In the neon-drenched haze of Nar Shaddaa, the Smuggler’s Moon, you have a reputation for getting the job done, no matter the cost. Working for the infamous Mandalorian Clan Vizsla, you have been tasked with retrieving a stolen holo-record that contains sensitive information that could shift the balance of power between Clan Fero and Vizsla.

As you track the holo-record through the chaotic streets and shadowy alleys of the underworld, you unexpectedly encounter your ex-lover, Alex Ren, now a cunning bounty hunter with their own agenda. Alex has been hired to find the same holo-recording, but they harbor secrets that could turn the mission deadly. As you navigate your fraught history with Alex, you struggle to determine whether your ex-lover is a potential ally or a dangerous distraction.

Complicating matters is Drek Talon, a ruthless enforcer from Clan Fero with a vendetta against both you and Alex. Drek will stop at nothing to reclaim the holo-record, viewing it as a means to establish his Clan’s dominance over Vizsla and settle old scores. As you become embroiled in a game of cat and mouse, you must grapple with your past with Alex while racing against time to uncover the truth about the stolen data.

With the thread of betrayal looming and the streets of Nar Shaddaa closing in around you, can you and Alex find common ground to survive, or will your past ultimately tear you apart for good.
