The Pirate Freighter shook violently in the Lokian Orbit, as it sustained a barrage of fire from Imperial Fighters. Gurg sat in his quarters staring out the window, watching the battle, and sighing. His dimly lit room was in the rear of the ship, towards the escape pods, if the alarm to abandon ship was given, he would be one of the first ones out.

He didn't bother getting up to help the crew, because he had forgotten everything he learned about ships when he was searching for the rogue android Jarvon, his search was unsuccessful, and he did not even know if Jarvon was dead or alive. The enlisting of pirates on his search was reluctant, because he didn't want to have anyone around him. His secret passion for creating droids, and his plans for a so-called "Droid army" failed, due to his own stupidity and incompetance. He realized a 15 year old leading an army was just stupid.

During his search, he was detained for a small amount of time in an Imperial Prison for getting in a scuffle with a local Imperial occupation. Seeing the Imperials again reminded him of an old Imperial he knew only as "Baldy". He also made a side trip to Geonosis, to look up any artifacts from the Clone Wars, specifically for one squad, and one member.

Gurg studied everything while he was gone, except for combat with his "light stick" as he called it. Combat didn't pique his interest as much as the Force itself, and controlling it. Throwing people through walls, choking them, making their mind tear itself apart from insanity, was more his interest. He didn't want to kill people, he wanted to manipulate them, and make them suffer.

He wondered how all his old friends were, specifically his old Master, he craved to learn more from him, more techniques, it was like a spice addiction. Suddenly the alarm blared, and a large chunk of the bow was blown off. Gurg didn't care much if it was time to evacuate or not, he walked into the escape pods, and punched it.

The re-entry was definitly hard, as the pod crashed down into the Lokian sand, and Gurg was knocked unconscious, the pod pieces scattered across the surface, it probably wouldn't be long before stumbled along on his unconscious self.
