Raid on the Vermillion

The raid on the Vermillion was a mission undertaken, in 3 ABY, by the crew of the bounty hunter T'onga to rescue Cadeliah, the heir to both the Unbroken Clan and Mourner's Wail Syndicate, from Crimson Dawn. The crew hired the bounty hunter Dengar to lead them to the Dawn's flagship, the Vermillion, where Cadeliah was being held captive, though unbeknownst to the crew, Dengar was actually aligned with Crimson Dawn and had infiltrated the crew to lead them into a trap. Dengar took the crew to Nal Hutta, where the Vermillion had traveled to rendezvous with its agents. After they made their way aboard the ship after Dengar had created a distraction, he informed T'onga and her crew that they would find Cadeliah in the brig and directed them to a turbolift before he left.

As the crew went up the lift, they began to realize that Dengar had been lying and were ambushed by a group of Crimson Dawn soldiers as they exited the lift, though they were able to defeat them. After the soldiers had been dealt with, the Knights of Ren, a group of dark side Force-users who were aligned with Crimson Dawn arrived to kill the crew.

The crew didn't know who the warriors were at first but Zuckuss had an uneasy feeling about them, which Ren ignored since the Knights of Ren needed someone to take out their aggression. Upon hearing the Knights of Ren, Bossk, who have heard of their legend of their wrath, open fire on his attackers but go injured by Massif and along with Cardo, the two disarmed the crew damaging 4-LOM in the process but he was saved by Zuckuss. T'onga threw several blades at Massif's blasters, destroying them in the process but Ren almost killed her but Tasu Leech intervened using his beskar-laced blades against Ren's lightsaber. Bossk wrestled with Cardo, but grew tired fighting him and threw Cardo onto Marinda. As Vicrul fights Zuckuss and 4-LOM, the Gran manage to hold the Knight off until he uses his scythe to cut his breaking mask but Zuckuss manage to defeat Vicrul and toss Leech his scythe to defend himself against Ren. With the group loosing, they opted to leave with 4-LOM closing the doors but Bossk and Zuckuss had to drag Leech away.
