They bit down hard. Real hard. Sent a pack of \u201celite\u201d hired guns to storm a prison they figured was lightly watched.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Aliit S\u2019badai pulled the reins on coordinating our clans, setting every piece where it needed to be. Scouts in the shadows. Rifles in the dirt. Helmets pointed at every door those mercs could\u2019ve dreamed of using.<br \/>\nBy the time Son-Tuul\u2019s finest got within spitting distance, the fight was already over. Some fell quickly. The rest tossed their weapons and begged for a capture instead of a burial.<\/p>\n<p>Can\u2019t blame \u2019em. Pride\u2019s been sending folk into meat grinders lately.<\/p>\n<p>Those we caught talked fast. Faster than the barrels cooled.<br \/>\nThey pointed us toward a handler, \u00a0a little rat named Draavek Holth, who tried to sprint out of the city like he\u2019d forgotten we own jetpacks. S\u2019badai trackers scooped him up before he hit the outskirts.<\/p>\n<p>Under questioning, he swore up and down he wasn\u2019t the one who started this. Said he was just the middleman.<br \/>\nThen he whispered a name like it burned to say it:<\/p>\n<p>Thorpe<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all he gave. No location. No motive. No plan.<br \/>\nJust a name dropped in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>Good enough for me.<\/p>\n<p>We swept the streets, rooftops, alleys, and scrub beyond the city.<br \/>\nDidn\u2019t find a trace of Thorpe. Didn\u2019t catch so much as a shadow of Son-Tuul.<br \/>\nIf they\u2019re hiding, they\u2019re hiding deep \u2014 and if they\u2019re running, they ain\u2019t looking back.<\/p>\n<p>As for the survivors:<\/p>\n<p>Those wanted by other governments have already been shipped to the folks who\u2019ve been waiting to hang \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>Those under death sentence were delivered to the planets, promising to finish the job.<\/p>\n<p>Those with cleaner records stay in Mandalorian hands until we decide what they truly are.<\/p>\n<p>\nSon-Tuul hasn\u2019t said a word. Not a denial. Not a defense.<br \/>\nMaybe they\u2019re embarrassed. Maybe they\u2019re lost.<br \/>\nMaybe they finally realized they don\u2019t understand what a coordinated Mandalorian Aliit looks like.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"News-Report\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/rB4ua4o.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/gallery\/news-report-vbluo32#rB4ua4o\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/gallery\/news-report-vbluo32#rB4ua4o\">Aliit S\u2019badai gave the only public remark needed:<\/p>\n<p><em>We didn\u2019t chase them.
