    Agreed.

    Marg Krim. Yeah, he could still be alive, though his personality doesn't seem quite as aggressive as Fife's, and I think there were some hints that Fife was planning an overthrow, and overall more competent than Krim. Still, nothing is known for sure yet.

    Ah, I see. Thanks.

    BESTINE VI instead of Bestine IV...hmmm...typo or new planet I wonder?

    As much as I like getting new worlds, I am kind of hoping its a typo because I have always loved bestine IV since reading the essential guide to planets and moons, and seeing it make a real appearance in story would be great.

    Personally I have a hard time imagining Vader being a stickler for regulation, especially since he so often goes outside of the imperial military to get people to do things for him.

    Though on the other hand he loves being a smartass.

    Well so much for the possibility for any interdimensional beings taking up residence on this Crseih Station.

    My thoughts:
    Very cool to see Bestine again, and it seems to kept most of its old legends lore.

    The empire is transporting the goods via an aquatic ship, rather than just landing a spaceship, even though they are sending a spaceship to reinforce the water ship. Not entirely sure why, but whatever, always cool to get more aquatic vessels in star wars.

    Two different versions of what is being transported...and both sides are liars so who knows what the truth is.

    Bonus IG-88 beating up the poor Son-Tul pride. Wonder how this will tie into the larger confrontation on Bestine.

    This guys live to suffer.

    Maybe it is a start of his own storyline that would lead to the droid revolution, mentioned in Revelations one-shot.

    Some nice backstory on Vukorah. I wasn't hot on her character when she was first introduced but Sacks has done some interesting things with her that elevate her above being a one-note antagonist.

    I have to confess I completely missed it myself at first, but now that I saw it pointed out elsewhere...that does look suspiciously like a charron behind him.

    Holy cats, you're right. My inner WEG fanboy is gonna have a blast. I wonder if they're going to go full Otherspace, or if the Charon are involved in some other context. Maybe the Death Cult is what's coming for the "metal" and then the "muddle"? Does the Fermata Cage actually open a portal to Otherspace? [face_thinking] Yeah, I'm getting quite a bit ahead of myself there, but I have fond memories of that module from back in the day so I'm going to allow myself a bit of fun speculation. And frankly I could see the writers tossing an interdimensional alien invasion onto the big pile of crazy already going on, because why not?

    Looks like we get some early confirmation - on Marvel's website the cover reads "The fate of Zuckuss -- in the Hands of the Charon!"
    https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/103052/star_wars_bounty_hunters_2020_32

    But yeah it is very curious how the Charon fit into all this. None of the comic descriptions after this one make sound like there is an extradimensional invasion going on. Indeed, even this comic's description makes it sound like the focus is on Zuckuss' past and the threat of Infero Squad, with little room for a tertiary plot.

    One possibility is that Zuckuss spirit quest type thing ends up projecting his mind into otherspace, which would be especially useful if the Charon end up playing a big role later as you speculate.

    Another possibility is that the Charon were involved in Zuckuss past - double checking the wook, while Charon access to realspace was limited until they stole a hyperdrive* they did cross over enough times to establish themselves as figures of legends and nightmares, so perhaps Zuckuss encountered one of their raids in the past.

    I also love the idea of the fermata cage going to Otherspace and thus its opening not being at all what any of the factions are expecting.

    *On that note...wonder if there might be a connection between otherspace and no-space....

    I wonder how big the charon's involvement might be. I think all this speculation is good but we might have to temper our expectations
