Emerging from hyperspace, the SR-2 Stealth Frigate, OSV Black Widow, engaged its stealth systems as it crept closer to the planet. In the hangar bay on board, Operative Strahovski climbed aboard a Kodiak-Class Troop Transport."Here is the search grid. Let's get down there and see if we can find out target, shall we?"Miranda handed a datapad to the pilot as she took a seat within the passenger bay. As the shuttle was launched from the ship, it descended towards the vast, verdant farmlands of Dantooine. |

A small vessel entered the asteroid belt. It slipped through the maze with the ease that only a pilot with experience of the treacherous route could display. In her secluded space Epona thought. What now? Where now for that matter. The Old man 's voice rung inside her head -Illusion of An Tiarna- "Wing it!" The voice, conjured up from her own memories was strangely soothing . She mumbled -Epona- "Ceart. Here we go.... And as she mused the pilot manned the ship, as the now aptly named Older Smuggler toyed with maps, outstanding orders and what the Fuck he was going to do with the horse woman stowed away in his hold. Selling her off to some weirdo with a horse fetish was way out; An Tiarna still inspired fear and past that she didn't look to be one who'd roll over easy. But what? And as he thought and she brooded the pilot navigated them through the notorious Smugglers Run

The Sentinel class transport, No Suckluck moved through the dreaded Smmugglers Run on a well traveled path. Sweat poured down The captain's brow as he navigated the vessel

Onto the famed Smugglers Run slipped a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft. The ship ripped along through the dangerous route quickly

Zipping through the belt of asteroids that highlighted the infamous Smugglers Run was no small test but Gid was beginning to become used to the path. As they moved along motormouth rattled on at breakneck speed. Her sister commented -Alem- "You know Shakk if one of us asks to talk it's like pulling teeth to get a word out of you." Shakk nodded - Alem- "But if we want quiet you won't shut that hole in your face." That drew a laugh out of His but Shakk just continued to ramble

Entering from Skip One a Wayfarer transport moved along slowly as it was deftly navigated through the asteroid field. Bombing along into open space and rapidly speeding up the vessel finally made the jump into

[ Nebula “Nibs” Enibry | Bridge | Open Space and Asteroid Field | The Datasphere ] A large spherical vessel exited hyperspace, and began a slow approach through the asteroid field. Controlled entirely by one girl, the orb-shaped ship known as the Datasphere began running sensor sweeps. The girl, one Nebula "Nibs" Enibry was searching for something. She'd trawled through miles of old data, including packets stolen from various organizations, such as CorSec, about rumours regarding various pirates, smugglers and criminals.
She'd eventually picked up enough data and lore that spoke of a rumoured Smuggler's Run.
While no Bothans died obtaining the information, Nibs had lost two friends during one of the more perilous slice jobs. People went to great pains to keep this place a secret. That said a lot about the kind of folk that likely made use of the place, if it really existed. But it also meant that there were people there who were more likely on the wrong side of the law, who were also probably the kind of people more inclined to help her, or use someone of her skill set.
“All right, show yourself,” said Nibs, “I know you're out here somewhere, and I'm going to find you one way or anot-Oh.”
She excitedly began to key in commands into the console in front of her, and suddenly whooped in delight. A sensor ping hit on a large concentration of metal and energy. She had to use specialized military grade sensor systems to locate it, but it was worth it. Still...it was a little suspicious that she'd managed to find it at all. Wouldn't smugglers who didn't want to be found have put something to mask a sensor sweep much like the one she had used?
Nibs honestly wasn't expecting to find her quarry within the first day, let alone within the first hour.
Something was off. Pursing her lips, she pushed her concerns of her easy victory aside and began burning her way towards the Smuggler's Run.

The M22-T Krayt Gunship that belonged to Orrick Awaud, wove in and out of the asteroid field in pursuit of its target; A NovaSword Space Superiority Fighter. A powerful craft that easily outstripped Orrick's gunship. But that wasn't a concern. Orrick knew the asteroid field surrounding the Smuggler's Run like the back of his hand. During his youth, he and Henoc would play their war games in and among the rocks. And given that the majority of Orrick's accepted jobs came out of the Run, utilizing that to his advantage gave him the edge against most of his targets. Fortunately, this target chose to run, rather than stand and square off against Orrick. A turn of events in which he was thankful for. Now it was merely a matter of pushing the target into the chokepoint he had set up. High speed chases through an asteroid belt may not have been most people's idea of a good time, but Orrick loved the exhilaration of it. One misstep and it was all over. There was a finality to a mistake here that didn't exist elsewhere. It quite literally was do or die. Releasing a burst from the ion cannons, three of the six rounds struck the target, but it kept moving. Though it had slowed. Now I've got you...I hope you're ready, ner vodThe aged Mandalorian muttered to himself as he gripped the controls, pushing the limits of what his ship was capable of. It had taken every trick in his arsenal to keep the NovaSword in range, but now that he had scored a few hits with the ion cannons and pushed the other pilot into an area they were unfamiliar with, it had leveled the playing field significantly. While the NovaSword was still much faster, this pilot wasn't nearly as skilled with navigating an asteroid field than Orrick was. As the gunship arced around a large oblong shaped asteroid, there was a ping on his HUD. One of the sensor markers he had planted to aid in his navigation of the field just pinged him, giving him an exact location and potential flight path through the rocks. Just a bit further now...he thought to himself. Normally not one to take on a bounty with a partner, he made the exception when it came to working with his brother. He trusted Henoc and Henoc had proven himself capable time and again. Splitting the reward wasn't even an issue, as even Henoc agreed that a thirty five percent cut went directly back to the Clan. Not that the reward was what he was interested in, anyways. Orrick enjoyed the thrill of the chase and being able to outsmart his opponent. Lethal or non-lethal takedowns, that didn't matter to him either. This particular job, however, was to collect a Twi-lek that had failed to pay his protection fees on the Run and tried to skip out when collectors came knocking. A non-lethal takedown, but a particularly handsome reward, as the Twi'lek was the proprietor of an antiquities shop that had managed to acquire a few black market weapons. Something that his employer was happy to hand over. Loosing another barrage from the ion cannons, followed up by two concussion missiles, the NovaSword slowed significantly, allowing Orrick to close the gap a little bit more. Opening a comm channel with his brother, he updated him on the progress.Got one coming in, limping. When he rounds the next bend, he'll be all yours until I catch up. Cripple his ship, but we need him alive.That was one of the few traits that his brother exhibited that could be detrimental from time to time, and that was the enjoyment of killing his opponent. In the heat of the hunt, Henoc could get carried away, which had only gotten worse since the Clan had been forced from Telos. Orrick knew that Henoc, having been in charge of their Enclave at the time, blamed himself. No one else did, but at this point, it most likely was a matter of pride for Henoc, that the Imps had gotten the better of him. Pushing those thoughts from his mind, Orrick loosed two more concussion missiles, purposely overshooting his target and causing the missiles to impact and detonate ahead, forcing the NovaSword down and around the next large asteroid, and right into Henoc's lap...

The Cin Tracinya (White Flame), a Ye-4 Gunship that belongs to Henoc was idle waiting for his vod to drive the target into their ambush so that that he could cripple the target's vessel. The bounty called for the target to be brought in hot not cold. Since he and his clan were forced from their enclave on Telos by Imperial dogs, Henoc had been more aggressive towards his bounty and opponents even enjoying the moment he took their lives, but he still had honor and would do what was right for his clan. Henoc then received word from his Vod that the target was approaching quickly and that needed him alive, it was a bit insulting that his vod felt the need to remind him that the target needed to be brought in alive but Henoc understood, he was a bit more unhinged since Telos. Henoc responded to his vod on the comm channel that Orrick had opened.Copy that Vod. The target won't know what hit him.Henoc then went through a quick final weapons check and all systems were green and good to go, all that was left was to wait for the ship to round the bend. A few moment latter the NovaSword Space Superiority Fighter appeared and Henoc quickly engaged the ship by firing the Ye-4's medium blaster cannons, landing a couple of shots on the starboard side. The NovaSword cut hard to port and began to pickup speed while Henoc was following closely behind then Henoc dove down and manage to get under the NovaSword and fired the blaster cannons located on top of the Ye-4 up at the bottom of the NovaSword all of the shots fired landed and the NovaSword pulled up and spun around and started to head back the way it come while Henoc and his crew aboard the Ye-4 gunship pulled the same maneuvers and was now following behind and they kept firing at the NovaSword landing a few shots here and there. Henoc gritted his teeth beneath his helmet and reopened the comm channel to his Vod. The hut'uun is coming back to you Vod. Slippery one, he is. Starboard side and keel have been damage.Henoc and his crew continued to pursue the target driving him back Orrick.

As the Ye-4 Gunship approached the NovaSword and Orrick's ship as Orrick opened a Comm channel and spoke to Henoc. Henoc brought the Gunship close to the NovaSword before getting up from the pilot seat and making his way to the back of the ship as he did this the other seven Awaud Mandalorians that were with him on the Gunship made sure that their suits were sealed before Henoc vented the atmo within the Gunship and opened the airlock and jumped over to the NovaSword, using his jetpack to ensure he made it and didn't miss.
Henoc opened the door on the NovaSword and entered the ship and proceeded to inspect the spoils of the hunt. Henoc made note that the ship was made to fit two crewmembers, a pilot and the second seat could hold a copilot, commander, systems operator, or engineer depending on what's needed at the time. Henoc smirked beneath his helmet, he knew that the ship was fast as he had just finished chasing it. He however wanted to know what she could do with an experienced pilot at the helm. Henoc opened a comm to The Cin Tracinya. Head back to the Run and wait for me, I want to see what this buyca can do.Henoc's copilot then speak through the comm.Understood, Vod. K'oyacyi!The Gunship then head back to the Run to dock and wait for Henoc. While he tested out the NovaSword. Henoc fired up the fighter and took off, maneuvering in between the Asteroids. Henoc smirked again, the NovaSword was fast and handled well with a capable pilot. Next Henoc tested out the weapons, firing the laser cannons and one of the three missiles onboard the fighter. Henoc noted that it was odd that the target didn't fire any at them, he must have been solely focus on trying to escape him and his Vod.
Having put the NovaSword through her paces, Henoc decided that he was going to kept her for himself. He turned around and headed back to the run, to meet up with Orrick and the others. While on the way back, Henoc thought on what he should name the starfighter.

He ignored the glare from Deni, well aware of the reason behind it. Any reaction or response he gave right now would not alter its condition or change what had already happened. Instead he kept his focus on the quick and short work Nibs did to the droid he had loaned to her. At least in a fight he would be able to more easily identify which unit was hers. He then got to endure the double voice of her actually speaking and the droid mimicking it with barely any noticeable delayGood...At least once they were taken off it would be reduced to a single echo of her voice. He looked down at Deni as she seemed perplexed about the aerial relay request. It seemed he had perhaps overestimated her knowledge in such an area. It wasn't long till she was pushing him to get goingSomeone's rather eager...He lead the way up into the TIE/sas Stealth Assault Shuttle, waiting until Deni and N1B5 had boarded before signalling the mechanised crew to take off. The loading ramp closed up as the Shuttle and the Charybdis-class Gunships began to lift off from the Hangar Bay floor and took off out into the void surrounding the Smuggler's RunThis way.He guided Deni up to the cockpit then, with the viewport providing visual on the string of asteroids that made up the Run. But soon the asteroids gave way to the empty void, before being filled once more, this time with the Erebus-class Dungeon Ship as they drew closer and closer to itThe Erebus, another liberated reward...The TIE/sas angled toward the bridge, before landing in a hangar bay close by to it. More of the ninja like droids were within, guiding the ship down before getting to work running maintenance and a refuel as Reaper lead the way out of the Shuttle. His HUD flashed up with several reports relating to news stories from the Core Worlds passed through criminal netsSo... What do you think our first port of call should be? I'd recommend avoiding First Order territory if we can... Nibs was using her optic aid to maintain communication and control of N1B5, but she didn't actually have to talk out loud anymore. What she'd been doing earlier had simply been for the benefit of herself and all around to know the efficiency of the connection. Once she'd set the technicians, personnel and droids to at least get started on reactivating the Run, she could handle almost everything from within the Control Tower, where she only had three admin droids performing the basic tasks.
This left her free to observe Reaper and Deni on the ship. She thought Reaper only had his shuttle and escorts, but it turned out there was something even bigger out there, and when she saw the size of that ship, through her connected neural implants, the droid simulated her movements and motions, and she placed her hands on the backrest of the chair, exclaiming, :: Holy mother of Grecklezog! So that's where that ship went! ::
Her interest was evident as she swivelled N1B5's head all around to study the layout and the interior of the ship. Once they boarded the ship, she walked out behind Reaper and Deni, pausing at the ramp to take a good look around. She had outfitted N1B5 with a holocron, and as soon as Reaper had asked his question, Nibs began pulling up information and the droid held out the device, which lighted up, displaying the galaxy. A red outline appeared around one planet and then enlarged to showcase the world for all to see.
:: Based on recent movements and activity, :: said Nibs, :: Varonat's been getting some higher than usual visits by Wikil Yoo's more well known associates and lieutenants. It quite out of the way, and remote, of little interest to most parties. I think it's where he goes to recuperate after a kill. ::
“Tha's jus' grand...” said Deni dryly, “...real piece of shite, ain' 'e?”
:: Yeah, he is a piece of work, :: said Nibs, nodding the droid's head, :: Pretty clever too. I mean, he...they? They're pretty smart, only ever been caught on a holocam one time...though his signature never changes. ::

He studied the display as Nibs brought up a map through her Droid Puppet, Watching as it changed from the Galaxy view down to a Planetary focus on Varonat. The crew of the Erebus were already getting to work adjusting the Dungeon Ships course and preparing a jump to hyperspace. He seemed unphased by any of the information Nibs was relaying to themHis smarts and luck are about to run out...The Erebus jumped to hyperspace then on it's way toward Varonat
