Attack on a pirate station

During the Galactic Empire's bandit purges, a pirate space station was crippled by three Imperial-class Star Destroyers. The Empire then sent the Accresker Penal Legion to clear out the interior and loot the place. During the fight, Chelli Lona Aphra, Lopset Yas and Dek-Nil slipped away in an attempt to escape. Magna Tolvan attempted to pick them up when when a Force ghost intervened, leading Aphra to find an ancient Jedi starship.

Prelude
Chelli Lona Aphra successfully stole the data core of the R&D base of the Tarkin Initiative, Hivebase-1. The core went into the hands of Alliance General, Hera Syndulla. However, she encrypted the data so that after she left Syndulla and officer Bini, could not get into the data.

At the sametime, Aphra and her droid Dek-Nil were captured by Lieutenant-Inspector Magna Tolvan and held in the wreckage-prison known as Accresker Jail. There she served in the Accresker Penal Legion and during an attack on an EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate, she and Dek attempted to escape with the Changeling Lopset Yas, only to be stopped by a Force ghost who had Dek's restraining bolt take control of him.

After the battle, Aphra was interrogated by two Imperial officers who were unsuccessful in their first attempt. Yas then found a transmitter and gave it to her, knowing that she had connections with the underworld that he didn't. Aphra used it to contact Syndulla, offering the decryption code for the data core in exchange for her freedom. Syndulla contacted Sana Starros to do the job. Aphra also contacted Tolvan and convinced her to try and free her as if the Imperial officers at Accresker managed to break her in their interrogations, they may discover her connections to Tolvan.

The battle
During the Bandit purges, three Imperial-class Star Destroyers attack a pirate space station and cripple it of it's weapons. The Galactic Empire then called in the Accresker Penal Legion to storm and loot the space station instead of destroying it. The legion of convicts arrived on the Accresker Jail, which deployed them to the space station. At the sametime, Starros was waiting above in her ship, the Volt Cobra. She and Syndulla discussed the her mission to obtain the decryption code from Aphra and she stated her hatred for Aphra. She told Syndulla that if it was codes that she needed, then she only needed Aphra alive and that didn't mean in one peice. Starros then flew the Volt Cobra inbound of the imminent battle.

As the Accresker Penal Legion prepared to enter the spacestation via a bridge, they were met head on by the pirates and a large firefight broke out. Aphra, keen to escape used special Imperial authority code 6690B1 to take control of the hubdroid Dek-Nil and used him to get across the Accresker Jail. They made it to a meeting point where they met with Magna Tolvan, who was going to pick them up in a TIE Fighter. However, a Force ghost appeared and took out all of the sensor Disruptors keeping the Empire from detecting her TIE Fighter's position. The Force ghost then led Aphra to a mysterious Jedi starship that she was keen to investigate. Tolvan was not happy and demanded that she get to her ship before her position looks suspicious to the Empire. Aphra didn't listen and went to investigate it anyway.
