The '''Mission to Antiquity''' was a failed [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] operation to capture an [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] [[Unidentified Imperial colonel|Colonel]] on the planet [[Antiquity]] during the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]].

==Background==
A [[Smuggler/Legends|smuggler]] group was hired to ferry four individuals to the [[City/Legends|city]] [[Lis'an]] on the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] [[Antiquity]]. The employers were [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] [[New Republic Special Forces/Legends|commandos]] who tried to infiltrate discreetly the planet in order to capture an [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] [[Gender/Legends|female]] [[Unidentified Imperial colonel|Colonel]] hiding on the Antiquity since the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]]. The smugglers were not aware of the commando's mission.

==The mission==
When the New Republic commandos arrived in Lis'an, the Colonel had already left the city. They then informed the smugglers they need more extra hours.

During their free time, the smugglers were approached by a [[Zarian]] conman named [[Woetar]] ho swindled one of the smugglers at [[Sabacc/Legends|sabacc]] a few months back.

He was hired to ferry a package from the city of [[Karren]] but some disgruntled ex-customers were surrounding his ship. He offered [[Galactic Credit Standard|credits]] to fly him to Karren. The smugglers agreed than the ex-customers, a bunch of thugs, attacked the ship. The smugglers fought them off and took off for Karren. Upon landing, Woetar directs the smugglers to the [[Twin Scales]] tavern. The smugglers were eventually led to a female courier, who asked them to take her to the orbiting ship. She was in fact the wanted Imperial Colonel.

The group headed back to the [[Karren spaceport|spaceport]], to find [[Law enforcement agency/Legends|police]] crawling all over the ship. Their [[YT-2550]] eventually head into [[Orbit/Legends|orbit]], only to be intercepted by two ships, one a [[Carrack-class light cruiser/Legends|''Carrack''-class cruiser]] coming out of [[Hyperspace/Legends|hyperspace]], the other a modified [[Freighter/Legends|freighter]] from the planet. The New Republic commandos in the freighter demanded the smugglers land at once. However, the Imperial cruiser fought off the freighter, and the smugglers deliver the courier to it and were paid by [[Imperial officer/Legends|Imperial officers]].

==Aftermath==
Back at Lis'a hours later, a very disgruntled group of passengers returned to the smuggler ship. One of them was overheard complaining how their [[Commando/Legends|commando]] mission get wrecked by some "no good [[Spacer/Legends|spacers]]" in an unidentified ship.
