Episode 3.09: Escape Velocity, Chapter 8
The ships Night Sparrow and Sun Spear lift off from Yonbuss, setting a course for the Chalcedon system alongside the Imperial frigate, Chimera. Aboard, Jedi Vanya Ysadora, the Mentat Kit-Kat, and Sir Davish Tam work to maintain the fragile alliance within their rag-tag convoy. Attempts to contact their friends on Chalcedon are met with unsettling silence.
They have stopped along the route at Tolla Archive Library Station in orbit around the serene world of Bunduki, a planet in the Pacanth Reach in the Outer Rim. Homeworld of an order of scholars called the Sedja, and birthplace of Teras Kasi. But the peaceful world and its Library Station are not all that they seem. Dangerous secrets lie buried there.
Little to the heroes know, dark forces at the Library already conspire to enact the evil will of Sargon Xan Daran. If this plan succeeds, it would extend the Dark Lord’s power. Granting him not only greater reach, but perhaps mastery over aspects of life and death itself…

After leaving Yonbiss with the surviving members of the Crimson Knights, the heroes are escorting the frigate Sun Spear and the Imperial frigate Chimera. This is all part of an uneasy alliance to deliver the digital being, Commissar Celestime, to the nearest member of the Grand Archive organization of library stations that scattered across the galaxy.
But there looms the decision of what to do about the Sun Spear and its world destroying weapon. Lieutenant Felderk Jessip wants to take the Sun Spear back to the Katana fleet for Sargon Xan Daran. But the heroes want the frigate out of Xan Daran’s hands, if not destroyed.
