The story was also included in the [[Del Rey]] printing of ''[[Republic Commando: Triple Zero]]'' though not in the UK and Australia, where ''[[Triple Zero]]'' was published under the [[Orbit (imprint)|Orbit]] imprint. It takes place in [[22 BBY/Legends|22 BBY]]. ==Publisher's summary== ''A group of terrorists has taken a [[Senator/Legends|senator]] hostage on [[Coruscant/Legends|Coruscant]], and it's up to a crack team of [[Clone commando/Legends|clone commandos]] to defuse the dangerous situation.'' ==Plot summary== On [[Coruscant/Legends|Coruscant]], [[Omega Squad]] is sent to a [[Spaceport/Legends|spaceport]] where a group of [[Terrorist/Legends|terrorists]] from [[Haruun Kal/Legends|Haruun Kal]] is keeping hostages. The terrorists demand that the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Republic]] leave their [[Planet/Legends|planet]] so they can stay out of the [[Clone Wars/Legends|war]], or they will kill the hostages with explosives. [[Null-class Advanced Recon Commando|Null ARC]] trooper [[Ordo Skirata|N-11 Ordo]], [[Kal Skirata]], and a [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]] arrive, and the Jedi enters the room with the terrorists to negotiate. The squad, watching video from a camera the Jedi smuggled in, mentally catalogue the terrorists based on the colors of their clothing: green, gray, tan and dark brown. The terrorists kill the Jedi and throw out his body with a bomb attached to it. [[Fi Skirata|Fi]] jumps on top of the bomb before it can detonate, shielding the [[Coruscant Security Force/Legends|police]] with his armor. Luckily the armor protects him too and he is regarded as a hero for saving the men and gains Ordo's respect. The squad then begins the attack. Ordo covers the roof as [[Darman Skirata|Darman]] sets explosives to destroy the door that protects the terrorists. Fi then throws some [[Flash-bang grenade|flash bangs]] in to stun the terrorists and upon entering shoots the green one in the chest. Atin takes out the gray one out and Darman and Niner take out the dark brown one. But the terrorists had switched the clothes of a hostage with the tan one and only by shielding the hostage does Skirata keep Fi from shooting. Then Ordo sees the one in the hostage's clothing with a gun and kills him. Later they learn that the hostage who had been framed was an important executive for the [[Corporate Sector Authority/Legends|Corporate Sector Authority]], an organization with a lot of money and armaments, and that the terrorists were trying to get the hostage shot so that the Corporate Sector would side with the [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Confederacy of Independent Systems]]. All the hostages are rescued, including the executive and a Senator who was the bait to attack the terrorists. ==Appearances== {{App |characters= [[File:OmegaSquad-TargetsPrelimart SWI81.jpg|thumb|150px|Preliminary artwork.]] *[[Berin B'naian]] {{Mo}} *[[Dovel]] {{1st}} *[[Vun Merett Jai]] {{Mo}} *[[Kaim]] {{1st}} *[[Cira Larutur]] {{1st}} *[[Joz Larutur]] {{1st}} *[[N'zaet Nir]] {{1st}} *[[Ordo Skirata|Null-11]] "Ordo" *[[Nuriin-Ar]] {{1st}} *[[Jaller Obrim]] {{1st}} *[[Mar Rugeyan]] {{1st}} *[[Darman Skirata|RC-1136]] "Darman" *[[Niner Skirata|RC-1309]] "Niner" *[[RC-3222]] "Atin" *[[Fi Skirata|RC-8015]] "Fi" *[[Kal Skirata]] *[[Meena Tills/Legends|Meena Tills]] {{Mo}} *[[Walon Vau]] {{Mo}} |creatures= *[[Odupiendo/Legends|Odupiendo]] |events= *[[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]] **[[Galactic City spaceport hostage siege]] {{1st}} **[[Mission to Qiilura]] {{Mo}} |locations= *[[Corporate Sector/Legends|Corporate Sector]] {{Mo}} *[[Coruscant/Legends|Coruscant]] **[[Galactic City/Legends|Galactic City]] ***[[Galactic City Spaceport]] *[[Garqi/Legends|Garqi]] {{Mo}} *[[Haruun Kal/Legends|Haruun Kal]] {{Mo}} *[[Mayro]] {{Mo}} *[[Dac|Mon Calamari]] {{Mo}} *[[Qiilura]] {{Mo}} |organizations= *[[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Confederacy of Independent Systems]] {{Mo}} **[[Trade Federation/Legends|Trade Federation]] {{Mo}} *[[Corporate Sector Authority/Legends|Corporate Sector Authority]] {{Mo}} *[[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]] **[[Coruscant Security Force/Legends|Coruscant Security Force]] **[[Grand Army of the Republic/Legends|Grand Army of the Republic]] ***[[Null-class Advanced Recon Commando]] ***[[Omega Squad]] **[[Republic Defense Procurement office]] {{1st}} **[[Senate Guard/Legends|Senate Guard]] **[[Senate Head of Public Affairs]] {{1st}} **[[Senate Security Committee]] {{1st}} **[[Senator/Legends|Senator]] *[[HoloNet News/Legends|HoloNet News]] |species= *[[Garqian]] *[[Gurlanin]] {{Mo}} *[[Human/Legends|Human]] **[[Korun]]nai *[[Mon Calamari/Legends|Mon Calamari]] *[[Twi'lek/Legends|Twi'lek]] |vehicles= *[[Armored Assault Tank/Legends|Trade Federation Tank]] {{Mo}} *[[Cloud car/Legends|Cloud car]] *[[Variable Altitude Assault Transport/enforcement|VAAT/e]] (police assault ship) |technology= *[[Armor/Legends|Armor]] **[[Katarn-class commando armor]] (Mark III) *[[Comlink/Legends|Comlink]] *[[DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System/Legends|DC-17m Interchangeable Weapon System]] *[[Electromagnetic pulse grenade]] *[[Flash-bang grenade]] *[[Flimsiplast/Legends|Flimsiplast]] *[[Hearing enhancer]] *[[Hologram/Legends|Hologram]] *[[Hovercam]] *[[Strip-cam]] *[[Verpine shatter gun]] |miscellanea= *[[Caf/Legends|Caf]] *[[Eidetic memory/Legends|Eidetic memory]] *[[Kama/Legends|Kama]] *[[Mando'a/Legends|Mando'a]] *[[Skylane/Legends|Skylane]] *[[Warra nut]]s {{Mo}} }} ==Behind the scenes== In this story, the Corporate Sector is abbreviated "CorSec", which typically refers to the [[Corellian Security Force]].
