==Plot summary==
[[Koro Shimti]] is doing the guard on the transport ''[[Naboo Grassland]]'' when [[Sakrask pirates|a group of pirates]] boards it. Koro and his friend [[Haldo]] immediately [[Skirmish aboard the Naboo Grassland|try to repulse the attack]], killing some Trandoshan pirates until they arrive to the command bridge. There, Haldo sacrifices himself, killing with him the pirate reinforcements before they manage to shoot Koro. The soldier instead, once arrived in the bridge, finds a Duros pirate aiming to the ''Naboo Grassland'' captain, [[Izidor]]. Koro kills the enemy, saving so his commander, and asking help to the Naboo he managed to save the ship.

After the skirmish, Koro travels to Coruscant, where he talks with the Triumvir Druson. The admiral, using the informations given by Koro, realizes that under the last pirate raids there is a Duros plot. So Druson founds a team, the [[Cloak Squad]], which has the task of investigate on Duros about this possible conspiracy. 

Meanwhile, [[Sakrask]], the leader of the pirates who attacked the ''Naboo Grassland'', is aboard the [[Nestoman pirates]]' headquarter, the cruiser ''[[Black Iron]]''. There, the Trandoshan pirate asks [[Nestoman]] to join his gang, due to the losses caused by the last boarding. But while speaking a communications from Malastare arrives in the ship, and after a request by one of his captains, Nestoman heads to the planet to rescue his men being pursued by Triumvirate's frigates. However, this happening has been anticipated by Sakrask, who had learned about the presence of two [[CF100 frigate]]s in Malastare system thanks to an information broker, [[Ala Kraan]].
