Synopsis:
THE BATTLE OF GEONOSIS
On Geonosis, Jedi Knight Jyl
Somtay, former Padawan of Lura Tranor (who was killed
during the Geonosis arena battle), is working amid the
catacombs of the planet, trying to find any leftover
enemy technology. She is working alongside Dr. Frayne,
who is supposed to be helping the Republic to find that
technology. Upon locating a stash, though, Frayne turns
on Jyl, intending to make a tidy profit on her find. She
brings in her associate, Naj Pandoor, a smuggler, whom
she quickly double-crosses. Jyl and Naj are left to fend
for themselves when they awaken from a stun blast. They
are forced to work together to find the weapon stash,
where they discover Frayne’s body. She’s been slain
by local creatures. After battling a few of those
creatures themselves, it seems that the two might make a
good team (if she doesn’t turn Naj over to the
authorities). When Naj turns on her, intending on
securing his own freedom, she knocks him out and takes
him unto custody yet again. |
