Massively delayed end of Episode

[Sorry guys! I was convinced that this entry was already done before I left to Spain... I guess I must have done it in my head, ugh. Now things are quite sketchy, so I'm probably just going to skim and focus on the most important parts]

- After the whole mess on Ziost, Orion had a confesion to make to the group, he is actually an old Havoc Squad veteran, the squad had been dissolved when budget cuts started hacking Republic Military apart.
- Orion shared his thoughts, with their friend gone, they needed more help to bring the situation under control, as it seemed way bigger than them. He suggested a bold plan, to put Havoc Squad back together.
- Jan agreed with the plan, being familiar with the old Republic Military organization (and confirming some suspicion he had on Orion).
- Making a long story short, the team visited Orion's team second in command in Cerea, where he had settled down to have a family (which is required by Cerean law, amusingly enough). He told them of the whereabouts of their commander, and told them that he'd try to help from the ground should the need arise, but that his family needed him.
- Meanwhile, CR-0, realizing the threat of the Mando's was not going anywhere, decided to follow his assassination protocols and do a little solo run. He struck a deal with the moderate Kander chief, and agreed to destroy his rival, setting up a trap for him in his space station.
- Things did not work as planned, however, he failed to destroy the Mando one on one, though he did make his droids destroy his guards, and had to retreat to the stations innards. This did not dissuade CR-0 however, who flooded the station with deadly radiation, damaging it somewhat, but completely slaughtering the Mando's. His sense of pride was damaged though, and stayed alone in the station for the reminded of the adventure...
- Jad and Orion flew to the very end of the Galaxy, to the far away and secluded Kathol Sector. There, after following some leads and hitching a ride with a weird spacer, arrived in the planet Captain Jobus now called home.
- The reunion was not a happy one, however. Captain Jobus shared with Orion that he knew, or at least suspected, that the civil war might have been coming. However, because of tiredness, fear or simply self induced obliviousness, he had not warned anyone (not knowing who he could trust) and fled to far away, becoming a shell of the man he once was. Orion's words inspired him though, and this, together with his own guilt, convinced him to return to the Galaxy, to prepare Havoc Squad and maybe help return some peace it.
