Tatooine Network Base
Built far off in the desert, this base is a lot like Anchorhead, except for the fact that the entirety of it is walled and has thousands of Auto-turrets surrounding it. Only those with official business are permitted entrance to the rogue spaceport. If not, those interested are to report to the smaller base placed inside Anchorhead, where The Network works on hunting, mining, and various other actions. The projects within the walled base, however, are a closely guarded secret. It is within the walled base that the Tatooine Boss lives.

Four swoop bikes stop on the outskits of the Network Base. All of the figures lept off their bikes and begain to look at the base, there numbers consisted of a male Rodian with two pistols on each side, a female zabrak with an large sniper rifle, a gamoran with a repeating blaster rifle the size of a man, and the fourth, seemingly the leader of the group was decked in tan painted mandalorian armor, with a customized rifle, but a primitive Tusken Raider club on his back, making it obvious this was the bounty hunter Serven Orlo.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Scout out the place, the Hutts aren't going to like this new busniess opening up in Tatioone."[/glow] hissed Serven,
[glow=red,2,300]"Works for me, Serven, remeber to keep your transmitter open so we can communicate any information to you, some of Nargata's thugs are around to help ambush anyone that comes in or out, where you able to get the Tusken Raiders you promised?"[/glow] asked the Rodian as he and Serven's other companions mounted their swoop bikes.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Yes, but there arriving later, they'd kill you too, they don't like outsiders. Luckily for us, this base happens to be on their land."[/glow] said Serven as the others went off into the distance.
[glow=gold,2,300]"So, now we see just what type of busniess goes on here..."[/glow] muttered Serven, checking his datapad to make sure the credits had reached his account.

OOC:(I've got to go now, but I'll reply IC soon, but I just thought you should know that The Network is technically fifteen years old, and it controls the Hutts. Just check up on Vyaaetu's Bio page. It's under the Fringe. So the Hutts have no real say in the matter, though, if you would like, your hutt character can be a separate party, or If you wish, a crime lord under control of The Network.)

OOC: Nargata would be more of a indepent crime lord, over-confident, cowardly but with a small army of bounty hunters, smugglers, assassins and worse under his pay-roll, who is trying to get more of the thing he loves the most, power and money. So, he would obviously try to changle the Network's dominance.

OOC:( I just wanted you to understand that it is not a "new business" Carry on, then)
IC: The large base loomed ominously, made even more curious by the simple and undeniable fact that nothing happened. No sound came out of the spaceport, no ships came in or out, and no sign was given to hint that there was anyone or anything within the walls.

[glow=red,2,300]"You think there expecting us? Things seem far to quite around here, Tatioone isn't as popular as Courscant but nothing, not evena whisper."[/glow] said the Rodian Bounty Hunter
[glow=green,2,300]"Don't know, only one way to find out."[/glow] said the Zabark as they reached the outside of the base, just far enough not to be seen.
The Zabark slowly removed a large cannon like object from her swoop and put it together on the hot desert sand. Once complete, the weapon looked something like a large pipe, wordlessly the zabark put several of her grenades into the large, pipe like weapon. Ten minitues later, the weapon let out a loud booming sound and fourteen explosive grenades struck the base, each exploding on impack.
Meanwhile.....
Serven spoke in his native tounge to the Tusken Raider warriors, informing them to kill anyone out of the base, and that outher outlanders would assist in the erradication of this base, although no tears would be made if they where killed too.
After the commands Serven mounted his swoop bike and took off several miles to where his ship, the Hydra rested.
[glow=silver,2,300]"Question: Sir, why are you not at the battle, I was informed that you where going to aid Nargata's Thugs and the Tusken Raiders in the destruction of this base, Master."[/glow] said the Assassin droid too Serven as he was loading the swoop bike onto the Hydra.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Somethings off, either it's empty or they know where comming, either way this is pointless, I doubt a Network base could be destroyed so easily."[/glow] said Serven as the ship closed.
[glow=silver,2,300]"Statement: Roger Roger, our astromech droids have fixed the damage done to the ship by the Selkath, Master."[/glow] said the Assassin Droid, walking to the co-pilot chair, several astromech droids moving around him as he walked.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Lets head to Courscant ourselves, if the attack was a sucess I'll say I was going to tell Nargata the news in person, if it isn't I'll say I returned to protect him from any possible Network assassins."[/glow] said Serven, removing his helmet as the Hydra begain to take off from it's make-shift landing pad.
[glow=silver,2,300]"Response: Setting course for Courscant, however ever since the Regency took over Nargata does not have the power he once did. I suggest you turn of my battle and assassination systems and set me only to protocal to dismiss any possible arrest, Master."[/glow] said the assassin droid.
[glow=gold,2,300]"Very well, MAD, lets just take off, I don't like being in the open desert ever since that Krayt dragon tried to use my last ship as a chew toy."[/glow] muttered Serven as the ship took off into space.

The grenades exploded on contact with... not the wall of the base. The grenades exploded upon contact with an invisiable wall of vibrations designed to detonate incedniary weapons of just this type.
Meanwhile, in a circle with a radius of one mile and the center at the Base, the sands of the desert world slightly shifted...

The sand people quickly yelled out, noticing the slight change of the sand,
[glow=green,2,300]"What the hell are they getting worked up about?"[/glow] asked one of the Mercenaries as they begain to set up for the second shot,
[glow=tan,2,300]"They always yelping and crying, like some werid Kath Hand pup. Just ingore it."[/glow] said the Trandoshan mercenary, loading his weapon,

Before the trandoshan had finished, a sandstorm, convieniently isolated only to a kiometer radius around the base, broke out. Within seconds, one could see no further than an inch in front of their face, the sand was so thick. And one could only see at all if thier eyes were covered, for, if they were not, the sand would quickly tear the eyeballs to shreds.

The Tusken Raiders, more then use to Sand Storms didn't even flinch, the Thugs on the otherhand begain to panic and run, trying to escape the massaive and sudden storm that had suddenly engulfed them.

(not much for a reaction... but alright)
The sandstorm subsided and, once it had, the thugs and the raiders found that the Network base was not to be seen. The reasons for this "dissappearing" base were varied. Perhaps it was because the base was now underground. Perhaps it was because the thugs had, in the duration of the sandstorm, been swept thirty or so kilometers to the west. Or perhaps it was simply that many of them had, due to the sandstorm, lost their vision.

The sandpeople moved to the where the base once stood, hitting the ground with their gaffi sticks and looking, oddly enough, for tracks that the base might have left while moving, however either way it was now off their land, for the moment, now their attention turned their attention to the blinded thugs.
The Tusken Raiders brought their gaffi sticks down upon the head of the Maraudering thugs with the fury of beasts, easily smashing their skulls in as they tried to run away, but the sand had destroyed most of their eyes. Soon the last thug droped dead, his blood and brains displayed upon the sand, leaving an omen to all who enter their land. With that they begain to scavange their weapons, armor and vehicles, setting up a small camp where the base once was, to see if they would find it once again.
