Mutiny on theColossus

Prelude[]

Prior to theHosnian Cataclysm,^[5]Kragan Gorr'sWarbirdpirate gangregularlyraided theColossus refueling platform on the planetCastilon at the behest of theFirst Order.^[6] The First Order wanted touse the Colossus as a military supply line as part of theirinvasion ofthe galaxy.^[7]

Eventually, one pirate namedSynara San became separated from her group and was rescued by theResistancepilotsKazuda Xiono andPoe Dameron. Xiono, who resided on theColossus, help her settle into her new home. Synara was initially a spy for the pirates but came to develop bonds with theColossus residents particularly Xiono.^[8] After the First Orderoccupied theColossus, Xiono helped her to escape.^[9]

After the First Order hired the Warbirds tokidnap theColossus's leaderCaptainImanuel Doza's daughterTorra Doza, the First Order turned on their allies and staged Torra's rescue in order to convince Doza to accept their protection. As a result, the Warbirds broke their alliance with the First Order.^[10] They later helpedColossus resistance to expel the First Order and accompanied the station intospace.^[11]

Though the Warbirds helped theColossus toobtaincoaxium from the wreckedMandator IV-class Siege DreadnoughtFulminatrix^[12] andhunt ajakoosk,^[13] there were tensions between Captain Doza and the pirates. Doza regarded the pirates as untrustworthy while Kragan coveted theColossus for himself and his pirates.^[2] These tensions wereexploited by the First OrderagentNenavakasa Nalor.^[14]

The mutiny[]

Kragan's plot[]

Seeking to take over theColossus for the Warbirds, Kragan bought several oldB2-series super battle droids fromSidon Ithano, the infamous "Crimson Corsair."The absence of Kragan and several of his pirates sparked a new round of tensions with Captain Doza, who warned that his and theColossus community's patience with the pirates was wearing thin. He confined the Warbirds to theirhangar Suspecting the pirates were up to something, Doza andJarek Yeager tasked the mechanicNeeku Vozo withspying on the Warbirds.^[2]

Meanwhile, Synara, who had grown close to severalColossus residents, grew suspicious of Kragan's new shipment. Regarding her loyalties as suspect, Kragan sent Synara to theColossus marketplace to aid with food distribution. There, she met with Xiono, who expressed concerns that Neeku, Doza, and Yeager had been acting "weird lately."^[2]

After Kragan claimed that the B2 super battle droids would be use to defend theColossus, a seemingly unsuspecting Neeku agreed to help the pirates repair the damaged droids. Suspecting that Kragan was plotting something, Neeku also reprogrammed aB1-series battle droid which he nicknamed"BI" to serve as their commander. Once the droids were ready, Kragan had Neeku thrown into a makeshift cell. When Kaz and Synara went to investigate, they too were thrown into the same cell.^[2]

The droid invasion[]

Kragan, his pirates, and their new "droid army" invaded theColossus, capturing several areas including the engineering deck, corridors,turbolift, andDoza Tower. The super battle droids overwhelmed Captain Doza'ssecurity droids and caught theAce Squadron by surprise. Following a gun battle, Captain Doza and Yeager were also captured inDoza's office but not before taking out a few super battle droids.^[2]

Meanwhile, "B1" freed Neeku, Xiono, and Synara from their cell. They fought their way through the corridors, taking down several pirates includingDrell,Valik andSkreek. By the time they had reached Doza's office, they found that the pirates had captured Doza, Yeager, and4D-M1N.^[2]

Kragan intended to force Doza, Yeager, and 4D-M1N to walk off the hangar. Shortly later, Neeku and his companions arrived and challenged Kragan. Kragan ordered his battle droids to eliminate them. However, Neeku ordered "B1" to command the super battle droids to arrest all the pirates except Synara. With the battle droids under Neeku's control, the pirates' mutiny was defeated.^[2]

Aftermath[]

Following the defeat of Kragan's mutiny attempt, Synara convinced Captain Doza to let the pirates go since imprisoning them would take up the space station's limited time and resources. As a safety measure, Synara convinced Doza to confiscate their weapons, disable the pirate shipGalleon'shyperdrive and to free them in return for not coming back to theColossus. A defeated Kragan accepted the deal but was bitter towards Synara since he had raised her like a daughter. Synara countered thatexile was merciful and that her debt to him was paid.^[2]

Later, Neeku told Kaz that he had learned to be a spy from Xiono, surmising that being naive and clumsy helped trick the pirates.^[2]
