Bastion Flight 107

"I want this starship fully fueled. If I do not see a fuel speeder in position and functioning in the next five minutes, you will be responsible for a great many deaths."

- Hijackers to Coruscant Space Traffic Control.

Seven humans of the Pirates of the Confederacy hijacked Bastion Flight 107. Showing that they had an explosive device in the lead hijacker's carry-on bag that he could detonate using a remote control. After the flight landed on Yavin, the leader demanded refuelment so that they could go to Coruscant.

When they landed on Coruscant, they demanded for a televised news conference to promote their new political movement for the unification of galaxy, advocating more systems to secede from the Empire.

In truth, the hijacking was a diversion to distract the Empire as Confederate Special Forces launched a rescue of their President, Cole Kroger, who had been previously exchanged for captured Jack Sparrow, the Pirates' Commander and Chief.

The hijackings successfully distracted Imperial forces until the Pirates received words that Operation Showdown was a success. During the night, the passengers were released and the pirates slipped into the night, rejoining Sparrow and Kroger with the Brethren Court.
