Raid on the Jedi Temple (Avian Hunt)

"We could pretend we're pirates and bombard the temple and steal [the Force-sensitive bacteria sample], if that's our other option."

- Radar Spectros

The Raid on the Jedi Temple was an attack on Coruscant by the earliest incarnation of the 1337 N00B5, the first of many battles they would fight.

Pre-battle
When Kaffman, his assistant, and Radar Spectros uncovered a Sith Holocron on Korriban, dated too recently to be one of the Sith of the past, Kaffman resolved that they were the only possible undertakers of the task of destroying the new Sith. In order to learn more about the Sith, Radar proposed they obtain a Force-sensitive bacteria sample, such as those studied in the Jedi Temple by the Healers. After several plans to obtain it legally were abandoned, Kaffman eventually concluded that Radar's joke proposal that they air-raid the Jedi Temple would be the best way to steal it.

Kaffman and Spectros were in possession of four ships in total: three Eta-2 Actis-class interceptors, courtesy of Radar's father, who worked for Kuat Systems Engineering, and a Ferrier-class rescue shuttle, which was the property of the University of Corellia, for which they worked. To assist them in the raid and to formulate a battle plan, Kaffman enlisted the help of Ilmar Grmek, a Mon Calamari tactician whose aspiring position had been occupied by the approval of the Clone Army. Grmek's weather analyst droid, PK-10, was used to pilot the rescue shuttle and update tactical information for the makeshift gang.

First approach
The Eta-2s and Ferrier shuttle blended in with Coruscant's busy sky traffic as they approached the Jedi Temple. When they got close enough, they broke off from the traffic and flew straight at the Temple. The Jedi, caught off guard, were unable to scramble their fighters as the gang destroyed the hangar and jammed their communications. In the confusion, Kaffman disembarked his fighter, leaving his astromech droid to pilot it back to safety, as he headed through the evacuating crowd to the Temple's science lab. Some Jedi quickly escaped the rescue shuttle's communications jammer and contacted the Republica Sheriff, requesting automated PCBU units to intercept and destroy the pirates that had destroyed the Temple hangar.

Blood Karvers attack
Soon after the police force sent their droid police cruisers to deal with the Eta-2s that had attacked the Temple, the Blood Karvers, led by Jett Worrap, attacked the Bank of Coruscant in T-36 Airspeeders, taking advantage of the distracted police to seize the treasure in the Bank's vaults. However, this mission was doomed to failure because of poor planning. The Sheriff of Republica, worrying that the newly-formed CIS could attack the Bank, had installed anti-aircraft turrets around the Bank. Jett Worrap was shot down by these turrets, and the rest of the gang broke off and retreated.

The 1337 N00B5 observed this from a distance as they fought the incoming PCBUs.

A Jedi arrives
Anakin Skywalker, who was with his wife in 500 Republica when the Blood Karvers attacked the Bank, learned of the attack and embarked his Delta-7 Aethersprite-class starfighter to deal with the pirates. He quickly caught up with the Blood Karvers and started destroying their airspeeders one by one in record-breaking time. Each of the Blood Karvers ejected from their speeders before they exploded, much to the annoyance of Anakin.

Radar Spectros and Ilmar Grmek, sure that Anakin would come after them next, made a hasty retreat to ionize the district's power generator, hoping to make their escape along their choice escape route through a trench.

Fighting the occasional police droid on the way, Grmek and Spectros ionized the power generator while Skywalker finished off the last of the Blood Karvers' airspeeders. Skywalker finally made contact with the Republica Sheriff and learned that the Eta-2s he had mistaken for friendlies were actually more pirates.

Meanwhile, Kaffman, who had just recovered the bacteria sample he was after, encountered Mace Windu, who was taking charge of the Temple evacuation. Mace soon figured out that Kaffman was one of the pirates who had attacked the Temple, but Kaffman, through careful persuasion, inadvertently caused Mace to see a vision that would not allow him to capture Kaffman. Reluctantly, Master Windu let Kaffman go.

Enlisting help
"I expect in a second the police will have you. If you take my job, you will be able to escape..."

- Kaffman

PK-10 then lifted the communications jammer to allow Kaffman to broadcast on an open frequency. Kaffman contacted the droid and told him to contact the pirates that had been shot down by Anakin Skywalker. Because they were broadcasting on an open frequency, Kaffman decided to switch to 1337, a hacker's code commonly found in the Outer Rim, not realizing the Blood Karvers had invented the code. After persuading the Blood Karvers to join their gang, Kaffman sent PK-10 to pick up the pirates.

Meanwhile, Radar and Ilmar split up to get around the approaching Skywalker and rendezvous back at the Jedi Temple.

Escaping into orbit
Peekay Ten, carrying the Blood Karvers in the rescue shuttle, returned to the Jedi Temple to retrieve Kaffman. The Blood Karvers stormed the Temple hangar and Grmek blasted a hole in the debris blocking the hangar to allow the Blood Karvers to escape in some of the Jedi fighters. Kaffman was returned to his Eta-2, which had been parked in the low levels a few blocks away, and they all went into full retreat.

Anakin Skywalker soon caught up with them, but Grmek ordered one of the automated Blood Karver freighters to fall back and distract Anakin. The move stalled the Jedi only for a matter of seconds, but it was long enough for the gang to make their getaway into space.

Aftermath
Mace Windu contacted Anakin in his fighter as he was restarting his pursuit, telling Anakin to return to the Temple to assist in the cleanup. Anakin protested, but Mace informed him that an Acclamator-class Assault Ship was poised to intercept the pirates.

No deaths were known to the 1337 N00B5, though it was learned a couple years later that they had inadvertently injured the child Jayo Cho-Leem, among others.
