Legend

this was the base, located on the moon of the third planet in the M2398 system, which was marginally loyal to Warlord Zsinj. The base of the Blood Nest team was housed inside the hull of an old Super Transport VI container ship, which was also marginally flyable. Arratan and the leaders of Blood Nest were sick and tired of the raids performed by Captain Darillian and the Night Caller. The name was derived from the deep red sand of the moon's primary desert. The Blood Nest intercepted the carrier Red Feathers en route to Ession, hoping to catch Zsinj's forces by surprise. Inside her holds, the Blood Nest carried three full squadrons of X-Wing fighters from the New Republic. When the ship reported structural failure, Ession's security forces required a self-destruct. As the ship destroyed itself, the -Wings lit up their engines and matched the rate of descent of the pieces, until TIE Fighters from the Implacable chased it down. They then broke free of the debris and engaged the TIEs.
