan.

After investigating were the meeting with the mysterious person that had contacted them was supposed to take place, the party moved there in their speeder getting ready for anything.

Inside the warehouse in the storage sector of the space port, which is mostly manned by droids, the party separated and took positions hiding among the crates and shelves, while Quin approached the figure in the middle of the building. The figure turned up to be a male human on his late 30s, dressed in a Republic Military uniform, he identified himself as Captain Adrian, and told Quin that he had suspicions that somebody, maybe up to the Coronel of the System himself, might be funnelling military equipment from the Army to some unknown third party. He handed him a datapad with all the data he had recovered (which they later discovered proved his suspicions), however, at that point they were attacked.
The attackers dressed in grey and black, with their faces covered with hoods and masks, and they wielded eerie lightsabers with a black-ish blade.

Fortunately for our heroes they weren't really that good and after their cover was blown and they lost the help of the shadows they were quickly dispatched.

The heroes searched the bodies of their assailants and found little of interest except for the lightsabers, which seemed to be mass produced, and a sub-dermal communicator on the neck of one of them.

They couldn't do much with both at the time, so they moved back to the Resolve, saying farewell to the Captain.

At the resolve Jan built a makeshift signal tracker plugged to the subdermal communicator to try and track it's signal should it emit again.

Meanwhile, the rest of the party devised a plan to use the mass-produced lightsaber to their advantage, they would hack the FPSs servers that feed the Authority with the multitude of trading manifests that go through the system and would search for whomever is buying lightsaber components en-masse.

Den, using a dataspike supplied by Nargoth and with a bug programmed by Jan, would sneak into the FPSs servers and plug the dataspike in a computer with an admin login, and they would then search the database for their target.

Suffice to say, it worked, Den moved like a shadow inside the building and got the bug into their systems. Jan had then no problem in reducing their target to a small docking station in locked orbit over Nao-Sang.

The party infiltrated the station flying close to a superfreighters engine, hiding his signal on the shadow of the bigger ship, and the adventure ended with our heroes getting ready to board the station.
