A hidden rebel cell, a world far from the prying eyes of the Empire, and a spy who wants nothing but to destroy the Rebellion.  This is the first exciting adventure in The Moon Swing Chronicles campaign.  Follow the first adventure of the Helkio Rebel Cell containing Lieutenant Daurek Lennison, and Privates Tanlee Jandaloo, Troy Hasulak, and Karahaa as they are rescued by a young smuggler named Ledala Korewa and her companion, a notorious bounty hunter named Gan Jan-Ru.  Follow them from the start as they make their way to join the ranks of the Rebel Alliance to become Mission Group Alpha, code named Thermal Force. 

After arriving at the "Home" Fleet, the members of Mission Group Alpha are called upon by Fakir Sector Command to escort a crate of credits to the space station of Kween in the distant Arkanis Sector.  During the mission however, the members of Mission Group Alpha are sucked into a plot to murder the long thought dead Old Republic Admiral - Adar Talon.  The plot takes the members of Mission Group Alpha to the desert world of Tatooine where they will race against the imminent arrival of an Imperial Star Destroyer, and where they will come face to face with the most notorious bounty hunters in the galaxy. 

After rescuing the Old Republic Admiral Adar Talon, the members of Mission Group Alpha are called upon to recover a shipment of supplies which have been deposited into the oceans of Spira.  But as the members of Mission Group Alpha meet their contact, they soon discover that the only way to recover them is to take part in an annual boat race called - The Spira Regatta.  During the race, not only will the members of Mission Group Alpha come face to face with the son of an Imperial Governor, but one member of the group will confront a demon from her past.

While Ledala and Daurek prepare for a secret mission with Santhou, the remaining members of Mission Group Alpha are sent on a dangerous mission to the remote swamp world of Lotide, the location of an Imperial depot which is rumoured to be doubling as an exchange point for Imperial Spies and researchers. With the help of a new companion, an alien business man named Kinos Drais, Mission Group Alpha, consisting of Gan, Tanlee, Karahaa, Vi, and Troy, will soon discover information which could lead the Alliance to one of its greatest victories since the destruction of the Death Star.

Having found a teacher in the form of the alien adviser on the "Home" Fleet - Santhou, Daurek, with the help of Ledala journeys across the Fakir Sector in the search for a lost telepathic race.  But after finding the creatures, Ledala requests that they attend to some much needed trading on Vengler.  It is here that Daurek, Ledala, Santhou and a new found associate known only as Rala are accosted by a group of blue robed monks and their leader, Dhar Bullwin.  Through a chain of events involving a ancient artefact, the group ventures to the mysterious world of Koda to prevent Dhar Bullwin from unleashing a force which could spell certain doom for the galaxy.

While looking for a suitable location for a Rebel Safe-World, the members of Mission Group Alpha stumble across the world of Masterhome, and the unusual lizard race of the Anointed People.  Here, the members of Mission Group Alpha will have to prove themselves worthy so that the Rebellion can gain some much needed supplies and foodstuffs.  But just when the Rebels think that the mission is a success, the Empire arrives with plans to colonize the planet and place the Anointed People into slavery.  Unless of course the members of Mission Group Alpha have other plans.

After returning from Masterhome, the members of Mission Group Alpha find that the "Home" Fleet is no responding to communications and that the only message is that of a recording from General Romilar requesting that the Members of Mission Group Alpha travel to the jungle planet of Araquia to find the cure for a plague that has suddenly hit the entire "Home" Fleet.  Whilst on the planet, the members of Mission Group Alpha will be forced to help a spider like race liberate their world from the clutches of the Empire before they will release the cure to the Rebellion.

Whilst visiting Tanlee’s homeworld, the mysterious planet of Zennox, Mission Group Alpha ventures to the black markets of Lorrak Beton-Watt Crude to purchase some illegal merchandise.  It is not long however before a member of the Zennox resistance confronts Tanlee with a haunting tale of agents of the Empire kidnapping all of their children.  With the help of her friends, Tanlee travels to the ruined city of Targe to help rescue the children from the clutches of the Imperials, only to find something more devastating – the Empire, lead by a dark and sinister force, has taken control of Zennox.

Having been placed in command of the Home Fleet while General Romilar recovers from the effects of the Plague, Lieutenant Daurek Lennison encounters a strange anomaly seemingly watching the Home Fleet.  hen he investigates, the energy from the fleet is seemingly drained, which allows the escape of one of Mission Group Alpha's greatest enemies. 

Armed with the information they obtained from the Imperial Base on Lotide, the members of Thermal Force take part in a daring raid on the Imperial Supply Depot on Refrax with the aim of taking Black Ice - a large container train, 3 times the size of a Star Destroyer, filled with enough fuel to supply the Rebellion for years to come.  The only thing stopping them, is a ship full of droids and an Imperial Engineer hell-bent on preventing the Rebels from capturing his prize possession. 

Part 1 of a 5 part story arc dealing with the discovery by Tanlee and other members of Thermal Force that Zennox, Tanlee's Homeworld, has been taken control by the Empire.  In this episode, Thermal Force travels to Zennox to locate other black markets operating on the world, along with checking on the status of the Zennox Resistance.  It is not long before a member of the resistance contacts Tanlee with a plea for help.  It is only now that the members of Thermal Force realise that the base which they had previously destroyed was leaking radiation and was consequently affecting the city of Targe.  Armed with this information, Thermal Force makes plans to rescue the resistance members and save the day.

Part 2 of a 5 part story arc dealing with the discovery by Tanlee and other members of Thermal Force that Zennox, Tanlee's Homeworld, has been taken control by the Empire.  In this episode the plan to rescue the members of the resistance is put into play.  The members of Thermal Force travel to the main city of Koradan to slice a computer virus into the Imperial mainframe to give them access to the Imperial Headquarters.  This plan, Thermal Force hopes, will give them time to perform a daring raid on the Headquarters which will cause a distraction, enabling the waiting rebel fleet to enter the system and rescue the members of the Zennox resistance. It is not until Tanlee and the others visit the city of Targe and discover the extent of resistance's plight and that time is running out.
