Battle At Gavos Storm Barrier

The battle at the Gavos storm barrier takes place in Episode 3 : As The Wheel Turns, a short distance from the Gavos Oridium Mine.

After defeating and driving off The New Droids' Rights Movement in a battle back at the mine, The FIFT have to race off in the Krayt Fang to try and stop the destruction of the storm barrier generator system that protects the mine from the harsh storms and winds of Gavos.

The New Droids' Rights Movement sent one of their own, an Arakyd Searcher 2050 Exploration Droid, called 'Lookout' by those living at the mine, to destroy the storm barrier generators using a cloud car. Lookout managed to destroy a number of the generators, a fact that was being broadcast to The FIFT via the loudspeaker system within the mine throughout their investigation of the mine and the subsequent battle with the droids. When The FIFT head out to engage him, the barrier is close to failure, with only a single generator needing to be destroyed before the entire barrier falls.

The FIFT manage to catch up to Lookout, thanks to some fine piloting by John Smith, and engage the cloud car in a chase to the generator. John manages to get the Krayt Fang into range and, using the brand new weapons that The FIFT had just purchased in Klatooine, Drezek Androktaz is able to fire off a shot that brings the cloud car, and Lookout, down, saving the mine from destruction.

Unfortunately for The FIFT, the new weaponry must have been installed incorrectly, as that shot also caused extensive damage to the new weaponry, eventually requiring fairly expensive repairs to get it fully operational again.
