Omega Squad: Targets This is a short story by Karen Traviss that first appeared in ''Star Wars Insider'' issue # 81. But also appeared in the end of the book Star Wars Republic Commandos: Triple Zero. It describes a mission on Coruscant in which a gang from the planet Haruun Kal is keeping hostages in a space port and demands that the Republic leave their planet so they can stay out of the war or else they will kill the hostages with explosives which turn out to be fakes. The main charecters are squad Omega RC-1309 Niner, RC-1136 Darman, RC-8015 Fi and RC-3222 Atin. A jedi comes to negotiate the surender but only gets killed and the body thrown out with a bomb attached to it. This is when Fi jumps ontop of the bomb and shields the police with his armor. Luckily the armor protects him too and he is regarded as saving the men and gains the respect of N-11 Null ARC trooper Ordo. This is also when the charecter Skirata enters. Skirata is the man responsible for training some of the Republic Commandos including all of Omega except for Atin. The squad after watching the video captured by a camera on the Jedi figured out that the terrorists would be in colored coded clothes green, gray, tan and dark brown. The sqaud then begins the attack. N-11 ordo covers the roof as Darman sets explosives to destroy the door that protects the terrorists. Then Fi throws some flash bangs in to stun the terrorists and upon entering shoots the green one in the chest. Atin took 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 man and only buy shielding the hostage does Skirata keep Fi from shooting. Then Ordo seeing one the one in the hostages clothing with a gun kills him. Later it was discovered that the hostage who had been framed was an importaint man in CorSec people with alot of money and armaments. And that the terrorists were trying to get the hostage shot because then CorSec would have sided with the CIS when they found out that the Republic had shot one of thier executives when the threat of bombs were fake. All the hostages are rescued including a Senator who was the bait to attack the terrorists and CorSec did not loose an executive. |
